"The wheat farmer's troubles are due to the fatt thnt he has produced too much wheat," the council' says. "The American people are not eating as 'much wheat as they did before the war. and foreign countries no longer ,-need .trie united States as a source of wheat, supply. During the war the people iwere .urged to eat less wheat, while ,the farmer was besought to grpw',more.'

Medford enjoyed no war prosperity, but! sintte" tlie ' war her growth and industrial improvement has been steady 'and consistent. See how the ; building'1 permit curve has) jumped : upward since 1918 from a value of $6,900 to a value of $332,335 for nine months of 3923, an increase of nearly 5000 percent in less than one year.' This record will undoubtedly be exceeded ri 1924. For Medford has a genuine house shortage. There is a crying need for more hrrnies to rent and buyf particularly 6f the better class.

There may have been millions of Germans who had not come to that realization before the mark declined to a point where a dollur brought one million murks, but when the mark fell below the value of the Russian paper ruble, German pride had such a fall thnt even the most recalcitrant followers of the ex- Kalser were humbled. In dustriallsts may have profited by the drop in the mark, as Is gen erally charged abroad; bankers muy have reaped a big harvest (they have made extensive Improvements 'In their buildings and expended fabulous sums In paper marks for better-, moms), but the distress of the avor- age mlddlo-class family cannot 'be questioned by a foreign observer who makes a study of the conditions in Germany, especially in the cities. The middle class has been reduced to penury. ; With the unemployment following tne closing down of so many factories because of the lack of fuel ' and raw materiuls and the upset condition' of transportation, the laborers and their families aro'raplfl ly getting Into the same distress that has hitherto been confined largely to white-collar folks. Most factories which have hot closed are .working only part time, and the wages huve nut kept pace with the decline I nthe mark and the increase in the price of fuel nnd foodstuffs. The unemployment doles are insu cient to supply even bread to the average family. Pood riots are ah everyday occurrence in ' most pop ulous centers. , Tne average German mother real izes as she never realized before that ' Germany lost the war. The despair written on . the ' faces of women In the markets when they inquire the prices of meat and potatoes nnd find their billions T of marks will not buy' a single meal for their children is a tragic demonstration of that rehllza-' tlon. i I TELEPHONE - , 1 - ltc-Mcn Thrill, PukO ' There aro few If .any. picture fans ' who did : not see the epoch-making produotlon of Rex Bench's novel of j adventure In Alaska, "The Spoilers," made ten years ago by William Bollg.
