CHICAGO. Oct. Two dollar
wheat before January was predict
ed today by Chicago grain men.
Prices toCay. both cash and fu-
lures. ranged about ten cents higher
than tho record price established in
January. 1915. following the out
break OF the European war.
The heavy decrease In this years
crop. coupled with conditions in Ar
gentina and the demand by the al
lies FOR the bulk OF the Australian
and Canadian wheat we're pointed to
as factors In the present high prices.
II was stated at the board OF trade
that the northwest has practically no
wheat of seed quality and good seed
wheat is nov seiln from 50 to 50
bushel.
Importstions OF Canadian wheat
for seed purposes is being seriously
discussed.
Agricultural experts of Canada
question whether the Canadian
wheat will be found adapted to Uni
ted States cultivation. Dealers in
cash wheat say the northwest far
mers are practically adheriDg 70
their decision to sell no wheat un-
less at 81 bushel.
Receipts from outside shipping
points have been rather light.
December has reached S1.59 "a,
as against s1.06 year ago. May
has reached S15s Is. as against
s1.07 rs year ago.
Cash wheat is selling around
1876, depending on the grade,
while millers are eagerly swapping
up all the available milling wheat.
As result OF tine advance in the
price OF wheat the price of flour
continues TO rise steadily. Special
brands are reported at 500 a barrel
wholesale.
Dealers say that if the price OF
wheat continues to advance the price
OF flour will have to keep pace.
Members OF the board of trade
said the present high prices could
mot be blamed on speculation They
said il It had not beef for open
tracing on the board of trade the
bic elevator men WOULD long ago
have cornered the supply and wheat
would have been higher than II is at
present.
All produce is practically trailing
close behind grain. Potatoes are
$1.45 per bushel, compared to AZ
cents year ago. Eggs, butter,
poultry and other supplies are up
correspondence in most cases.
Dealers blame bad weather for the
potato shortage and say that the hot
summer damaged the poultry, ac-
counting for the high price of eggs.
With heavy demand from the
warning countries for foodstuffs
dealers declare that lower prices
may not be expected this winter un-
less an embargo il established 10

81 am 20 years old and hadn't been
able to strike lick of work for over
IA years until got to, taking this
Tanlac medicine" said Mr.. H. w. Mil
Ter, at Jacobs Pharmacy, Saturday.
Fourteen years ago had a terrible
spell of typhoid fever and since that
time hadn't been able to use my right
arm to do any good. 1t felt weak and
and numb and had no strength in it,
but | didn't get Tanlac for this trou-
BILE, as l had not idea I would ever be
able to use it again.
II bought it for kidney trouble, rheu-
matism and pains in my back. Well,
it relieved me of these troubles alright,
but, strange to say it helped my arm,
too Yes sir, it has actually made my
arm so much better that can now do
lot of work-something l hadn't
been able to do in these years. don't
know how to account for it but that's
what actually happened, and all my
neighbors who have known me for
years will tell you the same thing.
Going back to my old trouble, l
suffered a great deal from my back
and joints, and was so nervous all the
time couldn't sleep much. Some
times | would get so nervous and
strung-up that the least noise would
almost make me jump out of bed be-
sore could control myself
my stomach was all out of shape,
TOO, and l couldn't eat to do any good
Nothing seemed to taste right, and |
got so finally | would have vomiting
spells after trying to eat. To tell you
the truth | was in mighty bad fix and
was just getting weaker and weaker
all the time. / don't feel that way
now and after taking only three bot
ties of Tanlac, have gained 10 pounds
n weight, besides my stomach feels
just like had ANEW one put in, and

WITH MERCER TRUSTEES


Macon, June 5.-The much discuss
ed question of whether or not Greek
letter societies shall be ousted from
Mercer university, as demanded by the
non-fraternity men, will probably be
determined at the meeting Of the board
of trustees Of the university. The trus-
tees have been instructed by the Bap-
list convention of Georgia to inves-
tfgate the matter and report as to the
best course to pursue
The sessions of the trustees will be
behind closed doors and the only infor-
nation obtainable about what trans
pires will be what the trustees care to
give out 1t is understood that repre-
sentatives of both sides of the ques-
ton will be called before the trustees
to give their views.
During the past week so-called com
promise drawn up by the faculty was
submitted to the student body at chap
ell meeting, and later at a meeting OF
the non-fraternity organization the
compromise measure was unanimous
