Roosevelt Calls Doughton To Capital

Washihgton.-Iow important
a political issue can be made out
of the falling off in exports of
American farm products and the
increase in imports of staple food
supplies is the latest question on
which political observers here are
focusing their attention. How
much of the current situation is
due to natural causes or conditions
outside of government control and
how much to political measures, is
the root Of the argument.
The facts as Washington gets
them are something like this:
The o%versupply of surplus wheat
which has been depressing the
world market for several years, has
been practically consumed, result
ing in higher prices. The worlds
normal carryover of surplus wheat
is about 30O,OOO,OO bushels. All
the reports which the Department
of Agriculture regards as reliable
indicate that the surplus for the
year to come will be just about this
normal carryover. OF this the
United States crop of 1886, a.
mounting to 500, 900 bushels, and
the supply of old wheat carried
over, 125,o00,0o0 bushels, will
leave an American surplus of about
100, 900, 900 bushels.
Wheat consumption is increas-
ing all over the world and this
fact, coupled with the worldwide
shortage, will tend to keep prices
up. OF course, it is much too
early to forecast the Argentine and
Australian crops, where it is now
Winter or early Spring.
In the meantime, American
wheat imports are up this year over
last year. These imports are for
special grades of wheat in demand
by millers, which are normally
grown in the Northwest and Of
which the crop has been short for|
the past six years. In the first six
months of this year official figures
show that 19,S05,56O bushels of
wheat were imported from abroad,
compared with 12,S39,o47 bushels
in the corresponding period of
1885.

be present and take active parts.
Local pastors and Others will parti-
cipate also. 1t is hoped that every
church will send not less than six
delegates. They are urged to send
more, if possible. At the close of
the night session, a pennant will be
given to the Sunday School having
the best record of attendance, based
on the number of miles travelled.

Convention may be secured from

CORN N

Officials Washington is more
concerned with the corn crop than
with the wheat crop. If the
drought continues to the middle of
this month, the Department of
Agriculture's estimate is hat the
corn crop will be less than half of
the normal 2,50o,oo0,o00 bushels,
and even with good weather and
plenty of rain, the corr crop will
be about 500, 0OO,0 900 bushels short
of the normal 2,500,ooo,Ooo
So far this year imports Of corn
have been less than one-third OF
what they were in the first half
of 1885; S,662,215 bushels against
17,62o,1e5 in the same period last
year. There has been a sharp de-
cline in the importation of oats and
of butter.
On the other side of the scale,
exports of wheat have dropped to
practically nothing, though cotton
exports have been higher On the
average in 1886 than in 1885.
1t is this falling off Of agricul-
tural exports and the rise in agri-
cultural imports which gives the
politicians of both parties concern
The opponents of the Admlnlstra-
ton assert. that exports have fallen
because the Government has Great
ed an artificitl scracity and an art
ificial price level, while imports are
rising not only because of this scar
CITY but because of the Admins
tratron's reciprocal tariff policies.
Administration supporters say
that 50 far as tariff influence goes
the policy of the previous admins
trations made it difficult for fore
ign customers to get dollars with
which to buy American products,
and that the increase in importa-
ton is due to the destruction by
drought of crops which the Gov
eminent had sought to adjust to
the situation caused by the loss Of
foreign markets.

Scion Hurries
To Conference
of Talk With The
President Is Unknown:
Senator Harrison Is
Also Called

Washington, Aug. 12.-Witl
the ways and means COMMITTEES
chairman, reported en- route t.
Washington for a hurriedly .callee
conference with the President, of.
tlclal Washington is specializing or
the subjects hat will be dis cussed
Interest was heightened late in the
day by arrival in Washington by
plane of Senator Pat Harrison Of
Mississippi, Senate Finance Com
1nittee chairman, who dropped hi:
campaign for nomination for re-
election to hurry to Washington
at the Presidents behest for the
conference.
The belief prevails that lowering
the tariff on at least II or II i'm
portant commodities of life, will
be the chief theme of the confer
ence. The proposal follows some
what alarming conditions that pre-
vail in some quarters as to the scar
city Of corn, wheat and foods and
feed for man and beast, caused by
the soaring drought which for the
past several weeks has gripped the
country in a more devastating man
ner than in 1884. The crop re-
port issued this week did not lend
encouragement to the situation and
revealed, for instance, that the
drought had shriveled the nation
corn crop to the lowest yield in
modern history Of Earnings, at L.
439, ,0p0 bushels. Of 46.S per
cent 81 normal. This crop report
was based On August reports from
crop reporters. While the report
did not indicate any shortage Of
wheat, it is understood that for
September will, and that decided
inroads will be made on the 1907
O00,0 600 bushel car1y-over that *
lists, unless drastic action is taken
to conserve food supplies of the
nation. But the fact hat the
wheat crop was only 1913
per cent of normal while durum
used in milling bakers flour,
was only 20.9 per cent of normal
crop causes concern.
The situation is causing a steady
increase of the cost of living, it
was pointed out, with attention
to the fact that even today
meat markets are pushing the fin
est cuts of fancy beef at unusually
prices in populated centers,
.ue to the fact that farmers are
their cattle on the mar
kets since they have no feed for
them during the remainder of the
and most certainly not I'M
til the fall roundup.
With this situation facing the ad-
mi~nistration, the president, it is
generally believed, proposes to
the tariff on certain COM
to keep down the cost of
and especially to cause i'm
p~ortations of heavy grains of all
kinds for hogs and cattle during
The coming fall and winter, so that
the supply of livestock will not be
depleted. Having worked out a
plan to this end with Senator Har-
rison and Mr.. Doughton the Chief
Executive, during his coming trip,
will be able to carry a message of
good cheer to the thousands of peo-
pie who are struggling for exis-
tence on the scared plains of the
West, and those on farms of the
where the drought has been.

ST. LUCY's HOLY NAME BOWLING NOTES

Listen boys, no doubt the stand- jngs above are reversed but before shaking your head and wondering what it's all about, please read on before you accuse me of being daffy.
 During the middle of the season when those Bratels were settled firmly in first place, and nothing short of a miracle could pry them off, an idea struck me immediate ly after they had trounced my team one night. figured that by giving the Bratels plenty of publi- city and write about the wonderful feats they accomplished on the ale leys, that they would soon develop swellheads, get an attack of over- confidence and finally yield few games to their opponuents. But no siree, my idea of, too many hands spoil the soup certainly was flop. The fact that they are games in front is nothing, but last week those (Brutes) I mean Bra tels, who smelled the rat all sea- son, took one good look at me, kidded my team along in the first two games, and then 10 and behold instead of displaying swell heads at the end of those games, their scores swelled to then tune of high team single of 596 in the last game, and Q record breaking team total of 1905. What a nasty trick, and against my team, too. So, my trans, fro nnnow on, in order to stop this league from being @ one.team race, those Beers will hold the spotlight hereafter.
 Conceding the Bratels their pen- S1ant, leaves no little interest, in fact the teams below them are 50 close ly punched, that only 5 games sep- arate the second and last team. Last week, Joe Mazzies' Rickeys rested in fifth place before rolling off in a brotherly battle with Spiggy Ma2zie's Climbers, then, by virtue of their whitewash of the Climbers, they jumped to second place. Upon concluding the games Spiggy was the target of plenty of questions asked, one of them being, Hey Spiggy! Which way are your Climb CTS climbing, up or down?"
 Who hung the Indian sign on Cab Sciarra, we'll bet 1t was gentle- man Hennie (who hates publicity. The Indian chief, as he is some- times called, threatens to leave the Coolers last week and do Q war dance with the Climbers.
 Upon being told that to enter this hall of fame, that he should dmo something exciting, Mike Mendillo quickly set out to make his dream come true, when he nearly broke the high single record. Mikes l40 game, came within 6 pins of collecting the prize.
 Inviting five men to square off with their team, the St. Ann's All Stars, certainly proved to be great sports even in defeat. Those of you who failed to show up, will regret to learn that we had one swell night. Although I was requested to hold back the scores (by MT. De- lage), every pin that they were dee feated by, they matched them with smiles and laughs. Boosting such sportsmen, as Father Parent and Father Lovingon, who made gal- lant attempts to overcome the off, night that Jud Daly and George Berube were having. their scores proved that they are the whole teams success.
