The United States consul at
Bergen, Norway, in a report TO the
state department, says:
The expenses of Norwegian baker
les for -four, wages, and fuel are now
averaging about four times what they
were before the outbreak OF the war.
Under existing circumstances the
price of bread may be expected to
reach 10 or IL cents a pound.
A sack of rye -four costs. today
about SIC which before the war cost
81 30; wheat -four costs $40 80 u
$2l.45 per sack as compared with
So. 81 to 5. 80 before the war. Coal,
which the largest bakeries nse for
fuel for baking, was 81 per ton, but
is now $50. The wages Of bakers
before the war were about IS per
week of SO hours and DOW are about
$,2 per week of 81 hours.
The retail price of rye bread in
Bergen on the 18th of December, 1914
was 3S cents pound. One year
later it cost 2 cents pound, and on
December Is, 1916, the price was 6
cents, 1t now is sold at 7.3 cents a
pound. Wheat bread was sold in
May at e.87 cents pound.

"That Which Abideth"
[The Ynnth,s ComnanIonl

In times OF world horror,
when all mankind is afflicted,
especially in times Of
national crisis, when every
day and every hour are max
ing history and casual Incl
dents may turn the whole
course of the future, 1t seems
as if life ought to be serious,
not to say solemn;a if merry
making and rejoicing, even
diversions in themselves harm
less, were inappropriate. 1t
seems as if men and women
should be grave, even sad
not gay, light and trivial.
Nevertheless, the entire
course of history proves the
contrary. When nations are
on the verge of ruin, they are
apt to seek amusement in
trihes and frivolous dissipa-
ton. When men are threat
.ened with appalling calamity,
Instead of giving themselves
up to distress and despair,
they often turn to eXtrava-
gance, to folly, even to vice.
One of the striking facts
about great visitations of the
plague in old days is that
people with death at their
doors flung themselves madly
into feast and reveiry and
dance and song.
Such extremes point to ar
indisputable truth of human
nature. Men cannot keeI
their souls always on the rack,
nor is it desirable that they
should. A serene and cheer
full spirit performs I'll duties
better. Stern tasks are more
easily accomplished if the
heart is allowed and even en-
couraged to turn from then
occasionally to Indifferent anc
even trivial pleasures.
But there are better thing
to feed our souls with thar
what is indifferent and trivial
and it is wholly worth while
to keep those things before
us when the fierce tumult o
immediate misery threatens
to shatter all delight and al
hope. Foolish extravaganza
and riotous distraction SHOULD
be avoided, but we SHOULD
resort with double enthusiasm
to the pure and quiet consola
ton of books and thought, o
art and music, of sweet anc
gracious friendship anC
society.
S Above all there is on
source of diversion and de
light that never fails, tina
costs nothing, that leaves n'
WEAKNESS and no satiety-th'
beauty of the natural world
Whatever else fails, the blu
sky, the clouds, the stars, tht
flowers will not fail us. The,

CANDIDATE FOR DELEGATE AZ LARGE FROM SIXTH CONGRESS
 SIGNAL DISTRICT.

I am deeply grateful to my many friends throughout this congressional district who have personally and by petition, urged me to allow my name to go before the voters at the Demo- cratic Primary on Arnl 14th next, as delegate at large from the Sixth Congressional District to the Consti- tutional Convention.
 The writing of this Constitution for the people of the state will be 6 mans job, and should have the learn ing, the patriotism and the wisdom If the brainiest men of the state to do it.
 It will be a great lonor to be member of this Convention, and feel that I should not refuse your call to me, and my name will be on the bal lot, and if the democratic voters of this Congressional District want me to serve them, they can say so at the primary election on April IA, 1917, and whatever ability have will be at their service.
 I am not stockholdsr of any coz operation, and l am rot connected with any corporation in any way. JOHN M. ELLIOTT.

 I was not seeker for the place and in the absence of your petition should not, of my own motion, havt aspired to become a member of th< convention; yet, at the same time, l believe it to be an honor which any citizen might we'll afford to covet, notwithstanding the personal sacri. flee involved.
 In obedience to your request and assuring you of my desire to render any service to my state and county of which my fellow citizens may think me capable, I shall have my name placed OF the ballot in the primary ordered by the Democratic party, to which I claim allegiance: and if should be selected as one of the nomi- nees from Jefferson county i shall comply with the requirements of the law prescribed for candidates in the general election.
 The confidence you manifest in me by your petition calls from my heart the deepest sentiments of gratitude and appreciation.
 Yours respectfully,

The individual who supplies the food to maintain the army and civil population of nation at war is rendering as great a service as the one who works in the trenches of the battlefield, though he may not incur the same hazards or perform as sRee tacular achievements. It was the great Napoleon who said , that "Any army travels on its belly. And this is as true today as it was then.
 Upon the farmers of this country will rest the responsibility for the outcome of the war with Germany, if we actually participate in the world conflict for any length of time. And by Farmers" we do not mean only those now engaged in agricultural pursuits but include all who can an1 should grow something to eat, even if no more than for their own needs.
 Every backyard garden will re- lieve the demand on the inadequate food supply.
 On the professional farmer we must look for the food and feed to suppl 7 the army and that part of the civil population unable to produce its own food.
 Leaders of Jefferson county have undertaken to bring the full import of the critical situation home to each farmer in this county, to the end that at least sufficient food and feed crops to supply the 52,00O people here will be produced. To devote all land, time and attention to cotton this year will be to court disaster.
 A meeting to organize the fool supply plans will be held at tn , chamber of commerce this morning at 10:30 o'clock, on the call of County Judge L. E. Cheek. Not only farmers should attend, but bankers, supply men, plantation owners, and all others who are patriotic and sensible enough to appreciate the problem should be there, and lend their ad : vice, aid and encouragement.
 One problem that Jefferson an other cotton counties must solve is the financing of the tenant farmer. There must be some plan devised whereby the tenant will not be com pelled, under orders of his landlord or supply man, to grow cotton at the cost of food crops.
 It is not now question of profit, % much as question of whether we shall eat.

BAD YEAR FOR WHEAT.

It's bad year for nearly every. thing, it seems; and worst of all fo, the breadbaskets Of the United States and great part of Europe the winter wheat cron is definitel failure.
 We are to harvest 50,000OOo fewe, bushels of winter wheat than las; year, it is officially reported by the department of agriculture, which means 240,OO0,00O bushels less than in 1915.
 Great Britain is depending upon Us to feed it's population this year; and We will do it. But at the same time it's going to be hard task. There is strong probability that wheat may sell at $25O a bushel in tn x country-perhaps in the neighEorhoo I of 8.
 On the other hand, it is probable that before these trem ,ndously hlgn prices occur, the nati. will be un der the jurisdiction of food dict T. tor, who will dictate prices. In time of war nobody can we'll object to an1 methods taken by the government to win the war; and it is likely tha- even the farmers, strong as they are at the polls, will not voice disa D. proval in the name of patriotism.
