WHEAT CROP is UNPROFITABLE
Averaging Around 20 Bushels to Acre
But Market Price is Very Low

During the present week all of the
available threshing rigs in this section
have been busily engaged in threshing
the 1922 wheat crop, and judging from
the few reports we have been able to
obtain the yield will average from %
to 30 bushels per acre. The quality is
also considered good, but the prevail
ing prices are far below what they
should be. With wheat around 81
per bushel, when the costs of labor
phosphate, ETC., are deducted, wheat
growing is certainly very unprofit-
able crop.

helped and money was spent freely
knowing that it was for good cause.

between Clayton and Smyrna in the

He was UP in Virginia not long ago. riding

whereupon he called child by the roadside,

He took the direction of the spiraling' smoke

Considering which, and the unreadiness OF this
immature youth for the assumption Of RESPONSE

continued his journey, his thirst no whit abated.
The Princess Julia Cantacuzene, Russian refu-
gee, was born at 1900 Pennsylvania avenue, the
present address Of Warren @. Harding.
Ulysses s. Grant then lived there, and the
princess was the daughter OF his son.
When she told Mr.. Harding this the other day
he insisted that she had prior rights and the
house was hers.
Oddly in soliciting Russian refugee relief she

A Glorious /
Victory

~ HE Judgment pronounced
upon the Washington Con-
ference by that trained OBJ
server, Henry w. Nevinson, of
the Manchester Guardian, seems
worth recording.
He pointed out that Great
Britain would within ten years
have fought US if we had gone on
challenging her sea power, where.
as, now that we have undertaken
to let Britannia continue to rule
the waves, all can be we'll.
He emphasized that Japan goes
home with her important spoils
intact, their value not in the least
decreased by the polite. gestures
and polished promises of the
japanese delegates.
Japan carries back, also, an in
crease of prestige, due to her ad
mission into the Four-Power
Treaty-proof to the yellow races
that she is boss.
France came for nothing and
took back nothing, not even the
back seat into which the British
wanted to crowd her.
The goat, Mr.. Nevinson was too
polite to say, was Uncle Sam.
Should the Senate concur, he will
lose the Atlantic to Britain, the
Pacific to Britain and Japan. And
presently he may also lose all
chance of getting paid what Flu
rope owes him.
But, twas a glorious victory!
We have every Briton's word for
it. A wonderful triumph for
whatever it is that happens when
a great people are delivered into
the hands of their rivals.

diets that if the United States

and agree to do its share, civil

This news will be sad reading
for many Americans, particularly
those who have made engage

use Of having date with a girl

if the world is coming to an endl
1t may interest many Americans
to know that this conference is
scheduled to take place in Genoa,
Italy, and not in Genoa, Ohio, or
Genoa, Nebraska.
Lenin is coming from Russia to
attend this conference in order to
borrow money. France refuses to
come unless they promise her that
the present Russian government
will be compelled to redeem the
old bonds which the Glars sold in
France in order to raise money to
prevent the present Russian gov
eminent from coming into ex-
istence.
England is willing to come be-
cause England knows that she is
sure to come away with the taffy
end Of the stick.
All the governments that have
so far signified their intention to
attend the conference are dead

whether to attend or not. IF we
do we've got to take our check
