! WHEAT STRIKE is
{ G JAILED SUICIDE.
FOR FARM E RS

(Reprinted from Forbes Magazine
Night riders are busy in the cot
ton belt burning and destroying and
threatening and terrorizing with a
view to coercing growers not to
market their cotton until some arti-
ficially inflated price is brought
about; and the Wheat Growers as,
ISOLATION of the United States, com
posed of 10000 farmers, are launch
ing a bold poject of conspiracy to
hoard wheat until So bushel can
be realized
Nothing could be more futile,
nothing more untimely, nothing more
fraught with danger to the conspira-
tors. Leaving aside any ethical or
legal considerations, such action is
tragically shortsighted since it IS
bound to fail.
Surely the ruinous aftermath of
strong-hand e-boosting methods
has been sufficiently driven home
by recent events.
Cuba INDUCED in a glorious orgy
of boosting; today a morato-
rum rules in Cuba, the suspension
of payments having been brought
about by the bursting of the sugar
bubble.
Brazil once embarked upon an ex-
tremely ambitious project to wa
lorize" coffee, a maneuver which,
unfortunately, received the financial
support of the National City Bank
of New York and other powerful in
interests; Brazil paid dearly for her
attempt to overthrow the economic
law and the coffee trade is today in
distress.
Silk growers in Japan, finding an
abnormal demand from American
silk shirts, held out for ridiculous
prices for their product, raw silk
multiplying in price five or six
times; the usual sequel occurred and
Japan has not vet recovered from
the financial and business panic which
her avarice invited.
Our own sugar dealers squeezed
US numerically, and now they are
begging for mercy, pleading that if
they are held to their contracts they
will be ruined-as the most unscrup-
ulous among them deserve to be-
American farmers ought to be far
too level-headed to be misled by the
exhortations of windy leaders utter
ly devoid of economic sense and ut
terly ignorant of economic experien-
ces. Could a large enough number
of farmers be induced to join the
conspiracy to withhold supplies from
the market, the price of wheat I'M
ouestionably would be inflated tenn
porarily But the greater the "suc-
cess" of the price-bOosting tactics,
the more certain would become a
subsequent collapse. 4
Canada has wheat which she would
be delighted to dump into this mar
ket as somewhat less than SO bush
ell while their misled American agri-
cultural brothers were holding the
umbrella Australia also would like
to get SO a bushel for wheat here.
So would every wheat-growing coun-
try in the world-and there are quite
a few of them. When the bubble
burst it would be found that for
eigners had reaped a rich harvest at
the expense of American farmers.
American farmers, don't be mis-
led into taking suicidal step.

THE TRUTH ABOUT IRELAND.

much under her heel, economically

From reading accounts day by
day Americans are apt to get the
idea Irish streets are flowing with
blood.
Far from it. During the day time
there are few outward evidences that
Ireland is under complete military
domination. The crowds of people
that fill the streets in ecery city, and
town are not sullen and downcast,
but, on the contrary, good-natured,
extremely polite and sociable to
strangers.
Business men, however, tell me
business i spoor. The country is
practically free of tourists.
The movie theatres everywhere
are crowded of evenings and to hear
the roars of laughter and applause
that greet the antics of Charlie
Chaplin or Doug Fairbanks on the
screen, one could easily conclude the
Irish people hadn't care in the

YOU remember the story. A Jar, and within
Was imprisoned Genie (some called him Diinn)
And careless Fisherman loosed the stopper
Not knowing his action dashed improper,
and the Genie seeped out, so huge and high
He blotted the Fisherman's earth and sky,
And the Fisher escaped the spirits wrath
BY inducing the Dim to retrace his path.
Till, when the poor devil had proved he could,
The Fisherman corked him up--for good
Well, Fate is the Fisher and here we are
Each of us out of his gene-iar
And we swell around at wondrous rate
And threaten destruction to brighten Fate
BY growing forever and then-and then
We're induced to creep into the jar again,
And the Fisherman shoppers out final breath,
And the jar is Body whose Cork is Death
Who can finish the tale, and resolve the doubt
Does ever the Genie again get out?

FRISCH LOOKED UPON
 AS A SPEED WONDER
Expected to Take Laurels From
 Max Carey of Pirates.
Admirers of Fordham College Youth Say He 10 Going to Be Fastest Man ln National League ln 1920
 --Lobert HoIds Record.

Who is the fastest man in the Ma tional league? Had that question been asked at the opening of the 1918 season the vote would have been unanimously for Max Carey of the Pirates, but now Carey's title is being questioned. Admirers of Frank Frisch. the Tordham college youth, who broke in with the New York Giants in 1918. say he is going to prove in 1920 that he has 1t on Carey in footwork. He made a record in college as . sprinter.
 Until Max Carey sprang into prom thence the fastest man in the National league was Hans Lobert. To this day LObert holds couple of National league records for speed. In field day competition at Cincinnati on Octo- Der 12, 1912, Lobert circled the bases in 1S 4-5 seconds. On the same date Lo- bert tied for first place in 1O0yard dash. His rival was Vincent Campbell then of the Pirates.
 Campbell was another fast man who probably would be in the big leagues today if he cared for baseball. He was a big fellow who could hit, run

Sports of All Kinds
 in Brief
FIGHT FANS WANTED MURDER
Winner of Bout at Fargo, N. D., Com pelIed to Knock Out He An
 tagonist Twice.

Many old-time fighters are worried lest the mitt game degenerate into a pink tea and chiffon proposition. However, battle was pulled off in Fargo, N. D., not long ago, that would have satisfied the most bloodthirsty. A fight had been staged between Labe Safro. . clever welterweight of Minne- apolis, and an unnamed fighter of more or less ability.
 It took Safro one round to feel out his opponent and in the second stanza he waded in and in short time had the Unknown at his mercy and cleanly knocked him out In the second.
 Fargo fight fans want their moneys worth and hOwled for more. They wanted more than a knock out; they were anxious for murder. It didn't particularly matter to them which fighter was killed, they wanted action.
 To satisfy the crowd the manage ment induced the fighters to go back in the ring. In fact Safro was told he must continue the fight or there

The Railroad A. c. expects to have Lou Bogash and Jack McNulty for their star bout in their coming show next month.

 The Y. D. Club, which includes Duke Rowley, Red Quinn, Dan McNamara and bunch of our best senli-pros., are to have fast team on the diamond this season. Wonder will Mike O'Connor be manager and promoter?

 Safro was master at all times and after Adding around for a few sec. 0nds sent over punch that carried with it full strength of his powerful shoulders and sent the Unknown clear through the ropes and into the strug- 'gling and bowling spectators. He was so far done for, that there was no chance for further lighting. The fans were satisfied.

 Talking of brutal fights and fight CTS" said Tom leaning back, they're not as brutal as the writers make them. Why, Jim Jeffries was an old lady about himself" piped Tom with laugh. be just so himself before he'd box at them, but he was fidgety and crabby about his condition. When he first came East he was to box Bob Arm strong and Steve O'Donnell on the same night at my club. He met Arm strong for 10 rounds and won, but re- fused to take on O'Donnell and you re- member, I guess, how the papers banned him. They called him lobster and everything else He injured his thumb against Armstrong and simply WOULD NOT BOX AGAIN that night. He wasn't right for HIMSELF.
 Jeff was great fighter. l say that. | told him that ODOnnell was spread. He couldn't fight. George Dixon had licked him in gymnasium only week before, because O'Donnell had done something to him. Nothing could move Jeff, though. He didn't go on.
 Later, when he met and won from Fitzsinmons all the wise boys put their rolls on Fitz. bet on Jeff myself and cleaned up. He was right against Fitz, too. They say i'that lFitz was drinking the night that Jeff knocked him dead. No such thing at all. He was right. The old left hand of Jeff's fixed him. He. was PUNCH DRUNK the first time Jeff hit him right, you can be sure of that"
