PLENTY NEXT DOOR"
Record Harvest Predicted for
Canada.

After having made careful sur
vey of the wheat producing area OF
the United States, experts whose bust
ness il is 10 keep the people informed
on the acreage sown to foodstuffs
state. that this year there will be
falling off in the wheat production I'm
the States, due 10 considerably less
area cultivated. The opinion of these
experts is that the decrease Will be
several hundred million bushels OF
wheat less than in previous years,
which according TO past experience
will he scarcely sufficient TO meet the
requirements Of the demands of the
people Of this country.
In Canada, however. the situation
is different. Reliable reports on the
crop situation throughout Western
Canada are such as to create the most
substantial optimism. Never before
were the prospects so encouraging for
bumper harvest. 1t is predicted
that the yield this year will be even
greater than in 1915, the year of the
record harvest in Canada, when the
total production was 393,542,6O
bushels Not only is the wheat looking
excellent, but the same is true of oats,
barley and fax, Of which greatly
increased acreage has been sown in
the great grain producing provinces of
Canada.
The rains that have fallen recently
have come at the right time to stimu-
late growth and there is now consider
able moisture in the ground. With
the world generally facing a shortage
Of wheat and continued heavy de-
mand for it, the price is likely to be
maintained at the present high figure.
In many districts corn has been more
extensively planted than in previous
years and il is looking remarkably
well. Many settlers from the United
States who came 10 Western Canada
and bought improved farms in the
early spring have every prospect Of
n crop yield that will give them re-
turn sufficiently large, after paying
all current expenses, TO pay Off a large
part of their capital investment.
Livestock is in excellent condition
everywhere, the rains having induced
good growth of grass.-Advertiso
ment.

World in Danger From plague.

Danger from plague-infeTed ports
in the Mediterranean is pointed out
by Doctor Beaumetz of the Pasteur in
stitute, who says that reports show a
recrudescence of the plague, especially
in Syria, Saloniki, Alexandria and Con-
stantinople, where energetic measures
are being taken, especially for the pro-
lection Of allied troops. Doctor Beau.
metz expresses the opinion that the
plague will not become general. but
urges strict sanitary measures at
French ports.

ANALYSIS OF SOVIET RULE
Cold Reasoning Easily Proves FalIacy

Stone.
Article XXI.
BY FRANK coMERFoRp.

Lenine has frequently observed that
representative government is fail
ure. He has insisted that the demo-
cratic form of government is de-
bauched and destroyed by the political
machine; that political corruption We
toes the will of the people. If Lenine
is right in this conclusion, then the
bOlshevik government in Russia offers
just from three TO five times as much
chance for political corruption as our
own form Of government. II II Is dan
gerous for the. American people to
entrust their business TO an agent
whom they directly elect and who is
directly responsible to them, how
much more dangerous must Ii be TO
turn over the public business to IL
men appointed by central executive
committee, the members OF which
have been appointed by an All-Russian
congress, which All-RuSsian congress
is elected by soviets for whom the
people did not vote? Applying this
plan TO our own government, our con-
gress would be elected by the state
legislatures and the aldermen of the
cities, then this congress so elected
would pick an executive committee Of
900, and this committee would elect
II commissioners to whom would be
given the supreme power OF the state,
both legislative and executive power,
the right to make laws, and the au-
thority TO enforce the laws.

was used by the Governors Office for
law enforcement for 1919. If he had
examined the budget report he would
have found that more than $27 900
was used for this purpose, but, since
according to the view Of the commits
sioncr of agriculture the violations
Of the liquor law affect only few

would probably be consistent with his
position to ask for a smaller sum than
was used last year for the enforce

News to Governor
at was news to me, however, that
only few hundred persons were af-
fccted by the enforcement or the pro-
hibition law. The peace, happiness

that the federal government is to as
Sist the State in the enforcement Of
the law The records will show that
the contrary is true. The State has

The cluX Of the whole matter is stated
however, by the commissioner when
he says again say that this depart

ARE YOU NERVOUS Z?

Many who suffer from backachc and
weak kidneys are unnaturally irrit-
able, fretful and nervous. Not only
does constant backache "gct on the
nerves." but bad kidneys fail to eli
inmate Ill the uric acid from the sys-
tenn, and uric acid irritates the nerves,
keeping one con edge" and causing
rheumatic, neuralgia pains. When
suffering so, try Doan's Kidney Pills,
the medicine SO well-rccommcnded by
Manning people. Read this Manning

/ we are! glad to be corrected It seems
70 ME that the proper course would
have been to lay this mater before a
committee Of the General Assembly
with full information, SO that the
injury don the department might be

Fourth Complaint
"In the fourth complaint, it is
stated, 4 have observed with some in
tcrcst that the two department of
the State government which are clos
est to the budget commission namely,
the governors Office and the COM
troller generals office are of the Of
fees which 'lave been served most
generously ut the lands Of the com
mission
'Upon this point, / have no COM
mcnt, except in so far as it parallels
the work Of my own Office. For in
stance, the governors office is given
$4,000 for the law enforcement in
1920 although the statements of that
office show that less than $4,000 ras
used in 1919 and it is q well known
fact that the federal government
will assist in law enforcement in this
State in 1920 am assuming however.
that the Governor is right in asking
for this large amount of money for
his Office. He knows the requirements
and his is the responsibility. But if
he needs that large sum for the en-
forccment of liquor law, the vio-
lations of which affect only a few
hundred persons, why should this de-
partment be denied sufficient funds for
the enforcement of several protective
laws committed to it, laws that affect
fully Is per cent Of our people.
"Thc commissioner does not do me
the justice to state that did not
participate iii the recommendations
for the Governors office, nor does he
state that the $4,000 is for the en-
forcement Of al laws of the State,
including the game and fish laws Prac
tlcally $4,000 was spent during the
past year in the enforcement of the
fish and game laws. He is also in
