MILLET FOR WASTE PLACES.

MiIlet is a crop that can be seeded
the first of June in North Dakota. Pot
holes that were too wet to seed will
usually be dry enough to seed to milIet
June 1. There may be other lands not
in crop that can be sown to millet. For
hay the German and Siberian varieties
are usually preferred. One-half bushel
of seed is needed per acre. The broom
corn, hog or prose- millets are the best
to grow for seed. Three pecks per
acre will make good seeding. Millet
makes a good hay but 1t is best to feed
1t with other hay or roughage. Millet
seed is very much like oats in feeding

Philadelphia, May 31.-Joe oeschger,
Philly pitcher, looks ready to have a
good season in the box. Joe has been
with the Phillies since 1914 and in the
seasons past has been of little help to
the team. Early this spring Pat
Moran told Oeschger that he would
have to earn his wage or prepare to
pack grip.
Oeschger has been held by the
Phillies because he was known to have
natural ability and all sorts OF stuff
IL he ever learned how to use it, He
seemed to lack quite bit in the way
Of confidence and the right sort OF
headwork. Moran believed that if
Oeschger tried his best he would be
winner.
The pitching Oeschger has done this
season indicates that Moran was right
about it. Joe has pitched some beauti-
full ball, holding the Braves to six hits
a while ago and letting the Cardinals
down with only three not long after.
It 10 apparent that Oeschger Is
determined to use the best stuff he has
and TO work his hardest to keen q
place in fast company He should
make good record this season.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Many people who have been led to
believe that government regulation
would solve the difficulties Of supply,
demand and price, will find some
thing of interest in the announcement
that as a result of the potato produc-
ton campaign liz Great Britain. there
is now a record breaking crop that
surpasses demand.
The government guaranteed price
OF $50 per ton. and the supply Is so
great that prices must be made far
below that figure in order 10 induce
people TO buy the potatoes. In addl-
ton TO a low price. campaign Of edu-
cation to encourage people to con-
sumo more tubers is to be undertaken.
And it will have to be very effective
campaign. for the Glasgow Herald
says that in that district the surplus
Of potatoes will be ten times the
normal demand.
There Is an abnormal crop Of pota-
toes in this country, induced by the
same sort Of a campaign that pro-
duced results in Great Britain, and it
now remains to be seen whether the
law Of supply and demand will work
here like it does abroad There Is
no reason Why it shouldn't.

also made grants IN aid for the sup

The main work Of the Board. how

another at Shanghai, which shall be
Of the same grade and character as
the better medical schools Of the

activities as this the Foundation Is
engaged in that will do more to bring

mines are struggling to get snare OF
the labor supply.
The point has been reached ~here
It is a serious question whether any
further construction work should De
done unless directly required by the
war emergency. Where is the use in
enlarging capacity when the present
capacitv of the industries cannot BE-
manned? 1t may seem TO an lndi-
yidual that he can enlarge his husl'
ness proftably, but II he can only
operate the new capacity by hiring
labor away from other equally Import
ant work there is no gain. and the
entire level Of costs is being con-
stantly raised by this process. II Is
reported that the government In some
instances has taken steps to prevent
its contractors from hiring labor away
from each other. where all were work
ing on a cost plus percentage basis,
but something like that competition
is occurring all around the industries
A movement TO check it would proba'
bly, be resented by the wage-earners,
and like all price-hxing Is open TO
serious objections.
The real remedy all around Is tndi-
Gated by the high wages and prices:
It Is for the public to curtail consump-
ton, in order that labor may be re-
leased for the war work.

THE UNCIVIL AUTOMOBILE

Wheeling is not the only city in the
country in which there Is loud COM
plant Of the defiance of automobile
drivers Of the commonest rights ana
safety Of the humble pedestrian. For
instance, the Ohio State Journal calls
attention to the reckless disregard OF
the walking public in Columbus. 1t
says: when the traffic cop turns 10
Co on the sign, many autoists think
it confers the right to them 10 run
over anybody on the crossing. This
seems too outrageous TO be true. but
1t IS. as anyone can see If he stands
at a crossing for a minute or two. One
would think that the chauffeur would
lower his speed almost to the motion
less point at crossing. But watch
him, and note that as soon as Go APP
pears, he dashes forward like streaked
lightning and makes the poor pedes'
trians jump for their lives"
The generality Of owners and drivers
of automobiles in this city are very
considerate and careful. but we have
seen some arrogant assumptions,
which have declared in action as
much as il in spoken words, that the
poor plebeian pedestrian is absolutely
not to be thought Of when the unin-
terrupted passage Of the car these
snobbish persons were riding in was
concerned. They are not satisfied with
their street rights and privileges. but
they must insist in overriding the
crossing rights of those on fooH. The
police would do we'll to look after
these impertinent assumptions. as we'll
as the quick and reckless turns some
make from cross streets onto the main
thoroughfares. and from the main
thoroughfares onto cross streets.
There is no special autocracy OF aris-
tocracy connected with the ownership
of an automo bile, however much some
weak-minded persons may imagine
there Is.

THE LABOR SITUATION

p The disquieting situation that pre-
!. walls In the labor world is not a very
encouraging feature Of the future. It
Is not surprising with the present high
prices prevalent on all sides wage
earners should claim more pay, but
the irritating thing is that higher
wages mean still higher prices, and on
account Of these conditions we are
very much in the prcdicament Of
travelling in a circle. One competent
authority points out that the explain.
alton is found In the fact that the
country is trying to do more work
than there is labor to do 1t with A
. vast amount Of work Is being done
under rush conditions for the govern.
ment. and the contractors have offered
wages that would bring labor out OF
the regular industries. The influence
Of this upon the labor situation has
been widespread. Numerous shipyards
are under construction. steel works
and munition plants are crowded with
orders and hundreds of newt coal
