The Usual Thing.

"Eh-yah! Spring is almost at
hand" admitted the landlord of the
Petunia tavern. "Those gents over
yonder on the sunny side of the court
house are engaged in garden talk.
They are advising each other as to
what vegetables are the most profit
able and the surest to yield abund-
antly, those that are the least affect
ed by dry weather or long wet spells,
and those which will soonest produce
food for the table,"
"Ah! Then there will be a great
deal of gardening done this spring?"
commented the specialized guest.
mo. They will do a great deal of
talking about doing a great deal of
gardening until it is too late to do
any gardening this spring, and then

CRYS WIN MICHIGAN
RETURNS INDICATE REPUBLICAN
TICKET SUCCESSFUL.
Amendment to Constitution Permitting
Sale and Manufacture of Beer
and Wine Rejected.

Detroit, April S.-Returns from the
biennial election in Michigan indicate
that the entire Republican ticket has
been successful, an amendment to the
constitution permitting the sale and
manufacture of beer and wine has
been rejected and a bond issue of
$50,O00,000 for construction of a hard
road system has carried.
In Detroit chief interest centered
on a proposal to purchase the street
railway system Available returns
show the vote to be close, 65 precincts
giving 6,793 for and 1856 against.
Grant NJ. Hudson, superintendent of
the Anti-SaloOn league, in statement,
claimed the drys would win the fight
against the constitutional amendment
permitting the sale and use of light
wine and beer by majority of ap-
proximately 100000 votes.
Scattering reports received at this
time from different parts of the state
indicate clearly that the dry majority
will be double that of 1916, when we
carried the state by 69,0O0," Mr.. Hud-
son said.
"Some of the places we have heard
from include the city of Grand TRAY
erse, dry majority, 1,400; Mecosta
county, dry by 1000; Marquette, 700;
Ishpeming, 403, and Wexford county,
1900. Reports from other parts of
the state show the same gains"
Indications are that Detroit voted
wet by to 1. The vote in the rural
districts was heavy for prohibition,
So precincts registering $500 for the
amendment and 20,115 against it.
The largest vote ever cast in Michi-
gan was polled, and in many sections
the women outvoted the men. This
was the first time women have been
privileged to vote, and they made the
most of it.

GREATEST WHEAT
CROP FOR The U. S.
Department of Agriculture Esti-
mates Yield This Year al
937,OOO,0OO Bushels.
VALUED AT S1,O91,62O, 900
Condition of Grain on April Was
ee.9 Per Cent of NormaI-This
Years Crop Will Be $4,000
600 Blu. More Than 1914.

Washington, April 10.-The largest
crop of winter wheat ever grown was
forecast for this year by the depart
ment of agriculture, basing it's esti-
mate on conditions existing April 1.
The enormous yield of 8370O0,0OO
bushels was announced, which, at the
governments guaranteed price of 1926
a bushel, places the crops value at
$1,891 100000
The estimate on the condition of
the crop April 1 was 99.8 per cent of
normal.
This years winter wheat crop, if
no unfavOrable conditions develop be-
tween now and time of harvest, will
be 152,000,000 bushels larger than the
previous record crop, produced in 1914,
and 24SO00,00O bushels more than was
grown last year.
Production of winter wheat last
year was 55S, 10000 bushels and in
1917 it was 412.9O1 900 bushels, while
the record crop of C84,990,000 bushels
was produced in 1914.
The condition of the crop on April
L, last year, was 1856 per cent of a
normal, while in 1917 it was 1874, and
the average of the last ten years was
S23.
There was an increase in condition
from December 1, last year, to April
/, this year, of ID points, compared
with an average decline in the last
ten years of so points between those
dates.
The forecast of production of win
ter wheat this year is based on the
assumption of average abandonment
of acreage and average influences on
the crop to harvest
The average condition of rye on
April 1 was 90.6 per cent of a nor
NAL, against S5.8 on April 1, last year
Sc in 1917, and $3.50, the average con-
dition for the last ten years on April l.

The advertisers in The Leader de-

paper to be of service to the workers.
The individuals and firms using our

WILL THIS GOVERNMENT NOT
GIVE COAL MINERS JUSTICE?

The striking coal miners, as good
American citizens, have withdrawn
their strike order in accordance with
the decision of the courts of this de-
mocracy that it was illegal.
Fine! No defiance of our estab-
lished government, no challenge to
organized society-just simple obedi-
ence to the mandates of government
backed by a public opinion majority.
But that is not enough. Not by a
good deal
1t is now the duty of government
which is responsible to the majority
in this democracy to compel justice
for the miners - FOR THIS MI
NORITY.
A body of 100000 men do not
unanimously strike unless they are
suffering deep wrongs. We know
that all industry in America has
thriven on the product of the coal
miners labor for three-quarters of a
century, but that the miners have not
thriven-that their earnings are pre-
carious-that their conditions of life
are miserable - that their children
have little or no opportunity, and
that they themselves and their wives
work lifetime and die finally in
poverty.
The coal miner is neglected citi-
zen of America.
What, now, is the American gov
ernment going to do about him?
Will it be the old story-will the
government permit the greedy oper-
ators and industry generally to con-
tinue to wiring the life blood out of
this humble citizen
Or shall he have justice?
And hope?

Would Make u. S. Bartender.

New York, Aug. S.-Asserting that
the government has recently sold
confiscatef whisky in St. Louis to
collect federal taxes, wholesale
liquor dealers have asked Daniel J.
Roper, internal revenue collector, for
permission to adopt the same method
TO obtain funds to pay their taxes, &C
cording to the Association Opposed
to National Prohibition.
These dealers, according to the as
ISOLATION, have approximately 80 mil
lion gallons of "outlawed" whisky in
"floor stock" upon which nearly 60
million dollars in taxes is due next
month. Eventually the government
must confiscate and sell it for taxes
unless the owners are permitted to
sell it, it was asserted'i
The whisky sold by the govern
ment, it is said, was under a stipula-
ton that it was to be used solely for
medicinal, scientific or sacramento
purposes.
