When a man has but $100 in bank and issues three 90-day notes for $100 each, based on the bank deposit as se curity, the value of those notes soon falls very decidedly. In other words, the average creditor would feel that he ought to have two or even three such notes before he had paper suffi cient to equal the value of that $100 in gold that lies in the bank.

This Is approximately what has hap pened with the world's currency. So much paper has been issued in thei form of notes, credits, bonds and simi lar "promises to that its value when compared with actuaTTodd and clothing and other necessities has fallen tremendously. We express this same Idea the other way around xby saying "prices have gone There is no reason to expect rapid retirement of paper promises war bonds the world over must run for some years yet to come, and private credits cannot be withdrawn soon. Therefore this cause of high prices I wil1 probably be with us for some time jret severm years, in iacu In the case of farm crops, at least, there is another veryjgyod reason why prices are high. Many more mouths are to be fed than formerly and this condition also is likely to persist.

Clark, county agricultural agent of Marshall county, Indiana, has made some extended demonstrations on the use of commercial fertilizer combined with a good seedbed for wheat as a preventative measure against the attack Hessian fly and joint worm. He considers the use of proper tillage and proper fertilizers the best method available for counter acting the attack of these wheat pests. Mr. Clark says that his observation Is that the well-fed plant is more resist ant to attacks by both insects and dis eases. Mr.

Clark recomends ammoni- ated fertilizers for use on wheat be cause it is desirable to have ammonia to force the growth of wheat so that it will be better able to withstand win ter conditions. WORLD RECORDS IN W.HEAT GROWING. The largest yield of wheat ever recorded was 117.2 bushels per acre. It was produced in 1895 In Island county, on an 18-acre field. The largest yield of wheat over a period of years of which the wjprld has any record is fhat of 36 bushels per acre at the Rothaisted experiment station In England.

This yield -Is the average for a period of 60 years. Ordinary unfertilized land in England does not do that well. In fact, the average yield of unfertilized land for the same period of years was' only $L2 bushels. The extra 24 "bushels was the result of an annual application of fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphoric add and Writer' Interesting Description of So cial Strata Fetlchltm and Voo-dooism by No Mains Uncommon. That little Haiti has.

its various layers of social strata, as well as any other nation is strongly, emphaszed in an article by William Almon Wolff in Collier's Weekly. 'There is a smart element of highly culti vated, extremely well-educated, pros perous people in Haiti," writes Mr. Wolff. 'They speak beautiful French; they have had their schooling, as a rule, in Paris. They live well; they entertain lavishly." Then there is the middle class, which he describes as being able tc read and' write, as a rule, but whose education stops at that point.

Their occupations are principally those of traders, shopkeepers and minor gov ernment officials. For the lower class, which coraprisesjthe great mass of the 2,000,000 inhabitants of Haiti, Mr. Wolff Has little sympa thy. "The men are lazy and shift less," he writes, "and the women do practically all the work. But they are amiable folk, courteous, friendly and engaging in their manners.

Education, however, is unknown among them. "Fetichism and voodooism survive in Haiti also indeed there are many other survivals of old pagan times and rites.

One Philadelphia doughboy is of the opinon that fate has served him rather a scurvy trick while he still wore the khaki. James Brown of Eleventh street near Cambria is one of thirteen chil dren, all of whom have been a credit to their parents and their country.

He went all through the fighting over yonder" in various memorable and vivid encounters, and only then, after the armistice, did a government mule with a vile temper see fit to bestow on him a kick that dislo-cated his shoulder and landed him in the hospital. Brown was one of the youngest of the A. E. P. He enlisted in May, 1917, and went over on the Han cock.

He did not observe his seven- teenth birthday until the following October. He believes that if a few battal ions oi mules like the one that kicked him had been turned loose in the German army the war would have ended sooner. EASY TO STOP. As one of those stationed at the recruiting office, I had occasion to notice a little old lady looking at a poster, picturing a man' o'warsman riding a torpedo through the water. She looked at the picture and then turned, to me, saying: "My boy is in the navy and I'm rather worried about him.

Do they really ride those things'?" Thinking to have a little un, replied: "Oh, yes." She looked rather frightenedfor a minute and asked ''But how do they stop them?" Seeing that I had made a mistake, I tried to quiet her fears. "Oh, madam, you see, it's easy They just say: She went away satisfied. Chicago Tribune. SETTING HIM RIGHT.
