corn crops value may reach $780,
900 900.
Estimates of the principal crops
announced today by the Department
of Agriculture, based on conditions OF
August /, show that all crops will be
greater than last year. Interest CEN
tered on wheat and corn. Both show
ed improvement over July conditions,
though excessive rains and cold
weather in the Central States inter
fered with threshing. Oats also suf-
fered in those States, but in other
sections the improvement more than
Offset this.
Corn prospects increased about
1O0,0O0,000 bushels, the principal gain
having been Illinois, 30,000,000 bush
els; Kansas, 24,OO0,000; Oklahoma,
$4,000, 900; Nebraska, 15.000,000; Iowa,

100000; Nebraska, 100000, and
Missouri, 100000, while Ohio and
Indiana showed an increase or 3,000,-

creases over record crops indicated
include tobacco, 2S.000,000 pounds;
fax, 100000 bushels; hay 100000

AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE SOUTH

Paramount TrayelOgues Interesting
One OF Most Picturesque HarbOrs
i'm the World.

The harbor of Antofagasta, Chile,
is most remarkable for its bird and
animal life It is the chief port OF
the southern nitrate country, and is
therefore one OF the most active ports
on the west coast. Myriads of birds,
mostly gulls of various species clus-
ter about the wharfs and shipping
and flap noisly about the harbor
While the situation of the town is not
particularly attractive, the Paramount
Travel Picture which is shown at the
Opera House shows US that it has an
air OF prosperity, good shops and
hotels. The streets are not paved,
but are well kept; the transportation
while provincial is entirely sufficient.
Valparaiso, the largest and busiest
port on the Pacific coast OF South
America, quite lives up to its nick
name vale of Paradise" judging
from the Paramount Travel Picture.
There is an exceptionally fine monu-
ment at the Plaza Independence,
erected to commemorate the bravery
and courage of Captain Arturo Pratt,
who, when in command of the Gillian
ship Esmeralda, fought Admiral Gran

Riding towards the suburbs, il is
quite amusing to see the urcnins

ductor.
Half an hours ride by train from
Valparaiso brings you to the suburb
OF Vina Del Mar. This is the sum-

The IlIusiye Rat.

She was in the habit of cleaning her
front doorstep ON Saturday nights IN
order to avoid the necessity OF Sun
day labor, and was 50 engaged on one
occasion when she was alarmed by
the squeaking of rat She beat a
hasty retreat into the house, but en-
boldened by little family counsel
and armed with a brush she returned
to the doorstep to slay the rodent.
Several 1usty blows i'm the darkness
at the doorstep had no effect beyond
bringing forth a few more squeaks
from the invisible rat a kindly
passerby offered his aid on learning
the cause OF the trouble, But his ef-
forts with the brush were no more e.
fective than the females The rat
would not be killed, nor would 1t 60
away. III would do nothing but squeak
and at last the effort was given up.
Next morning the lady's neighbor.

The White Terror" Is a forceful
exposition OF the dangers that result
from taking the various ever-present
and attractively bottled quack con-
sumption cures. The Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association through the medi-
um OF this motion picture play, IL try
ing to bring the fact home to the
people of the state that at the pres
est time Old Mother Nature offers the
only dependable cure for consump-
ton, with a regular physician on
hand to tell how to make the best
use of her gifts. Besides this, other
factors having to do with the under
mining Of health are clearly pictured
in this film, namely, over-crowding,
lack of ventilation, dust and smoke
from machines, the employment Of
child labor, the employment Of con
sumptive laborers, improper chairs
and benches for the women employees,
the unsanitary dipper and drinking
bucket, and the dirty sink and roller
towels for washing purposes.

BLAMES CAPITALISM. - You
cannot chase flies with doors and
windows shut. You might swat them
once for good, but surely you can't
stop them from annoying by merely
chasing them from one place to an
other. Segregation of vice is like the
flies on one side; to scatter the pros
titutes is to have flies all over.
Prostitution is an unavoidable
feature of CAPITALISM; the crea-
ton of capitalism. In fact, capital
ism, upon a careful analysis, is moth
ing less than prostitution itself, dis
guised by business smile and hand
shake, may it sound though harsh to
you. It is prostituting of the very
soul and conscience in a legalized
manner.
Capitalism breeds prostitution, for
through it mammon coins the bodies
of the females into gold. Capitalism
can't help filing the world with pros
titution. It denies the people an op-
portunity to elevate themselves out
of the animal state through an edu-
cation. It denies them the possibility
to establish a home and live a nat
uraI life of a father and mother. It
forces, through unemployment, the
tender girls to sell their bodies for
the mere right to live It also per-
mits the sons Of wealthy parasites to
tempt the poor girls by promises into.
a life of shame, without fear of pun
ishment.
So there you have it; ignorance, in
helplessness, degradation
and the iron law of nature, all con-
fined in one cage, one at the mercy
of the other. Shall we expect some
rights and order in that cage? Inn
possible. ...,

can be remedied. Medical science has
found a remedy for nearly every hu-
man ailment. Why cannot political
or social science find a remedy for
this social ailment of unemployment?
The French revolutionists were
right in looking upon the aristocrats
as their despoilers. But how about
our unemployed? They don't know
who is keeping them in that condi-
ton. Surely it is not those much
abused corporations and other use
full institutions, which are really
keeping people employed to the ex-
tent that there is a demand for their
services or products.
We have one law which operates
as deterrent upon business and in
dustry. To Illustrate: Today 1 met a
man with colored diagram walking
from house to house and seeming
very much interested in each place
he visited. AS he appeared an anna
bic sort of person 1 stopped to ex-
change a few remarks. The first
words out of this individuals mouth
were question as to whether the
buildings on that street had cement
floors in the easements and whether
much had been done in the way of
improvements since last year.
The man was from the assessors
Office trying to ascertain the extenl
of the added wealth which had been
created in this street and to fine or
tax the guilty ones accordingly.
Now to erect building or to i'm

to labor. Why not encourage this by
taking off all taxes?-J. Weller, 1929
