any justification in the state of the
supplies or the exchange position.
Speaking of the world prospects he
said; owe should do well to reali-
re that the hopes and expectations
of II months ago were founded ON
no solid basis and ought to be put
on one side l cannot understand how
it was that business men and states
men the world over were able to
take such an optimistic view of the
progress of reconstruction of a world
devastated by wal"
This was the position in several i'm
portant foodstuffs:
sugar-There is no prospect of any
immediate improvement in supplies
or prices. The world S production is
down by S,5OO,OOO tons, and the price
of sugar in America is more than five
times the pre- war price.
Wheat-In the coming II months
we are faced with reduced world
crop. In view of the shortage l am
afraid that in the absence of wiser
craftsmanship on the part of import
ing countries there will be a rise
in prices, which will be reflected in
the price of every other commodity.
Butter-There is a world shortage
due in the main to the depletion of the
dairy herds in Europe and the ces
sastion of the Siberian supply
AS Great Britain is an importing
country and lives from hand to mouth
in peace as well as war times, they
have the world supply of
foodstuffs down pat, and the state
ment of the food controller that the
sugar shortage is caused by an under
production of 100000 tons dissipates
the charges of the partisans that the
present high price of sugar is caused
Dv the democratic administration and
the profteers. The British govern
nent has hundreds of thousands of
-ons of sugar and other necessities of
ife and war essentials still stored in
France because she has not got the

CROP PROSPECTS
A. F. PARKER.

The writer rode over many miles of
prairie country last Wednesday ON a
trip to inspect the growing crops,
and found the country looking its
best and fair as the garden of the
Lord, or the Hanging Gardens of
Babylon of biblical fame. In the
neighbOrhoOd of the mission church
east of Ferdinand, probably ten per
cent of the winter wheat was killed,
but the entire absence Of grasshOp-
pers as we were advised will offset dam
age by the pest elsewhere. The sea-
son is backward of course, but while
the grain is not growing rapidly
above ground, there is compensation
in the knowledge that the roots arc
getting a good strong grip upon the
soil, thus placing it in condition to
withstand dry weather later on. Ere
quent June showers have revived
everything and a feeling of hope
fulness prevails which has been absent
for the past three years. With such
cold backward spring there is real
danger of hail storms born in the
hot weather ahead of us, during
June and July, and it is advisable
for al hands to protect themselves
by hail insurance. From present in
dications we judge that a uniform
yield of % bushels per acre should
be harvested this fall, and the pro
duction would be heavier, but for the
perilous scarcity Of farm labor for
some months past. We all may have
to don our overalls and work to har-
vest the crops later on. The Fair
view, sunnyside and Columbus dis
tricts show the very best prospects
we have seen in years, and trust
these expectations may be realized to
the full.

HIGH PRICES

The partisan hue and cry blaming
the democratic administration for the
high cost of sugar is not well founded.
In the British house of commons the
other day the food controller stated
that, "throughout the world the pre-
sent supplies of all the main food
stuffs are short and that all the
protents point to a shortage during
the next year or two" Arguing that
food control could not be dispensed
with during the world scarcity, he
instanced bacon, where the result of
decontrol was a rise of Is to % per
cent on wholesale prices, without

Why That Headache7

When you know the cause of a
disease a cure may often be effected.
This is particularly true of headache.
Headache often results from consti-
patton or disordered condition of
the stomach which may be corrected
by taking dose or two of Cham
berlain's Tablets. Try il. These
tablets are easy to take and mild and
gentle in effect. (Adv.)

BALD HEADS AT PEACE TABLE
Many Diplomats Had Wfiekcrs and
Mustaches, but Lacked Hair
on Their Craniums.

An amusing sidclight on the recent
peace conference at Versailles is
thrown by correspondent. who not
only reported the proceedings proper,
but took notes regarding the hair,
muStachcs. boards and whiskers Of the
pcncemakers
TwO-thirdS Of the delegates were
more or less bald Perhaps some Of
them made up for this by wearing
aches. Out OF 65 men who sat
round the peace table, all had mus
taches but H.
Wh!skers. on the other hand, were
not popular. Only three people wore
them. and by curious coincidence
the names Of all these three people
began with V. They were Veni2clos
OF Greece. Yandervelde OF Belgium
and VaSsitch Of Serbia. The latter's
whiskers were particularly prominent.
In regard 70 dress, there was less
formal attire than one might have
imagined. The English paid no special
attention to dress. High hats and frOck-
conts. once a combination that would
never have been sanctioned. were
quite popular; but there were some
countries which put all they knew into
their attire. These were, notably, the
Japanese and some OF the South
American states.
