Vheat Price a World Problem
piVU crop yews ago Mussolini
f started a piuaiUih lo tiet i.i
ufmtry Irom the necessity1 of Ira
foiling wheat. To stop the ruin
ous outflow of gold in payment tor
wbout from other countries, some
thing. hud to be done. It might
ost It does cost more to pro
duce a bushel of wheat In Italy
than upon the prairies of Argentina
fr Kansas, but even If It does the
money remains in Italy. -
The Italian dictator has been so
successful that in 1928 Italy pro
duced nearly as much wheat as
was consumed. ' ' , ,
i
( Mussolini's scheme provoked In
jllier ICuropean couiilrleB a new In
terest in the production of wheat.
A French "wheat at home" cam
paign was started and a thumping
ttirlff placed on importations. Get
4iany offered to protect 'wheat
growers; the Spanish dictatorship
decided thut a battle of grain
ifilghft improve the financial posl
Jon of the ' peninsula, also. Oth-e-
countries were quick to follow
suitaud modern machinery and In
struction to farmers quickly began
to show tlioir effects on the wheat
production of all Europe.
? Thus it will be seen that the col
fiipBe of the wheat market last year
and Its steady decline ever since
ore not the result of a one-sea-mi
exigency. It would uaturully
Ciko quite a long time for the ef
fects of the new self-suBtenance
jjlnn in Europe to show themselves.
A strange thing happened last
)V... Every large frontier, wheat
country had a Blioit crop. The
liniled Btates, Canada, Arfioulina
and Australia all had greatly dimin
ished ciopb. . Dut Nature, the onme
dame that frowned upon the great
exporting countries, smiled last
year upon all the Importing coun
tries. They oil had prise crops. ,V
The great problem that now
parents itself lo our farmers for
the first time since we became an
export nation of wheat is: Oan
we go on raising wheat for the
world market? In the 'list place,'
Western Europe can produce, If she
nlshea. nil the gruln she needs In
iuy average year. That Europe
will go so far lis lo do this nobody
expects; It would be too expensive,
but what we are sure of is that
western Europe Is bout on Import
ing, the least grain possible.
In the second place, It Is vitally
necessary fur the two principal
wheat-growing countries south or
the equator Australia and Argen
tina to raise and market every
buoliel of wheat possible. , Hut the
big. underlying threat lo the world
wheat markot Is RubbIs. It was
reported early last year that Rus
sia,', would have no wheat for ex
porting. How much wheat Russia
did- actually export we have no
means ot knowlug. There Is no
doubt that Hie soviet authorities
tine a large volume of grain into
the fjrenkinc market. It Is of no
avail, to tool oureolves any longer
about Russia. Russia Is not only
coming back as the world s rhlei
exporter. ot wheat but she Is al
ready" back as a real force.
Naturally our wheot glowers do
uot jiuderstand. They think du
mostlcaiiy. The problem is international-
They think in terms ol
their, own and their neighbor's
crops,- It is really a world wop

Girl Unafraid
WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE
Life to pretty Ardeth Carroll
meant working In a Bhop, an un
happy home with her aunt, aud
the courtship of Neil Burke, to
whom marriage would mean a con
tinuance of her drab - existence.
When fats In the guise of the so
cially prominent ' Jeanette Parker,
offers her the charge of a shop she
is opening. Ardeth accepts. Her
happiness knows no bounds when
she meets her Idol, Ken Gleason,
often seen with Cecils, Jeanette's
younger sister. Araetn ana nea
see much of each other. Announce
ment of Ken's engagement to I e
cile stuns Ardeth. Ken denying his
engagement, explains it is his
mother's wish that he marry Ce
clle. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
CHAPTER XIV.
"Mother didn'.t have a soul to
turn to after father died no re
lation, that is. And she was too
proud to tell friends even the
Parkers. Besides she was afraid
d know. That it would affect my
future. I'd Just entered college and
she was determined that- I'd have
those four years free of worry or
economies. There was ' no money
to send me to college, but shs
found a way."
Ken drew a long breath but bis
voice shook.
"She sold all her Jewelry. She
told me she was going to Europe
to travel until J finished my four
years. She got a miserable hole
of a room in a furnished house.
She crawled Into this hole cu
herself away from everyone so
she'd keep the truth from me. Her
letters to me were sent to a rrternl
In England -and remailed. I never
knew the difference until she was
taken so ill they took ber to the
city hospital III, because she'd ac
tually starved herself."
His voice was stifled. "Then I
learned all about the whole crazy,
dreadful, splendid scheme!
"Lord that place she'd been
living, Ardeth. A dark bole of a
place in a disreputable neighbor
hood my poor, proud little moth
er. Wall paper with damp spots of
mold. Leaking gas. Ardeth, I sat
down and cried like a baby when
I saw It.
"She nearly died. I felt as If I
had killed her. Even if it was
-vrong and unnecessary, she'd
done It for me. She's been sickly
ever since. And I'm the only thing
she has, Ardeth, to care for."
Conflicting Emotions
Ken stopped speaking and for
a moment there was only the faint
splashing In the lake to break the
silence. A moment, tremulous, with
the beauty of the evening weaving
through It, so that forever after the
girl remembered this as a time ot
tiAt-rnmpri rtjialr and the black
branches Interlaced against a grey
sky where silver stars looked
throush. Poignant Joy stealing
through her, stinging tears to her
eyes.
As though he sensed this, Ken
drew her into li is arms, his mouth
crushed down on her .shadowy lips
"Sweetheart Sweetheart
" came his muffled whisper.
"You do love me? Say it, Ardeth.
"Oh, of course I do!" It was
more of a sob than a spoken ad'
mission. "You know I do!"
Clingiug to him with closed eyes
and eager lips. Content only to be
In his arms. Content to let the
future take care of Itself.
He felt that her face was wet
Tasted the salt of her tears on his
lips and his arms tightened.
"My girl ," his voice came
smothered against ber hair. "Mad
about you from the first
lovely golden thing, you!"
The light, had darkened per
ceptibly when Ken spoke again.
"We'll have to go a little slow
at first, sweetheart. I have to con
slder mother, you know. If I went
to her and told her we we. were
lolng to be married, it would be
sort of a shock to her. You know
how old people are, Ardeth. And
I don't want lo hurt her If I can
help it. We don't want to hurt
anyone with our happiness, do we
sweetheart?
His face was a white blur in
the thick light when she glanced
up.
"Of course, If she knew you she
couldn't help but love you. I only
wish I could take you to her this
minute and say 'Mother, here's my
girl! We re going to be married'
that s what I d like to uo Arciein
But mother's well, she's a trifle

harsh." he said quickly. "But the
dear old girl's Roliu to need a lit

Ci'arned by her proud little
movement he drew her closer and
spoke hastily. "Ah don't get your

I've made up my mind for myself
but let's try not to hurt anyone
In this. You'll help me, you darl
lug?"
ireep In her heart faint doubt
was Stirling and her pride was
hurt. Hut she crushed It as dis
loyal. Ken was rfaht .... they
didn't want to hurt anyone with
their happiness.
Darkness enfolded them before
they remembered, with a rush of
laughter, that they had had no
dinner.
"Xnw. that's the way to train a
wife." Ken chuckled. "Teach Ihe
wenches to live on love! It cuts

She laughed, hut her heart had
given a mad leap of happiness. A
wife Ken's wife! Golden
wine bubbling through her veins,
turning her eyes deep and her lips
sw-eeet so that he must stop the
car to kiss her again.
They ate In a little beach restau

w here they could see the lonely
light of the Farrallones flashing on
the black horizon. Ont there the
breakers, dlm-slreaked with foam,
spreading themselves In pale scal

where a lonely girl had wept
through a lonely aiternoon how

At the thought Ardeih's eyi

Nothing could hurt them now that
Ken loved her! Oh, surely, life
would be kind. . -
Happy Thoughts ;
They drove back slowly through
the dark park. Saying little now,
content to be together. The girl's
nead rested happily against Ken s
shoulder. Now and then she turned
her eyes to watch him. and at
those times a little glow of thank
fulness and wonder was lit in ber
heart .
Ken, whom she had dreamed
about for years . .' . he loved her,
be -Had said bo! Some day . . . .
soon . . . they would be married.
At the thought she was filled with
a sweeet smothering excitement.
She lifted her finger, drew It
down the bridge of his nose. "Such
a nice nose as it has. There. I've
wanted to do thut since the very
first time you took me for a ride
"And you bolted into the bouse
and left me to drive home wonder
ing what I'd said to make you run
away."
She flushed and tried to laugh.
"un. . . you don't know my fam
ily! I've never been able to have
anyone visit me, but " She
checked herself. The thought of
Nell was disturbing Just now,
Harder than ever to leave hlin
tonight on the dark corner where
he always parked the car. Kll
street and Its gaunt wooden houses
stretching away In the night shad
ows.
Her eyes were wistful and she
clung as they said good night.
"Ken aren't I silly?. I'm
afraid "
He did not pretend to mlsund
erstand her. His arm tightened
about the slender figure. Sweet
golden eyes lo6king up at him anx
lously almost black they were
In the dusk of the car. Her mouth
was like a soft dark flower. The
young fellow's face grew tender.
"Don't be afraid, Ardeth," he
said softly. "Just trust me . . Just
give me a chance. I'll make things
come right for us."
Sho stood, on the .pavement
watching the red tnil-light of his
car disappear about the corner
and, as always, the chill senBe of
forlornness crept over ber.
Why should she feel this, Bhe
thought with a sharp sensation of
alarm, on this night of all nights
when Ken had told her that he
loved her? When they had spoken
of being married?
In the Dark
This was silly nervousness. This
was borrowing trouble. Ken s moth
er couldn't keep them apart if they
really loved each other. She must
not let doubt creep into her love
for him. She must be strong.
The glamour of the night foil
away as she walked down the
street toward the Harrison flat,
shrinking Inwardly from the ring
of her own heels on the cement.
Things unpleasant common
place tilings, relegated to the cor
ners of her mind stole out to
overwhelm her. The old, gray life,
closing In on her. The shabblness
the bickering Aunt Slel's
nagging Neil's watchful, black
eyeB and tho faint, irritated fear
he could always rouse In her. The
present stretched before her like
a gray bridge which she must
cross to reach that bright future
with Ken.
She went softly up the steep
steps of the flat and let herself
In with her latchkey. The familiar
musty smell of the hall crept about
her as she closed tho door quietly.
It brought a feeling of depression
and guilt. Aunt Stel would be
fuiious becnuse she hadn't come
home for dinner. Ardeth hoped she

She had turned to grope her way
i to the staircase which led to the
upper flat when Bhe started and
stifled a small scream.
A tall figure looming before her
In the dark hall. Tbe weak gleam
ot tbe street lamp filtering in
through the colored glass panel of
the door lit Neil's face.
He grasped her wrist "Where've
you been?" be asked between
clenched teeth.
Ardeth wrenched her arm away
and looked back at Noil with an
gry eyes.
"I told you to stop this! Coin
ing at me suddenly like this and
asking questions! , What business
Is it of yours?"
"I'll make It my business when
you stay out at this hour of the
night with other fellows. Think I
didn't see you down at the corirer

She felt her face flame in the
dark. "Understand this once and

needs your supervision! You leave
me alone!"
Her voice shook with anger, but
she kept It cautiously low.. If
Aunt Stel woke up and came out
to find them quarreling It would
mean a scene. A little sick feol

"Thrown me down for this

She was suddenly scorched with
anger. "That's rotten!" she blazed.
