Losing Grip on Ills Party.

Washington, May 5.-Boies
Penrose has lost his hold on the
G. o. P, and his influence is rap
idly waning here. It is freely
predicted that although he re-
gains his health, his political ca
reer is virtually over.
The overthrow of the Speaker
of the House of the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature is said to be a
decisive victory by Gov. Sproul
and his party associates over the
Penrose forces. 1t is understood
to mean that State Senator
Crow, who is working with Gov.
Sproul will take Mr.. Penrose's
seat.
Another blow on the way to
Mr.. Penrose is the selection of
John T. Adams of Iowa to sue
coed Will Hays as chairman of
the Republican National Commit
tee. A combination of the Pen.

forces at st. Louis defeated Mr..
Adams and enabled Mr.. Hays to
win. 1t looks easy for Mr.. Ad.

May Raise Interest Rate.

A move is on foot by the bank
ers here and elsewhere in the
State to raise the rate of interest
on loans from six to seven, and
possibly eight per cent. The
claim is made that such induce
ments for money are being made
by the government and big con-
Germs over the country that the
banks are being stripped of
money. For instance it is re-
ported that Swift & Co.. secured
$50, 900 from patrons of the two
Stanford banks during the past
week or 80 and that the interest
paid is q per cent. The banks
may have to raise to protect their
institutions, but it strikes US
that this is an inopportune time
to do so. Everything is getting
back to, or in the neighborhood
of, old time prices, and advanc-
ing the price, of money would at
least look inconsistent. Of course
the bankers can do nothing in
the premises without the aid of
the Legislature and it remains to
be seen what the Solons will do

Efficiency first.

The whole country is suffering
for lack of efficiency. 1t has
permeated every branch and de-
partment of government and the
cost of it falls upon the people.
The farmer does not hire man
to work who does not know how
to pillow nor does he hire a man
to drive his team who does not
not know how to handle horses;
the merchant does not want a
clerk who does not know how to
sell goods, the newspaper man
does not hire printer who can't
set type and the banker does not
hire an accountant who knows
nothing of bookkeeping.
In every branch of business
we exercise judgment in select
ing our aids. We do. not want a
physician who is not a graduate
of a medical school and we do
not want him even then unless
we have confidence in him.
When we want a lawyer we
want the best we can get.
When we come to select our
officials we should exercise the
same kind of judgment that we
do in employing some one to
work for us. For instance, it is
just as important for the county
to have efficient officials as it is
for the farmer or the merchant
to have efficient help.
OF course a man has to be
honest first. If he is dishonest
nobody wants him for anything.
The next question we have to
decide upon is his efficiency.
No matter how little you may
know yourself about the duties
of any Office, your best interest
demands that you support the
best qualified man for the posi-
ton.
1t should not be a question of
likes or dislikes, but the question

FORECAST
OF CROPS ANALYzED
BY SANB0RN FRIDAY
Ry WILLIAM r. SANBoRN.

The government crop report for Sep
TENDER, issued late on Thursday, shows
that there was decrease of 100000
in the four small grains, wheat, oats,
rye and barley. also that corn
prospects had bettered to the extent of
156, 100000 bushels. This indicates a
corn crop of 3,1SS,000,000, the second
largest on record. 1t showed gains Of
nearly IL bushels per acre during
favorable August days. The corn crop
promises to be but 100000 short of
last year and around 400,000,000 above
the ten year average.
The bulk of the crop is now out of
danger from frost and two weeks of
fine weather may result in crop equal
to that of 1920, when the returns are
all in.
Iowa leads in corn production with
a prospect of 424, 100000; Illinois ranks
next with 26,000,000, the best showing
/ in several years. The Indiana crop
,, will be around 100000 below that OF
1920, the September figures being set
at 1853 ,620,0 bushels. Indiana oats is
/ given at 1855, 900. against 76,000,006
last year and a 10 year average OF
68. 100000 bushels.
/ Short Spring Wheat Crop.
/ The winter wheat crop was covered
in the August estimates and the grain
is safely in store. This is set al
544, 100000. The report showed a shrink
age of 100000 bushels in the sprins
wheat crop in August, which was con
;siderably less than was anticipated
from the alarming reports sent out dur
ing that month The crop is given a
i210,0OO,000 bushels, which is 10000, 00i
more than expected, but still below
our milling requirements. This give
us total of $4,000, 900 bushels O
wheat, or 33,000,000 bushels under tn,
crop of last year.
Oats Crop Very Short.
The oats crop is the smallest sine
1911, being estimated at 100000. 00l
measured bushels. The average yielt
was but 24.3, about II bushels unde
last year, per acre. Because of ligh
weight the crop will be around goo. 900,
GOO bushels, of standard weight.
Serious Potato Shortage.
There is all the grain that we shall
need for domestic use, with a liberia
quantity for export, especially as t,

The serious shortage in potatoes vii

of 100000 in August, and is estimate,
