"T0O MUCH WHEAT"
IN 1898 FORECAST
Economists Fear Materially Lower
Prices With 1,000.000,000
Bushel Yield.
BY the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Department of Agriculture econo-
mists forecast today too much wheat"
in 1888, resulting in materially lower
prices and big headache for pro-
ducers in the Nations grain belt
They based their predictions on
three major factors-another record
planting, 100 per cent increase in
the stocks of old wheat in the United
States and poorer prospects of selling
the grain abroad.
Responding to relatively high wheat
prices that put cash into their pock-
cts this year, American wheat grow
ers and those in other wheat-produc-
ing countries have been planting
wheat heavily. hoping to reap good
incomes in 1888.
The American acreage, the econo-
mists reported. may exceed 81, 1,G00, 900
Under normal conditions this would
produce a billion-bushel harvest-or
third more than needed to supply
the Nations food, feed and seed re-
quirements.
On top of this burdensome yield
they added, will be a carry-over OF
200, 100000 bushels from this years
crops, compared with 100000, ,00O
bushels last year.

leader who takes the Republican party
into the White House. The people
will not follow a pussyfooting parti-
san who is forever playing smart
politices.
Finally, and most important, Flo
relic La Guardian is a vote getter.
We have passed out of the old rural
civilization forever. America is an
urban democracy. The balance of
power politically in America lies in
the great cities. The great city States
that form New England, along with
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota.
California, where the cities control
the States that name the electors
these commonwealths will decide who
sits in the White House in 1910. La
Guardia appeals to the city crowd.
He has twice defeated the strongest
Democratic machine in America. He
is an accomplished fact as a Repub-
lican victor
He is honest enough, fortnight
enough, competent enough to attract
the farmer But honesty, competence
and integrity, which delight the rural
population, are not enough. These
qualities must meet in man who can
talk the language of the street, and
whose record appeals to the city man
who also wants his tax dollar safely,
wisely, honestly invested. No other
American has appeared on the political
horizon since 1882 with those peculiar
qualifications for leadership the Little
Flower" of New York.
He is not the only candidate for
President. 1t isn't La Guardia or bust.
But it certainly is the La Guardia
type. The man who is proved vote
getting winner in the great cities, who
has a record for cold honesty, execu-
tive competence and stalwart inde-
pendence, and an open liberal mind
not afraid of evolutionary progress.
A time-serving regular Republican
backed by the old guard will just walk
through the buzzsaw of the next elec-
ton, taking divided party to indecent
oblivion. Republican leaders can
ignore La Guardia, but they cannot
ignore what he stands for. The New
York election has pointed the only
way to national Republican success.

GLEN ECHO, Md, Nov. 4.-Petters,
bewarel The vigilantes will get you
If you don't watch out!
Stealing q page from law enforce
ment methods of the old South and
West, this community is forming its
own band of vigilantes.
Their efforts, like those of their
predecessors who patrolled the bad
lands when the country was in its
infancy, will be directed toward
stamping out "crime"-modern-d day
crime"
Petting First on List.
Petring, or necking, is first on the
list. 1t must go. The use Of streets
and roads of Glen Echo as the trysting
places Of loving couples has exhausted
the patience Of local residents.
Closely following "necking" come
the dumping of trash along public
highways, the use of District of Co.
lumbia automobile tags by Maryland
residents and the wanton cutting Of
trees.
There will be one principal de-
parture, however, from the methods
pursued by the vigilantes of the olden
days, who ofttimes were ruthless in
their efforts to preserve peace and
order.
Clarence w. Sands, secretary of the
Glen Echo Heights Citizens' Associa-
tion's Vigilantes' Committee, declared
today everything will be conducted in
,gentlemanly and neighborly fash
ion."
