Sonne Wheat Consolation,
(From N. Y. Sun.) ".Som^ confusion ha« b«en caused in tho popular mind by conflicting state¬ ment* concerning the availiable supply of wheat.
"The fact is that the supply of wheat is now so short that we must not only obey all the reffulations that have hitherto been enforced, but must also economize »till further in the use of the gruin.
The Food Adminis^tration appealed recently to every citizen of the United (States to go wheatless until the new crop is harvested and prepared for us. When it is available some modi¬ fication of the orders now effective may be poasible, but until that time certainly, and probat^Iy after it, the utmost care should be exercised to conserve for those who must have it the wheat that is on hand."
"The 1918 wheat harvest bejran (Saturday in Denton, Cooke and Wise counties, Texas. The sound of the reaper is as truly a sound of war as is the rattle of the machine gvtn. The Boche is being beaten in the great grain fields of America."
There is consolation in ths last paragraph as to wheat if not in the ifirst. Wheat, from reports by many householders is an article of food <iifficult to obtain at p/esent. May the new crop reach the markets with¬ out delay.

SMITHVILLE SOUTH
POLITICAL AND PERSONAL
The Proposed Tax Measare.
The Ne\\t York World, which is rec¬ ognized as the federal administration organ in New York State to the ex¬ tent of being on the "inside'" informar tion, on Sunday last, contained some good lojric in an editorial on the at¬ tempted move by the administration to raise SH,000,000.0OO in ta.xes for the war. The editorial, which The Nassau Post considers worthy of re¬ production, was as follows:
The highest estimate ever made of the cost of the Civil War is $8,000,- 000,0(10—$."i,0()(),000,0()O to the .North and ,'f:i,00O,OO(),000 to the South. The most frt'ierally acceptjjd estimates fix the total at $4,2.50,0OO.0(H). Yet .Mr. Kitcheji, Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, speaks almost casually of raising- $8,- O(i0,000,(H!O in tBxes alone in the new Revenue Bill for ne.xt year. This would mean that in one year the American people are to pay in taxes almost twice the total cost of the Civil War and much more than twice the total cost of that conflict to the North.
It can be done if it need be done. If a revenue act of that scope and magnitude is essential to the winning of the war, the .American people will find the money and pay it into the Treasury. That goes without saying- But in framing such legislation, the vv'spoiisijility of Conprress cannot be too greatly eiiipliasized.
.Mr. Kitchen says "the bill will U^ if wise, »just and ri^-hteuus revenue
"There is a strong agitation on the south side," says the Brooklyn Eagle, "for the converting of Seaman ave¬ nue into a county road. The State Engineer would like Seaman avenue as a state road, but Assem-blyman McWhinney, in a recent tour of the road with the officials of the State, proved why it would be better as a county ro.id."
'Some years ago, when the State ta.\payars appropriated the big fund of many millions for state roads. Sea¬ man avenue was prominently mention¬ ed for improvement from the county line at Massape(]ua to the city line at Valley Stream. There was much talk about making it the southerly course for the State automobile highway which was to run through the island. It still is the same old Seaman ave¬ nue.

Former Senator William H. Rey¬ nolds, developer of Long Reach, so the Brooklyn Eagle states, has announced that he will be a candidate for the presidency of the resort village.
Since the resignation of President John Gerhard last December, affairs of the village have been directed by the remaining members of the village board.

The only Democrat, according to the exchange, who came forth to make rel women seeking light on the politi¬ cal situation—trying to find a level a plea for Democracy was Bertram Gartlner who is ready to retire as State Committeeman.
The political writer of the certain exchange should change his "dope" sheet. The Democrats have lost no opportunity to bJ.ister up their ma¬ chine. There is actually no Democrat-

Huckleberry bushes and blackberry ^vines were heavily laden- ed with buds and blossoms, indicating' a heavy crop this season unless a long, dry sp>€lii should prevail. Birds sang everywhere in -tuneful lyrics, adding to the charms of nature in a way which gjnddened the heart, rest¬ ed the mind and with the exercise and pure, freah air coming in from the ocean, the saunter was a rare treat. If more people would get next to an oc¬ casional jaunt such as this there would be leas nervousness and other forms of sickness due to the swift pace of modem living.
Referring to graduation day, "Nosey Jim," in The County News, published at Riverhead, prints a num¬ ber of aentiments in which The Traveler heartily concurs. This is what he says:

WHO AM I?
I am more powerful than the combined armies of the world.
I have destroyed more men than all the wars of the nations.
I am more deadly than bullets, and I have wrecked more homes than the mightiest of siege guns.
I steal in the United States alone, over $300,000,000 each year.
I spare no one, and I find my victims among the rich and poor alike, the young and old, the strong and weak. Widows and orphans know me.
I loom up to such proportions that I cast my shadow over every field of labor, from the turning of the grindstone to the moving of every railroad train.
I massacre thousands upon thousands of wage earners in a year.
I lurk in unseen places, and do most of my work silently. You are warned against me— but you heed not.
I am relentless—I am everywhere—in the house, on the streets, in the factory^^ rail¬ road crossings and on the sea.
I bring sickness, degradation and death, and yet few seek to avoid me. •
I destroy, crush or maim; I give nothing—but take all.
I am your worst enemy. ,
