All Nations Eat Wheat.

chased In almost any size or shape
big loaves and little, large rolls and
small, and n multitude of fancy
shapes. The vendors of bread In this
country display their wares out OF
doors, In baskets and on tables.
The big rye loaves sold on the East
Side of New York, in the crowded
tenement districts, are so large that
they are frequently cut and sold by
the pound. II Is almost as much as

loaves home, and If he is required I,

and the theory has been advanced
that Ii Is descendant of wild en-
mer," traces of which are found even
today among the rocks of upper Gall

Enough of these grains were gathered
from the wheat fields of the United

The staff OF Life.
Bread has rightly been called the
stnff Of life, the staff upon which
strong nations lean. And, whereas
we have cultivated the taste for some
foods now more or less In common
use, we did not have to learn to cut
wheat--it came ms naturally as the

have been born with II liking for
bread. and to eat It once Is to desire
II ever afterward.
We have heard the title "kingi ap-
piled to corn, hut rightly 1t belongs
to wheat; for wheat contains all the
fifteen essential elements of nutri-
tion and there Is probably no one
other article OF food which will carry
man so far or SO we'll.
The people of the United States are
naturally great wheat eaters. The
average per capita, after the gralI
has been turned into flour, is five
bushels year. 1t was In this coun
try that wheat-raislng received III

It was the reaper that made grea

fruit shipped in twenty-five
days, as against $50 cars in the
same period last year, and this
is but one of many straws of a
coming revival in railroad trans
portation. The facts are that
the shelves are bare all over the
country; the railroads must soon
begin carrying goods on a large
scale. And the next step will
be the revival of railroad orders.
The chief obstacle to trade is
the continued high cost of build

The land owners and bloated
bandholders of England have
been fighting the Irish ever
since we became a reader. The
Irish are occupying a little terri
tory called Ireland but it is not a
republic, but governed by Eng
land. The Irish want to live in
a free country and govern it
themselves, and we can see no
good reason why this right is
denied them. Neither can we see
that to make Ireland a republic,
that England would suffer. 1t
is nonsense to say that the Irish
can not govern their country if
given a chance. There are plen-
ty of O'Connors and Parnells
living yet. Men of that charac-
ter have as much or more
patronism than the bond holders
of England.

Geo. Gowdy, President Of the
Turnpike Company from Colum-
bia to Muldroughs Hill, some
years ago gave Adair county this
end of the pike, running beyond
Coburg, provided the county
would keep it up, and it should
be done. In going from this
place to Campbellsville you can
tell when you strike the Taylor
county end, for it is kept in good
condition. Instead of keeping
up the Adair end, it gets worse
all the time, and the injustice is
in having toll gates on this badly
piece of road. The wagoners,
the automobile men. the drivers
of buggies are all complaining.
Repair the road.

In the last issue of the News
we published a short editorial,
giving a man or a woman's right
to vote in the general election.
Some of the candidates are fear
full that our meaning was not a
clear as it should have been, and
requested that. "a more emphatic
statement be made. Here it is;
A Republican has no right to
vote in a Democratic primary,
even should he obligate himself
to support the nominee. A
Democrat can not vote in a Re-
publican primary. should he eRee
to vote for:.the nominee. In the
general November election man
or a woman can vote as they
please. We hope this will be
satisfactory to all concerned.

A Western Congressman asks
why it is that,weEmust wait for
France to pay us the money she
owes. In the first place we are
willing to wait to convenience a
former ally. In the second place,
France cannot pay, without seri-
ously embarrassing herself, until
she cashes in some of the Ger
man indemnity bonds, and hears
something about the vast sums
that are owing to her in Russia.
France will pay in the end. The
debtor with whom we are des-

two candidates, a Democrat, who
