THEY NO LONGER KEEP UP THE BLUFF

President Wilson is blaming the middemen for the high of living and advising farmers of the coun
 try increase their output for the food supply. And that is the best the President do-reiterate piece of advice that has already old in service. What
 whole lot of difference there is indeed between it and the bombastic pledges made four years ago and since repeated that with the Democratic party in power the cost of living would be immediately forced down to reasonable figure. Democracy has again the day national election and with the triumph achieved there H no longer any need of comforting assurances to an overtaXed people MT Wilson cooly tells the people that if the of living is to be lessened, they will have depend upon their efforts to do it. The government cannot be expected relieve them-WeIs CN. Y) Ad- ir0ndack Herald.

A MERE WASTE OF TIME

In yesterdays dispatches, we were told that President Wilson had addressed the senate 3.d in his speech he suggested the organization af aioint league with other nations with the View of ending the war. The suggestion is worth e. consideration. of course; but what the masses cannot understand is this, if this can have tbe desired result; why wasn't it taken up thirtg-cae months ago. To start such a movement at tais late day, is merely waste of time. Those vaa- ring nations are frantic. They have reached 8 state of madness that nothing short of annihia- tion will satisfy them The price of peace is leo great now for one side to give in peaceablz
 In our opinion. the only way that peace eaa be restored among those mad factions is for aa neutral nations to ioin forces with one side end reduce the other into submission Might, alone can restore peace now. Is President Wilson gil ling to do that? Of course not. But supposng he was, the people would not consent; and there you are. Obviously, the movement is a mere waste of time unless those fighting natfon= faH- iosity is only 3 make believe.

who came to Bakers rescue also
were attacked when they attempted

According to witnesses. the fight
started when an !. w. w. told Baker
his uniform meant no more to the
country than the uniform Of the

DEFECTIVE TORPEDO
PREVENTS DISASTER
American Steamer IL Attacked BY
Submarine But No Damage
Sustained.
(By Associated Press.1

An Atlantic Port, Sept. 1.-THE
deficient mechanism of a German
torpedo, discharged by an invisible
submarine, is said to have prevented
disaster to a large American steam
ship which arrived here yesterday
from a British port.
According to the passengers q sub
marine attack was made on the sec
ond day out. The wake of the tor
pedo was observed and an Immediate
change in the course of the steamer
was ordered. The torpedo, the pas
senger asserted, when about 100
yards from the steamer, leaped from
the water and, on returning to the
water, headed in a new direction,
which carried 1t past the stern Of
the vessel by 20 yards.
No submarine was sighted but the
liner fired one shot from "a stern gun
at an object which, 1t was asserted
might have been periscope.

in 1915 and reasonable profit had
for the farmer who produced the
1917 crop OF wheat under extra
ordinary conditions with regard to
the cost in the wheat growing sec
tions in a year OF minimum yields.
"As / view the situation, the chief
difficulty lies in the fact that there
was q. dearth of reliable information
as to actual cost of producing an
acre of wheat. The old data OF ten
years ago is wholly unreliable and
not applicable to the wheat farmers
problem of today. The great wheat
farmer is not in che same class with
the general farmer who diversified
and wheat growing has but small
place in his farm operations, but we
must needs consider the wheat
farmer as a class by himself in the
great winter and spring wheat reg
ions. To the first class, wheat is
only an incident in his establishment
of crop rotation. In the other class,
wheat is the great many producing
crop and the only marketable crop
grown upon many Of the large wheat
farm.
DR.. Ladd dealt at some length with
the cost Of producing wheat, and
cited a number of specific cases.
These indicated costs up to $24.41 an
acre in wheat production.
War Profits.
DR.. Ladd dealt at some length with
the question of war profits taken by
big corporations, and he maintained
that the government, by reducing
wheat prices, had established a prin-
ciple that should be maintained all
the way down the line.
'As / see the situation, the farmer
complains chiefly because he feels at
the present time that he is the first
to have his war profits taken away
without in an equal manner affecting
the war profits Of other industries,
especially those products which the
farmer is obliged to purchase. If 1T
is announced that it costs $500 per
bushel to grow and market wheat
and that in an open and unrestricted
market, the farmer was sure with the
shortage in available world supply
for wheat of $500 per bushel, then
when the price is fixed at $E.UO. there
has been taken 80 per cent Of his
supposed war profits. He asks that
other industries be treated in like
manner. He says, for example, that
in 1914, steel bullets sold for $1,000
per ton, while in June, 1917, they sold
at S9S.75 per ton. Corn in 1914, at
Tic and in June Of the present year
at $1.71; sugar in 1914 at 4.2c, in
June of this year 7.5c: bituminous
coal 1929, now 500; flour. s4.5s, now
$3.50 and on wheat that should have
-four at $500 to $500 per
barrel, or IL we place the sales price
Of July, 1914, on a basic . 100 per
cent for a few Of the ~JUucts, we
have as follows for June. 1917:
