This fact should make men look with favor upon the Semi-Annual Mark-Down Sale of Men's Clothing, now in progress here, in which our entire stock of Fancy Wool Suits are offered at these reduced prices: $21.50, $26.50, $31.50, $36.50. $41.50 and Only our Plain Blue and Black Suits and "Home Excluso" Suits are excepted from this twice-yearly Clearance movement.

The latter acreage would be per cent, increase over last yeur, and' would piovitle abundantly for the needs of the i lied nations. When luiiest time rolls around it will be known as the "Liberty wheat harvest," aceorduig to the plan of th department.

Officials aiso plan corresponding increases in the production of spring wheat and live itoek. The last crop report forecast a 1918 harvest of bushels of winter and spring wheat. If weather conditions next year are favorable, the m'J harvest of winter and spring wheat will be well over tha billion mark in buohels. From the 45.0OQ.OtW acreage, however, a total of bushels would bo raised, on the basis of an average yield ot 15.7 bushels per acre and an abandonment of ten per cent, of the area sown on account of winter kill. RESERVE SUPPLY EXHAUSTED Even with a normal good crop, sueh as is evident for this fall, the country's reserve supply, or "carry over," is practically exhausted, it is said, and at all events is the smallest on record.

It's up to the farmers this fall and next spring to build up a sufficient reserve. PLAN MADE TO TEACH SOLDIERS ON FIELD Australian Forces to Be Schooled Extensively in Several Lines. BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE. July 1. A concrete scheme of educational training, designed to cover all branches of the Australian forces in France, has been drawn up and is now awaiting ratification by the authorities.

It is expected that the plan, including a regularized system of classes and lectuies, will be put into effect behind the lines in a few weeks. Its full force, however, will only be feit after the war, during the period which must elapse before the men can be transported back to Australia. During that transition period, the Australian force abroad will for the time be practically transformed into me great university. Every soldier will receive instruction in certain subjt-cts. such as the history and geography of Australia, the oppor .1 of the great island continent, and eCo.

Williams, manager accident prevention division of the National Safety Council, Chicaoo, will be the speaker and will deliver an address oh Destruction of Old Buildings and Construction of New." I nusual interest is taken in the au-proaching meeting is view cf the rxtat moiintr xvhwh his subject applies to Pittsburgh district, which has been i undergoing a tremendous period of i building destruction and erection of new structures. Mr. Williams is a recent addition to the Na'onnl Safety Council, having taken up his duties July 1. Decision Is in Case of Wil-kinsburg Against Pittsburgh Railways Company. POWER OF LEGISLATURE HARRISBURG.

July 21. In the opin- ion handed down by the public service, commission in the case of the Borough of Wilkuiiburg against the Pittsburgh Hallways Company, the commission de- cides that it is its duty to inquire Into the of the rates of street railway companies and to raise or lowei them as the evidence justifies, notwithstanding the fact that a specific ratt was tixed by the municipal ordinance which authorized the company to construct its tracks in the streets. The opinion calls attention to the duty which has been placed upon the coin-mission in specific terms by the Legislature to inquire into and regulate tin i easunableness of street railway company rates, and holds that the constitutional provision, requiring the consent nf thi i i iir-t iv.a 1 1 1 Ihp i-nct Inn n'f a street railway, does not authorize lature. The decision recognizes that changes in conditions require changes in rates, and that the rate fixed by municipalities, many of which are perpetual, may at a later date be found to be highei than the public should be compelled to pav, FUNCTION OF LEGISLATURE. The ability of the company to make extensions and improvements is so dependent upon the return which it is entitled to rejeive that the regulation of each must be placed in one body and the Legislature has designated the public service commission as that body.

The power of the commission to regulate rates will also result in eliminating discriminations which are bound to exist where rates are fixed by a number of municipalities, all served by one street railway system. The street railway business has so developed that large numbers of municipalities are now served by one company and as each municipality has imposed fare condi tions, designed for its particular bene-, fit. inevitable discriminations have arisen between the various localities, and the only way to remove the same is to place the regulation of fares in the hands of the commission, which can see to it that justice is done to all. The opinion of the commission, which was written by the chairman, W. D- B.

Ainey, discusses the legal points involved and after reviewing the decisions concludes that the provision of the constitution does not authorize municipalities by contract with street railway companies to take from the people their riKht to regulate rates. It recognizes the validity of the conditions contained in municipal consents, but holds that these contracts were accepted subject to the continuing right of the people through the Legislature to exercise the notice nawer. even if such exercise re sults in the virtual wiping out of tha terms agreed uron. Sinn Fein Rivals Of Police in Raids DUBLIN, July 21. The unsettled state of the country districts in uy parts of Ireland is reflected in the minor news which reaches Dublin.

There are occasional rival raids arms by the police and the Sinn Fciners, frequent reports of illegal drilling, occasional stories of disturbances in which politics evidently plays a considerable part. In County Kerry, one of the hotbeds of the Sinn Fein, the chairman of the county council has been sentenced to a year's imprisonment for failing to report a raid for arms on his own piem-ises. and the county cauncil has now decided to ask the Mansion House Conference for "permissioi. to go on strike" as a protest. The prosecution of the entire 33 members of the board of guardians of County Lin.erick fir certain violent phrases used by them in on anti-conscription resolution, matks the first occasion even in Ireland, a country not lacking in strange precedents, when the members of a public body sitting at a duly convened meeting have been proceeded against for constituting an assembly.

The wording of their resolution appears to hav been particularly strong. The resolution has not been published, but there are seven clauses in the summons charging tho guardians w.th "assembling ta sow dissension among the subjects of the king, to cause disaffection and to impode the successful prosecution of the war." If any of your tasks are advertising tasks, these are solvable and at manageable expense. Use The Post. PUBLIC SERVICE BOARD TO SET FARES ON CARS SHIPBUILDERS HOLIDAYS TO BEATHUNS Men Make Sacrifices to Help Boys Who Are Facing Enemy Fire. 300,000 ARE EMPLOYED WASHINGTON.

July 2l.As the guns on the western front do not cease their work Saturday afternoons and holidays, neither do the hammers and saws in the shipyards on this side of the Atlantic. The men who are building the "bridge of, ships" know that every minute counts and have voluntarily renounced the hours formerly devoted to recrea- tion. The I writer who said that British liberties were bounded on one sde by Magna Charta and on the other by the week-end hight be paraphrased to read that the rights of American labor have been guarded fore and aft by tho union card and the Saturday half-holiday. The cessation of work at noon Saturday dilring the- hot months has long been a custom which nothing availed to change until the war united a heterogeneous nation into a compact fighting force. But union labor picnics will be few in number this summer for holidays, every time-honored legal holiday, such Las Memorial Day, have been sacrificed by the men to the greater need or speeding the building of ships.

Aggregate results of the added industry are astounding. With a total of men employed in shipyards, even one day's extra work is equivalent to the creation of hundreds of new tons of shipping WILSON LAUDS WORKERS. The spontaneous example of the metal workers and shipwrights on the Pacific coast where shipbuilding is at its swiftest pace in this country in voting to stay on the job Saturday afternoons during the summer, came to the attention of President Wilson, who telegraphed the following appreciation to the Portland Metal Trades Council: "May I not say I sincerely admire and applaud the patriotic action taken by the Metal Trad3 Council at Portland with regard to half holidays?" It sets up a high and admirable standard of patriotism." The employes of the Sun Shipbuilding Company at Chester, on May 30 contributed a full day's service without pay, assigning their wages to the Philadelphia war chest campaign. A similar service on that date was donated by 1,100 employes of the Sanderson Porter shipyards at Raymond. Wash.

Down at South Jacksonville. tho force of mechanics and laborers. 469 men, toiled from morning till night, one Saturday, without pay, because they wanted to do for their country iii wartime moie than their country was asking them to do. SPIRIT OF LOYALTY. This inspiring righting spirit among the shipyard workers has repeatedly drawn from the officials of the shipping board enthusiastic recognition and appreciation.

Chairman Hurley telegraphed the South Jacksonville work ers: "Such a spirit of loyalty and energy as you men displayed will hasten materially the building of ships, for which there is such vital need at this critical time." The gift of Memorial Day from the workers at the Sanderson Porter plant at Raymond, drew from Director General Schwab of the Emergency Fleet Corporation a telegram which said: "This Is a wonderful display of patriotism which should be an inspiration to all at this critical time when need for united action is so vital." Schwab and Party Complete Long Tour SEATTLE, July 21. Director General Charles M. Schwab of the Emergency-Fleet Corporation and Charles A. Pie. vice president, together with the entire shipping board party, departed for the East tonignu after completing a tour of Pacific coast shipyards.
