WHAT EDITORS SAY
Wheat Prices.

Up In some of the northern wheat fields the farmers
talking about withholding wheat from the market in the
hope OF forcing the government to bushe instead
of & 20 the price set by the Washington authorities
II is possible that s. 70 does represent quite as large
price for wheat the northern farmers had expected
but there has been nothing to indicate that they will lose
money in producing wheat at this figure professor IN
the University of MINNESOTA who ought to be in touch with
wheatrasing problems and profits recently declared that
farmers had proted by the war than any other class
II there should be any concerted by farmers to
withhold wheat from mar ket might easily become serious
us, now there are enough cars take of shipments
prot,y good shape but there is telling how the rail
roads will be fxeda few weeks months hence Already
OF the mills throughout the country shutting down
with the explanation that they cannot get wheat to mill
and bread famine wheat is withheld from the market
is possible
Doubtless the authorities investigated carefully before
they fixed & 20 the minimum wheat price II they still
believe fair price they should lose time in informing
the farmers of the country that efforts TO boost prices by
holding wheat will be unavalling Globe.

Help the Library Fund.

Tacoma is asked to raise several thousand dol
lars as its share in the millon-dollar campaign to
establish libraries for the soldiers.
! This city, which has so generously responded
to the Liberty bond and Red Cross funds, must
not now fail.
This campaign is intended to give the Ameri-
can fighting men, detained in camp, a measure of
the privileges of ordinary civil life. Books and
magazines are in this day and age a common me-
cessity to American young men.
In Tacoma, the city that is so proud of its high
honors in educational matters, the thousands
asked must be forthcoming We must each give
the dollar OF more that we can afford to give
The million dollars to be raised really means
that there will be less than dollar spent for each
soldier and sailor in the service.
In each cantonment there is to be erected
