Touching on the need of Ameri. can consumers, Barnes estimated the country’s consumption of wheat next year would aggregate 570,000 000 bushels, leaving approximatety 200,000,000 for export if the embargo is removed. To date 80,000,000 bushels have been exported by the grain corporation, their figures show. * Says Kn 1 Did you ever realize that it {* possible to have asparagus practi cally all the year round?

It was written by one Thomas Babington Macaulay, in August, 1825. ° | It might well and aptly have been written in August, 1919, It applied to conditions in his time, and applies quite as well to conditions in our time. For instance, it might well be a section of an article on the Russian Revolution. It is a slice of eternal truth. Macaulay was a Master, and the Masters never grow old. They are the true im- mortals.
