In the French cantons that have re-

lives of many children have been saved
thru public health work and district
nursing. public libraries have been
established, hospitals installed, grain
and agricultural machinery have been
supplied the destitute farmers. Other
business interestes have been helped.
The French village baker, for instance,
is community necessity. He is given
sufficient aid to get his business on
a running basis. then the committee
turns to the next in need.
Altho America is rich in gold, manu-
factured and agricultural products.

with other countries.
Not a Cent From Germany.
If another country, in this case it
is France, is low economically. we lose
much in a purely commercial way.
Selfishly then, we help ourselves if we
help France. which. by the way, has
never received a cent of indemnity
money from Germany.
So far, thru the efforts of this COM

restored. Should we not, in our

Only Once in Ten Years Has
Amount Been Any Less.
March 1, 1918, Is One Time We
Held Less Grain.

Washington. March 17-Stocks of
wheat in country mills and elevators.
March 1, were estimated at ~, 564, 900
bushels by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
This is the smallest quantity in the
record of reports made to the depart
ment' for that date during the past
ten years, with the exception of March
1. 1918, when the abnormally low
stock of 66,000,0O0 bushels followed
the small wheat crop of 1917.
Exports of wheat from the 1921
crop have been heavy and country
mills and elevators possess only nine
per cent of that crop.
This is the smallest percentage for
these stocks in the same month in ten
years. The highest record is sixteen
per cent.
Average wheat stocks in country
mills and elevators, March 1, during
the past five years were about ST.
000,0 900 bushels. Stocks this year
were twenty per cent less than the five
year average. Wheat stocks of this
class were as much 155,000,0O0
bushels in 1916 or 112 per cent more
than the 1922 figures.

Chicago, March IA number of
leading theaters and theatrical pro-
ductions of the United States will be
merged under one centralized manage
ment, according to the Chicago Herald
and Examiner. which today printed
what it termed plans for a 500, ,o0O,-
900 combine.
According to the newspaper A L.
Erlanger and J. J. and Lee Shubert,
who negotiated a merger of their re-
spective interests here last week, are
negotiating with Charles B. Dilling
ham, Al H. Woods, Florenz Siegfeld,
Sam Harris, George NJ. Cohan, The
Selwyfls and others to join, them.
The proposed merger. it was said,
specifically aims at elimination of
needless building of new theaters,
overlapping of existing ones and ex-
hfbitions in the same city of similar
types of attractions simultaneously.
The theaters would be booked under
centralized management to avoid such
conflicts and resultant heavy losses.
Smaller cities would be allowed only
one high class theater. it was said.
