WET ADVOCATES
HAVE new HOPE
Possibility That July ! Pro-
hibition Law May Be
Rescinded.

A few last weeks OF Joy for the vets
between wartime and peace time pro-
motion are possible, anti-prohibition
advocates believed yesterday.
wartime prohibition, due to go into
eject July i, provides that II must be
continued until army rehabilitation is
complete. 1t is now believed that this
eemootliZation can be low enough by
late next fall at least to lift the war
time ban. Should this be the case, the
prohibition lid would be of in dis
tricts that are now wet until the
whole country finally goes dry next
January.
Depends on Army.
Just what figure army discharges
must reach before the wartime pro-
hibition can be lifted is UP to the
PRESIDENT. At the present the army
numbers about !. 800. 900, and 1t is not
believed the rehabilitation can be
considered complete until il Is de-
creased to somewhere near the 500, 900
ngure, now being advocated as the
peace time strength of the army. This
should be accomplished by September,
according to the present pace OF the
war Department transport service.
As yet no recommendations have been
made to the President by any official
sources on any change in the prohi-
oition plan, it was stated yesterday
Should Congress. however, decide
this summer on a smaller army than
the $4,000 the War Department asks,
that would further remove the date OF
rehabilitation and probably crush
wet" hopes.

1t was she who contributed $3.50. 900
which made its building possible.
In keeping with her well-known
modesty and simplicity of demeanor
the exercises were of the most in
formal character, but deeply touch
ing and impressive because they
were heart inspired.
Miss Jessie Claire Mcdonald, the
principal. told of Mrs. Hearst's broad
vision. She told in simple words a

Mrs. Hearst which she said will
stand for all time as a sublime ex-
ample of good womanhod-of friend.

1919 CROP
Greatest Yield in History
Indicated By Agricultural
Department Figures.
(By United Press.)

The total spring and winter wheat
crop grown by the American farmer
this year promises to be the greatest
produced by any nation in the
worlds history. Agricultural De-
partment figures show.
To the estimated winter yield of
S37, 100000 bushels announced a
week ago, department estimates on
the spring wheat crop bring the
total for all wheat up to 1,1O0.000,oO0
bushels this year-and it may run
beyond this figure.
The only crops ever approximating
this were the 1918 winter yield in
Russia of S3S,OOO,OO0 bushels and a
single billion-bushel yield in the
United States.
s2.28 BusheI Guaranteed.
The promised 1919 yield, with the
guaranteed price of s2.26 a bushel
fixed by the government, means a
return of approximately s2,5OoOoO0o
to the farmer. Should the price of
wheat drop, 1t is pointed out, the gov
ernment would have big sum to
make up.
Little likelihood, however, is seen
for such a drop this year. Russian
production. which in years past has
been about the same as the United
States, does not now figure in the
world market. Hence the worlds sup
ply will still be far short of needs
until Russia resumes its former place
as a wheat-producing nation.
Money Has Deprecated.
Another factor which officials
here say will tend to prevent a
drop in wheat quotations is the
cheapening of money in every part
of the world. The dollar. for ex-
ample, is worth only half as much
as 1t was in 1913. according to
government statistics and the
pound, franc and lire have drop
ped as much or more in value.
Therefore officials are confident
the government will not be obliged
to buy millions of bushels of
wheat at a loss.
