San Francisco.-The federal reserve
bank of San Francisco, in its bulle-
tin Feb. 4, on general business condi-
tons for the 18th federal reserve dis
trict, says, in part:
"The following are final estimates
of grain production in the seven
states of this district, in bushels:
1917. 1916.
Wheat ............. 7O,S99,OOO S7,5OS,O0
Oats .................... 43,O37, 900 $3.50, 900
Barley ............ 57,664,000 55,770,000
"Of these totals, Washington, Idaho
and Oregon produced approximately
80 per cent of the wheat, divided,
Washington about 40 per cent, Idaho
and Oregon each about 20 per cent;
the same three states, about so per
cent of the oats, in nearly equal pro
portions, and California about two
thirds of the barley.

THE FATE OF THE FARM

Of all the deep questions
involved in the conflict now
raging, the question Of most
vital interest to the people of
the entire world is What of
the American Farms this year"
Possibly, too, no other fact
assumes such positive form as
that the farms and farmers of
America must win the war if
is is to be won Ca question that
can admit of no discussion.
But farms cannot be operat-
ed without man power. And
man power is the one thing
American farms lack.
Then what is the answer?
Man power must be sup
piled.
Easy enough to assert but
difficult to accomplish. For
years now the farms of this
country have been depleted
of the lusty young blood that
should have stayed to enrich
them. The army has added

the cap sheaf by taking hun
dreds of thousands more.
1t is plain to a blind man
that the places of these young
men must be filled if our farms
are to be operated at their full
capacity this year. But there
are no available sources of
supply.
We are told by Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson that the
country is expected to produce
an even greater crop of all
staples this year than was pro-
duced last year. The demand,
with the fact that the remand
er of the army draft will be
called in the spring, is liable
to render the situation acute.
We confess our utter inabil-
ity to see how the farms of the
country are to be run success
fully without the aid of those
bred to the farm.
There are no more patriotic
class of people in this country

Something to Worry About.

AS if we haven't already enough to
keep our minds busy, with war and the
high cost of living! And our friends,
the learned astronomers, who study
the heavens just as carefully as the
average fellow does the innermost re-
cesses Of his pocketbook day before
pay, are intent upon adding to our load
of worry burdens. They-some Of
them-believe the sun is going to ex-
plode. One of them, writing in Popu-
lar Astronomy, points to the fact that
our sun is of advanced age, and pre-
diets it's finish as the leading figure
in any solar system. He finds that our
sun has contracted 100000 miles
from each side, thus giving its hot CEN
ter 1S6,O0000O miles less of room. So
you see the suns center is rather
crowded for space. Something like

visiting relatives begin their summer
vacation drives.-Syracuse Journal.

URGED HIGH TITLE
Many Would Have Had Washing
ton Addressed as Monarch.
Interesting Just Now to Recall How
Fond of Hiuh-Sounding AppeIIa-
tions Were the Founders or
This Great Republic.

! In view of the widespread approval
of the Chamberlain bill, making il pos
/ sible for our soldiers to wear medals
conferred by the French, 1t is interest
ing to be reminded that, although the
Constitution forbade all those in the
/ service of the United States to accept
titles or decorations from foreign
rulers, strong party in our first SEN
ate wished to bestow almost royal title
upon government officials.
A serious debate arose over the
manner in which Washington should
/ be addressed, and on April %, 1879.
a committee was appointed to consider
the matter. Among the titles urged
were "His Highness, the President of
the United States of America and Pro
tector of the Rights of the Same" "His
Elective Highness," ETC., and a cano-.
pied throne was to be erected for his
use in the senate. MmberS of that body
were to be "Your Highness of the
Senate" the sergeant at arms was to
be rechristened the "Usher of the
~ACNSA ANOhJ anu plCSChldIINOS 4OuI
Highness of the Lower House"
John Adams, we are told in the Jour-
nal of William Maclay, led the So
called "COurt party" which wished to
borrow the forms of the British mon
archy for our infant government. His
most jealous supporter was Richard
Henry Lee Of Virginia. Maclay and
Robert Morris were the first senators
from Pennsylvania.
The matter rested until after the
formalities of Washington's inaugural
ton were settled. Under the first plan
the clergy could attend only as spec
tatOrs, but this was finally overruIed
on a strong protest from the ministers
of New York. An interesting sidelight
on the times is given by John Randolph
of Virginia, who as a boy witnessed
the Inauguration of Adams as vice
president.
The controversy over the titles came
to a head on May 1 when the clerk of
the senate began to read the minutes.
''HiS Most Gracious Speech" he said,
referring to Washington's inaugural
address. Blank surprise showed in the
eyes Of many of the senators. Jeffer-
son, the great champion of democracy,
was absent in Europe. Maclay rose to
his feet.
'The words prefxed to the presi-
dents speech are the same that are
usually placed before the speech of his
Britannia majesty" he said. "I know
they will give Offense. I consider them
improper. I therefore, move that they
be struck out and that it stand sim
ply address or speech, as may be adj
judged most SUITABLE
The report of the committee on titles
was rejected May IA by vote of 10 to
s, but in half-hearted way. The rec
ord showed that 'for the present" the
subject would be dropped, but the
wording clearly indicated that titles
were favored.

Flowers are perhaps the most effec-
