Every citizen of our country now
appreciates fully that u present sup
ply of wheat is lower than ever before
in orr history. Under nresent war
conditions this IL a serious situation
because Of the very important place
wheat holds as a war food. 1t consti-
tutes about one-third of the food sup
ply of the modern soldier. The war
has made a demand for our wheat
such as we have never before known,
hut lust at this time when we need
vastly more wheat we have a supply
that is alarmingly less.
Many appeals have been made to
the American farmer in the recent
past to increase production in differ
ent lines, but the most urgent need at
present, from the farms, is a record
breaking wheat crop. A bountiful sup
ply of wheat is necessary to win this
war quickly. The farmers of this ma
ton are in the battle line when they
are in their wheat fields just as surely
as are our soldiers when they are in
the trenches in France.
1t has been said that the farmers
will be inclined to plant other crops
than wheat, because the present prices
of those other crops are higher thar
the present fixed price of wheat, and il
that condition continues it will be
more profitable if farmers will do this
because it is not at all certain that it
will be more profitable to raise other
crops.
There is no fixed price on flax, bar
lev or other cereals and big crops OF
those other grains might mean very
much lower prices, but no matter how
large the crop of wheat the price is
known now. There can be no losses
due to glutted markets or delayed
transportation. The only uncertain
conditions in connection with growing
wheat this year are conditions over
which man has no control and those
conditions will affect the growing OF
other crops the same as wheat. In
these uncertain war times it will be
much better to stand on a sure thing
than to take any speculative venture.
Even though it might not be as
profitable to raise wheat as to raise
other cereals, and although wheat may
be cheaper food for stock than is other
cereals at present, the farmer who

is costing the consumers of this coun.
try, including the farmers themselves,
more than a million dollars a day to
use other foods and save wheat but
wheat must be raised and wheat must
be saved, regardless of cost, because
wheat is now a war necessity. Farm
ers can do more to tighten this burden
than anyone else and with safety to
themselves. They can do it by raising
more wheat which will lessen the de-
mand for substitutes and thereby re-
duce the price of the substitutes.
But the possibility of the greatest
profit is not the greatest thing to con-
slider. The greatest need of our coun
try at present is wheat as it never
needed it before. The farmers of VAL
lev county can not do anything just
now that will serve their country bet
ter than to SOW wheat; they can not
do anything Just now that will better
assist to properly care for their boys
at the front than to sow wheat; they
| can not do anything just now that will
relieve the of our country
more than to sow wheat; they can not
do anything just now that will be
safer for themselves than to sow
wheat. The immediate battle cry of
the farmers who can grow spring

Mrs. Weisman is said to have In
duced the two children to go to the

legged that the medium had arranged a

Although the children and their

HIS QUALIFICATIONS FOR BAR
Philadelphia Man Allowed to Practice
Law Because He Could Make
Excellent Chicken Salad.

There has been a radical change in
the method of examining students for
admission to the bar in Philadelphia
from the practice of a generation or
two ago. Recently the state exaHin-
ers held an examination, and the stu
dents found that considerable knowl-
edge of both the theory and practice
of the law was essential.
This, in theory, might always have
been the case, but in practice the ex-
animation was less thorough in the old
days.
There is story of Edward d. In
graham, one of the leaders of the Phil
adelphia bar sixty years ago, who was
an examiner as well as noted wit.
Indeed, his capacity for jokes was al
most as great as his capacity as law
yer and as speaker.
In those days there were not
enough students to hold formal ex-
animation, and the appearance. man.

self had a great deal to do with pass
ing him for admission.
On one occasion a young man, the
son of wealthy Philadelphia and
known as good liver and more or less
a man about town, appeared before
the lawyer, who was acting as one of
the examiners.
Mr. Ingraham knew perfectly well
that the applicant had no intention of
practicing law. He merely desired to
acquire profession in graceful, easy
manner.
Consequently, Ingraham asked him
only one question.
"Mr. G.," he said, after the appli-
cant had been shivering In apprehen-
sion of the result, chow do you make
chicken salad?"
Not realizing the purport of the ques-
ton, Mr.. G. answered naturally and
with superior knowledge on the SUBJ
.ject.
Perfectly satisfactory" said Mr..
Ingraham, Il will sign your certificate
with great pleasure"
But one can not pass so easily In
these times, or every cook could be-

cied he smiled, but his brain was not
sufficiently brisk to be certain of any
thing.
His progress was more rapid after
that first glimpse and he realized that
world with women in 1t was good
place to get back to. His nurses hands
were slim and caressing and her hair
waved softly about her smooth brow.
Treadgold wondered if he would event
ually find himself in love with her.
He was, in fact, drifting in that d.
rection when, during dull afternoon
in the hospital, he heard the trailing
melancholy of voice. Instantly
Treadgold knew that it was the same
voice augmented in sweetness and tim
Der that had quickened his lethargic
pulse-far back in America. For
America seemed frightfully distant to
Treadgold after the smoke and fire OF
battle and the long lapse from COD
sciousneSs.
He looked eagerly at his nurse.
"Whose voice is that l hear?" he
asked her.
The nurse smiled at his excitement,
scented a romance and told him all
she knew.
"Her name is Ida McVicker, and
she is the niece of our staff surgeon.
She was pining away by inches, 1t
seems, in America because she couldn't
do anything when all her brave coun-
trymen were going off to fight"
"But how did she ever get over
here?" burst out Treadgold, ''from a
cottage with roses"
The nurse smiled again. "The or
ganizer of a concert party heard her
singing and thought her voice held
the appeal that our wounded boys
would appreciate and-here it is. She
sings every afternoon and evening and
any other time when her voice is need
ed. She's happy now-happy as a
lark. It's wonderful what doing lit
tie good to others does for oneself"
added the nurse.
Treadgold then made headlong,
steady dash right into the heart of a
world of feminity. He demanded to
see Ida McVicker then and there.
When she stood beside him and
looked with those wistful eyes straight
into his face deep, happy flush
mounted her cheeks and TreadgOld
knew that recognition was there. APP
parently she had not gazed unseeing-
ly nor unfeelingly at him when he had
daily passed her cottage gate.
''Little Sad Eyes," was what she
thought he said by way of greeting,
but she was never quite sure about it.
There was so much unexpected emo
ton expressed in the wonderful meet
ing that words didn't really count.
Treadgold had always known that
love would completely swamp him
when it came, and he told Ida so be-
fore many moons had passed over that
region of the world.
