FARMERS GET WAR SPIRIT
Resentment Against the Wheat Price
Fixing and Federal Draft is Rapid
Iy disappearing.

Topeka.-The farmers of Kansas are
gradually catching the war spirit
They are not only becoming recon
ciled, in a measure. to the food regu-
lations, but are aiding now in war
charities.
When Administrator Hoover's board
fixed the price of 1917 wheat at about
81 a bushe1 in Kansas, practically all
the wheat farmers objected. In one
fell swoop the price was cut at least
rs cents a bushel That meant con-
tribution of about $50,o00,00O in one
lump from the farmers and they felt
that it was too much. Just about that
time the government began taking
their boys to the training camps, 1eav-
ing the farmers without any expert
enced help. This didn't tend TO i'm
prove their dispositions any, especial
ly when they had gone through cam
paign based on the issue HE has kept
us out of war"
Added to this came the new revenue
laws that hit most of them, then came
the drouth, which cut the corn crop
short. But the farmers have had time
now to give the matter second
thought and are rounding up in a pa
triotic manner.
Many farmers who threatened to
feed their wheat to hogs rather than
sell it at 81 a bushel have changed
their minds and are marketing it.
They all admit that 81 is a good price
for wheat and that it is a money-mak-
ing crop at that price. The trouble
this year was that the crop was al
most an entire failure and its cost of
production probably averaged as much
as the farmers got for it With a 81
price guaranteed for next years crop
the farmers hope to make big profits,
although the growing crop at this
time is not very promising.
Since farm work has slowed up for
the season and the farmers have had
time to congregate and talk things
over among themselves and have been
informed of the real situation in re-
gard to the war, they are casting
aside their resentment and getting
into the war game.

PRIORITY Of COAL
STARTS A BIG ROW
Food Administration Files Pro-
lest Against Fuel Having
the Right of Way.
GRAIN SHIPMENTS NECESSARY
II Loss of PerishabIe Foodstuffs Is to
Be Avoided, Prompt Movement
Is vitality Necessary.

Washington, Dec. Requests from
different governmental quarters for
priority of transportation of food, fuel
and munitions has thrown the whole
question of preferential shipment into
a tangle. The committee on priority
of transportation. of which Robert S.
Lovett is chairman, tonight was try
ing to clear the situation
Acting on the suggestion Of Fuel
Administrator Garfield, the general
operating committee of Eastern rail-
roads today, without waiting for for
NAL government action, gave coal and
coke shipments a general right of " ay
to clear congested terminals and an
nounced that these commodities will
be given preference to the fullest pos
sible extent DR.. Garfield has re-
quested of the priority committee a
general order giving coal the trac-s.
Food Administration Protests.
The food administration tonight an
nounced it had entered a strong pro-
test with the priority committee
against giving priority to coal move
ment or any other freight over food
shipments. The situation is further
complicated by demands of the war
and navy departments for preferential
rights for the movement of their sup
plies At the offices of the priority
committee none would say what ma
terials would be given preference, and
some officials suggested that the whole
question might be taken up for decis-
ion by the recently created war coun-
Gil, comprising department heads and
chairmen of the various government
boards and commissions.
To Speed Up All Shipments.
The railroads themselves, in re-
spending to Dr. Garfield's request that
coal be moved ahead of general
freight, asked that a general priority
order for coal be withheld until the
roads have had an opportunity to test
their plan for pooling equipment and
trackage. Recently they announced
that there was no objection to gen
eral priority orders, but took occasion
to declare that government officials
demanding preferential movement for
specific shipments had done much to
complicate the railroad congestion.
