"Randamanthe" is the name of the new poetry club organized by the students of the University. Club members refuse to reveal the meaning of this unusual name, though there is a rumor current that a person named Randamanthe is a judge or critic or something of the underworld.

Prof. E. M. Hopkins, the faculty sponsor, will act in that capacity; the next meeting, it will be held Wednesday, February 22, in Fraser Hall, at 3:30 o'clock.

WHEAT CROP WILL BE POOR EXPERT STATES
Large Export and Unfavorable Conditions Cause Predicted Shortage
Shortage
Chicago, Feb. 10—Proposals for the wheat crop are the poorest in history,
E. W Snow, Chicago expert said today.
"The world will feel a severe pinch for wheat before the 1922 crop comes in." Snow told the United Press in an interview today. This is due to the fact that last year's production of wheat in the United States was relatively small. Also more seed wheat was exported to Europe than any time in history.
"The wheat crop of the southwest is in a critical condition." Lots of snow together with wind, sand and arora leads to the belief that the crop will
The upward trend of May and July wheat on the market started about two weeks ago upon receiving news from the Southwest that crop conditions were decidedly unfavorable. With no improvement in slight, quarterly growth, the crop is seriously higher since then. The prospect of high prices for the new crop will spell prosperity for many farmers. The advances in the prices of wheat is also expected to increase the average of spring wheat which is 15-20 percent.
