U. S. TO PROTECT
Wheat Growers. Fair Prices and Market
Will be Guaranteed in Effort to
Promote Production

Washington, June 2.-Spring wheat
growers of the Northwest were assured
by President Wilson in a personal inter.
view yesterday that the Government in.
tends to protect farmers in marketing
their crops and that prices will be guar.
anteed high enough TO stimulate produc-
tions. Farmers representatives were
told that the Government hopes per.
manent market reforms may grow out OF
war time measures.
1t is not the present intention to fix
minimum prices, the President said as
the Government believes production
prices will remain high without putting
this measure into effect
The callers told the President that
farmers are anxious that grain market
reforms may come from the experience
gained by the food administration. Sen
timent among farmers is strong, they
said, for federal operation of grain ex-
changes and federal ownership and oper-
alton of grain elevators and other stor-
age facilities used in interstate trade.
Fight Against Waste.
The service Of the country's suffragists
in the elimination of food waste were
offered to Herbert c. Hoover yesterday
by the National American Woman Suf-
frage Association which has organized a
suffrage thrift league with Mrs Walter
McNab Miller at its head
Emil Level, food commissioner for the
permanent French mission here, has
presented to Mr.. Hoover Frances grain
needs for the next year. His country,
he said, would require about 100000, 600
bushels of grain, as much OF it wheat as
can be supplied. The French do not
eat corn bread, but are now mixing a
heavy percentage of corn meal with
their wheat -four in milling. They are
milling s. per cent of the whole wheat
kernel.
Allied food purchases are now CO.
ordinated in London by a commission of
food executives representing England,
France and Italy. The apportionment
is worked out in London and each Of
the executives buys here direct. After
the new American food administration
is formed, Mr. Hoover will pass on all
allied food purchases before they are
made here.
A food research commission will be
named by Mr. Hoover as soon as the ad-
ministration is established. 1t will be
composed of many Of the country's food
experts and will study diet and other
related subjects.

CUSTER SCHOOL NOTES.

Rev. Mr. Harper called Friday morn
ing of last week and delivered q live
and inspiring address to the High School
He told US many things to guide our
every day steps into life of usefulness,
and not aspire to those things which we
are not best fitted.
This is examination week and every
one is putting forth his best efforts.
This week tells whether we pass to the
next step along the educational ladder
or whether we stay and become better
acquainted with work on the step where
we have stood during the school year
closing. If we don't go one step higher
we realize it is our own fault little
more effort upon our part would haye
been the promoting force
