WINTER WHEAT CROP
 BIGGEST IN HISTORY

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The great est crop of winter wheat ever produc- ed in any country is in prospect for this years harvest. Today's forecast of production, estimated by the de- partment of agriculture, placed its size at almost 900,00O,00 bushels-in exact figures S99, ,915, 5,0OO-which would make this years harvest worth S2,- 94,000, GOO at the governments price guarantee of $226 a bushel.

THE GRAIN MARKETS

7. CHICAGO, May 9.-Bearish senti- ment, due largely to the government crop report, made the corn market to- day average lower. Prices closed un- settled at 37sc net decline to 1sc ad- vance, with July 1.63A to $1.631s and September $1.551srto $1.553s. Oats fin ished 17sc off tohssc gain, and provi- sions unchanged to 65c down.
 Weakness of corn did not include May delivery, which was governed by the scantiness of receipts and by keen demand in the sample market. On the other hand, July and september con- tracts were under heavy selling pres sure throughout the day not only as a result of the government crop re- port, but also in view of a sharp break in the hog market and because of no- tice that 100000 bushels of Canadian wheat would be imported by the Unit ed States instead of the 1,000,0 ,000 bushels announced three days ago.
 Oats merely reflected the changes in corn.
 Provisions were depressed with hogs and grain. Chances of smaller receipts of hogso next week, however, caused some reaction.

THOMPSON'S FINE RURAL PLAY HELD
 STAGE 30 YEARS
Remarkable Success Achieved by "The Old Homestead" Now
 Picturized

When Deuman Thompson wrote "The Old Homestead" 40 years ago, he little dreamed of the prodigious sue cess it would achieve. The famous play held the stage continuously for more than 30 years and more than 20,000,000 of Americans saw it at one time or another.
 This famous play has been plctur- ized by Paramount and it will be shown at the Lyric theater today It is an admirable photOplay and one that will live long in the memory of all who see it.
 "Ine Old Homestead" is a rich and therefore rare-combination of good old-fashioned rural comedy and the deepest pathos. Opening in the peaceful farm country far from the glare and blare of Broadway, the story takes the innocent son from this hap py abode and filings him into the maelstrom of New York's life. Here he falls victim to the lure of the new existence and nearly breaks the heart of his grieving family
 But his simple old father, putting all his trust and faith in the power of good over evil, goes to the city in search of his son, confident that he will be guided to him by a Higher Intelligence. The pathos and dramatic force of the scenes which follow are founded upon the most effective of all appeals-heart-inter
 Frank Losee, who is we'll known all over the United States for his mar velous character acting, plays Josh Whitcomb, the role made memorable by Denman Thompson. Others in the cast include Creighton Hale, Den man Moley,. Louise Huff and Mrs. Corbett. Adv.

STOCKS AND BONDS

NEW YORK, May 9.-Exceeding in activity any previous session of the year, today's stock market duplicated in it's chief characteristics the broad and highly speculative movements of the past few weeks, but selling for profits was more insistent, many gains being baterially shaded or altogether cancelled later.
 The most important development of the day, abandonment of the stabiliz- ing of steel prices, was somewhat ob- scured by the violent fluctuations in oils, shippings and other favorites which contributed more than their quota to the markets of the past two months.
 Fro mthe course of steel shares 1t was evident that financial and indus trial interests saw no ground for ap- prehension in any open or free market for fabricated products, some of those issues selling at the years highest quotations.
 United States Steel rose 15s to 101H, its maximum since the passage of the extra common dividend, but forfeited half its gain.
 Texas company again featured the oils at a further advance of 221a points to 292, Royal Dutch, Mexican Petroleum, Pan-American Petroleum, American Woolen, Montana Power, United Fruit and Atlantic Gulf were to g points higher at one time, but the latter closed unchanged Sales amount ed to 1,S00,000 shares
 Bonds, notably secondary rails and foreigns were strong with an easier tendency for Liberty issues. Total sales, par value, aggregated $12,40O,- 900. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

"The Chinese Puzzle"
vVIILKIE COLLINS'S third rule for
w telling a story, "make them

MI1LkIE cohhlNS'S third rule f'r
w telling a story, make them
watt" is pressed to the limit in The
Chinese Puzzle, by Marian Bower and
Leon NJ. Lion. At the outset of the tale
the reader learns Of the theft of a copy
of secr~t contract entered into between
a British capitalist and a Chinese envoy
with the British Government in agree
ment but standing apart from it In TIE
eyes of the diplomatic world) for loan
to China whereby she could begin to
form a navy. Although it is plain to any
reader who "stole" the document, the
authors afflict themselves with literary
blindness and wander on and on with de-
iberate intent, putting off the revelation
of the secret that is no secret until they
evidently decided their narrative was Ions
enough. Then, with traditional Victorian
objections to putting woman in the
wrong, they permit the old Chinese envoy
to pretend he was the guilty person.
The advertisement of the story on tie
Jacket of the book tells us this tale In
play form "has been the great success OF
the current London season." But whether
the play was made from the book or vice
versa we do not know. If made fror
the play, the style of the story has little
in common with the hack work of that
kind we know here. 1t is written with
charm of style and description, particu
larly of the home of the hero at Zoucle
de la Haye, that is admirable. The char
acters are well drawn, notably in tie caje
of the dubious Mrs. Horsham, mother OF
the heroine Naomi But the authors at
tempts to whitewash the character Of
Naomi are puerile. Chi Lung, the Chinese
envoy, knew what he was about when he
mistrusted Roger de la Hayes future hap
piness as the husband of Naomi. For
Naomi was the society parasite pure and
simple with all the evils of her type cen
tered in her outwardly lovely person.

D1RNED BRIDGES, by Bertrand W.

D1RNED BRIDGES, by Bertrand W.
II Sinclair, is another of his rather
vigorously written tales Of the Canadian
Northwest. This time but part of the
action occurs there, the scene shifting to
San Francisco and eventually to Van
couver. Wesley Thompson, a rather
idealistic missionary, is sent to Lone
Moose Creek to proselytize Cree In
dams for the Methodist Church. He
finds himself incapable of eoordinating
his spiritual outlook with the gaunt bat
tie for the necessities of life. He meets a
girl who tells him to "stand on his two
feet like man." and the result is that he
filings his religion away and buckles down
to hard toll. Burning his bridges behind
him, he crosses the Continental Divide with
a rival for the girls love. All manner of
work falls to his lot before he finally be-
comes a success as an automobile sales

"The Six Best Cellars"

" HE new booklet by Holworthy Hall
i and Hugh Kahler, with the clever
title, The Sir Best Cellars. is going to be
bought as gift in packages of SIX and
dozen. Instead Of sending case OF beer
or a few choice bottles of some rare
vintage next Christmas, send package
of The Sir Best Cellars, and it will travel
where the original package wouldn't.
Shouldn't wonder if it gave most as much
satisfaction. And enjoyment won't be
limited to consumers of wet goods, either.
The scene of the story is Oakmere,
typical suburb full of social distinction.
Instead of an inner ten Oakmere has
sacred six, couples who give dinners IN
regular succession and keep up appear
ances. The advent of prohibition IS
dreaded less because the dinners will have
to be dry than because the social stratlh-
cations may crumble and the matter OF
keeping up appearances may entail social
receiverships.
From the night when Mr.. Carpenter
boarded the train bringing $3S bottle OF
ne plus ultra to the day OF the second
discovery in his aunt's sub-est basement
something happens all the time. Usually
something funny, sometimes something
that will smite the reader with its basic
truthfulness to human nature, frequently
something unexpected. It's an hours reg
ular entertainment, this little book.

"Short Stories of
the New America"

THE book called Short Stories Of the
Il Nep America is edited by Mary A.
Laselle of the Newton, Mass, high schools.
She selected the contents.
There have been all sorts of collections
of short stories, hash Drowned, creamed,
an gratin. Miss Laselle's object is plain
enough, however, and no reproaches may
be heaped upon her for her spirit What
Miss Laselle thought was this: A new
America has risen, Ph@nix-hke, out OF
the flame of war. A vast and cleansing
spirit of sacrifice, idealism and unity has
become manifest. This truth is apparent
in contemporary letters and especially is
it so in the short story form. viii
gather ten stories and publish them in
single volume to illustrate this new ideal
ism.
Well, ten scattered tales cannot express
this new idealism and its myriad ramifca-
tons. They could but hint at it if the
selections were noble enough. Miss Laselle
seems to us to have failed in her choices.
There is but one story that leaps at tie
reader with that message that Miss
Laselle knows is apparent in our short
stories. Two others barely approach this
fneness.
The authors she includes are Dorothy
Garfield, Elsie Singmaster, Albert Pay
son Terhune, James Francis Dryer, Grace
Coolidge, Arthur Stanwood Pier, Mary
Brecht Pulver, Fisher Ames, Jr., Arthur
Guy Empey and Frederick Grin Bartlett.
By far the best story in the book Is The
Path of Glory, by Mary Breeht Pulver.
IF this story does not find place in the
indefatigable Edward Joseph O'Brien's
Forthcoming collection of best stories Of
the year we shall feel that Jehovah has
spoken in vain. Two more of Miss
Laselle's selections, A Little Kansas
Leauen, by Dorothy Garfield, and The
Wildcat, by Albert Payson Terhune, are
runners-up. There is no reason at all for
Arthur Guy Empey's somewhat common
place study of an English coward. 1t has
nothing to do with the new America.
Miss Laselle had another object in the
compilation of the book. She states that
there are very few collections of short
stories Of interest and significance with
which to meet the needs of young people.
She has met this want admirably.

A Rosy View of
"The Sober World"

Is not WnOuy nSuraIIVe 10 say Iuas
l. in The Sober World Randolph
Wexford Smith has killed two books with
one writing. The impression is given
that Mr.. Smith started out to free his
mind, as many before him, on the sub
ject of the war and the Germans. But
speaking Of Germans, he was easily re-
minded of beer, which after all is a more
timely and even more poignant subject
than the war. So Mr. Smith, as we may
surmise, being a Grained American
journalist" had no difficulty m quickly
changing his book from The World War
to The Sober World.
The result is a curious, slightly intOxi-
eating mixture of Cardinal Mercier's pas
toral letters and Zimmerman Mexican
notes, "high art" saloons in New York
and quorum" centres in Washington,
Belgian atrocities and German spies and
drink statistics and COMMUNICATIONS
and Schwab and the Irish and De Valera
and "bonnie" England, and the Kaiser
and Carnegie and William NJ. Anderson
all put together as seductively as the
cocktail he describes at Haneoeks IN
Washington, with linguistic peaches,
small clusters of grapes, cherries, and a
little watermelon perhaps"
Mr.. Smith traces all the evils Of the
world back to beer and the Germans. The
world has been ruled by German brewers.
The brewers have owned the saloons Tin
which Bolshevism was born), and the
saloons have been run by the Irish, who
are anti" bonnie" England. The Social
ist party is beer party, and Socialist
meeting would be "Hamlet" with both
Hamlet and the ghost left out. Belgian
atrocities were due to beer Tor its bet
ters0, for which the Belgians-were them
selves to blame because of their well
stocked cellars. Back of Pan-Germanlsm
nas always been the brewery and back
of the brewery has been the paeifist. Mr..
Smith tells of Viennese beauty with the
Contour of Juno" and the "rose COM
plexion of Hebe," and whose figure (more
cautiously "might" rival that OF Juno
herself, who arrived In Washington one
winter to dazzle the statesmen with her
charms and her peace talk.
Mr.. Smith is romantic and cinemato-
graphic in turn. Many of his sentences,
if put into little balloons, would sail very
nicely as the text for movie. Portia
of the Plarnas is a scenario ready at hand,
being Mr.. Smiths romantic account OF
a woman prosecutor (Dr. Adams) Of Ger
man plotters in this country.
"You may paint the picture as you
please Of these human beasts Of prey con-
yicted by a woman, a woman but yester-
day a slip Of girl, racing out Of the far
Sierras and down the mountain side to
do and dare for the land she loved. Note
again the picture when this modern
Portia had finished with them, as they
wendell their way out Of the, court
room, granting her the greatest OF all
plaudits, the silence destined
