Declares Exporters Are stripping Tue
Country of Wheat In Order to-
pile Up Big
Profits.

ELK CITY. okla. October 2o.--
THE department OF agriculture is
sending out circulars advising people
To eat bread made of three parts OF
posato flour and two parts wheat
flour" said Allen Benson, socialist
candidate for president, who spoke
here last night
"That seems to be the administra-
TONS way Of meeting the bread stu
iation." he declared. but we have
raised enough wheat to make wheat
bread. Potato bread at least, mas
its merits as IL is not interfering
with the profits OF the exporters who
iare stripping our country of wheat.
lBut do Americans gain anything by
accepting reduced standard OF Nv
ing?
About ten years ago James VIII
son, secretary of agriculture, issued
bulletins to housewives telling them
! how, by cooking a round steak/weil,
liz could be made estable. That was
/ Wilson's solution of the problem OF
tho high cost of sirloin steak. The
iresult Of this advice has been, where
as before the price OF round STEAK
was ten cents pound. it IS nov the
same price as sirloin steak-twen-
/ ty-five cents a pound or more. The
beef trust is the only beneficiary OF
his advice. People are now eating
round steak at sirloin steak prices.
Ian embargo on all food exports, OF
course, would keep American food
for Americans"

Grain Destroyed by Fire.

Peoria, ILL.,, March 6.-Fire here
this morning destroyed the Iowa
elevator. owned by the Minneap-
oils & st. Louis railroad, together
with 100000 bushels of grain,
largely the property of s. c. Bart
lett & Co. The less is estimated
at 100000;
The fire was the. most disas-
trous in Peoria for many years
and for time threatened to
spread to the vast distilling and
manufacturing district near by.
The efforts of the entire fire de-
partment were required to save
surrounding buildings. Firemen
were unable to check the elevator
fire and at 10 80 it was still burn
ing furiously.

Montpelier, VT, March g.
The question whether Vermont
which for II years has permitted
the licensing of liquor selling un-
der form of local option, shall
again adopt prohibition, will be
decided on Town Meeting Day
Tuesday.
There will be referendum vote
also on the acceptance of the di-
rect primaries act. A prohibitory
amendment to the State Constitu-
ton will come before the people
on a yes and no vote.
The prohibitory law was adopt
ed in 1852, the State being one
of the earliest to forbid the sale
of Intoxicating liquors. The pro-
hibitOry amendment was repealed
in February, 1902, and local op-
ton substituted.

from a speech made before the
State League Of Building and
Loan Associations, held at St.
Joseph, Missouri, September "a

of Springfield, a former state SUI
pervisor of Building and Loan
Associations:
"Six years ago we had 1877
Building and Loan Associations
in Missouri with combined assets
of 100000. Now we have 100
Associations, with total assets of

Big Naval Battle Expected.

London, March 6.-Somewhat
vague but persistent lumors
which have Eern circulated here
for several days by word of mouth
regarding the North Sea war
zone have created state of ex-
pectancy among Londoncrs. This
expectancy has been heightened
by dispatches received from
Scandinavia today predicting a.
battle between British and Rus
sian and German warships is not
far distant. j..
Russian torpedoes are reported
to have been seen near the island
of GLAND, Sweden, in the Baltic
Sea, and a half dozen German
submarines have been observed
off Oxelsund, on the Baltic to the
south of Stockholm.
The general opinion in Scandi-
navia is said that Great Britain
and Russia will intercept German
sailings to Sweden. Naval ex-
perts have expressed the opinion
privately for several days that the
Germans are preparing to venture
out and that important events are
pending.
