Out Of Our Plenty.

Never In. all history has any other
patton adyentured the role of world
commissary of foodstuffs as the
United States has In the last few
months. In the month Of August
our wheat exports were $4,000. 900
bushels, smashing the previous high
record Of 4s,ooo.000 bushels in Octo-
ber, 1920. For August, 1920. wheat
exports were 32.550.oo0 bushels.
Yet these $3.50, 900 bushels of wheat
cost the foreign purchaser $s3.5s1.-
600, and for more than double that
quantity this year the price paid was
only ss3,726,0o0. ~ A,',
Including with breadstuf1s the
other agricultural products--meats.
vegetable oils, dairy products, dried
fruits and canned foods--this coun,
try exported In August 5.5s3,e3o. 900
pounds Of victualling supplies, for
which the price was $154, 4,209. 900 out
OF total export trade for the month
valued at 1895. Sos, 200. In August,
1920. we exported only 1858. 100000
pounds Of the same supplies. and the
price was Sl43,359. 900 out OF total
export figure OF $50. 100000.
Since July last we have exported
$4,000 900 bushels of wheat. or about
half the available surplus. while the
stocks Of the same grain In Argen.
tine warehouses have been piling w
for lack Of market.
In August last the meat exports
were 203.o95.oo0 pounds, nearly three
times as much as the so,42i.o 900
pounds exported In August, 1920. but
the price was s3o.949.o 900. or only a
little more than one-third above the
s19,05,.0o0 received for the scant
meats exported in August last year.
Meat exports In August this year
were twice as large as the average
monthly exports before the war.
A new record for corn exports was
established In July when 15.000,0 900
bushels were sent abroad In August
the corn exports we're 14.000,0 900
bushels. more than ten times the L..
2e2.915 bushels exported in August
1920: but the price was only s9,067,.
600, or not quite four times as much
az the s2,7o7,37l paid for the smaller
quantity in 1920. The average ex
ports Of corn for August before the
war were between 100000 and L..
100000 bushels.
Several factors account for this
heavy movement of agricultural prod.
ucts. Denation and the curtailment of

Diseounting Naval Aviseion.

It cannot be denied that the Navy
Department has resisted, Or only half.
heartedly advocated. the development
OF aviation ever since Admiral FtsxE
first urged its importance In 1915.
During the preceding Administratio
the Secretary OF the Navy and the
Chief Of Operations cut appropriu.
tions. discouraged progress, and sent
US into the world war with no avia.
ton material and with a devoted lit
tie band Of only forty.hve trained
fiiers. ~ s,
Following the war, until very re-
Gently. the record OF neglect and OBJ
stinacy has continued. The Daniels
regime, In its staggering demand for
twenty additional $4,000. 900 capital
chips, submitted the. naval bill with
only a petty little 30,0oo.0oo for avia.
tion. The present naval administra.
ton was finally goaded into tardy
advocacy Of two sirplane carriers,
but IT'S continued insistence upon the
1915 programme caused. Congress to
cut from the bill tho two weapons
most needed BY the navy-subma-
rines and air forces.
General MITCHELL declared that he
could sink battleships with. bombs.
The late Secretary Of the Navy pooh:
poohed the General. sarcastically
called him admiral, MITCHELL, en-.
deavored to throttle him, and capped
the climax by declaring that he
would gladly stand on the bridge OF
a ship and let MITCHELL bomb It!
Well, whore would the silly 10.
sEpuus be to-day? Admiral Mrrcn-
ELL proved the soundness OF his every
claim. The Joint Board was forced
to admit that bombs can sink any
ship that floats and any ship that
can be designed.
Moreover, the bombing Of the Ger
man ships would have been farce
had II not been for General Mrrcn.
ELL. It appears that the Navy De-
partment. the General Board and
the Principal Dignitaries" In tho
bureaus were anxious that the ship
should not be sunk by bombs. Tho
rules" OF the game appeared to have
been drawn to protect the targets.
The little naval air contingent had
slight opportunity to show what IL
could do. II was permitted to use
only lightweight bombs. The navy
planes with 1000 and. 1000 pound
bombs were turned back in compii.

Giants or Yankees?

Trying to pick the winner Of the

There is, no common factor by which
the Giants and the Yankees may be

Strange Wills.
Portrait Filed BY Legator-Testa.
ment Of Black Plague Days.

Solicitor N LONDON Daily Moil.
All Wills for which probate IL granted
are fled in Somerset House. They can
be inspected by the public on the pay
ment Of a Tee. The only exception to
the above rule applies to the wills Of
the King and Queen Of England. which
are kept in the records but are sealed.
Almost every day the Principal Pro-
bate Registry once has to deal With
Wills Of original construction.
One Of the most recent was the por-
trzits Of a pretty girl. upon which the
tsstAtor had simply written, "r leave all
toner" The Iesator. a soldier, had duly
signed II, and afiidavits of identity be-
Ing forthcoming the Will was admitted
TO. probate and filed In the archives Of
Somerset House. ~<, M s5 y.e.
A quaint, will. yet these same archives
contain others just a. fanciful and some
that are remarkable for their historical
interest.
One IN this collection. interesting from
q medical point OF view. was made by
an unfortunate who died of the black
plague that ragged at one time in Lon
don. This will was placed in q bottle
flied with spirits and then corked.
A precaution no doubt to preserve
HIS Majesty's law ofIiccrs. who would
have subsequently TO handle Il In the
course OF their duties. from infection by
the deadly bacilli.

year 100. this 10 not little remark

by the famous Mr.. Pitmaa saw the light
OF day over hundred years later.

else the authorities would have been
put TO no little trouble TO dsolpher Il.
for shorthand was unknown In those
days.
A. viii saivagsd from the bottom Of
the sea supplies the nautical interest.
This will was recovered after a long
period Of inmerslon. and the only dam
age II received was In the way Of
shrinkage. 4.
II was made on parchment, and this
when flshed up was found to have
sfrunk to about a, tenth it's normal size.
But so beautifully had It been inscribed
that the writing remains as clear as
~rirt to this day. and though very mi
mute Il can be read easily with the
naked eye.

Explsining HyIan's Rage.

- the 1ntemperdnce or mlnd e1-
hibited by Mayor HYLAN In his
outburst against the transit reorgan-
itation plan must not be condemned
without an explanation.
The MAYOR is naturally IN the Ill
humor OF q man who has had ladder
kicked ont from under him. The
traction ladder was all he had, and.
rotten AS the rungs were, he hoped
It would take him up to reelection.
Mr.. HrLaS and his friends the
Tammany once holders had been
watching with. uneasiness the ex-
rosure of the city administration's
weakness and decay in almost every
quarter. They saw the Police De-
partmsnt's evils brought to light.
Morton Pete and all. They saw the
Dock Department shown up as Job
bing. place for lease profiteers. They
saw the city markets scandal-"for
money / got honey" They saw. as
everybody, has seen for nearly four
years. the disintegration Of the
schools and the appalling rise in the
number Of part time pupils.
But there remained, until last
week. that Fictitious thing commonly
known as HYLAN's FIVE cent fare pol
icy. OF course there is no such thing
IN fact. The people of New York are
paying Ave. ten and even fifteen cents
to travel between their homes and
their business. Averaged up. the
present transfer system makes the
fare six cents. But HYLAN and Tam
many Hall hoped to go on deluding
those persons whom the Mayor has
led to believe that nothing stands
between them and extortionate fares
except his own benevolent self.
The Hylan campaign has leaned
almost entirely on this five cent sup
port. Its managers believed that Hy-
Ian could be reelected because this
Ia a cheap town." They thought that
HYLAN's banalities about "the in.
terests" and his insistence upon a
five cent fare would carry him
through on November s.
When the Transit Commission pre-
seuted last week its preliminary plan
for the uniflcation of the entire tran
sit system, the return of free trans
fers, the setting up Of adequate SER
vice and the establishment Of fare
rates on an actual cost basis, the
Hylan crowd saw its ladder fall.
Hence the Mayors pronunciamento
against the Transit Commissions
plan. "A gold brick plsn!" screams
Hizzoncr. He offers nothing In It's
place. That Is the HyIan way. Tho
fact that the transportation Of the
city is disjointed is nothing to the
Mayor. He hopes, by opposing prog.
ress and crying that the traction In
terests" are trying to rob the people.
that he will be reelected.
In short, HYLAN hopes that this is
q city which will calmly watch the
four million dollar scandal Of the
docks and then 90 frantic over him
when be yelis "Plunderbund!"
Is New York that sort Of town?
