Tho Modest Modernist.
Grant showerman II the, UnpopuIar R,

Grant SnOWcTLQan IN the Unpopular Re-
view.
The modest modernist is always In mo-
ton. He Is the apostle of movement and
the apostle OF movements. He fits from
movement to movement. He is always
buzzing, slipping and darling away I'd
fresh flowers. He keeps the rest Of the
world in movement - In n~efghborhood
movements and national movements; IN
civic and patriotic movements; in theolog-
ical, pedagogical, sociological and Illogical
movements: in dletetic.. philanthropics
Every one Of them is in turn .athe5
most. vital, fhe most tar reaching. the
most comprehensive, and altogether the
most momeptous ever initiated In his
community
The modest. moderntst cay .iDo you
know z" and "Do you realize r. a great
makes reauent use Of the word 'cen.
my friends, that YOU and j. in this very
community and at this very hour, are
inaugurating a movement which contains
greater constructive possibilities for the
of civic and social betterTnent than
all other present and past m~overnen<s
c~ombined?- He says in parenthesis THAI
the speaks advisedly. He says It Is
strange no one ever thought of this be-
fore. He says all great things are simple.
The modest modernist Is laxative. There
are some who call him chantanquatiVe.

about getting credit for what she does.
She says she doesn't propose to keep
on doing things for the good Of her
neighbors ana the community with
out the honors attaching thereto she
cannot help what the church has to
say about it. She doesn't care much
for the time being whether it is quite
Christian like or not. If she does
something towards knocking down a

credit for it. Her foot is down nat

Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1917-08-31

AS appears from the table, France,
Italy, Russia and Belgium were self
supporting, while the United Kingdom
drew It's entire sugar supply from ex-
terror sources. The supply of the Unit
ed Kingdom came to the amount of
about 20 per cent from countries from
which it is now cut off by the war.
Ten per cent came from the East In
dies and 20 per cent from the United
States and the West Indies.
The prospective 1918 crop in France
has diminished to 100000 tons and
that Of Italy to $4,000 tons, and they
are therefore short $4,000 tons. The
displacement of United Kingdom sup
plies amounts to 1,435000 tons; and
therefore, In total, these three allied
countries must import about 100000
tons in order to maintain their normal
consumption. OF this, 100000 tons
must come from new sources.
The disturbance of shipping re-
duces the tonnage available and drives
the demand to large degree upon the

In order to provide normal consump-

Of 577000,000 bushels of wheat and
874000,000 bushels of other cereals
The prospective position Of our own
and the Canadian harvest is given in
table No. 2.
Our crops, especially our corn crop,
cannot yet be considered as certain,
but If all mature safely, North Amer
lea will have an apparent surplus of

The problem facing the American
people is not only one Of supplying
the immediate demand Of the allies, but
one which is more far-reaching in its
future significance. AS the war goes
on there will be constant lessenlng of

The high price of fodder and meat In
the United States during the past few
months induced by the pressing Euro
pean demand has set up dangerous cur
rents in this country, especially In
those regions dependent upon butter
and the sale of milk to municipalities
having made 1t more profitable to sell
the cattle for meat than to keep them
and produce dairy products. There

ping becomes further shortened by con-
tinued submarine destruction, less ton

given rise to reactions in many direc-
tons. The worlds supply of meat and

involved not only now, but for far into
the future.

HAY CROPS SHORT THIS YEAR.
!. Fargo, N. D., July 3.--Hay crops
in North Dakota this year, with the
exception of alfalfa, will be the
shortest in many seasons, according
to crop experts from the North Da-
kota Agricultural College who have
recently returned from a trip over
the state. According to Thomas
Cooper, director of the state expert
ment station here, alfalfa is showing
its superiority over all other hay
crops because It's roots go deep for
their moisture and thus was able to
withstand drought better than any
other crops Of its kind. In many
sections, Mr. Cooper asserts, alfalfa
Will make q good yield where other
