THE OUTLOOK FOR CROPS.

Just how difficult il is to tell what we are going to get from early-condi- tions surrounding the crops of the country is we'll illustrated by the way in which the estimated wheat yield aas fallen, the way in which our corn crop is going to exceed last years though falling below the amount needed and a drop in the amount of cats to be harvested.
 The earliest predictions regarding wheat appeared to be too good to be true although greater efforts were put forward to increase the crop than ever before and there were fla vorabls weather conditions to help According to the crop report of the department Of agriculture issued the first of the month it is expected that there will be 2 yield of wheat total ling a25. o0e. 900 bushels It was an ticipated that it would run consider ably over billion bushels and thus prove to be the largest crop ever raised here, since that of 1915 now holds the honors in that respect
 Corn is of course still in the lead by a handsome margin. the estimate being that we will harvest 2,s5s, ,0oO,- Oea bushels this year. This will be an appreciabie gain over last year but certainly no more than will be re- quired in order to meet the situation
 In recent. years we have been rais- ing over a billion and a half bushels Of oats but this year the outlook is only for 2 billion and a quarter. There can be little question but what we shall be able to meet requirements and take care of foreign business on what we are going to get but it is plainly evident that there can be no relaxation tn efforts along these very

LETTERS TO THE, EDITOR

Mir Editor: There are some things about unionism I do not understand How can a man leave his job and still hold it, and while he claims it is his is out on another job which some re- turned soldier might fill7
 I hear that from 60 to so of the striking trolley men have other jobs, while they are supporting the strike and interfering with the traffic, con venience and comfort of 29,o00 people.
 Every man has right to quit his job when he sees fit, and every man has a right to walk as long as he sees fit and every man has right to ride with whom he sees fit. and as long as it pleases him.
 The doughty walker who tells us he walks four miles to >ris work daily to avoid riding in the cars in order to maintain the strike is wholly within his rights, but what is his objection to riding in the union buses at any old price with no responsibility at tending if they upset and injure him.
 I wish to know how a man who abandons a job can legally claim it is his or when he doesn't own cars takes the privilege to warn citizens who need use them to keep off, or where he finds the right to assault workmen who takes his place. or to tell law abiding citizens they are marked men,"
 Does such a man know he is a marked man" as an intimidator the moment he has played his part in in science and as yioIator of peace and good order.
 I believe in every mans rights to everything he can earn and enjoy; and in every violator of the laws rights to everything it holds for those who refuse to keep the peace and re- sort to revolutionary methods of any sort.
 The rights of mankind accord with their conduct. If they try to over turn the right of the state or the com munity they are in q conflict which bodes no good for them.

 Mir Editor: The war. is over. Most of the soldiers and sailors are home. and many more are coming. In all cities towns and hamlets. societies are forming made up of ex-service men. In Norwich there has been a legion formed. known the Robert c. Fletcher post, and out of this post certain members intend forming a band. An orchestra has already been started of eight pieces and of these eight men there are but three that have been in the service of our coun- try. If this is the way a group of men unite and affix a title that does not rightfully belong to them, and expect to deceive the public. it is about time to disband this American Legion.

which went to her assistance, nor
had any of the boats containing the
vessels crew of 50 men been
picked up.
The Kanawha should have reached
the spot given by the sinking Polar
Land before dark, but the rescue ship
wirelessed tonight for specific in
structions as to her location when
last heard from. The request is
taken here to mean that the Polar
Land had gone down.
The Greek steamer Platea is
ashore at Sable island; the steam
ship Grelstone is in trouble off Sable
island, having stripped her propeller
blades, the Telemachus, a coal boat,
called for help off Cape Breton and
another unidentified craft replied
that she could not go to the Polar
Lands assistance as she was in dis
tress also.
The crew of the Platea was landed
at the lifef saving station at Sable
island. It's captain reported his ship
was undamaged.
Late tonight the Canadian govern
ment steamship Aramore, which had
been dispatched from North Sydney
to the. Grelstone's assistance, re-
ported that other rescue vessels were

CHIEF FIGURE IN
SOCIETY SCANDAL
WILL WE'D AGAIN
Children Taken From Her by
Court After Disclosures of
Immoral Relations.

London, Nov. o.-The beautiful
Mrs. Hope of Luffness, who leaped
into great prominence by campaign
ing against Ex-Premier Asquith in
the historic general election of De-
cember last, and later had further
notoriety of a iless desirable kind, is
again in the news in consequence of
her. engagement. which has just been
announced. Her second husband
will be Lionel Clement Erskine
Clark, youngest son of the late God
frey L. Clark, a Scottish magnate of
Talygarn. f"
Widow of Officer.
Mrs. Hope, who aspired to secure
nomination as an independent candi-
date for East Fife, the constituency
which Mr.. Asquith represented in
parliament for SO many years, is the
widow of a gallant British officer
who, long missing" was finally
legally presumed to be dead. Colonel
Hope was nephew of Lord Rose
berry and was otherwise connected
with some of the most socially
..otable families in Great Britain.
His widow is accounted to be one of
the handsomest women in her day.
Mrs. Hopes campaign ended in
fiasco. her candidature not being al
lowed on the ground that she was
able only to offer a check. and not
cash, for the sum of $3.50, which
every parliamentary candidate is
obliged to pay in. to cover election
expenses, and which is forfeited if
the candidate fails to poll one-third
OF the votes cast g..
Called Unfit"
A sensational sequel came
couple of m pnths later, when the
trustees of the late Colonel Hope
I,etitioned the Edinburgh court of
sessions to remove Mrs. Hope from
the Office of guardian of her two
children. on the ground that she
was entirely unfit" to be intrusted
with them. Mrs. Hope was then
stated to have been guilty of i'm
moral conduct and to be addicted to
the excessive use of alcohol. She
was charged with associating with
undesirable persons, and with habit
ually i'll treating her children, and
conducting herself before them in
manner calculated seriously to
prejudice their health and morals.
Extraordinary evidence in support
of these allegations was forthcom-
ing, and as result new guardian,

Colonel Hopes mother, was ap-

Union of Russian Workers
Planned to Bring About
Overthrow of Government
Through a General Strike.
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
PROGRAM OF RADICALS
Reds Looked Forward to
Magnificent, Beautiful
Form of Man Without a Job,
Master, Free of Authority"

Washington, D. c., Nov. o.
Plans of the Union Of Russian
Workers to bring about an over
throw of the government through a
general strike is revealed in docu-
ments seized in the nationwide
raids of federal authorities Friday
and Saturday nights and made pub
lie tonight by Assistant Attorney
General Garvan.
With the government overthrown
and everything wiped from the
earth that is a reminder of the right
to private ownership of property,
the, Russian workers, according to
their manifesto, looked forward ito
the magnificent. beautiful form of a
man without a job, without master
ard free of authority"
The documents and publications
obtained in the raids, officials said
today, are of the most inflammatory
nature and make no effort to con-
ceal the unions program of destruc-
ton and death to achieve its ends.
Much of the material made public
tonight is of such nature as to
cause ordinarily any newspaper re-
printing to be barred from the mails.
Included among the documents
seized, all Of which are printed in
Russian, is "Novomirksy- manifesto
OF anarchists-communists."
Dangerous Propaganda.
This publication, the most recent
put out by the union, was said by
Mr.. Garvan to be the most danger
Gus piece of propaganda ever dis
seminated by any radical organiza-
ton in the United States. The mani
festo outlines, the purpose of the
movement inaugurated by the union
as, Complete destruction of private
control of natural resources and cap
ital and complete destruction ! of
power of rule and the institutions
invested with powers to enforce
rule of one man over another"
Under the caption of What
should be our means of carrying on
the fight" the manifesto says:
what must we do, the vanguard
of the proletariat we must con-
sciously hasten the elementary
movement of the struggle or the
working class; we must convert
small strikes into general ones, and
convert the latter into armed re-
volt of the 1aboring masses against
capital and state.
General Ruin Planned.
AT the time of this revolt, we
must at the first favorable opportu-
nifty proceed to an immediate seiz-
ure of all means of production and
all articles Of consumption and make
the working classes the masters in
fact of all general wealth. At the
same time we must nercilessly de-
