ANOTHER GRAIN OF WHEAT

Much misery and dissatisfaction have been blamed
on wheat crops in recent years Not that our
farmers have raised wheat than the world need
ed but they have raised of it than civilizations
faulty system of distribution could take Of The
United States government has urged large wheat grow
ers to diversity their crops and to take stock raising
and daryng larger scale in order to retrieve the
losses they have suffered through having wheat
than they could sell profitaby.
And now comes news that in certain wheat areas
in this country it has been found that each bearded
mesh of the wheat head holds three grains of wheat
where only two grew last year. With strange lncon-
sistency paper in the wheat regions reoces over this
crop increase and the prosperity it should usher in
If an over production existed before and caused
the financial troubles of the wheat belt then larger
crop as long as other conditions remain the same,
augurs further disaster.
OF course there is for rejoicing in the pro-
ducion of more grains of wheat per acre. from world
standpoint. The world needs more food every year
and will continue to need it in increasing amounts.
Adding grains to head of wheat is of the ways
to solve the problem of feeding the human so and

lfOUSSES ARE IDEAL FOR SUIfMER
DESERT, VERY EASILY PREPARED,
FRUITS AND NUTS USED FOR FLAVORfNG

Mousses are without question in
n class by themselves when sum-
mer-or other seasonal desserts are
considered. For richness, smooth
ness and pleasurable eating they
have almost no equals. Simpler to
prepare than ice cream, their only
drawback is~that the heavy cream
of which they are made is in the
luxury class of the ingredients used
in cooking. This slight disadvan-
tage offsets itself since mousse, be
cause of its richness, may be serv-
ed in small portions.
To make. Il mousse one has only
to pack sweetened and Favored

parts of cracked ice and rock salt

When a fruit pulp is added lit

The German people have been celebrating the be-

public:
MAY the spirit of 1914 again be the common

It was said that among the state delegations ready to be presented in a minority report to the convention de- manding the naming of the klan in a plank were New York, Illinois, Colo rado. Ohio, Wisconsin, Massachusetts and Minnesota.
 A Mutual Goal
 4 Members of the democratic national executive committee, who had intereet- ed themselves in the move to bring about a semblance of harmony on the klan issue, said after hours of hasty telephoning and conference around the various state headquarters, that some sort of a compromise, while not yet ad- vanced to the realm of probabilities, was at least mutual goal of the hith- erto hopelessly divergent groups. J. Bruce Kremer of Montana, vice chairman of the national committee and McAdoo floor manager, said after a protracted effort at conciliation that we now have two divergent groups working in the same direction for the first time since the convention began"
 How far the negotiations will be successful cannot yet be determined, but all those who have taken the matter in hand still are determined, so far as we can learn, to exhaust every possibility before the question goes to the floor tomorrow morning" 7's--- Three blanks with respect to the Ku Klux Klan were before the committees early this morning. That which omit ted the name of the Invisible Empire was prepared by William Jennings Bryan. That naming the klan consti. tuted a composition of the Anti.kIan | forces in general. There was, however. an additional plank presented from Alabama, the home state of Oscar W. | Underwood, one of the candidates for the presidential nomination.
 The Composite
 The composite plank of the oppon. ents read
 We condemn political secret O. cieties as all kinds as opposed to the exercise of free government and con- trAry to the spirit if not the letter of the Constitution.
 No member of such society can juat. ly claim to be a disciple of Thomas Jefferson. We therefore. pledge the democratic party to oppose the efforts of the Ku Klux Klan oEs any similar organization that interiors with DO. litical freedom of religions liberty or which engenders racial prejudices." ,s
