Rumanian Wheat Crop
0ne-Third Of AVERAGE
BY the Associated Press.

BUDAPEST. July 20.-The lean
crop prospects in Southeastern Eu-
rope were emphasized anew today
by a Bucharest wheat forecast plac-
ing Rumania's anticipated harvest
at 1880 900 metric tons, compared
to the average yearly production Of
around 100000 tons.
The situation in Rumania is re-
f1ected in other southeastern coun-
tries, where the poor prospects are
expected to throttle exports, espe-
cially to Germany. Last winters
unprecedented cold and the later
spring planting brought about the
acute situation.
Wheat experts here figure Ger
many must import at least 1000 900
tons of wheat this year. Ordinarily
Rumania alone could supply half
this amount; Hungary, Yugoslavia
and Bulgaria the rest.
But in Belgrade it was announced
Yugoslavia would have to import
wheat for her own needs this wear
and Hungary has initiated official
steps to assure sufiicient grain for
her own people.

the order Of preference, will accept:
l. A certified copy of the birth
registration, or officially documented
copy Of the original record;
2. Official certificate stating that
birth was recorded at certain time

3. Certified copy Of baptism;
4. Authentic family record Of

S. Sworn statement of attending

early life, thus providing indirect
proof of his citizenship.
Another possibility is the Bureau
OF the Census. There one may OBJ
tain evidence, say, that in 1910 he
lived in a certain locality with
such-and-such parents or guardians
and were reported as being of such
and-such an age at that time. The
bureau, of course, must be furnished
with full names of the applicant, the
applicants parents and the street or

plicant lived at the time of the CEN

proof Of age alone as sufficient

of Indiana and national commander
of the American Legion, will carry
a considerable part of the burden.
Mr.. McNutt was dramatic figure
in the convention. At the Presi-
dents request he withdrew his can
didacy for the vice presidential NOM
ination and threw his support to
Secretary Wallace as far as he could
certainly he threw Indiana that
way. And when the convention
ended early Friday President Roose-
welt talked over the telephone with
the Hoosier leader and thanked him
for what he had done.
Mr.. McNutt demonstrated his
popular strength in the national
convention. He is a man who will
have to be reckoned with. He is a
good campaigneer and he is only 40
years old. His friends are already
speaking of him in connection with
a 1914 presidential nomination. Only
the firm insistence of Mr.. McNutt,
plus that of Frank McHale, his
campaign manager, prevented the
Indiana delegation from casting its
entire vote for Mr.. McNutt on the
ballot for the vice presidential NOM
ination. Even after Mr.. McNutt had
taken the stand and withdrawn his
name from the contest. McHale
insisted that Indiana pass" when it
was first called on the roll and
finally persuaded the delegation that
it must vote as whole for Secretary
Wallace.
McNutt May Be Of Great Aid.
The Republicans In Mr.. Willkie
have nominated a war veteran for
President. President Roosevelt
served as Assistant Secretary of the
Navy during the World War.
The entrance of Mr.. McNutt, a
friend of a large number of the
Legionnaires. into the campaign,
therefore may be of great assist
ance to the Democratic ticket.
Now that the President has been
renominated the chances are he
will have an easier time with Con-
gress, in which the Democrats have
overwhelming majorities. 1t seems
unlikely that many of the Demo-
cratic members of the House, all Of
whom are up for reelection, will
undertake between now and election
day to weaken their party's presi-
Dental nominee by boiling his rec
concentrations to Congress. They
must run on the same ticket with
the President.
If the President demands a uni
versal military training bill his
hand will be strengthened and there
are many Republicans who will
favor such a measure because SEN
timent has been constantly grow
ing in favor of such a system OF
national defense. A poll of the del
egates to the Democratic Conven-
tion showed a majority of them
favored the plan.
The President has delivered his
acceptance speech. Mr.. Willkie ha.
yet to speak formally and give his
own personal stand on national pol
icies since his nomination. He has
the advantage of being in position
to reply to Mr.. Roosevelt.

Importance OF
Voting

Now, as never before in
, the history of our nation, it
is imperative that ALL cit
liens, go to the polls and
express their opinions
through the medium of the
ballot box.
The issues at stake
county, state, national and
International, should not be
taken lightly. The decision
made by the voters as to
which candidates shall rep
resent them, is bound to af-
feet our economic program,
and will perhaps change the
course of events in the life
of every individual in the
United States.
1t is a healthy sign that
more interest is being man.
ifested in the present cam
paign, both locally and ma
tionally, than in a number
of years. This fact is borne
Sut by the increased regis
tration in Licking county,
which was generally indica-
tive of the state and nation
IA trend.
The important thing is
that the issues at stake,
and the platforms of the
Individual candidates, be
thoroughly analyzed, before
voting. If this is done we
have enough faith in the in
, telligence of the American
people to believe that men
will be elected to office,
who have the ability to
safely steer the ship of
state through the turbulent
waters of national and in
ternational diplomacy.
The important thing to
remember is that ALL
. GOOD CITIZENS should
vote.
