day morning.
s Biipply goes down, price goes
up. That f one of the oldest laws
In the world, and nobody lias ever
been able to repeal It though
many hopeful schemers have tried.
KJEWS of crop losses, which
' boost the price, is good news
to those who AREN'T hurt; had
news to those who ARE.
For the country as a whole big
people, little people, all kinds of
people crop losses are always
bad news, for they mean scarcity,
high prices and fewer of the good
things of life to enjoy.
No people ever yet became rich
and happy out of. scarcity. ' '
INTBRESTJNG, but not good,
news is this:
'Word from Rome Is that al

pected In Italy thin season Italy Is
buying OUTSIDE WHEAT."
Why?
Italy Is anticipating war, and

can't win so good
a thine. If they have to plagiarize.
This Owen W. Matthews had
some thoughts, and he could write
"em; when his essay reached the
judges, It really did delight 'em
He says his Inspiration came at a
Boy Scout Jamboree which, though
the name sounds like It, Is not
drunken spree: It's a place where
Boy Scouts gather from every tbr-
elgn land, and form ft host ' of
friendships that develop and ex
pand; and there they get the vt

which, when these boys are grown
