CROP PROSPECTS AND PRICES.

The department of agriculture announces
confirmation of crop estimates made a month
ago. Among other things the report says
there is prospect of 100000 bushels of
wheat on an acreage of 10 per cent that of
last year. This yield will be sufficient to
meet domestic demands and leave surplus
for expectation But there may be little
foreign demand, France, for instance, hav-
ing 100000, 900 bushels in prospect, while
other countries needing to make up deficits
will ask competitive bids. 1t begins to look
as though there would be plenty of wheat
at lower prices.
Reports indicate bumper corn crop and
an average of rye and oats. The only crop
that does not promise a large yield is cot
ton, the prospect being put at only 10000
900 bales.
While there is from crop reports reason
able expectations for lower food prices
lhere might be prospects of higher clothing
lrices if silk and wool were not declining in
value. The bottom has dropped out of the
silk market, and the demand for. wool no
where equals the supply Eventually this
may affect cotton goods, which are now
Welding the manufacturers immense prof
its-profts that are out of all proportion to
the prices paid the growers for the raw
material.

RATIONING SUGAR.

If there really is such shortage OF the
sugar supply as to necessitate ratlonlng
there can be no reason to protest. If, how
FEVER, rationing is part of the plan to give
700 100000 pounds of sugar to the can
neries then there is reason for protest. II
preference is to be shown any one it should
be to the housewife, who, practicing thrift
preserves fruit for use in the winter.
1t is a question whether or not there is
an actual shortage of sugar. Reports from
Cuba as we'll as from other sugar producing
countries seem to indicate a plentiful sup
ply if prices are high enough to satisfy Re-
Gently the president of Cuba was reported
to have said that it was only matter OF
the United States outbidding Europe. Ac-
cepting this report as authentic one is
forced to the conclusion that speculation is
still at the bottom of sugar scarcity.
When speculation levies tribute and pre-
vents thrift it is time for drastic action.
Cuban profiteers may be beyond reach, but
American spectators are within reach.
There ought to be way to confiscate their
boarded sugar and distribute it to the
housewives of the country for preserving
purposes.

High Cost of Government.
From the Minneapolis Journal.


Part of the high cost of living results
from the high cost of government, and the
proportion of the living cost attributable to
government cost is large indeed.
We once could afford the most extrava-
giant government on earth; but even in
those plethoric years before the war we
were not called on to support such waste
and such costs as now, nearly two years af-
ter the war. There is to be no national
budget for still another season; there is to
be no scaling down of expenses and elimi-
nation of surplus motives until at least af-
ter the fourth of next March.
And we shall not get relief then, unless
we choose for president man of admins
trative talent and business habit, who will
shake up the ramshackle governmental
plant. Modernize the plant, reduce over
head to something reasonable, keep books,
stop leaks, cease political appropriations
that would reduce our present costs might
lily.
Gen. Charles G. Dawes, who was a form
er comptroller of the currency and has
lately come home from the war, says there
~ too much demagoging and inefficiency
everywhere, in municipalities, in states, in
Washington.
Chicago cannot find money to pay it's
clerks, police, fremen and teachers enough
wages, but it can pay for waste, inefficiency,
extravaganza.

'Aristocrat of the Bird Family.

All members of the jay family are famed
for their wit. The jay-often plumber
er-is the intellectual of the bird world and
is aristocratic, autocratic and domineer-
ing-the acknowledged superior of other
birds. He is handsome, wearer of bright
clothes, and acts and looks the part that
should go with royal purple. The European
jay runs to the reddish; the American or
eastern jay is light blue; fellow down by
the Rio Grande wears green; while the cock
of the family-the wit of wings-is the
stellar or long crested JAY clad in deep blue
with jet black crest and head and touches
of turquoise, purple and black on wings
and tail. The handsome long-crested or
stellar jay inhabits all the mountain ranges
of western North America and is one of
the lords of the earth. He is a character
second to none in the entire bird world He
lis brilliant, wise, versatile and aggressive.
This jay is eternally, efficiently vigilant. If
there comes new food to his locality he takes
possession before other birds discover it; if
new danger, he will be the first to detect
lit; if opportunity for fun, he first uses it;
but if there is nothing doing he it is who
gets busy and has something doing soon.

Maid on the Copper Penny.

The government of the United States in
1885 made an offer of 81, 900 for the most
acceptable design to be placed on the new
cent coin to be issued. Some Indian chiefs
travelled from the northwest to Washington
to visit the Great Father and then jour
neyed to Philadelphia to see the mint, whose
chief engraver was James Barton Longacre,
who invited them to his home. The engrav-
er's daughter, Sarah, aged ten, very much
enjoyed the visit of her fathers guests and
during the evening, to please her, one of
the chiefs took off his feathered helmet and
war bonnet and placed it on her head. In
the company was an artist, who Immediately
sketched her and handed the picture to her
father. Mr.. Longacre, knowing of the COM
petition for likeness to go upon the cent
projected, under the inspiration of the hour
resolved to contend for the prize offered by
the government. To his delight the off
cials accepted his and the face of his daugh-
ter appeared upon the coin which was cir
culated about the nation for nearly a CEN
fury. There were more than a hundred
competitors. The cent bearing the face of
Sarah Longacre has gone into more hands
than any other American coin.

THE SCHOOL TEACHERS.

The closing of the schools and colleges
throughout the country during the last few
weeks again calls attention to the needs of
this immense army of people to whose care
the future of the individual as well as the
nation is entrusted for nine months every
year. There are 647,172 teachers in the
United States, of which number 562, 1874 are
teachers in the elementary grades and 84,-
988 are teachers in high schools. Most of
these people have been employed for the
ensuing year. But the time is opportune
to call the public attention to the work
which the half million men and women in
the public schools have completed. There
may be disappointments in the scholarship
of the boy or girl. There may be dissatis-
faction with the way the children in the
grades were instructed But the merits of
the teachers lie in whether they have con-
scientiously and capably striven to make
the best possible finished product out of the
rough stone turned over to them The
teachers are not derelict in their duty if the
boy or girl registers low in their natural
ability That is either the fault of heredi-
tary or of Indifferent parenthood. The test
is whether the teacher has done the best
possible with the child as she found it.
The average salary for elementary teach
ers in 1918 was 5000 year. The average
salary for high school teachers was $1,031
Trades which require no mental training
and in which there are no responsibilities
above those of the physical performance OF
the tasks command higher wages than are
paid those charged with the responsibility OF
child development.
| The question for the parents to decide
during these vacation days, when the re
sponsibility of child supervision during the
entire day rests upon them, is whether the
public is not invoking dangerous penalty
by declining to pay teachers such salaries as
will keep those competent for the work OF
the job rather than have the ranks filled
with those who are unable to make good il
any other vocation and turn to teaching as
stepping stone to something else.

THE WOMEN DELEGATES.

The women delegates to the Chicago and
the San Francisco conventions acquitted
themselves with credit. They were having
their first experience with the stormy and
turbulent side of politics They discovered,
if they did not already know, that the game
is sometimes rough and red blooded. But
they played it with the steady nerves of ex-
perienced politicians. They were neither
suueamish nor hysterical. They did not de-
mand privileges because of their sex or be-
cause of their near admission to full elector-
ate powers. They accepted their places and
played their parts as though they were men
delegates They asked no favors and ex-
pected no tempering of the battle to pre-
conceived sensibilities They kept their
poise. even in the artificial demonstrations
which were staged, not to influence dele
gates but to set the gallery tongues wag-
ging that the outside gossip might be re-
fiected on the delegates when changing po-
sitons.
The women who spoke from the rostrum
of the conventions created a more favora-
BILE impression because of the merits of their
efforts and the logic of their arguments
than many of the men orators did 1t has
been expected that the admission of women
to the deliberations of party conventions
would change these gatherings into unend-
ing word factories. But, if the common
sense displayed by the speakers at both of
the national conventions is any criterion by
which to judge, that part of politics will be
left to the men, where it has been since con-
troversial assemblages were first instituted.
The women have taken little part in the
councils of civilized nations in the past but
they are coming into their own with an
ability and intelligence that shows they are
prepared to sustain their new responsible
ties with credit.

The Only Swinging Monument.

Gently swaying to and fro a huge gran
lite monolith forming unique natural mon
ument has been discovered on Green noun
tain, several miles north of Canon City,
Col 1t is believed to be the only Swing
ing monument" in the world. The shaft is
more than 100 feet high and in the course
of many years has become free from all
surrounding earth formation except at the
base, which is about II feet wide. In the
center the granite column is about SO feet
in thickness and tapers off to width at the
summit practically the same as at the base
The entire shaft moves probably from two
to three feet at the apex and the swing is
constant under the pressure of light winds.
The base of the shaft rests in a small hol-
low about three feet in depth and the con-
tiguous granite formation has been entirely
disconnected.

Romance of Marshall Islands.

One of the most interesting settlements
in the world is that of Leigieb in the ex-
IRENE north of the Marshall islands in the
Pacific, close to the equator. Fifty years
ago a young Portuguese grandee, on trip
of adventure around the world, arrived at
Honolulu and there made the acquaintance
of a young German trader. They formed a
partnership to trade with the natives of the
Marshalls and, buying a hundred ton
schooner loaded her with clean and snowy
goods pleasing to the islanders of those
days, these young traders succeeded in ex-
ercising a great power over the natives by
the introduction of soap and mirrors on the
islands. The great wonders of the accom-
plishments of these Europeans in exhibiting
the mirror was told throughout the Mar
shalls and the traders did much trade in CO.
coanut oil, becoming wealthy in few years.
Both, however, had lost their hearts to the
two daughters of the king, who, being an
extensive landowner, promised on the mar
riage of his daughters to the young traders
to give between them the large lagoon of
Leigieb. A German missionary was brought
from the Caroline islands and the traders
were married to the dusky princesses amid
much rejoicing. From these marriages the
half-caste settlement of Leigieb had its be-
ginning and is today one of the most pros
porous lagoons of the Marshalls There are
schools and churches, the people are well
educated and many white men, traders and
sailors, have married into the families, all
sharing equally the work and profits of the
vast cocoanut plantations.

Europe Must Save Itself.


Europe in the main must save itself; that
is quite true. 1t is true also that extrav-
agent expectations of aid from America
have done harm by delaying the painful but
necessary first steps toward economic re-
construction. The possibility of tapping
the present wealth of the United States has
unfortunately kept alive the illusion that
the costs of the war could be saddled upon
Germany, so that the victors could continue
to spend on the old scale. The sooner this
illusion can be dispelled the better, and
while the emphatic rejection bv the Amer
lean business world of proposals of this
sort may, be bitterly resented it is not I'M
kind. Help in continuing little further
on the road to ruin would be no kindness
but cruelty.

NIGHT RAIN

A short while before sunset a dark, sug-
gestive promontory of clouds took posses
sion of the western skyline. 81 guess we
are going to get some tonight" remarked
the old settler, shifting his quid of tobacco
to free the flow of his utterance. Before
midnight the lightning was darling ominous-
1y. As the hands of the clock pointed to-
wards the enshadowed zenith the first low
clarion of thunder shattered the expectant
stiffness. Steadily the flashing and uproar
increased in brilliancy and volume. The
trees responded to gathering breezes. Then
came the intermittent patter, quickening to
a tumult of sound, musical embracing,
Asoothing A night rainstorm was under
WAY.

WASTE OF PUBLIC MONEY.

The Bib county grand jury, in their pre-
sentiments last week, called attention to the
constantly increasing tax burden, and the
growing tendency to spend money illegally
on fads and movements of various kinds
Says the Bibb county grand jurors:
"Progressives, so-called, and reform
ers are urging every fad that their
vivid imaginations can conjecture as
another step in the march of progress.
None of them justify prodigal expen-
diture of public funds. These things
cost money-and are adding to the
heavy burden of taxes which is grind
ing our people into the dust Taxes
for the state and county and city are
already in excess of three per cent and
will be this fall, we are informed, 3.27
per cent. Tax money is a fiduciary
trust levied for public purposes as pre-
scribed by law, and for nothing else,
and nobody has the right to expend
one cent of it for investment, progress,
enterprise or charity"
The Bib county grand jury is right. L
is high time that halt was called on the
custom of giving away the peoples ia,
money-state, county and municipal-fo1
the various causes and movements" L
is unwarranted and clearly illegal and il
piling up the tax burden higher and higher
every year Those who are responsible
should take heed, as a day of reckoning will
surely come.
