Difficult to Check Evil.

For instance. one Judge used to oo-
ject to hearing uncontested cases
which largely outnumber tho contest
ed cases. When It was reported that
the defendant did not answer. he
would ask why the defendant did not
answer, and would send out after the
defendant, usually husband.
This made lot of work, and the
result was usually that the man
would fail to appear in court or that
he would come In and say he had moth
ing to say NJ to the divorce. That
would leave the judge just where be
was before.

WHEAT IS NOW VERY SCARCE
 IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Sept. 27 (by Associated Press) ).-With bread selling at 25 cents a loaf and soon to be raised to 30 cents and later perhaps to 35 cents, England is harvesting this season the smallest crop of wheat since the war. Production of barley, on the other hand, will show material increase over that of the last few years.
 The reasons for this state of affairs according to Professor James Long, a we'll known agricultural expert are government control and beer. The price of wheat and oats is regulated, but no restrictions have been placed on that of barley. As the market price ofs barley is exceptionally high, far mers planted that grain instead of wheat and oats.
 Professor Long shows that since 1918 wheat has been reduced by 679,- 900 acres, or more than one-third the present area, while oats, also an i'm portant bread stuff, has fallen off by 512,OOO acres. "On the basis of wheat, " he says, this means a loss of bread grain equal to some 3S,000,OO0 bushels or sufficient to feed 7,50O,O0O persons. A curious commentary is the fact that the barley crop has considerably increased, and that in consequence beer has so far occupied the position of bread"
 The country has fewer cattle than in any year since 1903 and 5,330, ,OOO less sheep than the average of the 10 years from 1904 to 1913. The de- crease in cattle since last year IS more than 500,00O head.

RUSSIA IS KEY
 T0SITUATI0N
 ANDONLY HOPE

BUDAPEST, Sept 27 (by Associa- ted Press).-The peoples of Europe are in a dark deep pit and they must work themselves out of it, was essert- ed by Roland Hegedus, bank director and lecturer at the University of Bud apest.
 "The United States is richer than she knows but she cannot reconstruct Europe by loans," said MT. Hegedus: <'All the nations of Europe are beset with a succession of political and eco homie problems that are we'll nigh in- solvable.
 Russia is the key to the situation and until some sort of consistent gov ernment is established there, we can hope for little here. What the United States can do, perhaps, is to work to secure free trade among these Central E&ropean countries. None of us can do any business with tariff frontiers.
 ''I believe the paper money situation will force revision of the peace treaties All these little nations are living from hand to mouth, print ing up money to keep going. Poland is hardly a year old and already she has a national debt of ,000,00O,000 marks, with a 10000, 100000 deficit The same is more or less true of the Czechs of Czecho-Slovakia, in Hun gary and of all of us. The armies are eating up half of our incomes, yet each nation is afraid to disarm be- cause of possible attacks from neigh bors
 With this paper money carnival, ! Central Europe cannot trade with the countries having better moneys, such as Spain, Holland and Switzerland. This situation also applies to Italy and France.
 For the same reason our educated but impoverished classes can not go abroad to find work, provided they could secure passports,
