Women's Special satirized.

the mayor of the town:
Women and men of Kidderville:
I've just been told by the telegraph op-
orator that the Millinery Special now

"Joe Dodson's got monkey what
chews tobacco; ought to bring him
friends" interposed Kiddervillian
"As I was sayin'," continued the
mayor, "this is entirely a woman's
party. The only men aboard the train
is the crew, and every one OF them IS
older than Uncle Joe Cannon. There's
also, I'm told. whole car for the bag
gage and ladies' pets-dogs. cats, par
rots and a monkey. and other birds and
varmints they dassent leave to home. .

richly dressed women were escorted by

Mrs G. Mortimer de Scads addressed

WHEAT FOR THE BREAD HUNGRY.

One of the best. known and most reliable crop forecasters in America
has reviewed the worlds wheat situation and, his conclusion strike us
as unusually significant. He states that the 1916 crop will be normal
or less. The European acreage is decreasing as the al continues; Can
ada cannot equal last years remarkable crop. Since the ar began the
United States has produced a yearly average OF 150OO0O bushels more
than before and has exported annually 100000 bushels more.
Europes los in acreage and field labor will not be offset by a yield above
average for the third year in succession.
Consider this n phase of the worlds wheat situation. The availa-
Bile supply in France this year will be only 2l2S3OdO bushels. Frances
annual average production in normal times is 34O52oNO. which is II
tirely consumed at home. If the influx of Belgian refugees be consid-
cred as partially ofsetng the decreased consumption, due to the TACT
that a portion OF France is invaded, it is estimated that the total com
say for France to import about 100000 bushels OF wheat, represent
ing a value Of approximately $1sOO00NU. Russia cannot supply the de
fnt, and Canada is shipping across ali she to England.
Certainly it appears that the American farmer will be called upon to
feed the bread-hungry of the world. From demand and supply figures
it would cen that a high price per bushel may be expected. The area
OF winter killed wheat is large, and undoubtedly means still higher prices
for what is left. Have you a field of wheat? The part OF wisdom is to
top dress that field with fertilizer (say 200 pounds per acre OF n analyz-

MILITARY JUSTICE IN IRELAND.

In the reaction caused by the hasty execution OF Irish prisoners the
British government is beginning ITO realize how badly it handled the Stu
alton, states the New York World. But his promise that no more ser
fences will be carried nj until parliament has had time to debate the
measures already taken. Premier Asquth admits the need OF greater
caution.
In giving the military a free hand the way va opened for a policy
OF ruthlessness. Prisoners who we're taken before secret courtmartial
and sent to their death at the hands of the firing squad before the pub
lie ven knew that they were under arrest, 1t is mot sympathy with
treason, but adherence of needless shedding og blood that inspires pro-
tests against the governments course.
II the Irish prisoners had died fighting in the streets of Dublin their
end would have excited scant pity. But the instruction had been sup
preesd, the troops had restored order, and the future peace of Ireland
dictated that the insurgents hould be treated with some clemency.
If after Lincohns assassination Mrs. Surratts fate had not been left
to a military commission, this country would have escaped the mistake
Of her execution. In the Gas of the Dublin insurgents, marital law ex-
acted the extreme penalty before pubic opinion could intervene. In their
hurry the military showed themselves vengeful and bloodthirsty, and the
government stands responsible for their merciess methods. The chap
