Terms of Subscription One Year $2.00 ' Six Months $1.00 Three Months $0.50 SUITS WORLD CONDITIONS "In his address at Portland the other day Eugene Meyer jr., managing director of the war finance corporation, brought out a thought regarding orderly marketing of wheat that lias perhaps been generally overlooked. Mr. Meyer has recently returned from a trip to Europe where be spent some time looking into lmancial and trade condi lions and he learned that because of the present financia situation over there England and the continent are no longer able to buy a year's supply of wheat within th three-month period during and following the American barvest but are compelled to buy from month to month according to their needs. England, Mr. Meyer tells us. .was able a year ago to buy only 15 per cent of the wheat they would need during the year and continental countries could not do even that well. I he effect of that condition, the speaker declared can only be a glut and depression of ju'ices for' the export, surplus in this country if we continue to dump our crop immediately after harvest, and he urged the development of co-operative, orderly marketing as the only means of stabilizing prices and insuring to the Amer ican wheat farmer cost of production and a decent profit on his crop. It thus appears that the idea of orderly marketing, which "was the foundation of the co-operative marketing plan, suits present world conditions even bettor than its origina tors expected. Mr. Meyer concludes, therefore, that the only solution is Jor the United States to devise some system whereby this surplus can be held at home, until the foreign demand ap pears and in orderly, co-operative marketing lies that so lution. Dealers and exporters have held off from buying freely this year because they have feared the dumping of large iiiantities and a consequent break in the market leaving the wheat on their bands. Ura.il has adopted some such plan to control their coffee market. With an enormous surplus of coffee in that country the world, a few months ago expected cheap coffee but the l'ra.iliaiis devised an orderly marketing plan for their commodity by which the surplus, is being held in the interior and fed out to the market according to the demand and the world is still paying the same; price for coffee as before. j Are Brazilians better financiers and wiser economists than Americans? overseas counted that same wheat belt as one of their vital sinews of war not so long since we were begging the mei. who sweat that grain out of the ground to go the limit an look to the nation for a gu;. antee against failure! It too time to get those extra acn , into wheat. It takes time t get them out of wheat. 'A farm differs from a corporation. One big difference is that every farm is built up directly about a home. Then are more than a hundred thousand homes in distress in the wheat country. 'J o them it is the aftermath of war; ar altermath they have not known how to dodcre. After all cold economics may take on many a warm slant when it concerns the national bread hne.

THE WRONG ROAD By ROSE MEREDITH A ROOSEVELT SPEAKS In an address before an' audience of farmers at the New ?Vork State hair, Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, delivered an address which for force, direct ness, good sense and honesty was worthy of his illustrious father. Mr. Koosevelt pointed out thai the only hope for the farmer ies in a co operative marketing organization. I lis presentation of the case for co-operation was so clear and incontrovertible that we herewith produce it in the hope (hat some farmers who are still outside the grow ers associations f the country, may read- the argument and lie convinced. It follows: "In my opinion," Mr. Koosevelt said, "the farmer has not kept step with the times. The day of the small in dividual has passed. Keonomy and efficiency are vital to success and ill is axiomatic that either in buying or selling, if you deal in bujk, you can deal to your advantage. "There is one way and one way only that the farmer can meet this condition, lie must combine. "Co operation is necessary for the salvation of the fanner, and' the salvation of the farmer is necessary for the salvation of the general public." One effect of co-operation in the future may be expected in improved warehousing, the speaker predicted, with huge storage plants properly located at strategic points in re bil ion to materials. These, he believed, should be1 tAvned by the farmers' co operatives themselves, for besides being better managed, the "polities which invariably creep into state owned in dustries could be kept out." THE DEPARTMENT'S VIEW Accounts of the wheat situation coming from farm sources have been accused of being colored to suit the ialse" ideas and desires of the grower. It is easy to say to the fanner, "Reduce your acreage." The Department t Agriculture sees another angle, and excellently presents it in these words: ( "The wheal situation is still something to be reck l(ti, by McClme Kewupaper Synmciue.) 'TU1K fortune teller's tent was sur- rounded by an eager crowd of young peoiile awaiting turn to huve the future revealed. Nancy Klair threw a passing glance at the red tent as she passed along with her tray of Mowers. Home one stopped her. "Nancy, dear, I will buy a posy lie- fore I go In to have my fortune told I am hoping fur u good fortune." Health und wealth?" asked Nancy tritely. All that, and the inevitable hus band," answered the other carelessly. Come on in, Nan, and have yours told with me it will he heaps of fun." One at a time, pretty ladles,' whined the gypsy's voice from an in ner tent. "One at a time, and cross my palm with silver and you shall have a beautiful fortune " I want the truth," came Nancy's trained young voice. "Always the truth I dare not tell otherwise," rambled the woman's deep tones. "You first, Elizabeth," she urged, and her friend slipped into the close shadows of die inner tent. Nancy waited In the gloomy, shrouded place. Suddenly Elizabeth burnt out of the tent. "Oh, Nan, such fun I She bus told me so much of the past und 8he says I will never be rich, but that I shall marry a learned man with a mole on his ear." Her voice dropped to a whisper. "Of course, It's Professor Kamsey." She vanished outside, and Nancy slipped Into the tent. "Cross my palm with silver," muni bled the old crone. A silver quarter fell from Nancy's lingers and was quickly pouched. A, greasy looking pack of cards was shuf fled ami deftly fluttered Into an or derly row on the ground. "The past an open booS happy childhood girlhood much learning a sweet singing voice, a Joyous heart, loved by many men." "Oh, no!" Interrupted Nan breath lessly, "only n few, a very few fool ish ones never," with a little break In her tone, "never the right one." "Who knows I lie right one?" grum bled the woman, shullling the cards again; "here is a fair man he Is rich - lie bus U.ved you a long time " "Xo, no" murmured Nancy, "I do not like jour fortune I do not like fair men" "Vmi will cross water tomorrow you will play on green grass under blue skies and the lair man will fol low, follow you" Nancy groaned Inwardly. She had promised to play golf with Doctor Liu-ruble at the club on the morrow. She was doing It Just to spite I.arry Corning, who had been away on a business trip and who had not re turned In time for the church fair, now going on. She had written him a tiny little note reminding him of the fall- and he had not replied. "I hate Mm !" she suddenly ex claimed "Fute conquers all hate the fair man If you will, lady. . . ." "No, I hate dark men," she corrected Invputlently. "Hurry ou with my for tune, please. The fortune the for tune," and unother silver piece was dropped on the scattered cards. The coin fell on the knave of clubs. "HI!" exclaimed the gypsy, "see the good omen, lady, the coin has fallen on the dark gentleman fortune is near a dark lover would woo you, but you are cold to him he has little t now a mutable sneeze had escaped. Fury shook her very heart. What had she betrayed? She turned and led through the thinning crowd of people. As she ran hot tears coursed down her flaming cneeKs. now she hated him how Some one overtook her and folded her In Happing draperies. It was the gypsy fortune teller, now towering his six feet above her. "Ah, pretty lady," lie pleaded, "it was not my fault, und I love you so" "Wh-wh-y didn't you tell me be fore?" gasped Nancy, "mid besides, have just said I hated you, Lurry." Larry stooped again and kissed her lips. "If you hate me like this, darling. I will not ask for love," he dared to say. "Pretty lady, you will marry a poor man who loves you, and you wi lie happy forever after and so will I, declared this unusual seer.

McConnell of the Methodist Epis copal Church was Interrupted while delivering a sermon at the First Methodist Church here Sunday night by nine klansmen in full regalia. The klansmen marched down the main aisle and the leader offered the bishop an envelope. The bishop declined to accept it, saying: "You have a perfectl right to your own convictions, but you have no right to come into a religious meet ing with inaskes on your faces. And you have no rignt to interrupt a re ligious service." Tli,e klansmen then turned and marched out.
