FACING BREAD FAMINE
Statement That Is Attributed To
Congressman Anderson,
First District

America and many countries in
Europe faced a bread famine for a
time recently when congress was hay
ing heated debates over the bill which
would provide regulations to carry
out the guaranteed wheat price of the
1919 crop, according to Sydney A.
Anderson, First congressional district
representative at Washington. Failure
to pass the bill would have brought
terrible conditions upon this nation
and the dangers were narrowly avoid
ed for the bin was passed in the early
hours of the morning of the final day
session of the "war congress"
"On the basis Of the known situa-
tion," said the congressman, "it is
not impossible that the world will be
shorter on wheat next year than It's
this year. The world export of wheat
is normally from 600 to 700 million
bushels. Russia usually supplied 375
million and Hungary and the Balkans
eighty million. Now Russia and the
Balkans are supplying none and Ger
many has become an importer of
wheat and flour. France will have
probably aSquarter less than the
normal output Of -four. The crop in
Argentina is not above normal. The
crops of the United States Austria and
Canada are now an unknown quantity
ION the basis of a maximum acreage,
the United States may have a smaller
surplus this year than next year. All
these facts together resolve them
selves in the conclusion that policy
of restricted spring wheat acreage
might leave us not only without a
margin of safety but below Nactual
world requirements.
Failure to carry out the guaranteed
wheat price would probably have
meant" said Mr. Anderson, "a decided
drop in pri cewith consequent liquida.
ton on the part of millers and the
stoppage of the flow of wheat from
mills To consumer"

EVANS IS NOT SUICIDE
Believed in Austin That He Has Just
Disappeared.

That Marcus Evans, the Austin man
who so mysteriously disappeared, did
not drown himself in the river there,
is now believed beyond doubt, for
the reason that trainmen have identi-
fed a picture of Evans as that of a
man who boarded their train at a lone

The night of the disappearance, the

NEAL THAT FADED away
AUSTIN EDITORS HAD MOUTHS
FIXED FOR BIG FEED
But Bankers land Lawyers Could
Not Agree; Banquet Was
Called Off

Somone always'is taking the joy out
of life. If you don't think so. read
!. this tale of woe from The Herald
Austin
The editors today feel like good ole
st. Peter when he had vision of 9
bahqueting table let down from hea-
ven on which were all kinds of eats
and who, just as he was assured that
the food was good saw it disappear
again.
ct happened this way; TIRE at.
torney's of the county sent out invi-
tations to the bankers and the editors
to break bread with them at the FoA
hotel, Thursday night. The editors
accepted their invitations with alacri-
Gus promptitude but the bankers. fear
ing Greeks barring gifts, met in solemn
session at five o'clock the afternoon
preceding the date set for the ban
quet, to consider the invitation. Bank
ers are a conservative folk. They
never accept any paper without careful
consideration, not even an invitation
to banquet. They saw in the in
vitation what they pronounced rank
discourtesy' and offensive statements
and returned the invitation with the
frigid politeness-with which they de.
cline TO make a loan.
"The lawyers of the state have or.
ganized to put a stop to what they
call the illegal practice of law by
the bankers, to wit, the probating 81
estates to the detriment and damags
of the aforesaid lawyers. In the in.
vitation the lawyers, deviated from
their usual form of writing and USED
what the bankers term plain English
The bankers say the invitation was
to banquet on the menu of which
rooster bankers was to be one of the
features.
THE editors saw nothing offensive
in their invitations not being a sen.
sitive folk. but now feel hurt at the
way the lawyers treated them. II
was nothing short of rank discourtesy
and offensive. When the bankers re
fused OF eat with them the lawyers
notified the editors by phone in this
manner: You need not dress in your
Sunday suit tonight for there will be
no banquet" Cold discourtesy to
say the least to cut out one group Of
guests because another group re-
fused to attend. If the lawyers are
as well versed in the scripture as they
are in the law they would have re-
membered an occasion in which the
invited guests turned down the invi-
tation but the master of the feast
sent out to the highways and by ways
that the tables might be filled. The
-dftors were ready to eat with botl
bankers and lawyers or with either
one Of them, or alone.
The lawyers failing to get chance
to make a gas attack on the bankers
are going to use long range artillery
on them. What they could not tel
them face to face, they are going Il
say by sending them a summary o.
the law. They will intimate thai
the bankers have as much right {,
practice law as they have to extrac
teeth or treat sick cow. This state.
ment will be entitled a brief. TIL,
