PLENTY OF GRAIN
FOR LOCAL MILLS
4
ANOST OF SUPPLIES FOUND IN
REGULAR TERRITORY KEEP
WHEELS TURNING
QUALITY OF WHEAT MAKES A
BETTER GRADE OF FLOUR
THAN USUAL

/While Minneapolis millers are buying
wheat from all over the Northwest,
shipping it from as far west as the states
OF Washington and Oregon and paying
as much as SO cents a bushel freight,
New Ulm millers are securing enough
In their own territory to supply the
demand. The wheat being ground by
the Eagle Roller Mill Company as usual
IS coming from their own line of elevators,
with additional supplies being purchased
from North and South Dakota and
Eastern Montana.
Grain From Four States.
while we usually are obliged to buy
a considerable grain outside of that
taken in at our elevators, situated on the
M. & St. L. and Northwestern roads,"
said II. l.. Beecher, of the Eagle Mill
company, "this year our purchases
extend over little larger territory than
usual. We are experiencing no trouble
whatever in getting plenty Of wheat to
Keep our mill running, and in filling our
orders.
when the new crop season opened
this fall we were little fearful that so
much of the wheat was shrunken that
we might not be able to keep the flour
up to our high standard, but we found,
after "a little experimenting, that the
shrunken wheat mixed with the plump
berry, produces a better quality than
ever, and that is just what we are doing
this year. This flour makes an excellent
loaf, large and firm.
Besides large crop in Montana,
and of the very best quality, there was
a large amount of the 1915 stock left
over. Montana wheat is among the
best that grows anywhere"
Minneapolis Goes to Coast.
Minneapolis, according to the Journal,
is drawing wheat from sixteen states and
three Canadian provinces to supply her
mills. Wheat brought from Washington
and other far Northwestern states, costs
so cents bushel for the freight, but
gzain men in the Mill City, find that
fhere is such large variation in the
price between the Pacific Coast and
Minneapolis, that it pays to buy in that
market and pay the difference in freight.
One firm in that city last week, bought
in one purchase, $4,000 bushels of
Washington bluestem wheat. Tacoma
and Seattle would ordinarily get this
wheat, but there is not enough ocean
tonnage available on the Pacific to make
it possible for the grain to move that way
for export.
Flow of Commerce Changes.
The incident is given as an illustration
of the change of the flow of commerce
across great producing empire and
the backward turn of the traffic stream.
The wheat will come east over the Great
Northern road, far out into the state of
Washington, at freight rate of so
cents a bushel.
The following states are now supply
ing Minneapolis mills with grain Mime
sofa, North and South Dakota, Wiscon-
sin, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon,
Washington, Nebraska, Kansas and
Oklahoma, and the Canadian provinces
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Barley is coming from California and
Utah, while corn is coming from Missouri
and Illinois, in addition to the states
from which the supply is usually drawn.

chief of police to get busy is another
reason. They say the mayor had his
hand forced; that Singleton was
ready to rush to Hoyne with the
goods" that he had.
Evidence has already been pre-
pared for Hoyne that certain poIiti-
clans connected with the Thompson
Lundin organization have been sell.
ing privileges in the districts they
profess to boss. HOyne was going
after them. He realized they were
really more to blame than the police.
The Thompson followers got the
first news the other day that HOyne
was getting busy. Remembering
the fate of Francis Becker, Thomp-
son-Lundin lieutenant in the 21st
ward, indicted in connection with
graft scandal, they also got busy.
An appeal was made higher up.
The City Hall was being pounded by
the papers for the Sunday law vio-
lations. Another scandal would have
played havoc with the Thompson
Lundln administration.
Somebody would have to be sacri-
feed that the big fellows might be
saved. The police were immediate
ly selected as the goats. Singleton
had included in his charges of slot
machine gambling that two captains
of police were receiving $500 and
$3.50 a week graft for the privileges.
This gave the City Hall crowd
their big chance. Nothing is more
satisfying or interesting to the public
than nice, long graft trial with the
police as the defendants and inside
conditions" exposed. We will prob
ably soon have it.
The men first selected are: Capts.
Caughlin, Stock Yards; Cronin, Ken
sington; Meagher, Brighton Park;
O'Toole, Sheffield av.; Russell, Chi
cago av., and Wood, Town Hall. I'm

The police say that in the complex
opinion regarding slot machines rem
deTed by Corporation Counsel Ettel-
son last winter there is nothing to
guide them in deciding which are Of
the gambling type and which are not.
EttelsOn this morning told reporters
that he himself did not know wheth-
er the present type of machines
which have caused the trouble are
gambling devices.
The police have another howl to
make. They say they don't know
where they stand under the present
administration. The Thompson
Lundin ieutenants have taken it
upon themselves to give the tip to
saIoonkeepers to open Sundays or
place slot machines in without mott
flying the police, according to. the
latter.
The police further say that if they
get troublesome they are told to LAY
off, by politicians, and now that they
have laid OFF, they are jammed the
minute the affair gets into the news
papers.
Meanwhile the City Hall crowd is
casting an anxious eye in the direc-
ton of the criminal court building,
hoping against hope that the little
scheme works before the trouble
some Mr.. Hoyne goes deeper than
the police department for the men
responsible.

public resources, and similar matters
vital to the people.
All laws pertaining to such prob
lens must eventually go to the SUI

become actually the supreme, IegisIa-

It is more than a court. 1t overrUles
congress, and exercises the veto
power on all legislation. All the other
departments of our government put
together are of less real power and
Importance than the supreme court.
The court divides along progressive
and conservative lines. Its progress

looking thought, by such men as

What the people need most is to
have more judges of the Brandeis

In voting for presidential candi-

therefore bear in mind that they are

the mere choice of a president
among them the future complexion
of the supreme court, the most pow

THE PUBLIC FORUM
BLAKE,S MODESTY,-I noticed

BLAKE'S MODESTY.-I noticed
an article in The Forum signed by
Charles G.. Blake, wherein he calls
attention to these facts:
First-That millions of the peO-.
pies money was being wasted and
many hundreds of. lives lost each
year because the drainage canal was
not finished as it should be.
Second - That this dilatoriness
was due to the fact that the majority
of the trustees have been bosses
slate candidates and so they have
kept the job going. The bosses want
jobs to give out.
Third-That if the canal is COM
pleted the taxes and the greater part
of the typhoid stops.
He is right on these points, but his
modesty apparently prevented his
going farther and telling The Forum
readers that he is a candidate for
trustee of the sanitary district and
that he has pledged to complete the
canal without regard to bosses or
politics.
He should also have told the fact
that his firm, Charles G. Blake & Co.,
was the first in Chicago to establish
a closed shop in the granite manu-
featuring business.
Further, that he was the man who
last spring obtained and sent to con-
gress the mammoth petition against
reducing the flow of water through
the canal and that congress needed
the protest and voted as petitioned.
l say he should have told all this,
because 1 know it will be to the peo-
pies interest to elect him, for he
served on the Morgan Park village
board for seventeen years when I
was president, before annexation,
and 1 know he was a hard worker
and a veritable watchdog in financial
and practical affairs of the munich

Missouri Crop Report.

Columbia, Mo-, August D, 1916.
While scattering showers have
brought temporary relief in few
counties, practically the entire
state is in urgent need Of rain,
according to the monthly crop re-
port of the Missouri State Board
of Agriculture. This report, based
upon August ! conditions, and is
sued today is as follows:
The month of June in Missouri
was marked by much intense heat
and very limited rainfall. At Col
umbia the precipitation was but
O.67 inches as compared with 3.65
inches as normal for July. In
many counties the rainfall would
have been sufficient for the i'm
mediate needs of growing crops,
except for the high temperature.
However, the heat of July and ex-
cessive rains earlier in the season,
combined to produce most unsat
isfactory conditions.
CORN-While corn has not suf-
fered as much from hot winds as
did the crop of 1911, the condition
due to the unfavorable distribu-
ton of moisture and to the impos-
sibility of proper cultivation, is
now 4 points lower than for that
year. Taking the state as a whole,
correspondents place corn at 57,2.
On August I, 1911, it was 61.2.
On August l, 1901, the low record
of 81 was recorded. The 10-year
August ! condition is TT. Dur
ing the month just ended corn
suffered loss of 22.2 points.
Present condition of corn by crop
division sections is: Northeast,
81; Northwest, 60; Central, Sc;
Southwest, 43; Southeast, SO.
Owing to the wider distribution
of the 1916 planting season as
compared with that of 1911 and
to the greater "spread" in the
growth and maturity of corn, it
is not improbable that with ample
rainfall during August, the pres
ent crop may equal that. of five
years ago, but with continued dry
hot weather it will fall far short.
The 1911 crop averaged 1873 bush
els per acre, a total yield of 49,
1884 900 bushels.
WHEAT-With SO per cent of
the 1916 crop threshed, indica-
lions are that the final yield will
not exceed 8.5 bushels per acre, as
compared with the earlier esti-
mate of SO bushels. Many fields
are failures and yields of from 3
TO 6 bushels are not uncommon.
When all threshing returns are in,
are that the Board of
preliminary fore
cast of 100000 bushels for the
state will stand.
HAY-Missouri has this year
produced one of the best hay
crops in her history-and the hay
crop of 1915 was valued at almost
F4O, 100000, or more than wheat
and oats combined. The 1916
nay crop has been saved in fine
shape, and with an abundance of
feed in stacks. ricks and mows
my shortage in corn cribs will
not be so serious. Yield of timo-
nv hay is estimated at 1,3 tons:
mixed timothy and clover, IA
;ons, with an acreage of 40 as
with last year. Alfalfa
s proving its worth as a drouth
crop.
PASTURES AND STOCK
PASTURES, especially where over
Itocked earlier in the season, have
allied rapidly. On the other hand
where pastures have been proper
y cared for and not grazed to ex-
,ess. grass is still supplying much
rood feed. Condition for the
tate is 63.2. s
