BREAK IN WHEAT
WOULD FOLLOW
CALL OF STRIKE

Paralysis Of freight service by a
nationwide strike would force down
the price Of wheat and flour on the
local market. prominent miller said
today. Wayne county produces more
wheat than 1t consumes, so a strike
would flood the local market
Even this year, when the county
wheat crop is estimated to be only
half the normal amount, there is a
considerable quantity of grain being
shipped to other markets by local
millers.
Wheat continued at $135 a bushel
today. Flour remained unchanged
since the first of the week, at $3.50
a hundred pounds wholesale.

FOOD SUPPLIES
WOULD Be CUT
OFF BY STRIKE

"A railroad strike would have a
worse effect on the food supply in
Richmond than a war;" declared Ed
Cooper today. IF strike is declared
and lasts as long as thirty days the
situation will become far more serious
than any one can realize"
Jobbers are dependent on the east
for coffee, tea and all fancy groceries. /"
Mr.. Cooper said. A strike would also
cut Oft absolutely the supply of most
OF the fruits now on the market with
in few days.
Not only would we be denied fancy
groceries and imported fruits, which
We could easily do without, but the
supply of such staples as potatoes,
sugar and many other necessities
would be cut off," he stated. "The
potato crop in this vicinity, for in
stance, would be exhausted almost i'm
mediately.
Means Higher Prices.
Even before the actual supply of
food would be exhausted, speculation
would initiate the prices and make
selling and buying difficult" he said.
Il doubt If the strikers themselves
realize the seriousness of the situa-
ton"
When told that local millers predict.
ed that a railroad strike would lower
the price of wheat and flour, by put
ting the surplus which Wayne county
is shipping to other markets, on the
local market, Mr.. Cooper said that he
believed such would not be the. case.
Farmers are prosperous, and can
and will hold their wheat if there is a
prospect of higher prices" he said.
Even if there is surplus of wheat,
the men who hold it have a monopoly
II no other wheat can be shipped In
from other markets"

Officers will also be elected.
The purpose Of the club will be to
further the best interests Of the
Democratic party in Wayne county.
Another important purpose of the club
will be to educate the young men of
the community in the work which
they will soon have to assume. The
young men who are under voting age
will have as much right to dictate
the policies of the club as will the
older men.
During the fall campaign, the club
will have rooms in the party head.

Four Drown in Big River Sunday.

lDe DOlO 1lueS.l
George Noonan, county clerk of
Washington county, his wife, her
mother, Mrs. Mary Campbell, and
Wade Richardson, a boy of 10, years,
all of Potosi, were drowned in Big
River while attempting to cross at
the Blackwell Ford Sunday evening.
The party had been spending tina
day at the home of DIR. j. B. Steinmetz
and had,started to Blackwell to take
train No. 9 to return to Potosi, There
had been rain during the day but not
enough to raise the river, but heavy
rains on the head of the creek had
caused a three foot rise. Lindell
Lester of st. Louis was driving the
party to the station and it is said he
objected to going into the swollen
stream but Mr.. Noonan took the lines
and drove in. The current is swift at
the ford. The rise made the water
deep enough to swim the horses and
soon their foundering upset the spring
wagon. Lester was the only one OF
the party to reach safety.
Up to the time of this writing
Thursday morning. the body of the
little boy, Wade Richardson, has not
been recovered. The bodies of Mrs.
Noonan and her mother were found
Monday forenoon almost a mile below
the ford, while the body of Mr.. Noon
an was not found until Wednesday
The funeral OF Mrs. Noonan and Mrs,
Campbell were held Wednesday and
hat of Mr.. Noonan to-day (Thurj
day.

Mrs. Barger, who was driving the car
and used very forcible and abusive
language; declared he was an officer
of the law and he would take the
occupants of the Codding car to Far
mington. Mr.. Codding then tried to
pacify the enraged man by telling
him that the collision was an
accident, and If any damage had
been done, he would gladly make it
good. This only aroused the man the
more. He again declared he was an
officer of the law, pulled a gun from
his pocket and began telling of all the
things he would do. The fact that the
accident was really unavoidable and
amounted to nothing rendered his
conduct all the more reprehensible.
Finally he permitted the Ironton
automobiles to come on their way
home, after making a bluff about
taking some names and intimating
future prosecution. In the car with
him were three ladies. Such is the
account given us by the occupants of
the Ironton car, and they are reputa-
BILE, reliable citizens.
