Today S Talk
BY George Matthew Adams
THE DARKEST DAY CLEARS


We stumble over the obvious In
life. It's the simple things that we
neglect most. The plainest truths we
pay the least attention to.
And yet these are the things that
are the most vital to us.
Even the mediocre person shows his
hidden metal at times of great stress
or in the midst of dire emergency
The real hero, the great man, how
ever, early recognizes that he must
face and give his hand and heart and
head to the commonplace facts and
events Of life.
To such an one the darkest day
clears-always.
The natural intelligence of the aver
age person is not Of low order. It's
the use to which we all put our abh.
tiles and observations that stamp us
what we are.
We get very discouraged on dark,
gloomy days. But when we come to
think of it, we know that there have
been many cher days as dark and dis
couraging.
And how many times the day has
opened dark and ended in a picture of
beauty and sunshine!
So to help even things up, try to
carry around an especially happy and
cheerful heart when the day is I'M
usually full of rain and clouds. For
there are bound to come days when
your heart somehow will be heavy
though above you the sun shall shine
in all its glory and at nighttime the
stars shall put on new lustre, like the
finest polished diamond.
And just remember that the darkest
day DOES clear.

Wireless Aids Ohio Police
to Catch Bank Bandits

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Dec. 15.-Police
headquarters in all large Ohio cities
will be equipped with wireless outfits
for the apprehension of bands of
bandits. if a plan proposed by Pa
trolman Window of the local police
force, and being considered by Safety
Director McCune, is adopted.
McCune points out that because
Ohio has no state constabulary and as
rural banks are virtually unprotected,
the plan ought also to receive the sup
port of smaller towns. He asserted
that the installation of wireless out
fits would not entail an exhorbitant
cost because of the good results that
would obtain.
McCune estimated that towns with
in Il range of 200 miles of ones where
there was wireless equipment could
be notified almost instantly in case
of a robbery.

1920 FARM CROP Value S5,OOO,OOO,0O0 LESS

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - Shrink

year at almost st, 1000, ooo, 900 less than
last year. although the 1920 harvest
was one of the most abundant in the
nations history, with half a dozen
crops breaking records,
The important farm crops which
comprise about 80 per cent of the
value of all farm crops were valued
this year at $9,148,519,Oo0 by the De.

this being an increase over the earlier
estimates for 1920 of 39,230,00O
bushels.
Abandoned Areeage Less.
THE 1920 acreage abandoned from
winter killing was less than expected
and indicated by the very bad and
unpromising conditions on May /, and
the increasingly favorable character of
the later season permitted much wheat
then considered hopeless to develop
and come to harvest. The reports of
increase over earlier expectations OF
winter wheat produced come from al.
most every important winter wheat
state.
THE greatest gain, 100000, is in
Kansas, the leading producer of winter
wheat. In that state the increase was
helped by an area of over 100000
acres of volunteer wheat sprouted
from shattered grain in the autumn of
1919. which, despite it's unpromising
beginning and doubtful prospects in
the spring of 1920, came finally to har.
vest.
"In general it appears that the re.
duction in crop acreage in 1920 below
1919 is less than was thought and re-
ported at the beginning of the crop
season. Notwithstanding the early un-
favorable conditions for farm work,
the efforts of the farmers to fully seed
their fields, assisted by favoring days
that came late in the planting period,
