BUMPER CROPS.

N produced food crops beyond the yield. This,
with surplus crops left promises enough food for
everybody with considerable TO spare, for export de-
mand Also, asserts the United states Chamber OF Com
merce these bumper crops Will lower prices.
The c. Of c. makes It clear though that these lower
prices first OF al will hit the producer the farmer lie
viii get less for his crops, because they are bumper
crops.
Ultimately the ultimate consumer may benefit by the
Increased production But the c. Of G. isn't at all posi-
tive this point.
There's quite an army OF mIddlemen between the low
price on the farm and the price the city housewife will
be asked to pay when she does her marRetine
Mddlemen will not cut prices merely because there's
plenty OF grown this They will not reduce
prices as long that food be kept from the market
But a bumper crop will make Il more dinleult to
corner the market In that inability to corner large
crop lies the main hope for lower food prices

To the Editor OF The Washington

As the American people seem to
love TO cherish and keep alive the
sayings and doings of the late
President Roosevelt, they seem to
have overlooked the fact that il
was he who organized that much
noted organization known as the
Ansnias Club.
Somehow or other that club has
been allowed to go down, notwith-
standing it had very strong mem
bership. am sure IL President
Roosevelt were here today the Ana
Mas Club would be very much alive
with a full mbership. And, as
the women have become equal to the
men in almost everything and are
out in the campaign stumping with
as good results as the men il seems
that some of them are eligible to
set apart an auxiliary to the Ana
Mas Club.
Why don't the old members get
together and reorganize that famous
old club so as TO be able to take
care of the sick and bury the dead
after November .? The time isn't
long now and it's about time to pay

And they particularly beautiful at this season.
To observe a clump of them across open field is
much like looking upon thick, luscious cluster
of Malaga grapes. They are tinged with reds
aPd yellows and puppies, and each tree is so
thick with leaves that, at a distance, it becomes
a plump oval, rich and inviting the grape.

Book Bindings.

\ widely prevailing idea that the price OF books
would be materially lower il they issued in
paper covers, has elected from an authority the
mark that in manufacturing books only cents
copy would be saved by binding them in paper in
stead OF cloth. 1t might make difference OF say
80 in the retail price OF the book but whether
that difference is great enough to much of
demand for the paper covered volumes in preference
to those bound in cloth is doubtful. Americans in
