Washington, Aug. 31.-The five cent
loaf containing fourteen ounces is in
sight today as a result of governmental
wheat price fixing at 1920 q bushel
for the 1917 crop.
The wheat administration believes
that while farmers may be displeased
to some extent by price lower than
they expected, the new system Will
make their profits sure; will prevent
speculation, give millers and bakers a
fair margin and assure the working
man fair priced bread.
The price fixing committee said to-
dav it believed the farmers, as pa
triotic duty, should be willing to re-
linauish some profits for the good Of
the whole war cause.
The new prices will prevail not alone
for the United States but also for the
allies, for whom purchases will be made
through the National Wheat Corpora
ton. President Wilson expressed him
self as confident the price fixing will
stabilize the wheat business and work
for the general good
It Was Compromise
The price fixing committee started
with two extremes, the consumers de-
sire for $1.S4 and the producers de-
sire for $780, Compromises, however,
were made with the resultant $2.20
fixed on the basis of number one north
ern spring wheat delivered at Chicago.
That the 1920 wheat price is fair
to the farmers is indicated bv state
ment issued today by the department.
of agriculture, which shows that $2.49
,vos the highest average price paid to
producers during the last ten years.
This price was reached last June.
The average yearly price of number
one northern spring wheat on the Chl-
cago market during the last ten years
was $l26, ranging from 81 cents in
1918 to $2.37 this year The average
price paid to producers during this per-
iod was $l.Ol, ranging from 10 oensS In

Hindenburg Plan
Of Defense Explained
(By Henry wood)

l.
With the French Armies, July o.
By Mail-The much-vaunted "Hinden.
burg Plan" is no longer a closed Sc
cret. The nature of this "plan" was
long ago fully guessed and understood
ty the French military authorities, who
preferred however, not to talk about it
at that time. In short, from attempting
to hold the western front by defensive
lines. Hind ---g will hereafter try to
hold it byl-.| stem of successive de-
fensive zor ? ones that continue back
to the Rhi d into Germany.
By retire :! from one zone, when he
can no Iona - old it, to the next one
prepared il &c rear, Hindenburg hopes
to save his IS from ever being pierre
ed, and at r same time convince the
German pi that his 'stragetic re-
treat" is = great victory.
Hindenb . plan became operative
as matt ? fact last March when
he retreat, - his first "zone of de-
fense IL ambrai, st. Quentin and
LaFere-when he could no longer stand
the pressure that had been created by
the Battle Of the Somme.
Work on these successive retreat
zones has now been under way for
months and little effort is made now
to conceal either their existence or pur-
pose. The supreme confidence which
German and Swiss military critics have
in Hindenburg' plan" is such that
in recent articles they boast of the fact
that Hindenburg will be able to retreat
for SO kilometers without having his
front pierced. Whether fifty-kilometer
retreat can be forced onto the German
public as another stragetic victory"
remains to be seen.

Lesson For Americas
Boys In lndepend=
enCe Day

HE country over which the Star
Spangled Banner floats today eX-
hibits to other ns tons the great
prosperity of a free, self governed peo-
pie. And few can look upon her flag
ripping in the breeze without pride of
country, and surely this pride is par
donable. The sun shines not upon
land more fair or upon a land where
human happiness is valued at so high
rate or so little abused, where insti-
tutions are so strong or people more
free.
Let every American boy remember
that he has a definite share In the ma
tional celebration. Do not let any one
forget his part. Every boy in this
great republic has much to do In the
maintaining of the state and upbuild-
ing of the nation.
And let us I'LL while exulting In the
prosperity of our land not forget amid
the other voices of the hour to lift to
God great thanksgiving, for without
God nations arc as naught. May he
grant that our country's Star Spangled
banner snail forever h0at "o'er the
land of the free and the home OF the
brave"
God bless the fagl Let 1t float and fill
The sky with its beauty. Our heart
strings thrill
To the low. sweet chant OF its wind swept
bars
And the chorus of all its clustered stars.
Embrace 1t, o mothers. and heroes shall
grow
While its colors blush warm on your bos-
omS of snow.
Defend 1t, o fathers! There's no sweeter
death
Than to float its fair folds with soldiers
last breath.
And love It, o childrenl Be true to the
sires
Who wove It In pain by the old camp
fires.

Worlds Biggest Bird,
And July 4 Is His Day

THE biggest bird in all the world
is the great American eagle,
with one claw resting on the
highest peak of the Allcghenies and
the other en- the Rocky mountains,
with one wing touching Porto Rico,
the other tanning the distant Philip
pines.
His bcak reaches the Canadian Dor
der, and his tail dips into the gulf of
Mexico. And his voice, the thunder
tones of this mighty bird. echoes from
South America to Canada-aye, and far
beyond, over unto the uttermost cor
ners of the earth, is the scream Of the
American eagle heard and needed.
Thus at all times. But there is one
day in every year when its triumphant
tones sound the loudest, the most JOY.
Gus, the world over.
That is ON the glorious Fourth of
July, the nations proud birthday. II
is then that the small boy and the big
boy burn powder as incense to the
memory of our gallant forefathers who
drove the British from our shores and
with their hearts blood upheld their
noble Declaration of Independence for
all time to come.-Helen Harcourt in

Prohibition states have been
given the advantage in the selec-
ton of the cantonment sites in
which the new national army OF
$3.50 are to be drilled for war.
While some camps have been To-
Gated in wet territory, the number
has been limited and they were
chosen only because of outstanding
military advantages. Everything
else being even, the dry states have
been given the preference. This
was not because OF sentiment, say
War Department officials, but be-
cause liquor and war don't mix.
An example of how Prohibition
has influenced materially the camp
selections came to light through
the naming of Des Moines, Iowa,
and Fort Riley, Kansas, as sites.
In the selection of Des Moines foi
