The normal laws of supply and demand have been violently interfered with and congress has undertaken to offset this disturbance by conferring extraordinary powers upon the presl- dent to stabilize prices Each of the foregoing factors grows out of condi tions which have received the careful attention of the committee. Chiefly among them are: that the wheat yield in a great and important section of the country has this year been below the normal that over against this situation is the crying need among the whole body of the population, es- pecially the wage earneTs, that the rising tide of costs shall be stayed and reduced as rapidly as possible consistent with the welfare of the producer; that the government is at the present time engaged in the great task of reducing and stabilizing costs of other staple commodities; that the wheat of the world is abundant for it's needs even disregarding the stores in Russia but because of lack of ship ping and war conditions. the burden of supplying wheat to the allies and to neutral nations rests for the time being upon the United States and Canada.
 Your committee also has consider ed the fact that the government price for the 1917 wheat crop is in effect 4 continuing guaranty until the min imum price guaranteed by congress for the crop of 1918 goes into effect (July 1, 1918).
 It has considered the relation of the 1919 minimum price guaranty u the nrice here recommended. Ii has

der the most favorable conditions. TO get that distance it would have to travel at a rate of very few miles an hour. It is argued, therefore, that II by means of aircraft, destroyers and all other agencies for the detection of submarines zone 150 miles or less in width could be drawn about the Ger man bases or the entrance of the North Sea, in which a submarine could come to the surface only at rare intervals, the Germans would not be able to operate on scale to threaten supply lines, except in side that zone.
 Whatever the plans of the allied government are as to future policy against the U-boats, rapid develop ment of the devices for checking the underwater campaign, accelerated by the entrance of the United States into the war are taking such shape as to indicate that a way may be found in the end to dispose of the menace. Re suits of U-boat activities this winter will be closely watched as having bearing on the subject.
 Rough weather may work equally against submarine or anti submarine plans.

w. Taussig. chairman of the tariff commission and Theodore N. Vait president of the American Telephone and Telegraph company.
 The announcement was made at the White House in the following state mcnt by the president:
 Section II of the food act provides among other things for the purchase and sale of wheat and flour by the gov ernment and appropriates money for the purpose. The purchase of wheat and flour for our allies and to a con siderable degree for neutral countries also, has been placed under the control of the food administration. I have ap- pointed committee 70 determine fair price to be paid in government pur- chases. The price now recommended by that commlttee-$2.2 per bushel at Chicago, for the basic grade-will be rigidly adhered to by the food admin istration.
 Tt IS the hope and expectation of the food administration, and my own also, that this step will at once stabilize and keep within moderate bounds the price of wheat for all transactions through out the present crop year, and in con sequence the prices of flour and bread also. The food act has given large powers for the control of storage and exchange operations and these powers will be fully exercised. An inevitable conseouence will be that financial deal ines cannot follow their usual course. Whatever tho advantages and disad vantages of the ordinary machinery of trade, it cannot function well under such disturbed and abnormal condi tionS as now exist. In its place the food administration now fixes for it's purchases fair price, as recommended unanimously by committee represen- tative of all interests and all sections and thereby it will eliminate specula tion, make possible the conduct of every operation in the full light of day maintain the publicly stated price for all and through economies made pos sible by stabiliZation and control. bet ter the position of consumers also.
 ''Mr Hoover at his express wish, has taken no part in the deliberations of the committee on whose recommenda- ton I determine the governments fair price nor has he in any way intimated an opinion regarding that price"
 The report of the committee ad- dressed to the president follows
 The undersigned committee has been asked by you to recommend the price which the government should pay for the 1917 crop of wheat.
 Tn it's deliberations the committee has kept constantly in mind the three following factCrs
 ''First-the fact that the United States is at war.
 "Second-The need of encouraging the producer.

 At the head of the procession of the cross came the church's most famous reformer, Andrew. Bishop of Ufa, whose life story, begun when he was leading worldly existence as a prince and an officer, reads like romance of spiritual regenera- ton by Tolstoi.

 After the services in the cathedral the three metropolitans and the sixty bishops proceeded to the monastery where are deposited the relics of Alexis. one of the most revered saints of the orthodox, and kissed the sacred objects. In the meantime the mass of the clergy and laymen marched through the KremIin grounds and on through the gates of the savious into the Red Square.
 The concourse in the square was so vast that many climbed to the vantage points on the Kremlin's walls while others perched under the twist ed cupolas of the church of Basil the Blessed. Later the metropolitans and the bishops made for the Heads mans Place." the scene of the san guinary executions under Ivan the Terrible, and held solemn service there.

 After the convention had been barred from Minnesota by Governor Burn quist, plans were made to meet in Fargo N D., but were abandoned at the last moment however. and Hudson selected because of it's proximity to the twin cities and adequate trans portation facilities. The change in plans also was due, it was said, to strong protests from citizens of North Dakota when they learned the con- vention was to be held in their state and to the attitude of members of the home guard who are said to have broken up a peace meeting in Fargo which was addressed by council speakers,
 Where we will go now is hard to say at present." MT. Lochner said. We have an invitation from the mayor of Milwaukee and are consid- ering that city. We also have in mind Chicago. Several of our meetings in that city recently have been very suc- cessful and it is possible that we might meet there"
 Asked if Fargo. N. D., would get the meeting. the executive secretary re- piled that it was unlikely.

also considered the effect which an early termination of the war would have upon the wheat markets of the world
 Tn reaching it's conclusion, the principles you have announced, that a fair price should be based upon the cost of production for the entire coun- try plus a reasonable profit We have relied upon the cost estimates for the crop of 1917, furnished by the United States department of agricul- ture checked by the results of our independent investigations and the evidence submitted to the committee by producers and their representa- tives.
 The committee has considered the relations recently established by the United States food administration grain corporation for the different grades of the wheat through which all transactions in wheat are to be standardized and speculation to he entirely eliminated. All that profits to the grain dealer, miller and flour dealer have been regulated and re duced by the grain corporation, eff fecting a material reduction in the cost of flour.

Almost 100000 will be used by water
companies in reforesting barren wa

cities depend for their water supply.
This number, although probably
greater than that to be planted by any
other state In the Union, is almost 2
100000 under the record set by Penn

shortage of labor and shrinkage Of the
