It might not be such a bad idea, like taking the barnacles off a ship. But owners of mortgages would not like it. ji iiwt Boys of Fanwood, New Jersey, used to believe that the head of a snapping turtle cut off, did not die until sundown. Superstition never dies, no mat-te- r how often you cut off its head. Port of Spain, Trinidad, tells of "a fraili bearded Spanish mystic," suddenly coming from the mountains to tl?e village of St. Helena to announce that within six months the world will be burned up. Chicago would say, coldly, "Go back to the mountains and get more details." The credulous villagers have given up work to devote all their time to meditation and prayer. The prophet has gone back to the mountains. He will be annoyed six months hence, but have a good excuse. Through four gates, as Bunyan would say, you find easy access to the human mind, the gates of superstition, greed, race hatred, religious hatred.

Our problem is not lack cf leadership, it is that our leaders cannot be made to understand. But to understand sorrow, one must be a sorrowing man. You speak of the situation as serious. It is appalling.- - It is a crisis! It is not a question of food for next winter; is is a question of food today, tomorrow, neyt week. How to keep body and soul together now, this summer, surrounded by all the bounties of nature; mortgaged it is true, but nature's bounties nevertheless. Gambled Stewardship. We believe in America. We believe in Americans. Americans believe in themselves and have faith in one another. As part of this fundamental faith they have trusted their leaders. The great financial leaders of the country have enjoyed unbounded trust and confidence. Each little bit of financial strength throughout the country has been gathered together into a great reservoir of financial power, our modern financial machine, and placed under the stewardship of these great leaders. Out of the whirlwind of this financial chaos comes the realization, stunning at first, unbelievable, but true. "These men have gambled with d of this stewardship, the An and lost!" America, gambled amount equal to of the intrinsic value of our national wealth loaned to foreign countries and lost. Gone out of the reach of the people for ever. For what? Commissions; interest; fees; the personal profits of these stewards. Do we wonder that half the nation is in distress. Our great utilities and financial giants have bled the people of their life blood. It is now a question of food, bare sustenance for the lives of our life-bloo- one-ha- lf people. Give us food, not words. Give us an assurance of food for next week. All that there has ever been is available iti exchange for this security. I do not believe that the world owes any of us a living. Society does owe us an opportunity according to our ability and worthiness. Why should men feel depressed because of loss of wealth, we will feel like kings if we can have an assurance of food. Meet Crisis Intelligently The enemy at the threshold of the American home today is more dreadful than was the nation imposing "Taxation without Representation," more destructive than "Secession from the come in 100 million years. The late Andrew D. White, president of Cornell University, tells of a Jewish prophet who long after Christ, announced himself as "the Messiah," gathered a great following, and announced that he could walk upon the water and those that believed in him could do the same. He walked down a steep bank into deep water, followed by a big crowd. All were drowned. Union," and more direful in its effects Leaders in superstition often believe than a nation's unrighteous ambition what they say. That makes them for a "Place in the Sun." God grant dangerous. that the crisis may be met with While our Government talks sweet nothings about disarmament, the Brit, ish listen, murmuring "by all means," but they continue building bigger and better airplane bombers, while we suggest that such wicked machines be abolished. Recently the British air minister showed at Hendon a new gigantic bomber, secretly built, capable of doing 200 miles an hour, four miles above the earth. Two hundred and fifty thousand paid admissions, a ,5Hrter of a' million more gathered Swftide the airdrome. A night bomber was also displayed, scores of pursuit; planes were sent up in mimic warfare to attack the bombing machines. Pilots in theairplane squads participating included scores of bank clerks and other civilians, almost as skilful as Britain's Army and Navy flyers. Britain talks disarmament as sweetly as anybody, but goes ahead with plans to rule the ocean of air as she has so long ruled the water ocean. The old gold prospector, with his slow donkey, cautiously tapping rocks on the lookout for Indians, would wonder at modern prospecting by air- Do you recall the lessons of the world war as pertaining to certain conditions among the American soldiers? The physical unfitness of our boys, American boys boasting of physical strength; the amazing illiteracy of the flower 6f American youth, in a land proud of its educational standards? Do you not think, if the full facts were known, that there would come to light an appaling number of people destitute now, this summer, in a land renowned for her wealth? Come out of your bulwark of security, Dr. Bennion. Mingle with the oppressed. Learn the language of the poor, help to champion a cause for the right to live. The cry of the day is for clear thinkers, gifted leaders. Why have we trained them if they fail us now? People ask what can be done. Listen to the hungry man. Don't think that he does not have clear cut ideas of what must be done. It took years to work up to the "Boston Tea Party," the rumblings of Fort Sumter was heard for half a generation but when the issue is food, the crisis has arrived. The writer has in the past few months had the opportunity of making observations of this condition in many plane. cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Leadership, action, out claims in six hours that the old prospector could not reach in two Dull Demand; Feed Grain Irregularly Lower With Favorable Prospects Offsetting Light Receipts Domestic markets ruled generally steady during the week ending July 1, with favorable prospects lor the new spring wheat crops in both United States and Canada and continued dull export inquiry for North American grain, largely offsetting the low threshing returns and small marketings of the new winter wheat in Southwestern areas, according to the Weekly Grain Market Keview of the United States Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Foreign markets continued quiet with prices registering moderate declines, under the influence of dull inquiry for foreign wheat and the generally favorable prospects in important producing areas of Europe and also to some extent by the weak ness in Winnipeg following the unu suaily heavy country marketings. Feed grains were weak with prices tending downward despite the light offerings. Generally favorable prospects for new feed grain crops continued to be an important weakening factor. Rye markets were dull with wheat and continued lack of export inquiry. Corn markets were largely dominated by a slow shipping demand and lack of inquiry from feeder and industries although offerings in slow request. WHEAT: The domestic wheat situation at the beginning of the new crop year differs materially from that of a year ago. Stocks of old crop grain are still large but commercial stocks on June 25, were around 35,000,000 bushels under those of a year ago. The winter wheat crop is the smallest since 1925 with private trade estimates as of July 1, averaging 428,000,000 bushels or around 359,500,000 bushels under the official estimate of last years crop. Private forecasts of the spring wheat outturn average bushels, which suggest a total domestic wheat crop of 702,000,000 bushels, around 190,000,000 bushels under that of a year ago. Harvesting of the new winter wheat crop has advanced to North Central Illinois with threshing in progress in Southern sections. From around one half to three fourths of the crop has been harvested in Kansas but harvesting is not yet general in the Northern part of the state. Yields are generally light and indications are that some thin fills will not be cut because of prevailing low prices. Harvesting has been practically completed in Southern Oklahoma and is well advanced in Northern countries. Rain during the week interrupted harvesting operations and lowered the quality of the crop with receipts at terminals grading lower as result of high moisture. Weather conditions have favored harvesting in soft winter wheat areas and threshing has advanced into the South em sections of Ohio and Illinois. Foreign wheat markets were quiet with demand only moderately active, and prices fluctuating within a narrow range. The more favorable crop outlook in important producing areas of Europe was a weakening market factor although some local storage storm damage occured in parts of Italy and France. In Northwestern Europe conditions are generally quite favorable although crops are still somewhat late. Prospects in the countries of the lower Danube are below those of a year ago, and preliminary acreage estimates also showed a marked reduction. Recent hot, dry weather is hastening maturity in the lower Danube Basin which may result in considerable light weight grain. Payments of export and other forms of Governmental marketing aids in this area have been abolished or have become largely ineffective and these factors, together with prospective smaller outlets, suggest less competition from Danubian wheat, in world markets during the coming year. The Hungar-ia- h crop is now estimated at 66,505,-00- 0 bushels as against 67,057,000 bushels produced last year. 274,-000,0- HONEYVILLE -- h tion, must come if we are to save ourselves.
