A shrinkage of at least S00,000,000
bushels of wheat in the 1924 crop a
compared to the crop Of the previous
year is predicted in official grain
circles. These figures apply to the
world crop which totaled approNi-
mately three billion bushels in 1928
and is destined 10 fall TO two billion,
seven hundred million this year.
Practically every wheat producing
country in the world reports a shrink
age.
At present the corn crop looks
short in the entire corn belt. Early
frosts have damaged the crop in many
localities, particularly in the north
ern zones, and the lateness of the
season which prevented early planting
found the corn green when these
frosts struck it.

Doubtless the two supermen have
decided that they have held the lime
light long enough and are willing to
remain in obscurity. One thing Ger
tain they have captured more news
paper space than any other murder
ers in modern times, and probably
have established record for Grimm
ais for many years hence.
The re-writes of the noted Franks
case serve to show how the newspaper
business of America is overdone.
Republicans are bending every
energy to build up a strong aggrega-
ton of voters in the hope of electing
Calvin Coolidge. One of the latest
moves of the Republican central COM
mittee is to enroll the 100000 stu
dents. representing 500 universities
and colleges, in a Republican club.
1t is estimated that fully 10000 of
these students will vote at the Novem-
ber election.
OF course the Republican central
committee does not hope to poll the
vote of the entire student body, but it
is safe to predict that practically
every student will be flooded with
campaign literature setting forth the
merits of the last Republican admins
tration. This is one thing a strong
party machine with unhampered re-
sources can do.
The Republican central committee
proposes to send platform speakers
among the student body, knowing that
young people can easily be swayed
by anything that is clothed in en-
thusiasm.
Former Governor Frank o. Lowden
is apparently not inclined to accept
anv of the peace offerings held out 20
him by the Republican administra-
ton.
Apparently he has rejected the
craftsmanship of committee appoint
ed by President Coolidge to investi,
gate the problems of agriculture.
Only recently he rejected the offer of
the nomination for vice-president on
the Republican ticket.
Since the former governors ex-
perience in the convention of 1920 he
has shown a disposition to refuse the
generous offers of his party, giving
various reasons for his attitude, chief
of which is that he prefers to remain
private citizen.
The presidency was the only thing
Mr.. Lowden wanted and not being
permitted to lead the Republican host
to victory in 1920 he, unlike William
Jennings Bryan, politely refuses to
accept any secondary honor.
1t is not improbable however, that
he will be rendered cabinet position
in case of the election of President
Coolidge. Such an offer might prove
horse of another color. 1t is al
most as great an honor to be cabinet
officer as to be called president of the
United States.
