Price of Labor.

An Indiana suffragist, who is a wide

other morning to buy some blackber-
ries of young country woman, re-

ries were fine, but the suffragist wish

were offered. "Why, they just grow

Two Sides of Japan.

A remarkable difference exists be-
tween the climates of western and
central Japan, 80 much so that these
districts are distinguished by the
names of Sanindo-sha!y side-and
SanyOd orunny side, respectively.
During the long ani dgsr0us winter OF
western Japan the central province,
bordering on the inland sea, enjoys dry
and comparatively mild weather. The
two regions and the factors determin-
ing their climatic conditions are dis
tinct. A Japanese writer says that
while the winter climate Of central
and southern Japan depends on the
southwestern monsoons, that of the
western coast is directly related to the
barometric area Of north China.

NICk'S HARD FATE
One Romanoff to Whom Country
Has Been UngratefuI.
Story Of Great Russian Military Com.
mander Most Amazing Romance
ct the War-His Splendid Gen.
eralship Is Recalled.

From March, 1917, till October, 1918,
Grand Duke Nicholas Romanoff, for
mer commander in chief of the Rus
sian armies and one of the most bril-
liant generals Of the great war, was
prisoner in the town of Yalta in the
Crimea. He is now in Milan with his
family, humbly housed. The story Of
big Nick" is one of the most amaz-
Ing romances of the war, the Pitts
burgh Gazette-Times states.
When the bolsheviki gained control
OF Russia Nicholas was residing at
Tifiis, where he had been governor un-
der the czar and under the Lvoff
regime. He was summoned to Yalta
by the bolshevik authorities and obeyed
the summons. His brother, his wife,
his sister-in-law and other members Of
his family and his suite were impris-
oned with him. Twenty-Five bolshevik
soldiers were detailed to guard the dis
tinguished prisoners.
Late in the summer of 1918 it was
all the prisoners. The bolshevik guards
absolutely declined to permit the SEN
tence of death to be executed and sent
the firing squad back to headquarters.
Three times thereafter executiOners
were sent to kill the prisoners, but in
, each instance the guard prevented the
carrying-out of the sentence.
When the Germans came to Yalta
Nicholas declined to permit the Ger
mans to enter the house that had been
his prison, declaring his utter lOath-
ing Of all things German. Soon after
this the allies took Yalta and Nicholas
was rescued.
All the private fortune of the grand
duke has been lost. His lands have
been cOnfiscated. At Milan he lives
comfortably, but very unOstentatiously.
Democracy owes much to Grand
Duke Nicholas. He was, in fact, a
stanch uphOlder of the old Russian alb
solutism. But first of all Nicholas was
a, Russian. He knew Russia's saliva
ton depended on the vanquishing Of
Germany. He was a leader of con-
summate skill and it is more than prob
able that only his splendid generalship
prevented Germany from winning the
war in the early stages. His retreat
before the tremendous attack of Mack
esen and Hindenburg, which resulted
In the saving of the Russian armies,
was one of the most notable chapters
of the war.
Between the bOlshevist Russia of to-
day and the old autocratic Russia for
which Nicholas fought, practical stu
dents and statesmen find little choice,
but it must be admitted that the au-
tocracy produced great men, while the
gutter communism has found only
scoundrels for its leaders. In the
awarding of justice there should be
some provision for this gigantic Rus
sian, who in 1914 and 1915 prevented
Germany from marching to easy vic
tory.

No Horses on LARGEST Farm.

A 200OOO-acre farm, the largest in
the world, which is the direct result of
the governments efforts to stimulate
the growing of wheat, is described by
Robert H. Moulton in Everybody's.
''The farm is devoted entirely to
wheat, and If it produces somewhere
around the country's average of twen-
ty-eight bushels per acre, which is
practically certain, it will add approx
mately 5,65OOOO bushels to the 1919
wheat CROP" says the writer.
Gall of the work is being done with
tractors. Last fall when the first
ground was broken, there were fifty

American Nation Maintained A.
lied Loaf Through Self
Denial at Home Table.
AVERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military DemandS Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent or the latest wheat
crop the only Limitation upon Amerl-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage Of shipping. Between July l
and October 10 we shipped 65,9S0,305
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end Of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237, 100000 bushels of wheat and
-four in terms Of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton of hostilities we are able TO re-
turn to a normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated In Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have a white loaf at the com.
mon table.
But last year the tale was different
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able TO keep a
steady stream of wheat aid flour NOV
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statfsticians
figured that we had bare surplus Of
2O,OO0,000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability Of bread
famine-and In Europe bread Is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. BY the first
Of the year we had managed to ship
little more than 5O,000,OOO bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution Of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only II we sent an additional TO-
100000 bushels before July 1 could he
take the responsibility Of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response Of the American peo-
pie was S5,OO0,OO0 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January 1 and
July 1. Out of a harvest which gave
rs only 20,0000O0 bushels surplus we
Actually shipped 141, 100000 bushels.
EGhus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

Increase in American Hogs viii
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In Stimulation
of Pork Production-sevenfo
Increase Over Pre-
War Exports.

Through Increased production aod
conservation we will be able this yea3
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports Of pork products.
With the heavy demands ADDED in car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action Of stimulation
Of hog production. In. the coming year
the greatest world shd&age will be in
fats. and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy Of the policy
of stimulated production has built up
in this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply very large part OF
the fat deficiency Of the world. In
beef there must be shortage in Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filled by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the q. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture indicate an
Increase in cattle Of 10,23S,OOO head
and 12,441 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January last
In this period there was decrease
in sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
tions are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January l unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs OF
not less than 8 per cent and not
more than Is per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase In
the average weight.
Following the request Of the O. 8.
Food Administration for an increase
in hog production for marketing In the
fall Of 1918 and the spring OF 1919 the
Increase may yield not less than 1,6OO,-
100000 pounds more Of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
1917, amounted to 903, 1000 pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277, $4,000, an increase of over S74.-
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records Of inspected slaughter Of
dressed beef showed 1,263,OOO,OOO
pounds as against 1,454, 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September /, this year.
