STREAM OF WEALTH.

The Government crop report
for November is something more
than dull, statistical, representa-.
tion of the prosaic writer's of
Washington.
1t narrates romance of in.
dustry and production. The
,OO2, ,O29, 900. bushel wheat crop
is larger by 11O,000,OOO bushels
: than the record crop of this
king of grains in the past, and
exceeds by more than 100000, 900
bushels the average for the last
five years.
One.quarter of the entire
wheat crop of the globe was har.
vested in the United States in
spite of the great rains of the
harvest season. The corn crop
of 5000, 100000 bushels is
Slightly smaller than that of one
single prior year, but is also
more than 3OO,OOO,000 bushels
larger than the average crop of
FIVE years.
And with the enormous excess
above our own needs for food
which these unprecedented crops
furnish, there has come no ruin
GUS decline of prices. Get this.
While the big crops have in
iluenced one scale pan of the
great balance operated under
the law of supply and demand,
the war has influenced the other
pan.
For some people new light
has dawned. 1t has been shown
that rains will fall, that sunshine
will be- diifused, that the soil will
yield as generously under Demo
cratic as under Republican ad.
ministration.
Astounding, enlightening reve-
lation.
An embarrassment of riches
with Democrats in power! What
will the Republicans do for a
campaign issue?
But greater than the rewards
of the munition makers, or the
greedy ocean shipping interests,
or of the capitalists who take ad-
vantage of the financial neceS-
stiles of troubled nations, will be
the rewards of peace-loving
American farmers.

lives. The personals among the
number include a considerable
percentage of the present state
administration, including several
avowed aspirants for the Cover
norship. Evangelist Scoville is
to be congratulated. Could Rev.
Willie Sunday have done better
in this particular? OF late the
papers have been talking about
the macadamizing of the Old
Trails roads; have greatly in
terested us in the improvement
of the Santa f'e Trail, the Oregon
Trail and the Old Trail road

Nothing has brought so many
citizens to Southeast Missouri as
iudicious advertising, and if prop
erly carried on it will still further
increase the ratio of new comerS.
The citizens of Pemiscot county
should remember that there yet
remains many vacant acres of
land within our borders, and that
the way to get it settled is to put
our many resources properly
before the public.

1t is alarming to think that in

A Patriotic Movement.

The organizers of the American Legion
are doing a genuinely patriotic work.
They are getting together volunteer
body of first reserves for national de-
fence. The country sadly needs real
army reserve. The one it now has con-
sists Of sixteen men. Representative
Gardner, after much searching, has just
laid hands on eight of them and invited
them TO a dinner In Washington.
How are we to get adequate army re-
serves? President Wilson takes no In
.erest In measures 10 overcome our mill
tary deficiencies. He adhered in his
message to Congress last December to the
old tske-it-easy doctrine that our chief
dependence In war must be on "citi-
zenry trained and accustomed 70 arms
That means, apparently, on citizens who
In their youth used 10 shoot game birds
and small animals with fowling pieces.
In the earlier days they might have shot
with rifles at big game or Indians. But
as Secretary Garrison has justly pointed
out, nlONbIn war dllOho ilO bI4llc iOi ull-
promising mere citizenry Into an army.
Six months at least are required to train
men for fighting under modern condi-
lions, and in case Of invasion the maxi
mum Of harm which foreign army
could do 70 the United States would
probably be done before any Of our raw
levies could be brought into action.
Mr.. Wilson's Ioissez fGire attitude has
made impossible in this Congress any
legislation strengthening the national
defence. Even tho modest requests OF
Secretary Garrison for a stronger first
line have been ignored. SO far AS aid
from this administration is concerned the
country is doomed TO get along without
an adequate mobile force, without a re-
serve of regulars and without satisfac-
tory provision for supplying an army
called into existence IN an emergency.
Until Mr.. Wilson goes out Of Office we
