cuSSeC point Is our low averages In
America We do not average thirty
bushels to the acre as Germany and
France do; but Germany and France
average those high averages from the in
tensive cultivation of small areas by cheap
labor.
We are machine producers. We aver
age lower from 20 to IA bushels per acre,
but we aggregate higher. We produce
the most wheat per man power Of any
country in the world. France and Ger
many produce the most per acre and the
least per man power.
As long as our aggregate feeds the
most humans, 1 don't purpose joining the
howl of woe over our low averages. Bet
ter low averages and many acres and
high aggregates than high averages and
few acres and low aggregates. We fill
the ships and the hungry stomachs and
that's what wheat is for, more than rec
ords. In fact, record wheat plots are like
the record COW. They cost more to pro-
duce than they return in cash.
Grain can only be sent to Europe as
the tonnage is free to carry it and as the
buyers are free to take it. Grain bought
on an open market and conveyed to Spain
in ships independent of Government con-
troll could be stored where it could be
fed out to a hungry world at exorbitant
prices. This the Government storage

There is more romance in the wheat
crop than the gamblers chance of wealth
by one stroke of fortune. There is
romance in the history of each species
of wheat.
Sterling Seed Had by Chance.
Red Fife, the staple Of the great spring
wheat belt to-day, sprang from chance
shipment of few pounds from Scotland
to a poor backwoods farmer in Ontario.
1t had come originally from Russia via
Hamburg dealers.
The legend runs that it came so very
late in the old ocean sailing packets that
it could not be planted in time. 1t came
as a fall wheat. Whether the farmer
planted it too late in the fall or too late
in the spring, or whether his patch Of
clearing in the midst of a shadowy forest
did not let enough sunlight in, only two
or three heads came through ripe that
season; but they had such wonderful
full round berry that the eager farmer
and his wife treasured them up like grains
of gold.
One can see the poor ragged couple
with deep disappointment in their eyes
turning over the precious grains in the
palms of their hands; but could any
prophet foresee or foretell that those pre-
cious grains would be the foundation for
the wheat that was TO provide three-quar-
tiers of the crop to feed a starving world
and defeat Germany
Talk of romance! Can any romance
beat thatf For the farmer planted this
fall wheat as a spring wheat, and reaped
enough to give him seed for his whole
plot the third year; and from the founda-
ton of this fall wheat changed into a
spring wheat developed such famous
varieties as Hayes Minnesota and
Saunders Marquis.
Similar cases are on record of taking
a soft fall wheat from Kansas or Cali
fornia, planting it on Peace River in the
North and changing it to hard spring
wheat in a few seasons 1t hardly needs
telling that it is the alchemy of the long

and so far as we know not one of our students has the Spanish Influenza. We are urged by the Civil Service Commits sion and the Ordnance Department of the United States Army to do every thing we possibly can to prepare more young and middle aged people to fill positions in the Government Service as Bookkeepers, Stenographers and Typ ists. We are preparing everything to push instruction in Gregg Shorthand, Touch Typewriting, Bushes English, Bookkeeping. etc, just as rapioly as possible. New classes will be organ ized in all of these branches just as soon as the City Manager gives us per mission to begin. Our rooms are large with high ceilings, well ventilated and we'll lighted. The floor is dressed with Antiseptic Liquid Floor Wax and all of our desks are wiped every day with an Antiseptic Preparation. Our work is conducted the same as a large, well regulated bushes office and there is no more reason for our closing than any other large business office in the City of Phoenix.

Of general interest to club women throughout the country is the follow Ing information recently received. by Mrs. H. A. Guild, president of the Ari- zona Federation of Women's clubs:
 Portsmouth, N. H., Oct. 1, 1918. My Dear Madam President:
 great step forward has been taken in the life of the General Federation Of Women's clubs. National head quarters have been established in Washington, the result of the consoli- dation of the bureau of information anG the service office. After Novem Der first, the service which for four teen years has been under my direc- tion will be placed in better hands and l am confident that the new location will also be highly advantageous.
 This means that all applications for club assistance and information should be henceforth directed to the head quarters where the service formerly rendered by the bureau of information Will be given careful attention by the newly appointed director. This ser- vice of the bureau has been:
 Help in arranging club programs.
 Loan of material (books. magazine articles, and other printed matter) to assist in the preparation of addresses, club papers, etc.
 Plans for such civic and social ser- vice activities of clubs as are not ci- rectly in the province of any of the regular standing departments.
 General information on federation and club affairs.
 In addition to these and other ser vices previously attempted by the bureau, there will be many additional services rendered by our national headquarters which will be of inestim able value in this time of the worlds crisis, in that there will be furnished | to the clubwomen an easy and reliable avenue by which they may obtain ad-

OLDEST PRIEST
 STILL IS ACTIVE
{ (KanSas City Star.)

The oldest priest of the Catholic church in the world celebrated his ninety ninth birthday anniversady in March. He is the Rev. Father Damase Dandurand of St. Boniface, Manitoba, Canada Ordained in 1S41, when spe- cial permission was granted by the pope to induct him into the priesthood under the canonical age, he has served for more than 77 years.
 Father Dandurand's career has been a distinguished one. He took the vows of the Oblate order when it entered Canada in 1S42, and was the first Cana dian to become a member. He planned and supervised the construction of the Basilica at Ottawa, Ontario. which is one of the handsomest and most ad- nired church structures in the domin- ion. Notwithstanding his age and long service, he still is in the ranks of active priests and celebrates every morning at 6 o'clock throughout the year.

 The romance began on Christmas eve when the couple met at a Christ mas tree celebration at All Saints church in San Diego. After the meet ing the young folk were much together. Luke accompanying his sweetheart and her mother on motor tour of south ern California.

 The activities of Lieutenant Luke for the past few months are generally known, but it is not everyone who knows that the boy made an enviable record while still in training He en- listed in the aviation corps September, 1917, in Austin in the school of aero nautics and made such progress that in seven weeks he finished the course which usually takes nine weeks. While there he set the record for assem- bling Lewis Machine gun while he was blindfolded. From Texas he went to San Deigo, where he trained at North island. He showed such remarkable ability that he was the first in his class allowed to fly by himself and was all ways accounted a prize flyer. He sailed for France in March and completed his course there, graduating first in flying He was commissioned before he was 21 years old.
