CHICAGO, Nov. 29. iFather, iribth'
er and the children will have a "toast-:
Ine time of It" after December 3. It ,
they 'follow the dictates 'of the Wheat'
Council ' of ' the United ' States,' which'1
has announced a movement to popu-j
' larlze the greater use of toast with
the American public. i
' . ' All 'food Industries and Interests of
i tha; country are -cooperating- In this
concerted' effort to promote; through
toast, a greater consumption of wheat
Bo that the huge surplus may be re
duced, the Wheat Council states, add
:: In? that it Is believed bread oonsump
j tlon can be Increased as much as: 10
J;por cent. by showing consumers how
,toaii ,ciin te prepared in the most ap
i, etizing way, , :. , .,
. "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.' T.he time has come to
: reverse th war processes and ; until
this is doni the 2,23.5,000 farmers who
grow wheat cannot prosper." ,
Dr.' L. J. Rumsdy, member of the
department of research and develop
ment of the American Institute of
Baking, and Grosven.or Dawe, secre-
i tary of the Wheat Council and former
editor of "The Nation's Business,"

BUILDING PEEWITS.
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 is a great
opportunity here' tof business capital to 'make a ( safe and profitable
investment in new ana mouern nome cousirucium.

American newspapers that Uerinans
realize', they lost the war, he voiced
no untruth. 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

hit around. .400 and was the home-run
king of the league.,. In private life
his batting average was practically
nil. Physically he was a' battleship,
norally a derelict. But because his
private life was his own and his pro
fessional .life the public's, It was the
latter side of his nature that "got Into

Every kid who swung a bat on '

a hero with the lads who loved the

It was a thrill to the kids, and be
cause it depicted Bat as the cleanest
