and received assurances of support for

he explained, including S0,000,o00 for
seeding purposes, That amount, he
said, was about this years crop. Last
year the nation had a carry over" of
about 170.0O0,o00 bushels of wheat.
From July ! last until March / last
the amount exported was about $780,
100000 bushels. With all these facts
in mind, the secretary said, it was
hard to determine the cause of $2.32
wheat. Figures We're given showing
that the production of corn, barley
oats, rice, milk and butter, eggs and
other food products this year We're
greater than, or at least equal to the
average for the last five years, and
that production had increased.

high prices are due to a combination of
circumstances"

Urges Minimum Prices.
Secretary Houston said he had heard
there had been already storage of
quantities of food by people alarmed
over the situation, but he did not be-
lieve this was general In his opinion
the farmer is quite safe in increasing
production and is sure to find high
prices continuing even if peace were
to come now. But he said the farmer
should be guaranteed a minimum
price for the things the government;
told him he should grow to help the
nation,
THE sentiment throughout the
country is fine" said he. "Undoubted
ly the farmers are willing to respond
| to the best of their ability. The farm
| ers are just as patriotic as the rest
of us. 1t is natural, however thai
when they are asked to pay increased
prices for seed and fertilizer they
should ask where do we get off?'
Il suggest that we should have legis

believe congress should attempt to fl,
prices of things that would be subjeC

certain extreme emergencies ther

speculation that could be controlle'
that way. | suggest that you Confe

Gil Of the Knights of Columbus at
the opera house on Monday eve

Goldstein, of Boston. The su-

against the insidious propagandas
of the enemies of God ond coun-
try, have assigned Mr.. Goldstein
for a lecture in this city.
In reporting his Chautauqua
work of last summer the Pontiac
lll.) Daily Leader says: The adj
dress of David Goldstein of Bos-
ton, Secretary Boston School Of
Political Economy, attracted wide
attention at the first Sunday
meeting of the chautauqua yes
terday.
Mr.. Goldstein is an interest
ing speaker, gifted with. a keen,
penetrating intellect, a marvel
Gus flow Of language, and q
trenchant, almost cold-blooded
way Of driving fact after fact
right home to his hearers. He
does not mince words, and every
sentence he utters is given in a
way that almost forces assent
Mr.. Goldstein was formerly a
foremost leader in the socialist
movement, having been the first
candidate of the socialist party
for Mayor Of his home city, Bos-
ton. He is said to have resigned
from the socialist movement
twelve years ago after a futile at
tempt to get the organization to
repudiate it's immoral teachings.
HIS reasons are outlined in a book
called Socialism, the Nation Of
Fatherless Children, which has
a circulation Of over 10000
copies. It is highly recommend
ed by Cardinal O'Connell, Col.
Roosevelt, Samuel Gompers, and
other distinguished opponents Of
socialism the country over.

occasion, for Mr.. Goldstein is said
to be. a past master in meeting
frend' and foe face to face with
a courteous but decisive defense
of his convictions. The press
near and far have a like story to
tell. The Providence Journal
says: "The readiness with which
Mr.. Goldstein handled the quer-
les which were hurled at him,
sometimes two and three at a
time, indicated his thorough
knowledge of his subject, and his
ability to discuss it at all angles"
Speaking of Mr.. Golds.ein's
work in San Francisco, The Mons
tor says:
There were 5000 people In
that immense auditorium and it's.
spacious galleries were packed
to the doors. Hundreds were
obliged to stand; many were turn
ed away. The sea of humanity,
that greeted the speaker when
he stepped forth must have been
an inspiring sight to him. To a.
less courageous man the knowl-
edge that hundreds Of his sworn
enemes, the Reds were also
gathered there, come to defy him
and cry him down., might have
been disconcerting, to say the
least. But to Goldstein, the
more the merrier.' There never
was a crowd Of socialists big
enough yet to do anything but
sharpen his wit the keener, and
reinforce his daring all the more
"Goldstein's lecture was more
than a lecture. It was a specta-
Gle and a debate-one man,
against hundreds. The air was J.
surcharged with the electricity
Of the conflict. The dramatic
suspense was keener than in the
most breathless play. To see
