GLOWING WHEAT PROSPECT

According to the December crop
report issued by the department of
agriculture at Washington, the indica-
lions for the most glowing wheat
crop in the history of the country is
evident The acreage is the largest
ever known and the weather has been
decidedly favorable 1t is estimated
the yield will be S0,OO0,000 bushels in
excess of the highest record. The
government has guaranteed the price
in order to stimulate production, and
American wheat may sell cheaper
abroad than in this country, the gov
eminent bearing the loss. There is
an interesting economic question in
store for the future, and all are inter

GIVES BOND FOR A SISTERS
HEALTH

Here is another instance of human
kindness. In conversation with a
young man he said he had been able
to pay for liberty bond of the last
issue and that for a Christmas pres
ent he was going to give the bond to
his sister that she may have an oper-
atio1 for appendicitis. The young
woman is suffering with this ailment
and the uppermost thought of the
brother was to give his little savings
for his sisters health. That was a
Christmas present worth while and
one with the highest element of hui

THEN AND NOW

When Benjamin Franklin went to
Paris at the time this country was the
storm center of a revolution with the
mother country, he paid about dollar
a day for his lodgings in the wonder
city. Franklin was the exponent Of
true democracy. He was the first
ambassador from this country to
France, and the memory of Ben of
Philadelphia fingers as cherished
memory where the French republic
throbs the greatest.
Thomas Jefferson is another Ameri-
can who spelled democracy with
marked simplicity. He rode his horse
into Washington and tied the animal
to post while he took the oath of
office of president of this great re-
public
Now when the exponent of the TWEEN
tieth century democracy goes to Paris
he is domiciled in the palace of one of
Napoleonss marshals. Such wide con-
trasts have no doubt created certain
headstone disturbances in Philadel-
phia and Monticello, for the world
has moved a long way on the high
way of democracy. Times have
changed and governments have
changed with them. The democracy
of the tallow candle and grain cradle
has given way to the spirit of the day
with electric lights and flying ma
chimes. Between the days of Ben and
Tom and those of Woodrow there is
much for contemplation.
