quite contrary to its wont. The Times,
a sturdy champion of the president,

adaptable to an administration in the
Interest of "the interests," rolled out
a handsomely turned analysis of "The
Republican Triumph." The World,
consistently and powerfully a support?

perhaps, the leading Democratic news?

moving terms "A Leap in the Dark,"
declaring that "Germany divides with

was done, Wilson was < 'it and over,

Boys' Wheat Club.
Because flour is now very high and
the prospects for $12 and $15 a barrel
for Hour are in sight something must
be done to induce people tO plant
more wheat. To meet this condition
in a way, Farm Demonstration Agent
Ea S. Wolfe announced late yesterday
afternoon that he intends to form a
boy's wheat club in this county.
Avers and Williams, a seed and
greln concern Which operates a roller
mill at Oranseburg, have premleed to
give the prizes to the boys. Fifty dol?
lars will be awarded in al . Th<? prob
ablities are that first prize will be $35
and second prize will be $15.
Boys who are interested in this con?
test should see Demonstration Agent
Wolfe at once and enroll n thai club.
One acre of wheat has to be planted
and the boy who makes the greatest
yield at the lowest cost will get the
first prise and the second ^>est will, of
course, take second money.
The acre planted by the boy must,
however, be additional to the tegular
wheat crop to be planted by his fath?
er, as It would not be fair to enter
one's father's crop in the boys' con?
test. Rules are being formulated now
and any one Wishing further intorma
tlon will do well to see the denion
