SHORTAGE IN SMALL GRAIN

Winter wheat production this year
was forecast at 4S4,647 900 bushels
by the department of agriculture
which based its estimates on condi-
tons prevailing May LIST. The crop
showed a slight improvement from
April 1, the forecast of production
being 100000 bushels larger than
estimated a month ago. Compared
with last years crop the prospective
wheat crop has been reduced 1878
percent.
Abandonment of acreage during
the winter was a little greater than
in average years, amounting to 11.9
percent or 4,605,000 acres.
On the basis of May / reports, 34,-
1880 acres will be harvested this
year in comparison with nearly 49,
100000 acres last year.
Shortage of labor and back
ward spring are believed to have re-
suited in less abandonment than
normally would have taken place,
Farmers for those reasons allowed
fields to stand that otherwise would
have been plowed under and plant
ed to other crops.
Work on the farm generally is
much behind owing to the cold and
wet spring Flowing on May LIST
was only SOL percent completed,
compared with a ten year average OF
TIA percent. Spring planting was
500 percent finished while normally
it is So percent done on May LIST.

DIARIES AND DAYLIGHT

Dairymen who deliver their pro-
ducts either to customers in the city
or to the loading platforms of rail-
road or interurban lines find it nee
essary to do great deal of work
before daylight, and thus are partic-
ularly interested in all ways of max
ing these early working hours as
short and as efficient as possible.
Next to modern dairy machinery
such as the separator, the most inn
portant factor in the matter of time
saving is that of artificial light, and
electricity is rapidly coming to be
recognized as the safest, and most
convenient means of dairy lighting
1t Is claimed that wherever electric
light is used on the farm during
working hours it actually saves time,
that is. reduces the time taken to
perform certain operation by Civ
ing brighter and more evenly dis
tributed light on the work at hand.
And in no kind OF farm work is this
more true than in the work per-
formed in the dairy barn. Electric
lights can be placed where they are
most needed along the rows Of stalls,
and once placed the work is done.
The first item of saving is effected
because the farmer no longer has to
move the lantern from place TO place
wherever he goes. The hand that
formerly had to lift and carry the
lantern can now be used exclusively
in productive work And, of course,
in cleaning, separating, cooling and
bottling milk and in sterilizing bot
ties and equipment, electric light
proves an invaluable aid.
The small electric plants which
furnish this light and which are
now so widely used on farms all ov-
er the country, supply enough light
not only for the dairy barns, but for
the house and all other buildings as
we'll And in addition to light they
furnish plenty of current for electric
power. The separator, churn, milk
ing machine and other dairy power
appliances can easily be operated as
we'll as other light power machinery
for farm work. And in the house
the washing machine, pumping sys-
TEN, vacuum sweeper and a hundred
other household appliances make
the farm wife's work much lighter.

BRYAN,s COMEBACK

The most significant happening in
the ranks of the democratic party in
this country in recent weeks is the
victory of Bryan in Nebraska. Now
that politicians have had time to
look over the situation they begin to
perceive that Bryan is to be the
dominating figure in the San Fran
cisco convention and in the country
as whole.
Mullen of Nebraska and Sullivan
of Illinois were the two big men on
the democratic national committee
who stood any show of successfully
combating Bryan in that organiza-
ton. Sullivan is dead and Mullen
has been defeated and his place will
be taken by a Brayn follower.
Governor Edwards will go to San
Francisco with a wet plank for the

The general conference on Tues

fare of the work among the negro
membership by authorizing the cleo
tion of two negro bishops. They
will be elected in perhaps a weeks
time. Also three men that were
classea as missionary bishops were
passed to the class in which the 9TH

democratic banner in the coming
campaign. Bryan mayNnot be able
to name the man in the start. But
ii is a safe bet that any man against
whom he centers his energies will
not be nominated. With Bryan
in that convention Wilson's chance
OF third term nomination is less
likely than the finding of a needle
in a haystack. Eight years ago
Bryan prevented the nomination of
Champ Clark after the latter had
received majority of the conven-
ton votes on eleven successive bal
lots. He is in a position to repeat
that performance if the occasion in
his judgment calls for the ecort.
A significant straw showing the
feeling of democrats generally in
the country was the message of con-
graduation sent to Bryan from the
democrats of Missouri in their state
conventions These Missourians re-
fused to make Senator Reed of that
state delegate to the convention.
They Endorsed Woodrow Wilson and
favored the league of nations coyen-
ant without destructive reserva
tions." Reed lis opposed to
league OF nations in any form. This
attitude the democrats do not APP
prove. Clearly, these Missourians
believe that Bryan is right in his
contention that the senate should
ratify the treaty. They are opposed
to obstructive reservations, but
they do believe the reservations
adopted are justifiiably classed un-
der this head. They believe Bryan
is fighting for true democracy and
they wanted to pat him on the back
and tell him to Ego to it," That
was the meaning of the message.
The full significance of the Bryan
victory means that he has succeed
ed Woodrow Wilson as a party lead
er in this country. Wilson will re-
main the nominal head of the party
in the country until the end Of his
term of office, but the sceptre Of real
power has passed into the hands
that delivered it to Wilson eight
years ago.

platform. The resolutions COM
mittee will be made up of So mem
bers. Bryan will be one of this
number All but sixteen of the So
will be dry. All the vets hope to
accomplish is to prevent an endorse
ment of prohibition. They are hope
full that nothing will be said on the
subject.
Wilson wants an endorsement of
his league of nations idea, that is, an
Endorsement of the league without
reservations. But Bryan is tired of
Wilsonian autocracy. He thinks it
is high time for the democrats of
the country to stand for majority
rule in the senate and elsewhere.
Wilson will get just what Bryan is
willing to concede in this matter.
Finally, there will come up the Sc
lection of a candidate to carry the

 CONVENTION AT 5. r.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24-Special consideration is to be given problems affecting motorcycle drivers at the great National Traffic Officers con- vention and Safety First exposition to be held in the exposition auditorium of this city, August 23 to 27. This great hall, which was used by the Democrats for their national convention. is now being put in order for the joint con vention- that will bring it's thousands of delegates to this city next month.
 "The motorcyclist has long been neglected in the drafting of regulations relative to traffic questions" declares Lieut. Dan Sylvester, head of the San Francisco police department traffic bureau and both national and state president of the traffic officers. Uni forme legislation relative to traffic problems affecting motorcyclists, auto mobilists and pedestrians will be drafted for submission to the various law-making bodies of the nation. There will also be representatives of several foreign countries present to plead for the internalization of traffic regula- tions.~
 One of the most interesting of the many tests which will feature the ex- position, will consist of a unique air brake by the Lane Airbrake company They have taken a huge space in the interior of the great auditorium and

AUTOMOBILE IS PART
 OF FARM EQUIPMENT

Farm equipment nowadays demaqds an automobile one or more, to be com plete. In the early days of the auto mobiles. farmers looking upon them as chicken killers" little realized how important they would become in the agricultural districts. We often heard automobiles described as 'city ma chimes but how different the standing of the automobile today.
 Forty-five per cent of the country's automobiles are sold to farmers and residents of small towns. In addition to the utility service rendered farmers buy the automobile, providing as 1t does quick transportation to town, the creamery or a neighbours farm, it has done much to better living conditions on the farm. Distance is eliminated and friends and relatives 50 miles away are brought near. The old buck board drawn by a willing team had it's limitations and the family rig never did permit a very long ride IL once was an event for neighbors to drive in horses tired and children sleepy, but now it is a habit, with the automobile.
 Motion pictures have been made easily accessible to the average farm CT, too. It is no task at all to drive into town with an automobile, see the show and get back speedily and with out accident. And LOO. the automobile has done and is doing considerable to keep tHe poy on tne ldTiH. IToOdDiy Iowa, of all the big farming states, has taken to the automobile more than any other state. The total number of auto mobiles in Iowa as of January l. 1920, was 349,636. Statistics tell us that the number of automobiles per capita in Iowa has practically doubled during the past five years. Iowa has one car for each six inhabitants.
 If at a given hour every inhabftant of the state would get into an automo- bile not a soul in that great state would be left hebind. That shows how the farmer has taken to the automo bile, and unless it served him in a utility way and benefited his family and added to their contentment he would perhaps move slower in accept ing it.

work much greater than is required by the Liberty factory's present size, be- ing outfitted with the most up-to-date apparatus. including the most expen- sive sterilizing equipment made, com plete surgical outfits and other hos pital accessories.
 During the year ending July l, 1920, not a single death or serious injury occurred to the many Liberty employees and all minor accidents, such as bruis es, cuts and abrasions, were promptly attended to in the hospital of the fac tory. This remarkable record is at tributed largely to the safety devices in the factory, and to the mechanical layout, which gives ample space for all operations Efficiency engineering took a hand in every detail of the laying out of the factory building and in the in o-acident record is pointed to as the result
 Another method which has helped to minimize accidents has been the use of large, effective signs throughout the ELiberty buildings and grounds. All driveways are carefully placarded and routed, to eliminate all confusion and likelihod of collisions. Wherever there might be danger of combustion, there are signs against smoking which would delight the most ardent anti -nicotinist.
 To promote the general good health of employees. special provision is made to supplying ample light and fresh air. A careful lighting system takes away by too much darkness. A special forced ventilation system has been installed which provides cold air in summer and hot air in winter

Motor industries have taken up earn estly the work of insuring safety for employees, according to pr. G. B. Car penter, the physician who looks after the injuries which occur to employees of the Liberty Motor Car company or Detroit The automobile manufactur- CTS in Detroit have undoubtedly set a pace for practically all industries, by building hospitals and first aid stations and by using countless safeguards Tn the factories. Perfection is by no means attained, he says, but great deal has been accomplished along these lines in the motor world.
 The system used by the Liberty Mo tor Car company is typical of the best in the industry, declares Miss Alive Howard, the nurse who has charge or the hospital at the Liberty factory. It was built with a generous hand, with the future in view rather than merely present needs, and is equipped for

Visitors will mark off points on the surface of the incline and the truck will start and stop accordingly. the idea being to show the dependability and safety qualities of this type of brakes.
 Non-slIid tire tests, and tests of various kinds for automobile lenses will also be included on the exposition program, according to c. Dewitt De- Mar, who is managing the exposition.

NEW STYLES MAY
 NOT BE F AVORED

It was recently announced by high authorities in the garment trade, that next fall styles of women's clothes would be so radically changed that women would be ashamed to wear their old garments.
 In times when prices were reason aable, the garment trade might per suade some millions of women to dis card clothes long before they were worn out. on the ground that they were out of style. But in these times when women haze been boiling with indignation about prices it will not be so easy Compelling them to throw away half worn clothes is just the saI,le as doubling the price.
 Mrs. Charles G. Ryan. state fair price commissioner of Nebraska, urges women to refuse to buy clothes if they change mark cdly in style or are held at high prices.
 While this policy may cause tempo raryS- ha rdship to retail trade. yet 1t would seem thas the merchants would approve of it. They suffer severely from the constant alterations of style, as they constantly have to reduce prices below costs in order to get rid of goods that are slightly passee
 The cost of women's colthins is i'm creased by the many women and girls with whom dress St,out the first consideration in fife They are anlbi- tious to shine in society and attract attention. The only way to do it that they know of. is to spend a lot of money on clothes and constantly ap pear in rich and costly novelties. Sen si'bfe women dislike these extrava- ga nres Yet sometimes 1hey- have to compete with them or appear wholly out of the game. But the body of wo- men who refuse to be dictated to by the light minded. is in a large ma jordty More and more they insist on sane and conservative and economical gfyles

WOMEN SCORED
 GREAT SUCCESS
 AS SEAL HUNTERS

Bay of Exploits. N. F., June 9-The women of Tilt Cove are the pride and the envy of the bay today. In sea- son of failure in the sealing industry they have scored a catch and kill of size. Wives and daughters succeeded where the men of the bay had failed.
 The ice was stil! running on this northern coast and the men had gone far out to find the seals that follow it. The wife of the Iightkeeper on Gull Island saw signs of the herd on the ice, sent word ashore to the women of Tilt Cove and marshalled them into a sealing crew.
 They went in boats. armed with clubs and gaffs.~ and climbed on to the ice cakes, set out to round up a catch They found the seals sprawled on all sides, and learned later that they had struck the main patch, the hope of all seal hunters.
 The women went about their work with vim and had captured or killed 10 seals when exhaustion and approaching nightfall compelled them to cease their labors and make their catch secure. When the men came back they were given the task of stripping the belts and rendering the oil.

OFFICIALS
 MAKE BIG PLANS

Jewett. Tex, June 9-Women who now hold the reins of government in Jewett have mapped out an energetic program. for their administration. They came into power at the spring election.
 Mrs. Hattie Addison is mayor and she has five sister aldermen. The only man remaining in office is the town marshal. He used to be SUD- ported by fees but the new regime put him on salary.
 The women have already started cleanup campaign. They are con- sidering street improvements and the collection of back taxes. or new taxes if necessary, to pay for them. Revis- ion of the traffic laws and enforce ment of the stock law are also pro- jected.
 The women came into office by slight ma ajorities, 20 votes in several instances being sufficient to overturn tradition.
