The United States has ok 8 per cent. of the world’s population, but ‘we consume 'l5 per cent. of the world’s wheat crop. That means that, if we do, the wheat crop would have to be two-and-one-half as large as it is. We. consume nearly a quarter of all the world’s sugar, more than half of the world’s coffee, moré than a quar- ter of the world’s cotton, one-sixth of all the wool, three-quarters, nearly, of all the silk, two-thirds of all the rub- ber, about two-fifths of the iron and copper, lead, zinc and coal. We use three-fifths of the world’s petroleum, two-fifths of all electrical power, more Files and three-fifths of all telephones. And we number less than one-six- teenth of the world’s population! If the rest of the world was as well off as we are how prosperous we and ‘all the rest would be. Our average family income is $3,000 a year. The. British income is two-thirds of that, Canada’s less than half, Sweden's sll lower, Germany’s only a little over one-third as large and France’s about the . same—personal income of the average man, that is. That's we can, and do, consume more of the world’s raw materials than any other nation. We have set an example to the rest of the world, which it is slowly begin- ning to follow, in spots. The farther and more rapidly it extends, the soner pnd more surely will we reach the stage of human development in which people will no longer die of starvation, in which every human being will have his happiness in his own hands. There are those who say that in rrival of hot weather, everyone is thinking about vacation. The time of! xodus to summer resorts, grandma’s d' the farm is here. .

It was a wise man who said that it was useless to preach idealism to a man who didn’t know where his next day's s dinner was coming from. And that is the condition of more than half of the people of the world today, while a stili larger proportion live under conditions which make more than a bare living possible. This is a, great country. “KNOCKING” THE GOVERNMENT The world is full of people who try to blame their own success, unhappi- ness or incompetence upon somebody else. Evtrybody knows "somebody like that. They are the same sort of people who are always “agin the Gov- ernment.” The market for crops is 200d or bad because the Government at Washington is Republican or Demo- cratic. - Business is slow because -the Let a few bans fail and’ ‘immediately some--of the ¢hronic kickers. rush to the-front with the ‘explans tion_that the Federal Reserve System ig a‘ Fair criticism of the Goy entirely proper. and within the rights the Government responsible: for every- thing unpleasant without eves giving tation of the: childish impulse: to shift ‘that of somebody" else: .

Grover Alexander, famous pase pitcher, is “unconditionally released” by the Philadelphia National League Club. It means that his day is done.

Napoleon said his government could not last if he allowed liberty of the press. ; 2 _. Chicago gangsters seem to have heard about that.

Perhaps he will find a way to discourage shooting his reporters. Fables come true. The frogs, like the Rumanians, thought they needed a king. Kind Jupiter sent a heavy log to rule them.
