1T cannot be repeated too often that
the world needs every ounce of food
it can produce this year, and that the
growers of that food are sure Of good
prices. When men now of middle age
were casting their first ballot, dollar
wheat was the farmers ideal of pros
perity. Today, we have two-dollar
wheat, with other grains and meats
and vegetables in proportion; and indi-
cations that any shift froTl these
prices is as likely to be up as down.
Every acre must work. The farmer
who increases his crops is performing
a national service as well as assuring
prosperity for himself. There cannot
be too much, and unless united and
consistent effort is made, there will
not be enough. - Chicago Journal.

Of agriculture, the plans so urgently
requested by those at the head of
the departments of resources. The
recent reports by the Government
show great falling off in the amount
of grain that may be expected from the
crop as of recent date, being only
little over go per cent, 10 per cent
less than the average. Every patriotic
American will bend all his effort
towards increasing this. He may not

Hioh Pews.

During the reign Of William and
Mary in England worthy bishop COM
planned to the latter that the ladies of
the court were wont to fix their eyes
on their neighbors rather than on him
during his discourses. 1t apparently
never occurred to the divine that the
fault might lie in the sermons them
selves. By consent Of the queen high
pews were introduced to prevent wan
dering eyes. "As for the young ladies
for whose spiritual welfare they were
DEVISED" says writer, their indfg-
nation was only surpassed by the rage
of their admirers" From that time
high pews were commonly placed In
churches.-London Opinion.

Supreme Court Now to Decide CiviI
War Cotton Picking Claims.
The United States supreme court has
been asked to decide whether the fed
eral government shall pay $68, 0O0,O
to former slaves and their heirs for cot
ton picked in slavery times. Their
claims are presented in an appeal by
II. N. johnson Of Musk0gee, Okla, and
other former slaves and their heirs and
"all others similarly situated"
The suit is directed against Secre-
tary McAdoo as custodian Of the gov
eminent funds and recites that the
slaves were held in involuntary servi-
tude and forced to gather the southern
states crops. They received no return
for their labor, while the government
collected the $6S,OOO,OOO in taxes on
raw cotton. Accounting for the labor
performed and q pro rata distribution
of the money among those entitled to
pay for the labor are asked. The Dis
trict Of Columbia courts dismissed the
suit.

AEON Beach Bathing Now
q Municipal Enterprise

Avon-by-the-Sea Y. j., June o
Bathing at Avon Beach TINS summer
will become a borough controlled enter
prise. according TO a decision reached
during the last week by the Avon Coun-
Gil. Municipal ownership OF the swim
ming and bathing plant Of the Avon
Beach Company has become a DEFINITE
prospect upon the acceptance OF an a
praising boards report. IL IS IlkeIy
that Collector Leroy Sotield, who has
managed the plant for the beach com
pany for several years, will be MADE
manager for the borough. With the m
creased patronage of each season the
borough has seen the ACCESSIBILITY OF
adopting the more satisfactory system
in vogue at other nearby resorts, espe-
ciallv at Asbury Park. whore the city
provides the natatorium service for It's
summer guests.
II was further decided TO investigate
the possibilities of constructing tun-
mel under Ocean Avenue from the bath
houses to the seashore for the use OF
bathers between the two points. An
ordinance prohibiting bathers passing
through the streets in bathing suits has
been rendered ineffective in the past
because of the exception made at Ocean
Avenue, and il is the hope of the coun-
ell 10 pass an effective ordinance oy
eliminating this exception. II found
practicable, the tunnel will be built OF
concrete blocks, and work Will be
started at once. so that early summer
guests will find everything ready for
their complete enjoyment upon their
arrival.
