WHEAT CONSUMPTION AND,PRIcE


The argument has been advanced
that the wheat market commentators
who follow the price-making influences
from day to day, have ignored an inn
portant factor working for decline in
price later on-the lessened consump-
ton due to higher prices
1t is fact that bread prices have
been advanced somewhat, in line with
higher flour. Assuming that we have
no surplus for export from our last
wheat crop-a proposition that all sta
tisticians do not agree upon-it is prob
able, according to this reasoning, that
between now and the time of next har-
vest it will be found that consump-
ton has decreased sufficiently to per-
NIT of the accumulation of larger
stocks than calculated upon The. peo-
pie will have eaten less and we will
find that we have overestimated home
requirements, and have something left
for export after all.
There is no way in which a conten-
ton of this kind can be proved or dis
proved in advance. The government in
the June 80 report said that Ameri-
can consumption for the year previous
was about five hundred and seventeen
million bushels. A year hence we shall
know whether we consumed more or
less than this. Meanwhile. all argu-
ment for lessened consumption must
be based upon the not unreasonable
yet by no means conclusive assump-
ton that higher prices would natural
ly induce people to turn to substitutes.
A great many things must be taken
into account in considering this ques-
ton. There are not SO many substitutes
that can be used, that, food value and
other qualities considered, are cheaper
than wheat. Again, il there is any
curtailment of consumption, we must
of course look first for it among the
POOicT CIdSSSS, anu we tNlIlk prices are
not yet so high that this will figure
in an important way, for labor is gen.
orally well employed and no occasion
exists for the pinching economy of
hard times. A Scent loaf will prob
ably not prevent any large number of
people from eating bread and, as a
correspondent states, difference of /
cent a loaf means about fifty cents a
bushel in wheat.
Another thing to remember in this
connection is that it will not always do
to take a table compiled from ex-
perience abroad and apply it to Ameri-
ca. From the fact that a cent a loaf,ad-
vance might mean great hardship in
European countries, leading to less
ened consumption, it does not follow
that the same effect would be noted
here. where the people are more pros
porous.
We do not think wheat has yet
reached price where reduced domes-
tic consumption is likely to become
important enough to figure as a factor
in the situation.

In the introduction of new goods to
the public there is nothing that will
take the place of advertising. Why?
Because the right kind of business
publicity is always informative.

uea1n. W mar we nepu more ana more
in the beginning of this twentieth cen
fury is not a better educated ministry
but one which win start forth a speak
ing and a testifying pew The simple
fact IS some Of our churches are being
preached to death. We need not more
classical sermons, but more and more
the good old fashioned testimony meet
ings of the Methodist church. We
need men and women who in the sim
pie. homely language of the street can
tell what God has done for their souls
We need our prayer meetings to be
truly peoples meetings in which
all take part, place where the old
folks will testify, and the middle aged
people will testify, and where the
young people will testify.
Another Great cause for the multiply
inc power Of Methodism is the class
system" This class system, SO called,
dates its historic birth to the 10Th day
of February, 1912 Like the life of
the Wandering jew, may it never
have death. May this system live on
and on until ut last earthly time shall
cease and the struggles against sin
shall be swallowed up in the eternal
conqucsts Of heaven.
This was how the famous class sys-
tom" Of Methodism was born: John
Wesley and bis brother Charles were
visiting their society in the city Of
Bristol. A large financial Indebtedness
hung as an incubus over that society's
place Of worship. While the members
of that society were discussing with
the leaders how they should lift the
debt Il Captain Foy arose and pro
posed that each member should be
taxed one penny 4 week until the debt
was paid. but that is not fair" some
one protcStingly said. Here are some
people who are 50 poor they cannot 0t-
ford to give even penny" Then"
said Captain Foy, put eleven of the
poorest with me. ana If they can give
anything | will call upon them weekly
and collect the same, and if they give
nothing | will give for them as we'll as
for myself, and each Of you can call
on eleven of your neighbors weekly,
receive what they give and make up
what is wanting" No sooner had Cap
tain Foy spoken than in flash a di-
vine inspiration came TO John Wesley
yes, yes said the great leader TO
himself; that is just what MethodiSm
needs n system of caring for its own,
q system by which its members shall
not behcrded together as wild animals
are herdcd together, but a system
which will single men out ana place
them in circles of tens, and over these
circles shall be placed a separate lepd
err who will have charge of each class.
These leaders in turn were to meet and
report to their pastors. Their pastors
in turn today meet and report to their
presiding elders. Each man by the
"clnss system of MethodiSm is re-
Sponsible to some individual person Of
the church.
