SHORTAGE OF WHEAT
TO BE FELT LATER
EIGHT-YEAR-OLD GIRLr WHOSE LIFE HAS BEEN COMPLICATED BY
SERIES OF DOMESTIC INTRIGUES AND KIDNAPINGS.
World's Trade Never Before
Confronted With Situation
Like the Present One.
BUYERS HAVE HELD OFF
United States Has No Actual Sur
plus in Sight and Depends on -Carry
- Over for Export.
High Grades Scarce.
CHICAGO. Aug. 18. (Special.) The
wheat trade of the -world haa never
been confronted with a situation like
the present. The world's crop Is short
and there Is the closest adjustment the
trade has known.
There Is no actual scarcity at present,
but there Is likely to be later In the
season. What prices will do no one
can tell. They are abnormally hlgrh.
It Is a suDDly and demand situation.
but with increased speculation in this
country and Europe it is difficult to
keep prices down.
The Government report ffiven to the
. trade last Tuesday was the most sen
sational known. To have the crop cut
down 104.000.000 bushels in 30 days
was not expected. Early In the sea
son thoje who figured on a crop of
760,000.000 bushels were thought to be
low, but the August report of the De
partment of Agriculture suggested
654.000,000 bushels and there Is a prob
ability that the figures will be cut
down next month.
Export Surplus Small.
The United States has raised no
more wheat than home requirements
and depends upon the carry-over ot
160.000,000 bushels for Its exportable
- surplus, which is estimated at 15.000,
000 busheln.
Broomhall says North America will
be called on to furnish Europe with
344.000,000 bushels this season. The
question is how it can be done with
out a practical exhaustion of supplies
in the United States and. Canada.
Canada i not expected to have more
than 200,000.000 bushels in the three
Western provinces this year and some
of the estimates tre materially lower.
Rust and hail have done much dam
age an within the last few days frost
has appeared, catching a large per
centage of the crop in the milk ami
greatly damaging it.
That the Spring wheat In the Ameri
can and Canadian Northwest will be
of lower grade this year is tsertaln.
This means '.hat the percentage of
good Spring wheat will be small and
a scarcity of high-grade milling, which
will command a big price.
Consumers Have tothlnsr Ahead.
To make the situation hard on the
consumer is the failure of the millers,
and particularly the flour distributors
and larcre consumers, to buy their sup
plies ahead, as they have for several
seasons.
Klour buyers early in the season
thought they would get their flour on
the basis of $1 for wheat and held off.
The advance in wheat has been so rapid
that they became frightened and have
been afraid to buy. except as required
and it looks as though theywlll con
tinue this policy.
This may slightly increase the price
of bread, but the producer is greatly
benefited and haa a good profit in his
crop, while at the last of June he was
barely breaking even.
Wheat prices have advanced 25 cents
from the low price of the previous week
and 44 cents from the lowest of the
season.
The visible supply in this country and
Europe is unusually large, and Broom-
hall estimates that the world's supply
taking wheat in every position, is
200,000.000 bushels more than last
year. Much of this, however, is not
available.

BRIEF CAREER IS EXCITING
Dnchess, Wlio Formerly Was Elea
nor Patterson, American, Lives
In Dread, However, of Los
ing Daughter Again.
NEWPORT, R. I.. Aug. 12. (Special.)
Among the happy little folks spend
ing their mornings on Bailey s eacn.
at Newport, this Summer. Is little Leon
ora Felicia Gizycka, 8-year-old daugh
ter of Countess Gizycka, formerly
Eleanor Patterson, of Chicago and
Washington.
Miss Gizycka was the principal In a
series of kidnapings in Europe after
the separation of her mother and
father, the Countess and Count Gizycka
The couple there separated after a few
stormy years of marital unhappiness.
Then followed a series of sensational
kidnapings In Europe. First the Count
kidnaped his daughter, then the Count
ess kidnaped her and finally when the
child came into her mother's hands
they fled to America.
Few children have had such an ex
citing career as the little Countess. At
one time it was through the efforts
of J. Medill McCormick that an or
der was obtained from the Czar for the
return of the child to her mother. It Is
said that the Countess, the little girl's
mother, lives in dread that her daugh
ter may be again kidnaped and taken to
Europe, but the child seems to have
no foreboding and is noted for her
merry disposition and love of fun.

years In the neighborhood of $2,000,000

Incumbent on the Government to build

The Walsh amendment appropriates
$1,000,000 a year for roads tn reserves,
as a recompense to the states for the
loss of taxes, and accepting the For

$127,758 in lieu of taxes it could col
lect if its forest reserves were in pri
vate ownership. This is equivalent to
tax of one mill on the dollar.
The Forest Service, before announc
ing its plan of apportionment, called to
gether the members of Congress from
the Western states and laid before them
two alternate plans, one, the plan
afterward approved by a large majority
of the members, which was adopted on
motion of Representative Hewley. of
Oregon, and the other plan a distribu
tion based two-thirds on the area of
lands in reserves and one-third on the
value of the timber and grazing re
sources. The Rocky Mountain states
favored the latter plan, but in view of
the fact that the law specifically
states that in making the apportion,
raent, consideration shall be paid the
value of resources that may be opened
up by the roads, the Pacific Coast menf
bers objected.
