The much touted supremacy of
Iowa and neighboring states in the
matter of raising Corn is becoming
shaky from reports eminating from
the Yakima River country of Wash
ington. The farmers of the North
west have been raising some bumper
crops on their own hook and it looks
as though Iowa must watch her step.
With no extra effort, farmers in this
territory are raising A No. yellow,
corn at the rate of 1870 to $50 bushels
to the acre, and are raising it from
soil which few years ago was semi
arid. The main difficulty, however, in
past years has been the poor selec-
ton of seed corn by the farmers.
Now that this is remedied, bumper
crops are the rule, and the fattening
of hogs and raising of stock has
sprung up on the side.
Great Britain has rejected Secre-
tary Hughes proposal that treaty
be made extending the right of search
of vessels beyond the three mile limit,
the object of which would be to mini
mize liquor smuggling into the United
States from ships flying the British
flag. The British government does
not feel that it can abandon a prin-
ciple OF international law, which it
has consistently upheld, to meet the
temporary emergency in question. In
rejecting the American proposal,
however, Great Britain announces a
readiness to continue measures to
prevent in British territory the de-
velopment of illegal practices con-
nected with liquor smuggling to
America.

Politics in Great Britain are in cha
otto confusion as result of the fall
of the Lloyd George cabinet last week.
The change in leadership was ex-
pected at any time by those on the in
side, but the crash came as a shock
to the majority of the British people.
The direct cause of the bolt of the
Unionist party which caused the
downfall of Lloyd George is said to
have arisen from the bungling meth
DDS used by the Premier in the Near
East matter.
Mr.. Andrew Bonar Law, leader of
the Conservatives has been selected to
form a new Cabinet and is working to
that end. The situation remains
complex in the extreme, and the sud-
denness of the whole thing has thrown
nearly all the parties into confusion.
To explain, and make clear the cir
cumstances is next to impossible.
The Law Cabinet will be short lived
in the opinion of the political leaders.
A general election is expected to take
place early in November, and only
then will the depressing tangle be
Strengthened out.
Russia has 100000 men under
arms, mainly concentrated along the
western frontier from the Baltic to
the Black Sea, while the Baltic states
have only 10000 men under their
colors and Poland 100000, according
to figures compiled in Warsaw, Po-
land. These figures, it is stated, have
been brought out in connection with
the present conference of representa-
tives of the Baltic states and Poland
in Reval in preparation for taking
part in the Moscow Disarmament
Congress proposed by Foreign Minis
ter Tchitcherin.
Norway has been awarded approxi-
mately $12,000,000 by the arbitration
tribunal which for several months has
been considering the controversy be-
tween the United States and Norway
involving claims growing out of the
requisition by the United States dur
ing the war of Norwegian vessels.
The award was made known at The
Hague this week, and the American
arbitrator, Gambler P. Anderson COM
municated to the Secretary General of
the. tribunal his opinion that the terms
of submission had been violated and
that the tribunal had exceeded it's
jurisdiction.

When it comes to speeding hats are
off to Lieutenant Maughn, of the
Army Air Service. The other day he
drove a special Curtiss plane over a
five kilometre course at the rate of
24S miles per hour, the fastest speed
ever attained by human being. Sew
eral times during these short dashes,
Maughn was rendered unconscious by
the rush of air. The record is I'M
official, but was observed and timed
by prominent authorities.

GRAPES SELLING LOW.
New Jersey Growers Disap-
pointed at Not Getting Last
Years Prices.

Newfield. n. j.. Sept. 2.-There Is
a vast difference IN the price OF
grapes over that Of A year ago. when
growers refused as much as $50 Der
ton, and who today are glad 70 get so
cents basket. Early IN the season
the indications were that last years
prices would be obtained this year. as
the vines did not show much life and
big money was looked for last month
from what was grown. but there was
4 change in conditions. The wet
weather put life in the vines. and they
have produced A crop that Is IN
preceiented.
There is another element in the sit
uation that holds the price down. It
g claimed that there is not the de-
mand for wine this year that there
was last year. and, besides, when the
Volstead act went into effect everv-
body wanted grapes 20 make wines.
with the result that vast acrea yes Of
vines were planted all over this Sec
ton. and these are producing this
year.
Growers who have been hauling a
few loads 10 market were as1on.shed
10 find that the best they can do IL
90 cents basket, with very little
demand for ton lots. Last year this
section was flooded with buyers. and
scores or carloads were moved rom
this immediate vicinity This year
these buyers would have been hailed
with delight, but they have not put in
an appearance as yet.
