Garden of Eden.

The idea and imagery of a Garden
of Eden, as the cradle of race, came
from the Sumerians, who had far
more imagination than the Semites, as
the early tablets prove. The Semites,
who came from the northwest and
travelled eastward placed their Gar
den of Eden on the upper Euphrates,

GOOD TIMES
ARE COMING
Years Of Prosperity For The
Agriculturists ofThe
United States.

Of agricultural conditions through
out the world to note that the agri-
culturists Of the United S,etes have
years of great prosperity before
them If given normal climatic condi-
tons for their crops. With a 4-pound
loaf Of bread selling at II cents in
London; with food riots in Italy,
Portugal and Spain; with the Belgian
people depending upon the charity
of this continent for food; with the
known scarcity Of grain in Austria.
Germany. Switzerland. Turkey and
Holland; with the Russian govern
ment assuming control of the grain
within its domains. and with Is, OO0.-
900 of people in Mexico facing star
walton. there remains no doubt of the
urgency of immediate and future de-
mands.
Now as to the supply; Canada's
$50. 900 stalwart men on the battle
fields of Europe out of her small pop
ulation means less production of
in the Dominion.
Great Britain's order to Egypt's
farmers that one-third of the cotton
acreage must be given up and the
release d area planted in rice. means
less cotton next year from Egypt and
more rice for Egypt's own popula-
ton. but it signifies nothing for the
relief Of the hungry in Europe.
Belgium cannot possibly raise 80
per cent of its normal crops this
year; Galicia, Poland and East Prus-
ia, Servia, and one-fifth of France
will yield next to nothing so far as
ield crops are concerned.
The farmers Of Great Britain are
protesting now against recruiting |
AID ere angry with the British cab
met for recent attempts to call the
depleted class of farm laborers to the
battlefield
They argue that their laborers are
needed to help raise food for the
army, the navy and the British pso-
pie, and in that way are rendering
the greatest service to the empire.
Russia has drawn fully 100000
of men from her fields and Germany.
Austria, Italy and France will each
and all of them fall short of usual
acreages 10 cultivation.
The neutral nations. Holland.
Spain, Denmark, Norway and Sweden
have drawn heavily through mobili.
cation of troops upon their farm la
Dor. and they. too. will be embarass-
ed by great deficiencies in foodstuffs.
To the United States these hun
dreds of millions of population will
be forced to look for supplies for the
coming fifteen months Of great
dearth in their own countries. aud
not in the next five years will it be
possible for the war.stricken nations
of Europe TO attain the food produc-
tion of their recent past.
The farm products of the United
States will be called upon for the
supply of the world. and the cash of
the world will flow here in powerful
currents to pay the planters and
farmers for their products of their
lands.

al districts. who can doubt the pros

at Leavenworth, Kan, for completely
in dynamitings.
"This trip won't do Rockefeller any
good" said Mother Jones. 81 told him
to go to Trinidad alone, call all his
miners together and hear their griev-
ances. Instead he is out there, sur

King and the rest, and he is seeing
only what they want him to see.
