/ he Greatest Service
Farmers Can Render.

Mr. Harding, of the Reserve Board, speaks ad-
visedy when he says that the greatest service the
farmers render the nation, whether its lot is
to be peace war, is Ito from the soil during
1917 as great abundance possible of crops OF
all kinds" Financially, Mr. Harding says, the
United States is prepared for any contingency that
is likely to arise; it's industrial resources can
be modified with far greater efficiency and speed
than would have been possible year or two ago
There is doubt that men enough for the greatest
army the New World ever would answer call
for volunteers These matters, immeasurably i'm
portant they are, would adjust themselves rather
simply. But the question OF ample food supplies
without which all other measures of preparedness
would be futile or surely handicapped, is more
probematical.
Authorities estimate that before another harvest
is gathered the country will be almost bare OF
grain. The 1916 wheat crop was distressingly
short in view Of world conditions; and the heavy
foreign demand together with domestic needs, is
fast exhausting the surplus from the bounteous
crops of the two preceding years. The same tnlng
is proportonally true of other cereals and of food
stuffs generally. For two years, there has been a
a worldwide shortage of meat and conditions In
this respect have been made than ever critical
by the war The belligerents have drawn heavily
upon their live stock reserves, in some countries to
the point of exhaustion, and have drained most of
the neutral lands Europe of all the food animals
that we're purchasable 1t has been many years
since the United States produced enough meat for
it's own needs. Yet, it is is now shipping great
quantities to Europe In these circumstances, 1t is
not to be wondered that food prices are high
Abundant crops this year will relieve, to de-
gree at least the oppressvey high cost of living,
and thus assure a better-balanced prosperity They
will bring the planters royal rewards, for :here is
no likelihood-no possibility, one may say-ot
profitable figure.
Abundant crops moreover, will fortify the nation
for any emergency it may face, any task it, may be
called upon to perform This is indeed the greatest
service the farmers can render their country; and
it is the wisest course they can pursue for them
selves

TARANTULA FOUND
IN BUNCH OF BANANAS IN A
LOCAL STORE-NOT A
CENTIPEDE.

Yesterday afternoon as Phillip
Thompson was cutting an order of
bananas from a bunch hanging in
the Earle Kelley grocery store, he
saw a tarantula quickly shift from
close proximity to his hand TO a
safer and mor remote ecess among
the fruit. A large globular jar was
brought. and. with a stick he was
d|iSlodged and dropped into the open
mouth of the jar. The giant insect
has been on exhibition in the window
of the store since.
This dread spider of the south is
about an inch in length of body. with
four legs extending from each side.
The skin is black and covered Owe
both limbs and body with fine. thick,
brown hair. He is a very unloyable
object.
The tarantula proper of southern
Europe is extremely poisonous. The
variety found in the southern part of
the United States is not considered 50
poisonous. but is much dreaded and
feared. The bite of the European va
riety was once considered TO be the
cause Of a peculiar sickness. called
