Clarence Carman and George Chap
man outrode Frank Cory and Percy
Lawrence before the largest crowd of
the season at the Point Breeze Velo-
drome last night. At the finish Chap
man and Cory were in the struggle,
but the youthful Chapman, riding with
out any mishap, shot home in the lead
by one and one half laps. The time for
the thirty miles was Al "a 3-5.
Percy Lawrence set the pace at the
start, and led for five miles, when
Chapman took up the sprint and was
in front by a lap at the ten mile point.
Carman then came into the race, and
from the fifteenth to the twenty second
mile the Jamaica speeder displayed his
1915 form.
He gained two laps on his nearest
foe, Cory, and was riding away from
the field when Schlci developed motor
trouble and forced him to lose ten laps.
1t was Chapman's turn to take up
the burden, and he showed such class
for the remaining eight miles that Cory
had no chance to overtake him. Law
renee looked like sure thing during the
early stages, when he whizzed around
the oval like a cyclone. a puncture put
him off the track and the lost ground

1t was announced that a handicap

Chapman and Lawrence will be on

The 1910 Wheat Crop.

If weather conditions in this
country are favorable there will
be a record wheat crop in 1919.
And every bushcl of this wheat
under the government guaran-
tee will bring the farmer 1926.
This guarantee has back of it
an appropriation of billion dol
lars made by congress for the
purpose of supporting the wheat
price.
1t ia possible that the loss to
the government may not be an
great "a anticipated. Mr.. Hoov-
er informs lis that Europe will
need more wheat than the est
mates have called for. There will
be no wheat raised in Russia,
Serbia or Bulgaria, so these
countries, which are unusually
exporters, will be obliged to i'm
port wheat. The Australian
wheat crop for 1919 win be
small, and the Argentine crop
will not exceed the usual
amount.
The conditions may force up
the market price of wheat and
may relieve the pockets of
Messrs. Taxpayer & Co. As
the pockets of Taxpayer & Co.
are not especially full at pre-.
sent, such result would be a
welcome one.

The Home-Comers.

Lis reported that many OF
our returning soldiers and sail
ors instead of going back to
their homes are entering the
large cities to seek employment.
The large cities are preparing
TO take scare of their own re-
turning men, and employers
will naturally replace them in
their old jobs in preference to
engaging non-residents.
Two things complicate the
employ ment question in cities
at present. One is that many
employers have been forced by
tho war limo distinction be-
tween essential aud non-essen-
tial industries to lessen tb cir
product, and must wait for the
indications of returning de.
mand to increase it.
The second consideration is
that many women and older
men have taken the places of
young men, and in many cases
their services cannot in fairness
be Immediately dispensed with.
These conditions will make
the city difficult place at pre-
sent for the young men from
small towns. 1t will be better
for such n young man at pre-
sent To return TO his own home,
where he is well known, and
take his old Job for the time be
ing. He can watch the de-
velopment Of business and make
his decent upon the city when
conditions appear favorable.
