Wheat SurpI us Overestimated, Canadian View Broomhall’s Figures Exagger ated, Says Winnipeg Author ity, Who Puts Carry-Over Same as Last Year. That British wheat importers, rep resented by the famous Liverpool house, Broomhall's, have overestim ated the available supply of wheat by 208,000,000 bushels is the belief ex pressed by Cathcart & Co., a con servative, well-established grain house of Winnipeg. Instead of a carry-over ■f 206,000.000 bushels ns claimed by i lie British House, the Canadian firm - stimntes the sumo as last year, 88. 000,000 bushels. In a recent state ment the Canadian concern says: Dear Sirs: "W'e have had for the last several months a. great many very bearish figures on the worlds wheat situa tion, the majority of which appeared io be repetitions of estimates made by Rroomhall’s Corn Trade Newsom the world’s supply and demand situation. < >n November 27 ho estimated im porters' purchases at 656,000,000 >"_:sheis and exporters' surplus at ''52,000,000. On December 4 these figures were changed and made 6,88, '"'0,000 and 084,000,000 respectively. Following is a comparison of the i wo -estimates: Broomhall’s Cath’t .1- Co I'nited States .. . _ jt ti'ni.iior, s:,.nnn.nno Canada .:i60.no0.000 360,oon.ono sri?pnfinfc ... 2nn.nn0.non I77,oon,ono \untralia . ss.ono.oon 77.ono.oon India .4V.000.00O 13.000,000 ItUKsia .32.000.000 32.000.non l>anub« . 32,000,000 r>2,00n.ooo Total .9V4,noo.OOO 776.000.000 "W'e do not know how much Russia nr the Danube will ship so that we ■dial! allow that his figures for those countries are correct, though Russia s always an unknown quantity and even at the present time we are hear mg of great distress from some sec tions owing to lack of food," says Cathcart. "India he gives 48.000,000 bushels whereas shipments from August to December have been 4.SOO.OOO, so that the amount that can lie looked for from India would be 13,000,000 at i lie most. “The Australian surplus has been raised from 72.000,000 to 88,000,000 although in the Broomhall Corn Trade News of December 4, when tills change was nmde, his own agent estimates a surplus of 77,000,000. Argentina Is estimated to have 200, 000,000 bushels surplus whereas the largest estimate we have seen is 177, 000,000 and recent rains are said to be delaying harvesting though no in formation is available as to wh' tlicr there lias been any loss in q":intity. Deterioration In quality Is •irobobie. "Canada Is estimated to have 3*0 "00,000 bushels, which is about right if our western crop is 450,000.000. which is the generally accepted figure. The Northwest Grain dealers several days ago estimated the crop at 428, 000,000, and if the same percentage of tills year’s crop has moved up to date as moved out of last year's crop up to the same date, allowing 50, "00,000 for seed and feed, our crop would just be 42 8,000,000. “The United States surplus of 224, "00,000 seems to lie very much too high. The United States govern ment estimates the crop at 785,000, 000. Allowing 610,000,000 for food and seed and 90,000,000 for feed on the farms which is the government estimate, it would leave 85,000,000 for export. "Therefore, If the above figures which we have given are correct, and they are all substantiated by govern ment or private estimates of the available surplus from each country, instead of there being a surplus as estimated by Broomhall of 296,000,000. I here is a surplus of only 88.000,000 bushels, which is surely not a very large carryover, especially when the price of wheat compared to other ar ticles Is considered." Farmers Push Norris Scheme Organizations in 11 States i«-Seml Delegates to Vt ashing ton to Support Bill. Sioux Falls. S. D..

Iowa Farm Bureau Leader Is Graduate of Farm School Thirty ^ oars of Work for Agricultural Industry 1« Record of Charles W. Hunt. Charles W. Hunt Is secretary-treas urer of the Iowa Farm Bureau feder ation. Mr. Hunt was horn in Harri son county. Iowa on January 2, 1S64. He grew to manhood on the farm where he was born, and spent several terms as a country' schoolmaster. His tory tells us of the hardships and scarcity of money in those days. The few dollars which he accumulated os a pedagogue enabled him to graduate from Iowa State Agricultural college, where he was a classmate of Henry Wallace, secretary of agriculture. After completing ills college course Mr. Hunt, returned to Ills childhood home and took upon himself the re sponsibility of a fanner, which was generally and principally known as an occupation for feeding one's seif, hut after following the forward march of Mr. Hunt, it is evident that he saw or dreamed of the possibilities and prob abilities ahead, and zealously under took to prove that his visions were practical, and that agriculture would at length become the world's salva tion. During his years of toll which were solemnly apprehensive, he oftentimes declared with absolute sincerity that he was working for nothing and boarding himself. For the past 30 years Mr. Hunt has been prominent in agricultural edu cational work. He served two sue Charles W. Hunt. cesslve terms as state representative, arul was a member of Hoover's advi* ory committee at Washington during the world war. lie was one of the sponsors of the farm bureau, and saw It grow from mere Illusion into real ity. lie was president of the Iowa State Farm Bureau federation from March, 1920, until May, 1923, when he was tendered the position which he now holds.

But his display apparently made no Impression upon Stella. For when lie had finished all she said was. just as if she hadn't been listening, "I don't want a divorce, and," she added, "what’s more I don't intend to have one." Mr. Morley Smith frowned and shrugged. Then, balancing the tips of his elbows on the arms of Ills chair, and the tips of the fingers of his left hand nicely against the tips of the fingers of his right, he said, "That’s a pity." "fin sorry to disoblige Stephen, I'm sure." said Stella, shrugging too. "I mean a pity for you." flashed back Mr. Smith. And the smile and suave manner had disappeared. "Mr. Dallas can obtain his divorce with out the least difficulty In the world, by another method. Don't have any doubt on that point. But the other method will not he exactly to your liking. I fear." he announced, fas tening his keen shrewd eyes upon Stella. "1 always feel sorry for any woman," he went on, "whose mis takes and misdemeanors of a dozen years are dragged out hy opposing lawyers from the little hiding places where she thought they were safe, and held up for the curious public to gape at and glory in. Your husband, Mrs. Dallas, in allowing you to bring suit against him, instead of the other way round, is acting chivalrously. He Is offering you an avenue of es cape. "I don't want any avenue of es cape," Stella retorted. "I tell you I don't want a divorce.” Really it was annoying. Mr. Mor ley Smith couldn't make the least Indentation on her. "It looks to me. Mrs. Dallas, as if you will tie obliged to have a divorce whether you want to or not." "I don't know why. 1 don't pre tend to know anything about the law, but I've got some good common sense, and I never heard of a woman's be ing forced to get a divorce from hei husband because he happens to want to go and get married again. Stephen does want to get married again, doesn’t he?” "That's entirely a side Issue In this case, Mrs. Dallas. I am unable to inform you.” "Well, he d^es. I know he does." "I should think under the circum stances he would wish to feel free to marry again." "Well, he can't do it. and that's all there Is to It. You can go hack to New York and tell him that 1 refuse, with thanks, his chivalrous offer. Gracious. I don't call it exactly chivalrous for a man to walk off and leave his wife for seven years, and then, when he gets good and ready, give her the privilege to suing him for a divorce, so lie can go and marry a rich young widow and kick the high spots with her." "You will, then, as I said before, force Mr. Dallas to bring stilt against you.” "I never deserted him." "No, your offense is graver "I never knew what rny offense was. I've been ransacking my brain for seven years to find some good rea son for Stephen's clearing out the way ho did." ‘Oh, come Mrs. Pallas," half laughed, half sneered Mr. Morley Smith. "What do you mean by that?" I “Don't try and pretend Innocence 'with me. I've handled too many cases of this mixture, dealt with too mJiny women placed In your unenviable po sition. It won't work." He looked straight Into Stella's eyes, as ho spoke, piercingly, drilling!)’. It was a, horrid look. It was a look not to Is; endured front a man who was your enemy. Stella could feel the blood throbbing up Into her throat. “Are you trying to be Insulting to me somehow?" Mr. Morley Smith's sneer deepened. “That's right. You're acting con sistently. It's unite the right track— surprise. Indignation, rage, tears, con fession finally. Mrs. Dallas, allow me to spare you further attempt at evasion. 1 have facts unalterable, uneacapubic facts. You were seen.” lie lowered bis voice. "You were seen at Belcher's Beach.” he brought out. "Well, what of that?" flashed Stella. "You were seen nt the hoarding house, with Munn," lie added, still keeping his sword pointed cy< •< upon Stella. Oh, »o that was It' That was why then; was no room for Batirel at Miss Kllllhrown'ul That was why the pro prietor at the King Arthur had rented her apartment. “Oh, what a rotten, rotten world' ' she exclaimed. Mr. Morley Smith shrugged and looked away. There was a silence. Then, "Well, you understand me, now, I think. You have your choice. Think it over. Either the generous escape Mr. Dallas offers, or the pub lic exposure of acts you have taken such pains heretofore to conceal and cover up." Stella stared at Mr. Morley Smith speechless, helpless for a moment. Every word he uttered, every glance of Ids eyes, every Pharisaical shrug of his shoulders shamed and de graded her. She would simply have to get out of his presence, or she would do something horribly common and crude to him. like slapping him in the face, or calling him something unladylike, like a cur or a skunk. She stood up. "I’m going," she said. lie stood up too. He smiled. "You will co-operate with us. then? You will accept our proposition?” "Co-operate? Accept your proposi tion? No, I won't. I ll fight 1 That's what I'll do. I ll prove to the world whether I'm guilty or not of the filthy things rotten-minded people have said about me. And I’m glad of the chance, too. I hope Stephen will sue me for a divorce. "I said I didn’t need a lawyer, when I firot came here, hut I need somebody to defend me against such a pack of nuu’krakers. Why, Mr, Smith, l have no more done the thine you come here and accuse me of doing than your own wife, or, if you're not married, your own mother, nr the woman von honor the most in this world, whoever It is, and 1 il get the best lawyer in this country to prove It.” Behind the belying paint and elab orate makeup the white Image of this woman's Innocence stood out be fore Marley Smith clear and defined, for an instant, like a white sailed ship, when the fog lifts a moment— a whltesailed ship In distress. He saw it. He recognized it. He turned away from it "You're going through the usual motions, Mrs. Dallas," he commented with another sneer. CHAPTER XIV. The same chaste charm that per vaded Helen Morrison's summer home was even more striking ;n her New York house. A feeling <*f spar e and fresh air is more of a triumph In the city than in tHe country. In both Helen Morrison's houses there was tie licious freedom from deleterious over crowding of possessions beneath a roof. She knew how to make walls backgrounds, instead of Iroundnries, as unconfining as the sky behind a mountain, or the sen behind a safl. Yet neither of her houses could be culled large. Much as nature con forms itself equally happily to decor ating a mountain-side, or a salt-water pool no larger than a baptismal font, so Helen conformed herself instinc lively to whatever proportions were offered her. Never for the sake of displaying some beautiful work of art would Helen disturb the nice equilib rium and tine composition of a room. j Never were the space and air neees sary for the spiritual well-being. us it ( were, of on* rare treasure of har mful y, too. i^he could no ir.ore have placed Tiffany glass beside old luster than have mixed people of discordant instincts at her dinner table. This discernment was not acquired. It was as effortless with her as breathing. Whe n she married Cornelius Morrison and came as a very young bride to the New York house, filled with its chaotic collection of treasures picked up from all over the globe, not only by her widely traveled husband, hut by his father before him, eho felt little of the delight which beautiful things had given her before. < >n the contrary, she was possessed of iin Incor.su fit desire to escape them, to get outdoors, and breath© deep, and mok upon liroad spaces. Finally she asked her husband if he would object if she cleared out just one of the rooms in the house of every single thing that was In it. lie told her she could clean out the whole house, for since Cornelius Morrison hud obtained’ her. Ids other treasures had sunk into trivial insignificance. . Therefore Helen Morrison had had the entire top floor of the house built 1 into a single room which she called j tiie museum, and into which she moved tie- wealth of two genet atjons of collectors. Helen spent limits browsing In the museum, assimilating it slowly, piece by piece. (iiadually vnihius tuns tires began appearing Iti the rooms below. When Helen discovered, or believed she had, an affinity between some empty niche downstairs and one of the objects of art It) the liltl- j scum, she united them with delight, j “Trial marriages," she calk'd them, humorously to hoi husband. Manv of them proved permanent, but there were certain corneis, tables, old chests, and secretaries, “that enjlyrd a constant state of polygamy," she laughed, “that adjusted themselves happily to various of the temper* mental objects of art In the Museum.” i You never could be stir© what would be the dondnant note In the long room with the old Ivorv tinted walls In the front of the house.
