In connection with the report! from Chicago relative to the at-| tempts to return to handling the | wheat crop through the ex- changes with the elimination of grain control comes the story, oft repeated, that the acerage sown to grain this season is de- cidedly short. It is claimed that the farmers are fearful of the labor shortage this year and do not intend to put in seed that may cause them trouble when) So with the re- | harvest comes. moval of price control and limit- ed acerage the average layman wonders what prices are going to do. Just how much of an element} foreign governments will be in buying matter for speculation. Even the expert traders who says they fear such a pool, do not how extensively this feature| may enter into affairs. Their theory is that the foreigners w ill hammer down the price, corner | the market and then dictate the |terms the American public will pay. Not only will the grain crop) be short, according to all predic- | foodstuffs | are declared to run about the} tions, but all other same. The government has of- ficially announced that the truck | gardners have curtailed produc-| tion, they also fearing the high cost of labor. If all of these reports are any- where near correct then it looks as though the man who has a small plot of ground, a few fruit trees, a garden, a cow and some chickens would be about the most envied man in the world next winter. Perhaps out of it} all will come again the family} that is almost self sustaining, save for goods that. cannot be raised or manufactured, on a small plot of ground. Then, too, | may return the cellar in the city house; which will be used to store vegetables and fruit, as in| days of yore, instead of liquid re- freshments, as is so often the| case now. It sometimes appears as though the American would be | forced td return to a more simple | form of living in spite of himself | Perhaps the evening and. morn- ing hours will be spent in play- ing valet to the lowing kine.

And such a change might not be bad for the citizens of America, all things considered. ‘ VILLA RETIRES, Although considerable news is | Mexico | drifting through from and it seems that the revolution- ary forces are in control and have forced President Carranza :| out of power, one of the most in- teresting items is to the effect that Villa has retired. It is claim- ed he has turned over his bandit force and has concluded to go his | way in peace without getting either political or military hon- ors. Ur | port, fades out of the Mexican } picture. Villa has been a picturesque bandit of the cold-blooded type. He has been exploited until he has assumed somewhat heroic j| proportions, something he does not deserve in any sense of the word. He has been guilty of | paying the death penalty, let alone serving a prison term. But if the revolution has elim- | inated him as a factor in Mexi- can affairs it means a big step forward has been taken.
