US. WANTS BILLION
 DU. WHEAT IN 1918
Government Proposes to Take a Hand in the Planting of Definite Areas-ls Purely a War
 Measure.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Foreseeing that demands for wheat may ex- ceed the supply next year the gov ernment today announced a war agriculture program calling for the production of more than one billion bushels of wheat and crop of rye in excess of S300O,00o bushels next year
 This vast wheat production need ed in any case, will be absolutely essential the government experts believe. to prevent a serious short age of breadstuns next summon. should the growing corn crop, now behind the season, be much dam aged by early frosts
 It IS the first time in history the government had taken a hand in di- fecting the planting of definite areas to crops. The program, adopted purely as a war measure, represents the best thought of the department of agriculture and of state agrioul- tural officials and state councils of defense.
 Planting of 47,337,O00 acres to winter wheat this autumn, an in crease of IS per cent over last year and more than two million acres more than ever planted to that crop before, IS a requirement. of the pro gram Each state is asked to plant as large an acreage in wheat and rye as can be sown without upset ting farm practice.
 Other Grain, Too. Increase of almost a million acres in the rye acreage is called for with total of 5,i3i ,000 acres. The experts drafting the program foresee possible shortage of fer tilizer but say there will be no gen. eral shortage of seed or farm ma chinery and that transportation fa- cilities will be ample. A fair price for wheat will be established under the food legislation.
 The increased winter wheat acre. age should produce 672,000,000 bushels on the basis of ten year average yields. With conditions similar to those of the record winter wheat year of 1914 the acreage should produce 8SG,000,000 bushels. A spring wheat crop of the ten-year average would be 25l ,o90,00o bush els and with conditions equal to that of the record spring wheat year, 1915, it would reach 35000O,000 bush els if an acreage equal Go this years lis planted

The Liberty Loan of 1917 was a
great success in whatever aspect it
S considered. The Government
called for two billion dollars and
over three billion dollars was sub
scribed for by more than four mill
ion people. This large subscription
and this great number Of subscrib-
ers we're obtained from a Nation
that as a people were not accustom-
ed to purchasing Government bonds.
The spirit with which vast numbers
of citizens and organizations worked
made the loan not merely a sue
cess but a triumph. A second loan
is contemplated within the next few
months. The same things that made
the initial loan a success will operate
to make the new me equally sue

Interstate League

Saltwater and N e Richmond
have cinched their respective Pc
sitions in, the race for the half season
pennant in the Interstate league.
Last Sunday Keinholtz had Gained
down from the effects of being
mentioned as a possible member of
the Minneapolis A. A. pitching staff
and cut off the Shermans 4 to /,
giving his team undisputed right to
the pennant for the first series with
8 wins and but one defeat.
New Richmond is equally certain
Of her position, having undisputed
right to the cellar championship
through virtue Of 8 defeats and one
victory. Arriving at Ellsworth Sun
day with four or five of his "regU-
lars" Manager Higgins picked up
the remainder of his nine from out
Of the audience and an old fashion
ed game of scrub was dished up to
the fans. The tall grass and a high
wind kept the ball sufficiently with
in reach to hold the Ellsworth score
down to 9, while New Richmond's
outfit delayed the game only long
enough to give the umpire oppor
tunity to call three out. A couple
more farce stunts like that and the
organization w II be dubbed the
Woolworth league by the fans.
Hudson and The Cars engaged in
a slugging bee, the Boosters coming
out on top II to Z. The opening
round proved disastrous for The
Cars, Hudson getting SIX hits off
Holmgren and scoring a like number
of runs. The Cars fought hard to
even it up, touching up Bertsch for
13 safe bingles and scoring z runs.
Next Sundays games are the last
of the seasons first half schedule,
and on the following Sunday they
will all start again with a clean slate
for the finale series. The Shermans
play at South ST. Paul; Ellsworth at
Saltwater, and New Richmond at
Hudson. The Cars and the Sher-
mans are battling for second place;
the losers will be tied for third if
Ellsworth or Hudson, should either
or both win next Sunday.

Our citizens should see that all the
burdocks and other noxious weeds
growing in the streets, highways
and vacant lots, are cut down and
destroyed. The proper way to thor
oughly eradicate them is for every
citizen to kill those growing upon
his own premises. We have been
informed that to sever the stalk
next to the ground and apply to the
root a spoonful Of common salt is
sure death to the weed.

ectric Rail and Light Company has
reduced til e amount of sickness
among employees by one half. Both
employer and employee apparently
consider the Investment we'll worth
while from a purely dollars and
cents point of view.
After making great gains in the
health of the employees themselves,
the company found it 10 be a good
business to extend the service to
the families of the employees as
we'll. It was determined that no
man was as good at his work as he
ought to be If his mind was dis
turbed by thoughts OF a sick wife
or child at home. In the instance
of the train employees, it is beliey'
ed that the company will save itself,
its passengers, and the public gen.
orally, many accidents which might
be very costly in dollars and liyes.
That experience offers a great
lesson to public officials and the
people generally in the war predica'
ment in which we now find oursel.
YES. President Wilson, Governor
Phillip, State and Local Defense
Councils are urging that our sue
cess in war depends is much upon
our productiveness in various forms
of manufacturing and agricultural
industries as in the strength and
effectiveness of our fighting men.
Obviously, the health of workers
on farms and in villages and cities
is a most important factor in de-
termining what the productiveness
of the country will be. Likewise,
in the matter Of economics, if the
amount of sickness could be reduc'
ed by one half an enormous sum Of
money would be directly saved.
Every community, every family.
and every individual a do a great
deal to reduce illness y W
means, first by building up health
and resistance; second, by prevent
ing diseas eand curing it as rapidly
as possible. 1t is a patriotic duty
now to avoid abuses which invite
sickness, to eat and exercise prop
erly, and secure proper rest. TIL
secret of preventing and rapid,
curing disease is just as simple
In general, it consists in discover
ing little ills early and removing
them before they become big.
That has been the method of tn
electric company. 1t is a metho'
that can be equally we'll employs

CIVILIZATION"

The management of Princess Thea
tre announces the acquisition of Thos.
IL. Ince's million dollar motion picture
spectacle, Civilization" as the at
traction for Wednesday, June 9th.
Civilization" is acknowledged the
last word in stupendous photo-dramatic
production. When originally present.
ed at the Criterion Theatre, New York
City, it attracted alike. the attention
of every dramatic reviewer, the clergy,
educators. and the great theatre-going
public of the Metropolis. Many col
Iumns were devoted to it in the public
press, while the theme of the story
served as basis for many pulpit
discourse.
OF course, it is not to be denied that
"Civilization" was conceived in the
main for aiding In the way of argu-
ment for the termination of war. such
as is now raging practically the world
over, and it must be acknowledged that
it has presented a strong argu-
ment indeed. However the fact is
brought forth as versed by President
Wilson, that the only way to terminate
war is war upon war" And it is
this salient point that is brought forth
in no unmistakable colors. But so
great and so massive is the all-impell-
ing theme of this great idea, that to
appreciate the beauties and to under
stand the message of Civilization
one has to see it personally, for truly
1t is personal message to every
thinking person.

very happy to have such man to give
the annual address. Dr. Crooks has
been in Alma but short time, and
wherever he goes he makes numerous
friends. The present year has been
the best in the history of the Presby-
terian college, although some twenty
men have given up their studies to
take up work in various branches of
service for their country. Quite a lot
OF praise is due to DR.. Crooks for this
splendid progress which Alma is max
ing. 1t will be a great pleasure and
opportunity for all of the citizens to
come out and hear him June 14th. He
will also be glad to confer with any
persons, boys or girls, for Alma is Co

interested in getting college educa.
