rHEAr FOR THE WORLD

Encourarsment for the food situation ia given in the report just made public hy the densrtnent Of agriculture on the wheat yield for sixteen countries. The EEurss are better than they were e.>- tha production in 1920. Up to August 18th The wheat crop indicated was ono 5iron. nine hundred ana hfty-three million bushels, which was an increase -s seven million bushels over the pre- .-E,rr year. As the season Is now far l1vanced it is not antieipsted that re1-her conditions can make much -hange in the situation. As Russia which under normal conditions Is a vrovers of whest for export, is not in- cluded iu the report. it is apparent that the rest of the world is doing much .' make up for the shortage caused 5v the consolidation brought about in Russian agriculture under the soviet Eovsrnment-
 What this big increase means can be gathered in a way when it is realized lhat tho sixteen countries covered by tls report prosuce about fifty per cent. cs the wheat of the world What the whole crop will be of course cannot be accurately estimated until the report From the other countries k assembled, but enough is shown to make it appear that the showing will be satisfactory in comparison with 1920.

With the announcement that PPss- dent Harding has selsceed Secretary of State Hughes and Senator Lodrs as tho first two Of the American delegates to the disarmansnt conference at Wash- ngton on Nev. 11th. the high eharac ter of the men vhe will represent this country is indicated.

 For these apartments are not "5obs" in the ordinary sense-though IS matter of fact no e6ice should be look ed on Tn that light. The conference will fau pitiably unless those who partici- pate In it are qualified intellectually and morally.

WHEN THE LIGHT BROKE

ing for lives right round here at the dornlitory! Aspera Bickle is her name, she's that tall girl who doesn't cramp her feet in these horrid pinch -toed, highheeled pumps and wears sensible long skirts and doesn't spoil her hair with marcel waving. She is taking so- cialogy and writes out the neatest cards classifying people and can talk about the most remarkable things never heard of, and couldn't remember if I had!~ She

What I mean is that I am resolved not to lose my head and hamper my career by marrying some silly little thing with her mnid full of nothing but good times, and who can't do anything useful; Naturally I should prefer some amount of good~lo looks, but they aren't | important. I never think of a girl s looks especially, particularly if she interests me, and she must have a brain to do that"
 l T suppose it is Percuta Sammon. i. then" the mischievous girl said with tiny sigh. Every one says she has the most remarkable brain"
 And the biggest feet around here, l the serious young man said tartly. "Whatever made you think I was in- terested in Percuta, of all lemons?''
 Just because I am so silly and stu pid, I suppose" the mischievous girl said. shaking her golden head apole- getically T really haven't any brains you know, Horace. I think it is so good of you to spend time talking to me as you do,and trying to develop my character-"

 Well, you've guessed wrong there" the serious young man informed her. as he finished fastening her skates and they struck out down the Mid way.

 "Oh thank you!" the mischievous girl said, with becoming confusion. T didn't know you were such a clever flatterer, Horace!

vALUATToN, OF wTAlRrs

Though much has been said for and against the se-called American valua- ticn provision of the FordnSy tariff bill, the discussion has beeE limited almost entirely t6 economic ana adninistra- tive aspects of the question. Now, how ever, . prominent New York lawyer has raised . legal issue, which, doubt less, the finance c0HhnSittes Of the Unit. ed States senate will duly consider.
 The tsrfm act of 1888 contained provision to the effect thah in the year 1s42 all duties should be reduced to 2 uniform rate of 20. per cent. and be levied upon nome valuations' instead of foreign. When the year 1a42 arrived difficulties were eneodntered by the kov- ernment in carrying out the tariff act as written, and Daniel Webster, then secretary of state, was consulted about some of thSn. He favored . revisi6n of the act and the elimination of the American valuation feature. In support of his position he gave the following reason:
 The undersigned suggests in the first place, the great if not i1surmountaSle, difficulties Of est4bhahinE honhS valuA- tion at any port without running the risk of producing such diversity in the estimates of <yalue as shah not only lead to great practical inccnverience, hut interfere also, in effect, with the constitutional provision that duties and imposts shah De equal In all states"
 The opinion of the greate defender of the constitution" was accepted as au- thoritative and the American valuation provision was repealed.
 been collected Sn the basis of foreign valuation.
 If in 1S42 diversity vas a serious objection from both legal and practical points of view, how much more serious is that objection todayi The country $ growth has been enormous. There are many more commercial centers, and in- evitably the differences in home prices are wider and greater. Is the basis of home valuation to be the New York price of given commodity, the Pitts burgh price, the Chicago price, the St Louis price, the New Orleans price, the San Francisco price or tfiS Seattle price?
 There Is nc uniform home price and there can be no single basis for valu- alton. Yet all duties and imposts must be equal throughout the United States The advocates of the horne valuation idea have yet to meet the constitutional argument.

versity decided to receive no mo-e women into Adelbert college. That the success of the new school might be assured, the faculty of Adelpert col lege generously offered their services for a term of years as instructors. During the first year twenty-three young wo- men were admitted but two of whom were in the regular courses.
 The latest report of the United States Commissioner of Education contains sev- eral hundred institutions for the su- perior education of women. The list includes colleges and seminaries entitled to confer degrees and few seminaries who's work is of equal merit, which do not give degrees. Of these more than two hundred institutions for the educa- ton of women exclusively, only forty seven are situated within western states. Of these forty-seven but thirty are chartered psh authority to confer degrees.

WHAT NoRMALcY IS

The English conviction, revealed at the international meeting of chambers of commerce, that business "nornalcy" may be expected in "six or seven years need not be diseoneertinE, be- cause the ttrces of this recoery will not be unendurable, and they may be like an illness which, By restraining a gor- nand to simple diet. adds years to his life.
 The question, What is normaiey'? Is not answerable in | sentence. War markets can not return, unless with an- other war. Whatever "normalcy" may be it is not that. Neither is 1t the anomaly of high wages and low cost of food, fire, shelter and clothing, for which so many seem te sigh longingly. "Normalcy" must always be much of a variable, easier to grasp in principle than to define in words In principle, it ought to be good balance in the dis tributien of labor and reward.
 A will to work and a ruling deternain- ation to make work provide sustenance the homely and excellent habit of liv- Ing within the workers mkans-doubt- 'VSS ~lV lHe DeSt IL they Uc nut the only means to regain that balance that the war destroyed. Justice and injustice in prices there gre, and probably will continue to be, but lament at uncon- scionable prices is beside the matter. The material in almost any article of exchange Is only an item sometimes a negligible item, in the computation of It's cost, wherefore the infinite variety of prices. Admenitions to thrift and dil- gence were of slight avail while the orgy of high wages lasted. Now ne- cessity speaks and people must listen There is no royal road to 'normalcy, ' but there is another, old. rugged, un- paved, yet psssable. It is the way oi work of sound economy, and willing ness to be worthy of oNe's hire.

God wishes us to retain our in dividuality, and not strive to look like some one else.
