SPRING WHEAT ESTIMATE
TOPS FORMER FIGURES
Federal Estimator Places States
Crop at 2O,0OOfo0O Bushels
Oats Normal

Spring wheat in Washington at
harvest time averaged SO per cent
of normal, indicating a crop of 20,-
464 900 bushels, according to the
Spokane office of the bureau of crop
estimates United Gtates department
of agriculture. The 1919 Spring
wheat production in the state
amounted to 2O,3O0,00O bushels,
while the average production for
1914-191S isc 17,065,000 bushels.
The condition of spring wheat in
the United States dropped from 49,
per cent on August l to GAL per
cent on September l, forecasting
23I374,000 bushels, aEainst 261,-
100000 bushels on August /. The
total spring wheat crop this season
is much larger than the 1919 pro-
duction of 209,351,0 900 bushels, but
more than 20,00O,000 bushels less
than the 1914-191S Average produc-
ton of 25S,74S,OOO bushels.
The state cat crop at harvest time
was II per cent of normal, forecast
ing a production of 12,937,0O0 bush
els. The 1919 crop amounted to
12,S0O,000 bushels, while the aver
age FOR 1914-1918 is 1924, 900
bushels.
The total oat crop of the United
States is placed at 1,441,S39, 900
bushels, an increase of almost 49,
100000 bushels over August 1 es-
innate. This production is consid-
erably larger than the 1919 crop of
PAS, 700 bushels and also larg-
er than the 1914-191S average OF
1,414,5 5S,0OO bushels.
Washington has but 90 per cent
as many hogs for fattening this year
as on September /, 1919, or 157 900
as compared with $4,000 last year.
This decrease is due primarily to the
high price of grain feed-the grain
growers preferring to sell the grain
rather than feed it to hogs and those
who have to buy grain feed finding
it too expensive.
Hogs held for fattening in the
United States show a big decrease,
the 56,549, 900 being but Gil per
cent of the 62,O73,0O0 held on Sep
TENDER /, 1919.

future of the people and of the ma
tion is bound up in the question of
joining or keeping out of the league
emn obligation rests upon every man
and woman to study this problem
earnestly, to think for themselves in
stead of allowing others to think for
them; to decide for themselves what
the results of joining or keeping out
of the league will be, instead of ac-
cepting as gospel truth the predic-
tions of the champions or opponents
of either line of action.

THE ONE BIG ISSUE

In the approaching election there
is one big issue to be settled of sucl
tremendous Importance that all tn,
others sink into insignificance be
side it.
As a rule the people are called up
on to vote for party to administer
the affairs of the country for foul
years. In this campaign they are
called upon to vote on a policy which
will determine the destiny of the ma
ton for all time to come,
The issue is: Shall the United
States join the league OF nations as
it now exists, or shall it keep out OF
the league as it now exists?
The issue is clear cut and the line
is sharply drawn.
The republican presidential candi-
date and administration are commit
ted to the policy of keeping out the
league as it now exists.
The democratic presidential can
didate and administration are com
mitted to the policy of going into the
league as it now exists.
The question has been submitted
to the voters for decision and it is
the most momentous problem they
have ever been called upon to face.
The politicians of both parties are
trying to obscure the issue and to di-
vert attention to matters of minor
importance.
Some are trying to make the peo-
pie believe that prohibition is the big
issue of the campaign. 1t is not an
issue at all as far as the presiden-
tial candidates are concerned. The
record and character of both men
justify the belief that each of them
would enforce the Volstead act as
long as it remains on the statute
books, and that either of them would
sign bill passed by congress modi-
flying the law. Congress alone has
the power to repeal, abridge or make
more drastic the provisions of the
Volstead act and therefore in the
election of U. S. senator's and mem
bers of the house of representatives
prohibition is an issue, but not in the
presidential race.
Some are trying to stress the rails
ing OF unduly large campaign funds
as the paramount issue Ordinarily
it would be matter of much public
concern, but compared to the ques-
ton of joining or staying out of the
league of nations, it is merely a
smoke screen.
Some are trying to focus the atten-
tion Of the voters ON industrial and
domestic policies, but all of these pol
icies will be vitality influenced by the
attitude which the United States as
sumes toward the league OF nations.
Some are trying to confuse the
people by clamoring about party rec
ords and party sins OF omission and
commission in the past. But the ma
ton is facing the future and its fate
hinges on present action.
Let no voter be deceived. The is
sue which will most vitality affect the

ADVICE on FLU
IT'S WORTH SAVING

When Flu makes its appearance in
your locality, do as the Scotch folks
dc-bc prepared.
Order from your druggist a small,
inexpensive bottle OF Haelanol, an
antiseptic liquid that can be .sprinkl-
ed on handkerchief, and when sreath-
ed deep into the lungs. turns into
penetrating. antiscptic air that de-
stroys all harmful germs as it passes
over the membrane of the nose, throat
and bronchial tubes.
This is Scotch physicians pre-.
scription that is gaining much favor
in this country because 1t is such a
thoroughly good destroyer OF pernici-
GUS germs.
When you have heavy cold or
chronic catarrh. sprinkle few drop
on your pillow when you go to bed,
and you'll find that it cleans cut hto
stuffed up nasal passages while you
sleep, and in short time makes an
end to catarrh.
It's really an important discovery
and worth trial. and little pampa-
let that goes with it, gives you a lot
OF good advice.
First aid in Group and the heavy
breathing OF children, 1t has also
proven very successful says the Fair
mont Pharmacy.

Bob. "Wait-and see!"
We did not have to wait long. TWO
shadows darkeaed the opening OF the
door and Bob put a warning finger
on my wrist.
Slowly through the narrow door
came the rather round body OF Ham
ilton Certeis. He did not move swift

ers. He leaned for support on the

Manuel.

In spite of Don Manuels strength
,they moved slowly. Certeis limped
painfully and dark line marked his
path from the door to the. nearest
couch.
Damn It," whispered Bob in my
ear. His luck is with him as usual.
He's got a bullet in his ankle. l
can't throw wounded man down into
the dungeon below u.s."
Bob! you really intended to dc
that? What an awful revenge. So
that was why you wanted to stay
here"
Sure thing! And now, can tackle
him." Bob growled.
Don Manuel's even voice reached
us. although he spoke softly as he
bound his handkerchief about the an
kle of the wounded man
We're done ior. And We night rs
well face the fact" he said gently as
though he were asking lady for a
