Farmers Gain MlIi,oos as Result O,
War

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Earmers oil the
United States will receive moro money
for their crops this year than ever before
in the history of the country. Not only
is the wheat crop by far the largest ever
raised, but the returns that can be count.
cd on safely for this crop will exceed the
greatest expectations OF few weeks ago.
In virtually every important wheat
raising section of the country the pro.
Queer can now obtain 81 bushcl for his
wheat. Two months ago wheat prices
were about 40 cents lower than at present.
aud in many sections farmers were not
getting more than 30 cents bushel for
their wheat.
Considerable wheat was sold at low
prices, but OF the 900, OOO. 900 bushels
that will be- raised this year IL isnot likely
moro than 200. 900, 900 bushels has been
sold at this time from the farms.
\ iorty.ccnt advance in the pric, o(
wheat means ON zoo, 900 900 bushels
$3.50, 600 600, and from present mdica-
tions in regard To the export demand A
reduction of farm prices for wheat below
the dollar level doea not appear reason
able. In fact, judging from the way
Europe is buying both wheat and -four,
farmers may not Toe willing TO sell freely
at 81.
Oats prices have been enhanced about
80 per cent in the heaviest part of the
crop movement. On the basis of present
values for oats compared To what they
were at the beginning of harvest there
has been an increase in the value OF the
crop of about $l75, 900, 900. Corn prices
were high at the beginning of the war,
and while there has been no export de.
mand rs in wheat and oats 10 stimulate
speculative activity, prices are now the
highest in years.
Washington, ID. c., Sept. 26.-Aver-
age prices of practically all important
agricultural products on September /
showed increases over quotations OF one
year ago, the Department OF Agriculturc's
general review indicated Yesterday. Cot.
ten was the marked exception in price,
dropping nearly > cents IA pound.
Nearly all the grains showed big i'm
creascs.
While II was recognized that the Eu-
ropcan war had influenced grain prices.
some bureau officials believed they would
maintain the higher level and that a
shortage of animals would give meats
rising tendency.

We Have a President

We like 10 feel that Woodrow Wilson
expresses in his own personality the good
genius Of this country.
The Presidents service 20 the nation
within the past few months has been
sufficient TO make an entire four.year
term notable.
War with Mexico has been averted
through patient statecraft that persisted
despite criticism, abuse and lack Of faith.
A strike Of trainmen on ninety-eight
Western railroads has been prevented by
the agreement Of the contending parties
10 arbitrate. This strike would have
been a catastrophe at any time; in view
OF other complications, it would have
been immeasurably worse at this time.
Credit must be given 20 the men and the
managers for agreeing TO get together,
but this was not brought about until the
President bad entered the negotiations.
The placing Of American business con-
ditions upon a basis where the European
disorders can affect them little II at all
was at the instance Of and with the CO.
operation OF the administration, which
IL also to be credited with iathernig a
currency law that will prove most Efficient
ia the present situation.
IL the last three or four months it
would have been distressinely easy for a
Presidential blunderer 70 embroi or
embsuass the United States. We have
come through with credit and clean o,
unworthy compromises or entangling al
liances.
Thank God we have President

a Woman'e Wav-

An extremely pretty girl stood In
the middle of Lovers lane. At either
end OF this celebrated thoroughfare
was n lover. Each had his back turned.
but from where she stood each looked
equally handsome. II she had been a
man she would have tossed up a coin
to sec which lover she should call. But
women are not by nature gamblers.
They are generally too sure OF them
selves. Then she did the perfectly
natural thing-what any woman would
DO. She called TO one lover, knowing
the other would hear her. And the
one she didn't call was the one she
wanted.-Life.
