permitted into the present organiza-

More Oatmeal.
rom the Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader.
Last year the wheat crop was largely
failure in the spring wheat states,
and the total yield for the United
States and Canada was small. But the
crop of oats was very good, running
well over the usual figures. Now 1t IL
probable that the yield of wheat will be
a little larger than the crop of 1916. but
it will still fall far below the average
of recent years. On the other hand.
there is fair chance that the crop of
oats will not only exceed last years
good harvest by about 100000 BUSH
els. but will also break all records for
the United States. if not for Canada.
These conditions point to more than
the usual adoption of Scotch diet. 1t
looks very much like the most general
eating of oatmeal and oaten cakes that
the country has ever known. Prices
will guide consumption in that direc-
ton. Economy will argue the wisdom
of eating more of the grain on which

Where Caste Thwarts Charity.

Ffom the National Geographic Magazine.
Occupation is still preserved among
the Indian natives by inheritance and
tradition. so that the diversion OF labor
to industrial pursuits has been an al
most impossible task confronting the
British government. The supply of agri-
cultural labor constantly outruns the de-
mand. thus keeping the wage scale ex-
t.enlely low. Caste also prevents people
from leaving crowded districts and
going to spar.ely inhabited regions, of
which there are many. In time of dis
tress the restrictions which caste throws
about rescue and relief work would be
esasperating if they were not so tragic
For example, in the terrible Orissa fam
inc thousands of Santals persisted in the
midst of ample supplies furnished by
the government, before it was discovered
that there is a peculiar tenet OF their
faith which forbids them to touch food
cooked by Brahmins 1t was also dis
covered that skilled weavers would not
go to the ordinary relief work camps for
fear that the hard labor would cause
them to lose the delicacy of touch which
they value so highly.

pitched one pretty fair game. but

Bender's Great Comeback.

Benders comeback is the most SEN
sational in base ball history. After the
chief was a dismal failure in the Fed
eral League the Phill.es took him on
last season, and. with the exception of
brief periods, he displayed little of his
former cunning. He was released out
tight last winter.
During the spring and early summer
Moran heard of Render's pitching feats
while twiriing semi-professional ball in
Philadelphia and New Haven. He was
pitching shutout after shutout and
striking en- out in droves. Pat made
him an offer to return to the fold
The result was n revelation Bender
began turning in victories every time
out. His most sensational stretch con-
sisted of four niae-inning games dur
ing which only one run was scored
upon him. One of the victories was a
one-hit game against Boston.
Gibson's comeback on the Giants was
another big event. 'Gibby" was re-
sarded as all in when the Pirates asked
for waivers on him last fall and the
Giants claimed him. Gibson thought he
had had enough of big league ball and
went to his home in Canada without
reporting to the Giants But last win
ter he thought it over again and asked
the Giants whether they still wanted
him. They told him to report at Mar
lin.
