SOCIALISTS UPHOLD
 STRIKE AS THEORY
But Say Its Use in the United States Would Be Greatest
 Folly.

Detroit, June 29.-The Socialist na- tional convention endorsed the gen eral strike as a theory and "a power- ful weapon of the working class" but declared it's advocacy in the United States under present conditions would be folly. An attempt to authorize use of the political strike to force repeal or passage of legislation was voted down: constructive criticism" of la Dor unions from within was adopted as party policy, and resolution call ing for survey of radical and labor organizations to determine how many would cooperate in the Socialist movement was passed.

 The tremendousness of our corn crop -three-fourths Of that of the word accounts, adds the banks statement. for the facl that we have far more swine than any other country, for S@ine are the most convenient process of trans forming corn into human food. espec- ially for exportation, and corn is the most useful food for swine. except for the production of the bacon hog which Is chiefly fed on the smaller grains, wheat, rye, barley. etc, with an admix- ture of dairy products. and as conse- quence the "bacon hog producing areas are those lying north of the corn belt Of the world but producing ample sup plies of the sma grains above named. This close relation Of the number of swine to the supply of corn as their best food for fattening purposes has resulted
 In a growth in the number of swine In the United States coincidentai with the growth in corn production and as con sequence the United States alone has about one-haf of the swine of the world while 1t produces about three-fourths of

Jail Hill's Answer

Sporting Editor, Norwich Bulletin,
 In Fridays edition of the Norwich Bulletin. the Judeans give their so- called reasons for not accepting the Jail Hill A. C.'s challenge.
 First of all they claim that their records, not their talk, secure for them the 140 pound title.
 Now, Mgr. Hyatt, I see you have re- duced your list of victories from sev- en to five. If you look at your score book you will find that your list of vic- tories are only four, all inferior teams. How many city teams have you play ed? To date only two, one of whom met defeat. Jail Hill has played the All Stars, Anchor A. c. and your team. Have you beaten any of the first two teams? I guess our record speaks for us here.
 Now you claim as an excuse your team does not intend to play all win ter.
 We have been challenging you for about four weeks but you stall Now Judeans, for the second time we challenge you to a game for Sun day, to be played at your grounds, re- gardless of weather conditions. Ju- deans show your colors. Remember a 40 pound team must play. If you claim the championship you should be willing to defend it. If you do not de- fend 1t Sunday the championship is ours.
 Hoping that you will accept oul 1 challenge by calling 1048-2 betweeT ! l2 and l p. m. Saturday. We remain yours in sport, John Thompson Mgr. Al Illinger, Capt.

Corn gained 3-S a 1-2 to 5-s, and oat: Is to 38. In provisions the outcem, varied from five cents decline to a like upturn.
 Wheat prices showed considerable firm nes sin ths early trading. and this fact was ascribed chiefly to sHbsezce of mois ture where most needed in the southwest Some notice was also taken of estimate that wheat acreage in France is thirty per cent. less than last years dstal. Buy CTS, however, failed to become at all ag- Dgressive, and with warnings out that 2 gulf storm was looked for the majority of traders leaned to the view that the prolonged drought s-ftthwest was fbou to be ended. Another bearish influence at this juncture was talk of il success of Germany's attempts to get a loar from Great Britain. Declines wi1icf followed in prices were partly offset a the last rallies due to re37rts that tn. Argentina harvest was turning out less favorably than had ben expected.

RELATION OF BIG CORN CROP
 TO OUR MEAT SUPPLYING PoMEI

Promise of a ern crop of 3,152,Oo9.- 900 bushels in the United States alone coupled wl-h recent favorable reports on world wheat and rice crops suggests. says the Trade Record of The National City Bank of New York, that the worlds supply Of bread and meat will be little below normal despite the shortage in the wheat fields of Russia. A 3,o00.00o,- 900 bushel corn crop in the United States alone means probably 4.000.O00.nn0 bushels for the entire world, for the United States usually produces three- fourths of the worlds corn outturn.
 And this big corn ere :. with us means Tn turn an unusually sbig meat supply, especia'ly of pork. for @ large part Of the corn. of the United States Is fed to swine on the farpss where It Is grown and the meat thus produced distributed to all parts of the world in far greater values than that of the corn in the nat ural state. With the changed conditions of production and transportation in Flu rope resulting from the war, the demand Of the world upon the United States for bread and meat has continued down to the present time and the promise Of an abnormally large corn crop indicates that we shall be able to respond to the world demand for meat as well as bread stuffs Already Tn nine months of the current year for which figures are now avai- ahle, we have exported more corn i than in any full year since, 1906. while | the quantity going in the form Of pork | products in the current year is 20 per cent. greater than in the same months of 1920 though tNe value is probably less by reason of <5e reduction in prices
 Even at the reduced prices of wheat an
 corn the exports of pork products, chief lv nrofucad from corn. will be nearll
 $500 .oG0. 900 In value and the corn ex

But unless it makes a special appeal to his ideals 1t will be little better than drudgery. His challenge must come from the unsealed heights of promising possibilities. He must see the reward of effort in rich returns. Then be will give himself unstinted to the call and by doing so kindle iD oth- CTS the desire to work with him Be sides this they will learn to trust him for the thing he does.
