 "If our relief ship does not fail us third time," the explorer writes, q should reach home about 'Septem- Der 15. 1917.
 Although I have had, or will have had four years in the Arctic. yet am not bit tired of it and have plan ned for further work
 "As you know. we failed to find Crockerland. I am Sorry for Peary, who was without doubt sincere in his belief that it lay some 120 miles due northwest of Cape Thomas Hub bard; we went 151 miles to make sure and then we were rewarded with 1 nothing but clear hOrizon."

THE BEAN CROP.

The nation should not overlook the fact that tremendous bean crop is coming. There has been so much spoken and written about the potato outlook that the we'll known and lowly bean has been in danger of be- ing overlooked entirely in the calcu- lations of the government crop esti- mators.
 Throughout the west, where beans are the creme de la creme of garden and truck crops, reports indicate that there will be plenti;ude of the yer satile spheres-you wall get them this fall and winter in any way of score of cookings, depending on the ability of youh cook or of the brand of canned beans you prefer.
 In these days the moaning about the worlds wheat crop" and the "seri- lous situation Of the worlds corn crop" etc, it is relief indeed to find that beans will be all-sufficient to keep every beanery in the old U. s. A. going to full capacity.

The political changes in Germany are attributed by many American ob- servers to pressure of hunger on the poorer classes, and the growing real ization that peace must be secured before the people can again be nour- ished.
 A quotation from the Berliner Tage- blatt would seem. however. signifi- cant of more than this. The Berlin paper says:
 "Must it, however, be repeated that the most explicit establishing of our conciliatory attitude is not sufficient to hasten peace? If peace within any reasonable time is desired, one must see to it that the German people are not considered by all other cultured lands as a people with neither influ- cnce no independence, and that the Herman government is not looked upon as an uncontl ollable power, planning and doing in secret what it desires"
 That editorial excerpt sounds like an echo from President Wilson's war message. Germany has apparently been impressed, far more than out ward indications would show, with the fact that America is at war. less with the German people than with the German militaristic autocracy; and that a democratic Germany, converted to the ways of peace, may well hope for terms which can never be granted to an over-dangerous oligarchy.
 It is previous, however, to hope for an early elimination of such feel ing in effective form. It looks as though the war lord had still long way to go before German discussion and agitation will brir g forth the sort of peace terms to which we can even listen.
