that I could not stand the pain any
longer and sent him to the drug-store
to get me a bottle of Lydia E. Pink

the doctor’s medicine away. After

“How old are you?” asked Jack.
“Forty-two," was the reply.
“Well,” retorted Jack,” “I have a

The Coming Food Crisis.
From the Springfield Republican.
The evidence now seertis overwhelming that considerably less food will
be produced in North America this year than last year. The south temper
ate zone has just completed a crop season and its two great surplus food
growing countries, Argentina and Australia, report disappointing harvests.
In the United States and Canada, the only agricultural countries remaining
in the world upon which tl)e human race depends Tor a large exportable sur
. plus, the spring conditions are unfavorable. The planting season is veiy
late; the railroad tie ups and freight congestion have seriously delayed the
shipments of fertilizers to the farms of the country; farm labor is unprece
dentedly scarce and costly and the tendency is widespread for the smaller
farmers to cultivate only such an acreage of land as they can care for with
out hired help. No contribution to the world’s exportable food supply can
be expected this year, or perhaps next year, from central and eastern Eu
rope. Rumania and Hungary before the great war could be depended upon
for wheat, as the middle and western European countries could be depended
upon for beet sugar, but Rumania and Hungary must be dismissed to.’ the
present from all calculations. Russia’s great wheat belt is in the Ukraine
but the new Polish war of conquest as far south as Odessa is not the r g 1
sort of spring planting. The come back of Russia as a food exporting coun
try on a large scale still seems rather remote, regardless of bolshevism, ir
a new cycle of wars must be fought for the political control of the rich wes
em zone of the old empire stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
The economic chaos and dismal social misery of eastern Europe is n°w
so extreme that one might see in_ this condition the clear warning of^ je
downfall of civilization? Tt Is' many"centuries since the situation of a vast
population was more critical. Those wretched human hordes, now more than
half starved, must be kept alive in the next few years, if they are to sur
vive, by means of the surplus food grown elsewhere—which is where America
comes in. It is futile, perhaps, in these days to talk about attaining a higher
civilization; the present task is to hold on to what civilization the world al
ready has. The first essential of civilization is food.
Newspaper headlines suggest that here in the United States bread may
before long go up. to 25 cents a loaf. This fear is not based on the short
winter wheat crop, for the United States could grow enough wheat in .he
worst season imaginable to feed its own people at a price by no means ex
cessive, provided that little wheat or wheat flour were exported. The trouble
now anticipated arises, first, from the European demand for American flour;
second, from the end on June 1 of the regulation of wheat prices by the
United States government.
The question immediately arises whether government control of me
market should not be continued, if such consequences of its expiration are
threatened. After the armistice, the cry arose that the government should
get out of business immediately, and the government did get out of busi
ness as fast as It could. But there were some disastrous results, as in the
case of sugar. Everybody now wishes that sugar had been kept under direct
government control. The railroads have gone back, also, but railroad trans
portation suffers. It may turn out that a monumental mistake will be made
in lettiner trovernment control of the grain market prematurely expire.

HE more hours you can make
your tractor work, the less you

When Greeks Won Over the Italians.
Rome Correspondence of the London
Times, April 25.
The final acceptance at San Remo of
the greater part of M. Venizelos’ pro
gram Is very strongly criticised here.
The grounds of the criticism are two.
It is asked how It can be held to justify
the extension of Greek rule over such
a large non-Greek population. It is also
urged that the handing over of these
populations to Greece will inevitably
mean the resumption of fighting, if not
today or tomorrow, at least in the near
future.
U is said by many people that the de
cisions in regard to Greek claims are
not only impractical, they are unjust.
It is claimed, moreover, that they are
a flagrant outrage of the principles
which are still devoutly invoked in the
case of Italian claims.
This morning's Messaggero, com
menting on the report that a return will
probably be made to the December
memorandum on the Adriatic question,
savs it is useless to inveigh against this
solution, and that criticism should rath
er be directed against those failed to
convince Mr. "Wilson when it was possi
ble. It suggests that “Perhaps they did
not see that Mr. Wilson, afteg having
permitted the massacre of his points,
where they were in contrast with the
Interest of other allies, would have re
served an ms energetic intransigence
for our hurt.”
As I have said before, this belief is
the utterly unequal application of the 14
points and the Wilson principles is uni
versal in Italy. 1 have not found one
Italian who does not hold this belief,
and it is not unnatural that bitter com
ment should be revived by the placet
given to Greek claims while the presi
dential “No” still blocks the way to a
just solution of the Adriatic question.

Terracing Is easy with a ditcher

BURNING UP OIL.
From the Bankers Trust Co.
Oil fuel has, to a great extent, super
seded coal In the new American mer
chant marine. Of the 1,706 steel ships,
comprising a deadweight tonnage of 11,
647,386 recently on the shipping hoard's
construction program. Approximately
79 per cent, were planned as oil burners.
In addition, American yards are build
ing for private Interests more than 1,
250,000 tons of merchant ships, practically
all of which are designed as oil burn
ers. The division of operations of the
United States shipping board, calculates
that with the beginning of the year 1921
nearly 60,000,000 barrels of oil, a year
will be needed for the ships ntfw ope
rated by the United States shipping
board, excluding any private construc
tion done after August 1, 1919.
The greater advantages from oil come
from curtailment of the crew, saving In
fuel consumption, greater speed and in
creased cargo space. The reduced costs
give an improved competitive ability
with nations naving lower wage stand
ards.
Other points advanced in favor of oi]
are the better control of steaming, be
cause fires can be started and stopped
instantly, steam raised quickly, and time
in port saved through the greater ease
of taking on oil as contrasted with coal.
It Is also claimed that oil does not de
teriorate, that it eliminates the danger
of fire from spontaneous combustion and
is not subject to the danger of shifting
in a rough sea.
Beggars Left Fortunes.
From the Detroit News.
Thomas Cooke, known as “the Isling
ton miser,” who lived a life of penury,
saving and petty trickery in Islington,
a borough of London, England, left a
fortune of more than $300,000 for hi*
heirs to squabble over after his death.
Cooke managed to get his meals free oi
cost by the old and yet ever new trick
of falling in a pretended fit in front of a
house at dinner time. He would be car
ried into a house and then, on making
his usual quick recovery, he naturally
would be asked to share the meal.
Among other beggars who left for
tunes after their death was Jeremiah
Monihan, upon whom, when he was
brought to be buried in St. Louis, was
found a key to a safety deposit box. The
safety box contained $60,000 in perfectly
good interest bearing bonds.
Another, Marshall McMurran, a rag
ged recluse, was found in a starving
condition in his tumbledown shack or
the outskirts of Evansville, Ind. He was
taken before a commission for examina
tion as to his sanity and when he was
searched $22,000 was found in the lining
cf his coat and In his pockets.

Are You Human?
A little baby. A little child. Don’t they appeal to you ? Doesn’t your
heart yearn to pick them up, to cuddle them close to you, to shield them
from all harm? sure it does else you’re not human. Being human you love
them. Their very helplessness makes you reach out in all your strength to aid ’
them. In health there’s no flower so beautiful. In illness there’s no night so
black.
Save them then. Use every precaution. Take no chance.
When sickness comes, as sickness will, remember its just a baby, just a
child and if the Physician isn’t at hand don’t try some remedy that you may
have around the house for your own use.

Do the People Know?
Do you know why you are asked to call for Fletcher’s Castoria
when you want a child’s remedy: why you must insist on Fletcher’s?
For years we have been explaining how the popularity of
Fletcher’s Castoria has brought out innumerable imitations, sub
stitutes and counterfeits.
To protect the babies: to shield the homes and in defense of
generations to come we appeal to the better juugment of parents to
insist on having Fletcher’s Castoria when in need of a child’s med
icine. And remember above all things that a child’s medicine is
made for children—a medicine prepared for grown-ups is not inter
changeable. A baby’s food for a baby. And a baby’s medicine is
just as essential for the baby.
The Castoria Recipe (it’s on every wrapper) has been prepared by
the same hands in the 6»me manner for so many years that the signa-4

“Of course, In Munich the nrt stu

“ ‘Another large beer and two frank

a Munich waiter sang out one night.
“‘Only give Student Cobb one frank

“ ‘I’ve already attended to that,’ said
tlie waiter. Cobb ordered four frank
