LOST MONEY ON WHEAT

Joseph Letter, noted wheat oper-
ator of fifteen years ago, testified to-
day at the state inquiry into the in
creased cost of bread that American
farmers had long been selling wheat
for less than it cost. The Liverpool
exchange usually fixes the prices, he
said
Mr.. Letter said that altho he had
been heavy Spectator in wheat in
1878, he had not speculated in
grain since then, at which time he
had lost money. The farmer today
cannot obtain the proper return on
his work, Mr.. Letter said, on the old
basis of wheat prices, because farm
labor has increased in price and the
laborer's hours have been shortened.
Mr.. Letter said rs per cent of the
elevators were owned either by big
wheat operators or railroads, while
rs per cent were owned by independ-
ent or small operators and farmers
societies. The United States has
controlled the wheat prices of the
world since Sept. 1 1914 and will
continue to do so until another crop
is raised, he asserted.
1.-THE farmers have become the
largest spectators in the country;
they will hold crop after crop, some
times as long as four years." he said.

FEBRUARY A BAD MONTH

With considerably more than
three times the normal precipitation
during the month just passed, there
was more snowfall and rain during
February of this year than any Feb
ruary during the forty-five years the
weather bureau has been keeping
records, with the single exception of
February 1881. That year there was
a precipitation of 500 inches, while
this year it was 2.62 inches,
Eleven and a half inches of snow
fell during the month, and there was
measurable precipitation upon four
teen of the twenty-eight days. with a
trace OF precipitation on two other
days. There were only fie clear days
during February, seven that were
partly cloudy, and sixteen that were
classed as cloudy
The month was opened with near
ly nine inches of snow on the ground,
and this, with the added amount that
fell. did not entirely disappear until
the 10th, after which for four days
there was no snow. The month end
ed with three and half inches of
snow still on the ground. on the
level
In addition to being the snowiest
February since. 1881. the month was
the warmest for many years. Not
since February, 1896, has there been
month that was warmer, day in
and day out, than the month Just
past. The average mean tempera-
ture for February for forty-odd yrs.
is 23.7 degrees, while in the past
month the corresponding figure was
81 degrees.

WHAT RAILROAD MEN SAY

The country is in the midst of a
period of unemployment and distress,
1.-The like of which the nation never
saw before" William Stroule, presi-
dent of the Pacific system of the
Southern Pacific company, declared
in Chicago Monday night in an ad-
dress at the annual dinner of the Ira
ffic club He attributed this condi-
ton to what he said was a long con-
tinued clamor against all sorts of
public businesses and predicted its
end only when returning prosperity
for employers should spell prosperity
for the unemployed. Beginning by
outlining difficulties faced by the
transportation business, which he
said had lost it's momentum he
broadened to the state of business
generally aud took vigorous excep-
lions to any suggestions that bust
ness would be better if business men
believed they would be better.
"The booster lifts nothing higher
than the level of its teeth" declared
the railway executive. 1.-THE trum-
peter of prosperity reachers its own
ears. Prosperity is real or it does
not exist. We do not have to look
for it; II comes to us. 1t grows with
in our sight like plant coming in
to flower 1t comes to us when the
employer resumes employment and
it will not come to us until the people
generally, whether their capacity be
large or small, whether they work
with their muscles or their mind
(and all work requires mind), dis
cover that their condition improves
only when their employer is prosper

Mrs F. H. Townsend of Atlantic
arrived in the city last night for a
visit with Miss Gene Culver.
John Martinsen, the Ford dealer
in this vicinity, made a business trip
to Des Moines this week. He came
home last night and will soon have
things going in tip top shape at his

In later issue of the Republican.
The policy of "retrenchment and
reform" has finally struck the Rock
Island system, and as result, large
number of good men among the corps
of telegraph operators, are being let
out, at least temporarily, all along
I the line; many of them receiving less
than twenty-four hours notice, that
their services must, necessarily be
dispensed with. Just what many OF
the stations will do, where the duties
are more than the regular force can
attend to, is one of the problems,
which the management might perhaps
be able to understand and explain
satisfactorily, without much unneces-
sary figuring.
The wholesale liquor dealers
throughout the country are getting
busy: and the mails are flooded with
well-worded and attractively-printe
circular letters, soliciting orders by
mail for any and all kinds of liquor
shipped direct to the consumer, at
greatly reduced prices. For eighty
cents in coin, postage stamps money
order or bank draft, they will send
you one full quart of aged" booze,
which you are privileged to sample,
and IL you are satisfied with the goods
your order can be placed for any
quantity, and when accompanied by
the cash, will be filled and shipped
promptly. Prohibition cannot be
made complete success until the
manufacture and shipment of liquor
is prohibited by law.

STYLE SHOW TODAY

This afternoon the style show will
be given at the Gen Theatre under
the direction of division Of the lad

reports the show will be something
that can be appreciated and enjoyed
by everyone. This show is not for
women only but for the men folks
too. Two shows will be given, one
at 1880 and a second at 1890. The
price of admission is 15c. II you
attend you will be helping the ladies
create fund to equip free public
play ground. 1t is a worthy cause
and the "style show" should shake
the sheckels loose.

MEN BURIED ALIVE

early Tuesday night by rescue parties

tombed early by an explosion Mon
day in the Layland mines of the New
River and Pocahontas Consolidated
Coal company near Quinnimount.
Nothing was known as to the fate
of the men not yet reached. Even
outside the mines, evidences were
numerous that the force of the ex-
plosion was terrific. m
The arch over the main entrance
of the workings was destroyed, win
dows within a 800 yard radius were
broken and the explosion was felt for
miles around.

AMERICAN FLAG IN EVIDENCE

The American flag now has the
right of way on Belgium roads and

lions of the relief commission it
forms about the only bit of color in
this desolate land. For time the
flying of the American flag became
so general that an order was given
by the commission that this pract-

some misuse of the banner might
cause friction with military author
