one-third of the wheat crop today is

Nebraska, according 10 information

of this will be held by them for ex-

half of the present crop Of wheat was
sold in July for 65 and 20 cents a
bushel. Then. when the war broke
cut the price went up so fast and

WORK or THE WIRELESS.
From the Cincinnati, Eno,,,r,

FROM the CINCINNATI Enquirer,
The international conference for
safety Of life at sea has recently agreed
to the enforcement of the equipment
with wireless of all vessels carrying SO
or more persons, and while this is a
long step in the right direction it does
not so far enough.
a cablegram from London states
that all vessels plying within 1000
miles OF land are permitted exemption
from equipment with wireless, but it
scarcely seems possible that this in
formation is correct, as such exemp-
world over, and in great measures de-
tract from the safety Of vessels beyond
that limit.
The wireless has proved its saving
power in a number of instances along
our coasts, notably in the case of the
W4rd Lin steamship Merida, which
sunk in collision less than 200 miles off
the Virginia capes in 1911, and in its
distress the working of the wireless
brought a number of vessels so equip
ped t. Its immediate assistance.
The cablegram which records such
exemption certainly must be an err
ror, as the safety of the passengers
and crews upon coastwfse vessels is
potently guarded now by the many
vessels in such trade that are already
equipped, and the international con-
ference is too well informed as to the
usefulness of this equipment to sane
ton the exception reported
1t is estimated that the wireless calls
for assistance to vessels have resulted
in the saving of the lives Of more than
5000 persons since the system was put
into practical work, and yet William
Marconi, in a recent interview, esti-
mated that of the 10, 900 British vessels
of more than 100 tons fewer than 700
of them had wireless equipment. OF
Germany's vessels about IL per cent
have the wireless and Of fhnSa f1f
france about s per cent are so equipped.
1t can thus be seen that IL ali yes-
sells of more h a 100 tons were re-
CURED to be equipped with wireless
a most efficient watch and ward of the
oceans could be maintained by the
nations and disasters upon the lakes,
seas and oceans could be reduced to q
minimum.
Arrangements nave recently been
made between the Marconi company OF
Great Britain and the owners OF the
fishing fleet at Lowestoft. England, by
which one or more vessels of the fleet
shall be equipped with wireless, and

the fleet can be advised as to the ports
