THE WORLD'S WHEAT OUTLOOK The senate stands pat on its demand for $2.50 wheat, and unless the house recedes there is liable to be a dead lock. It is probable the senate will win, since the elec tions are coming on and the members of the house will not tand in the way of getting the farmers' votes. This will mean an- advance of about one dollar a barrel over the present prices of flour. The senators from the grain growing states are urging the increased price. Crop indications are encouraging and apparently next to the largest Avheat crop ever grown in the United States will be harvested, if, indeed, it does not prove the bumper crop. In spite of this it is pointed out that we must con serve wheat against a possible poor year in 1919, or until there Is an increase of shipping that will permit the handling of the grain of Australia, the Argentine and India. Once this is accomplished, there will be plenty of wheat for such of the world as is able to reach the sources of supply. The information coming from Russia and Rumania is to the effect that not only were the Germans disappointed as to the supply in those counnes from last year s crop, but that conditions are such this year that the harvest will be light owing to the tremendous decrease in acreage. As it is now, Russia is suffering, for food, and white flour is reported to be selling at $150 a barrel, when there is any to be sold. So while the outlook for the allies for an abundance of breadstuffs is good, it is far from being so from the Central Powers' view point. Con sidered from a humanitarian standpoint this is the besi thing that could happen to the Germans. Starvation may save them countless thousands of lives, if it hastens the 5ay when they realize they cannot win, and causes them to take the necessary steps to place their country in a position under which peace can be made with it. Until they do this there can be no peace for the simple reason, the Central Towers have no government with which a treaty of peace can be negotiated. The wheat crop, or the lack of it may be the final means of bringing peace. Napoleon said an army tights on its stomach." While this is true, it is also true that a starving populace fights over it when it is empty. Lend a Hand, the prison paper, describing the fight between McAlister and Quinn in which the latter was stabbed so severely that his recovery is doubtful, says McAlister claims he was sitting in a chair reading when Quinn slipped in where he was and attacked him with a filing shot made of a stone in a sock. Repeating Mc Alister's story it says: "McAlister then grabbed a six inch dirk with a heavy handle and shot it full length into Quinn's breast." The mystifying part of the story to an "outsider" is how such a dirk came to be lying around where McAlister could grab it. Even with the governor's litter lack of understanding of prison matters it is not i.upposable that he had anything to do with having deadly weapons lying around handy where they could be grabbed jf needed. Lend a Hand says both men are degenerates, and adds that "there is absolutely no method possible of controlling such moral degenerates as these two were known to be, and a lot of others of the same calibre." The editor evidently understands the character of the men which apparently those over them did not, for had they done so neither of them would have been given the oppor tunity to injure the other. FIFTEEN MONTHS OF WAR It is officially announced that over one million Amer ican soldiers, fully armed, equipped and munitioned, are in the war zone in France. Back in this country in var ious stages of training are over a million and a half more who are being steadily transported across the ocean. American heavy ordnance is now going rapidly across ihe water and machine guns and light artillery are being turned out in vast quantities from American factories. Shipping facilities have kept pace with the transporta tion of the army to France and one million tons of new boats will be launched on the Fourth of July. American aviators in American-made machines are gathering laurels every day. This is the wonderful record of fifteen months of war in spite of all the kickers of the Teddy Roosevelt stripe, who have lied and misrepresented about the progress of work and organizaion and sought to hinder by creating dissatisfaction and distrust. Secretaries Baker and Daniels have accomplished wonders in spite of Roosevelt, and senators like Chamber lain, Lodge, Sherman, Brandegee et al, and a partisan press which has done much, wittingly or unwittingly, to advance the kaiser s propaganda campaign in this country. i The Woman Who Changed J 1 By JANE PHELPS LIFE WHAT WE MAKE IT. The battle Monday night in which the Americans cap tured the town of Vaux, and so made the important rail road center at Chateau-Thierry useless to Hindenburg, is considered by military experts the most notable achieve ment of the Americans during the war. With the position 450 prisoners were captured. The railroad center was of great importance, to the Germans, being on the main line of communication between the Marne and Aisne fronts, ?nd its loss is a severe blow making communication be iween the two fronts much more difficult. The drive was well planned each soldier knowing exactly where he was supposed to strike the town of Vaux, and this had been so thoroughly shelled before the attack, that it is stated every house in the town had been struck. When the drive started it was just 23 minutes until it was completed and the objectives gamed. The expression among mili tary men at Washington wa3 "Great work." There should be a mutual rejoicing in Berlin and hell since the kaiser's U-boats have sunk another hospital ship and murdered . 244 men whose lives vere devoted to humanitarian pursuits. . - - " u s . The Lenine-Trotsky regime in Russia is so bad that most honest people throughout the world wouldn't object to seeing the czar come back. - Rippling Rhymes Just as a matter of history now that the Americans, English and French are fighting side by side for the liberty of the world, on July Fourth, 1751, George Wash ington, who had been sent against the French at Fort DuQuesne was beaten by them at Fort Necessity, and sur rendered. That was but 1G4 years ago, and since that time we have had two wars with England and one and almost another with France, and came near having a third with our present great friend, England, during the civil war. Now the whole world is fighting against Ger many for the same principles we fought the mother country to establish. At the same time it should be re . jnembered that during all our wars Russia always stood the firm friend of America. LADD & BUSH, Bankers ALL THE THIRD LIBERTY BONDS ARE NOW HERE.

How good it makes a fellow feel, to do his little trick, when he's too old, to take his steel, and carve a Teuton hick! He feels his jaded spirits rise, he knowrs he's safe and sane; he views his garden plot and cries, "I have not lived in vain !" There are so many ways to aid, that no one need despond; the coin I've saved with hoe and spade, will buy another bond.

There may be diseases of the hairy scalp among savages, and others who never wear any head covering, but I do not remem ber to have seen any account of them. Certainly, savages shave the hair from their heads, for what we call "cosmetic effect," or perhaps for lear It may fall out from disease. I)ut such diseases as fevers, which result In loss of hair, are not very common among thein as long as they are free from the vices and restraints of civilization. We can therefore say that bald ness U one of the ills which has come with social development. Dandruff ofteil causes baldness and means an excessive supply of the oily, greasy Bubstance provided by the sebaceous glands' to keep the hair smooth and soft under nor mal conditions. When It la very abundant In the form of dry scales, or small oily lumps, it loosens the attachment of the root of the hair to its follicle, and the hair falls out or may be easily pulled out. If there is an Insufficiency of this same oily material, the hair be comes dry and brittle and breaks or splits off. There are numerous diseases of the scalp in which the hair is lost. When these diseases are cured, the hair will grow again In some cases, nnd In others it will not, its root structure having been de stroyed. The treatment of these diseases Is an Important branch of derma tology, and includes the treatment of baldness and diseased structure of the hair and Its surrounding tis sues. Some of the preparations which have been advertised and used as hair remedies, have stood the test of years, and this is not an unim portant test in determining their value If, after using such a preparation a few weeks, the hair gets longer and thicker or grows where it pre viously wa3 absent, and if dand ruff disappears, it Is fair to say the preparation used had sometiiirg to do with it. Fashions in hair romedies change, like fashions In clothes. A few years ago, pomades and nils for the hair wore popular, and oikd and scented ringlets were marks of beauty. Such overdosing of the hair and surrounding tissues, probably caused much baldness, and perhaps tnat is why it was given up. Hair that is dry and brittle neada oil; hair that Is normal does not Hair that is greasy from too much sebaceous matter, needs an astrin gent to dry up the excessive secre tion. Simple, diluted alcohol or bay rum will do this as well as expen sive lotions and tonics. If the hair has fallen out, and the root structure is not dead, stimu lant substances, like cantharides or mustard or nux vomica, will often' start a new growth and hair tonict containing these substances may be useful. If the matrix and the sebaceous glands connected, with the hair structures are dead, no tonic will revive them. The treating of the hair, even br those who are skilled, is therefore in many cases a matter of experi ment and it Is wiser to get the opinion of a dermatologist as to what may be useful, than to depend upon one's own opinion or the rec ommendation of friends. i.
