Real Schoolboys

THE BARBARIAN. BY Brewer corcorm Illus
traied by Walter S. Rogers. l2mo. 10. SO5 Inc
Page Company
Was it Tom Hughes who started the
series? Or did he take his cue from
some earlier chronicler of the deeds OF
youth? At any rate, since his time we
have had an unbroken succession OF
books about schoolboys Stalky, The
Varmint. and all the rest. Why not, in
deed? Each year sees new class en-
tered, a new class graduated. Youth
is perennial. and so must be its annals.
As for this Barbarian. he is worthy
Of the line. We like him, and the whole
ST. 10 crowd. They are real boys, with
all of real boys faults and virtues.
They act like boys, talk like boys, think
like boys. And, like real boys, their
doings are interesting not alone to
ether boys. but scarcely less TO all of
us grown-ups who have ever been real
boys ourselves.

Miscegenation
A Classic Masterpiece on the
Race Problem

HIS own COUNTRY BY Paul Ko,tor. Emo. 20.
692. The Bobhs Merrill Company.
There are three distinct points Of
view from which this volume is TO be
regarded. One is the dramatic; from
which we should consider its plot, its
action. its climaxes; remembering that
it's author is best known as writer Of
plays. Another is the literary; hav-
ing TO do with its verbal form and
style. The third is the ethno-socio-
logical; dealing with it as a vitalized
discussion of the great problems Of the
relationships between the white and
black races in America and the
status Of those who are Of mingled
bloods.
We have no hesitation in saying that
from whichever of the three the book
is regarded, it must be reckoned a mas
tcrIiece. Its dramatic qualities are
simply overwhelming. Comedy, melo-
drama and tragedy are all there, in

GOALS

By Samuel Ullman. !, Where is our goal? We come to life without our ken, We may go out against our will, We act our part as best we can: If this is true then all is well As we know not what is to be. What is your goal?
 Inquiring words oft come to me In the quiet of the night, And in flute-like voice asks, "Where goeth time in taking flight " And I answer, T do not know" Chance is not the goal.
 How came the sun and the moon to be, And the symphonies of the spheres? How came the air and salty sea? What keeps the planets in their
 spheres?
 When this we know, we know 1t all. There is design to our goal Who made made the dewdrop and the
 rain,
 And gives ken to the honey bee; Puts life into the tiny grain, That charm, cool and feed you and Where there's design. there's de-
 signer.
 ask, is the grave your goal?
 Does the moundlet that holds our
 dust
 Does the bier of some loved soul Sever the tie and sacred trust After the clay is stiff and cold? Death does not mean extinction.
 
 The promise of hope is our goal think from the ark of ev'ry life The dove of hope and trust flies forth; {; She bears in her beak the olive Branch the promise in reunion, This longing may be realized. sigh may reveal goal There's threnody in words unspoken That may bring us message clear, And tears unseen and signs unheard May fill our hearts with calm and cheer.
 We oft feel more than we can tell. Is there gamble in our goal? If life a game and we the pawns, Shunted about by the trick lout? Life has purpose, I do not doubt, Another state may round it out. Oblivion is not a goal
 Does death end all in endless sleep? No, we must give a true account Of deed, and speech, of pain and ease, Of all things sought, of all things done. Compensation is the law.
 I seek a pathway to my goal I know I like my house of my life; Some day I must give up it's key To enter one with brighter light Which I hope is awaiting me. Is it a dream that may come true? With infinite I'll find my goal I do not know there is a God. But I believe there's a Being Emanant in tree and sod. He is my guide, I have no fear; He's my Shepherd, I shall not want.

100000. 900 bushels from the western
 allies.
 The wheat crop in Canada is off cially estimated at less than half the crop of 1915, and reports from Ar gentina also show a material decrease.
 The only other wheat countries of
 importance are Australia and British
 India. Australia is three times as far
 from Europe as the United States and
 transportation from there as well as in Russia is blocked by the Germans
 I have before me an estimate made by Food Commissioner Hoover. He says that the wheat crops of Europe will this year fall 500,000,0O0 bushels below their normal production, and that as a minimum we must ship 10 them 225.000.0 900 bushels of wheat Ana then there are the great armies. Uncle Sam expects to have million men at the front as soon as they can De tralhed and transported. 1 despair of making you appreciate the enormous quanti- ties of food needed to supply mil lion men, It would take 5771 barrels of flour every 24 hours, or the entire crop from a wheat field almost four miles square When baked in the army ovens this flour would make nearly 2.OOO. 900 loaves of bread. which. placed two deep and four high, would Ill bakeshop counter reaching all the way from Washington to Baltimore.
 But let us take look into our na- tional flour barrel and see where these enormous supplies are to be found Even with the bumper crop of 1915, which left a surplus of 164,OO0,O00 bushels to be added to the 1916 crop, we had on hand last March less than enough to supply our own yearly need of 500, ,000 900 bushels. The great ship ments abroad and the amount saved for seed left us only 464.000,000 bush els, and before the crop of 1917 be- came available Uncle Sam had to scrape the last bits of flour dust from the bottom of his barrel. The official estimate for the crop of 1917 is placed at 653, GOO 900 bushels, or only 153,- COG. .OG0 bushels more than we usually consume here at home. Taking out the 100, 900 bushels necessary for seed, we should have left only 53.O00,0oo bushels for export This would clean up every bushe1 of wheat produced this year and empty the bins in eV- cry elevator in the country. And yet Mr. Hoover says we must have no less

Edgar referred there are 1870 flour mills, with g, daily capacity of 73O,651 barrels of flour. That would make over 226,O0O.000 loaves of bread, or enough to give every day, two ioaves to every man, woman and child in the United States.
 I asked one of the millers here as to the price of flour, and how high it would go. Said he:
 That would be hard to say. In other wars it has gone as high as $4.25, which was the average Liverpool price during the war of 1872. Just after the civil war it reached $2.16, and in the second year of the Crimean war it rose to $2.34 q bushel. Of course, if the food administration is successful in regulating the price we shall be saved from excessive hoarding and specula- ton on the part of the growers. The real food dictator of America is the farmer. On him depends the supply and the price, and just now, when all industries and manufacturers are asked to take only a nominal profit, he will have to fall into line"

 Come with me through the great mills which are handling our wheat crop. Minneapolis is the largest four city in
 the world. 1t is one of the leading grain markets in the country, and it stands at the top of the list as the greatest primary
 wheat market on the globe. Since 1S9l
 the annual output of it's mills has eX-
 cee6ed 1S,000,0 900 barrels and its flour IS
 known all over the world. The president Of one of tine largest mills here told me of an incident that took place during the Russo Japanese war. A number of Japa- nese officers were celeb ating the victory of the battle of Mukden and an Ameri can army officer who was present at the banquet remarked upon the excellence of the bread. Using the one or two words of Japanese that he knew, he said that it was "ich ban or humber one" Tt ought to be-" replied the Japanese general, with bow. Tt is made of flour that came from Minneapolis. We cap tured it from the Russians"
 I took a walk today through the mill- Ing district of Minneapolis. All of the flour mills are huddled together about the falls of St. Anthony, only six blocks from the business part of the city. Here the Mississippi river makes a drop Of 4S feet as it rolls on down toward the gulf. The water is conducted into great tur- pines, and altogether it develops about e. 000 horsepower. This is almost all used for the mills, and the falls themselves are nearly dry. They have been covered with blanks to prevent the rocks from wearing away. and the water pours over boards rather than stone. The milling business has grown so rapidly that there is not enough water to furnish the power, and an even greater power is be- Ing developed by steam.
 This milling district consists of enor- nous buildings of limestone rising to height of 100 to 200 feet. Railroad tracks on trestIes run here and there, high above the ground, and the trains bring the wheat to the very doors of the mills. h one large establishment the tracks go right into the buildings, and the flour is loaded on the trains before it leaves the mill There are number of eleva- tors connected with the mills and the great terminal elevators rise high above the city in every direction. Minneapolis has about 50 of these great grain bins

ration had to be issued for the chill dren and the aged at a cost of more than a million dollars a month. This was the experience of the Belgian res lief committee"
 What are the millers doingNto meet the great need for flour and to relieve the food shortage?' asked. MT. Edgar replied: 'As soon as war was de- clared the milling interests came to- gether and organized to meet these questions and to aid the government In any way possible. They divided the country up into eight natural divisions and selected one man to represent, or ganize and act for his division. The work of the organization was to be in touch with the food commission at Washington There was great meet ing of all the millers and they agreed that during the war they would take only normal profits and that they would try to prevent speculation ot any kind. The basis for the price of flour is the actual cost of the wheat, plus the small profit justified for turn ing the wheat into flour. The millers further agreed to leave their books open to the food administrator at all times"
 In the eight divisions to which MT.

 I AM at the nozzle of the great grain

 apolis is the wheat and flour cen- ter of the world, and in our task of feeding the armies and peoples of Flu rope 1t stands first in importance among the centers of food production today. It has been said that there are but three factors in our war with the Germans. These are funds, munitions of war and food. That we can supply the first two is being proved daily by the success of the liberty loans and our great shipments of guns, shells and explosives across the ocean to the battlehelds of France and Italy.
 The question of food is not so easily disposed of. The demands of our allies are enormous, and the whole world is on the edge of a famine. Nearly forty million men have been taken from the occupations of peace to make up and equip the great fighting forces. The ranks of the food producers have been materially thinned and the wom- en have been forced into the fields. Every nation in Europe is on war diet, and England is said to have food TUT only three WGehS dn6du. NOW more than ever do the armies march on their stomachs and in the war of to- day it is not only the soldiers at the front who make up the armies, but also the men and women who work to supply their equipment. These armies must be fed, and the United States is the store from which their food must come. It is not question of generos- ity. We are not adopting the wheat less day or the meatless day from un- selfish reasons. The conservation of our food Is a grim necessity and upon it depends the future of our country and that of much of Europe besides.
 Feeding the worldl That is the task that has been set Uncle Sam. The great wheat and grain resources of Russia, the country second to the United States, have been cut off by the Germans. Russia is virtually un- able to get the wheat of her south to her arctic ports for shipment to the armies on the western front.

NAVY YARDS UTILIZING JUNK.
Shipped From Fisheries Stations by
 Secretary Redfeld's Order.

On a recent visit to one of the fisheries stations on the Atlantic Coast, Secretary Redfield found stored there some thousadns of pounds of old copper and brass and some tons of old rope, awaiting the usual method of disposal by auction. The Secretary knew that supplies of that kind were in demand at the Boston Navy Yard and arranged for the direct transfer of the goods in stead of selling them. thus saving to the government a considerable amount. Following up the idea, he has addressed a circular letter to all of the various bureaus of the Department of Commerce directing that copper and brass and rope be turned directly in to the navy yards where the material can be utilized. "It is not at all matter of short age of supplies. or anything of that sort" stated Secretary Redheld, ''but
