Grain OF Little Value Without franc

at Home.

"Australia's food production this
year will average normal: IL is neither
unusually heavy nor light. but there
1s going to be considerable difficulty
in handling the crops, because there
are no facilities for transportation"
said Fl. w. Stephens, a merchant OF
Melbourne, who was visiting the Unit
ed States. 1.-The greatest need OF Aus
tralia today 10 transportation. Until
ship tonnage is provided 1t is almost
useless for the farmers to complete
their harvesting. as 1t requires only q
small percentage of the crops to sup
ply the domestic needs. Heretofore
great quantities of grain have been
shipped to England and it is still going
overseas, but in not sufficient quantity,
for England needs wheat now as never
before. But without ships 1t IL impos'
,sible for US to send our wheat
abroad.
1.-THE wheat crop Of Australia waf
damaged to some extent by mice, and
until the farmers learned how to com
bat this pest 1t threatened to become
a serious menace. The farmers usec
poison, water. gas and other means
and finally got rid Of them"

mitchell FOR MAYOR

New York Oct. 1.-Former state Sena-
tor william NJ Bennett today became
the Republican nominee for mayor of
New York by g. formal court order
issued after recount of the primary
ballots showed clearly that Mr. Ben
nett was the choice of the Republicans.
Counsel for Mayor Mitchell interposed
no objections to the court decree.
Before Ave thousand persons gath
cred in City Hall park at noon today
Mayor Mitchell announced his decision
to run independently for reelection.
Before presenting Mayor Mitchell,
r. H. Outerbridge, president or the
chamber of commerce, acting as mas
ter of ceremonies, introduced the tol-
lowing men who spoke in advocacy OF
Mr., Mitchels candidacy:
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, former
Governor Charles f. Hughes, Henry
Mergenthau, former ambassador TO
Turkey: George 3. MCGUIRE. vice
president of the state federation of
labor, and Oscar s. Strauss, the pub
lie service commission.
Colonel Roosevelt said it was wrong
to allow party loyalty to Interfere with
good government
THAT man serves his party best,
he declared, who makes that party
an instrument for serving the coun-
try well. Every man who backs Mr.
Mitchell by just so much is backing
his party organization.
II am for Mayor Mitchell because he
Is the foremost, mosS fearless, most
incorporating embodiment of the
American spirit. There is nothing
fifty-fifty about him"

CAPTIVATING KIRRsMITH
GIRLS AT kEITR's LYRIC

Whether they are sisters or not, the
"Kirksmith girls" deserve the popular
approval they receive for their enter
tanning offering at the Lyric. What
they lack In good looks they supply In
cleverness and the skillful manipula-
ments. They sing harmoniously to-
Eether, and what little dancing they
do is eommendable, but. unfortunately
and quite usual for vaudeville artists,
their vocal attainments are not up to
the standard when they sing alone. An
attractive setting gives finish to the
act.
The Kirksrith girls and the rest OF
the bill as given below, will be at the
Lyric until midnight Wednesday. The
lineup is about like this:
