WILL MILL GRAIN AT HOME
Only Flour Be Shipped to Europe. By
Products Retained

Portland, Sept. 3.-Grain produced
this year in the Pacific northwest will
be milled at home. The bulk of the
flour will be shipped to Europe but the
millstuffs will be largely consumed here.
This announcement ives wade today py
Theodore B. Wilcox, federal milling
commissioner, and M. Fl. Houser, federal
grain commissioner, following receipt of
kilograms from Herbert Hoover, federal
food administrator, approving the plan,
which had been urged before him by
the northwest officials.
It is expected that material reduc-
tons in prices of butter and eggs and
other dairy and poultry products win
result from the lowering in prices of
chicken and stock feeds to follow the
execution of this plan.

oBITuARY OF ARTHUR FREEMAN.

SSA o<ASx OI AHxk1O6 FREEMAN.
Arthur NJ. Freeman was born in
Virginia, April 81, 1868, died at White.
bird, Idaho, August Is, 1917.
The predominant trait of Arthur s
character was deep love for his
mother. After her death life seemed
dreary and desofate. His body was
brought to Meadows and laid beside the
beloved mother. "Greater love hath no
man than this: that he lay down his life
for his friends.o The following verses
were found in his pocket with his
mothers picture:
Upon the height or down in the deep
A mothers love is still the same
Constantly o 'er US it brightness will keep
For it burns with unquenchable flame.
Tho we may travel over the sea,
Or stray from the path that is right
Forgetting, negleeting, scorning, still she
Is praying the same prayer tonight.
Her hands are thin and faded from age
Still hold the same touch as of old
And fain would she turn in life 3 book
every page
To the day when her child she could
hold.
For we still are the same in our mother 3
eyes,
No matter how badly we fare;
Her love Is as constant and true as the
skies,
Her heart holds no place for despair
Time cannot dim nor disaster effect,
For mother loves ever the same
1t fades not in poverty, trouble, neglect,
For it burns with unquenchable flame.

FARMERS ARE DISAPPOINTED
OVER PRICE DECIDED ON
FOR WHEAT.
Continued from page l. J

costs shall be stayed and reduced as
rapidly as possible consistent with the
welfare of the producer; that the gov
eminent is at the present time engaged
in the great task of reducing and stabi-
lizing costs of other stable commodities;
that the wheat of the world is abundant
for its needs even disregarding the
stores in Russia, but because of the lack
of shipping and war conditions the bur
den of supplying wheat to the allies
and to neutral nations rests for the
time being upon the United States and
Canada.
Consider 1918 Minimum.
"Your committee also has considered
the fact that the government price for
the 1917 wheat crop is in effect a con-
tinuing guaranty until the minimum
price guaranteed by congress for the
1918 crop goes into effect DULY /, 1879
1t has considered the relation of the
1918 minimum price guaranty to the
price here recommended. 1t has also
considered the effect which an early
termination of the war would have upon
the wheat markets of the world.
"In reaching its conclusion the COM
mite has been guided by the principles
you have announced, that fair price
should be based upon the cost of pro.
duetion for the entire country, plus a
reasonable profit We have relied upon
the cost estimates for the crop of 1917
furnished by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, checked by the re-
suits of our independent investigations
and the evidence submitted to the com.
mittee by producers and their repre-
sentatiyes.
1.-THE committee has considered the
regulations recently established by
United States grain corporation for the
different grades of the wheat through
which all transactions in wheat are to
be standardized and speculation check
ed, to be entirely adequate. All the pro-
fits of the grain dealer, miller and flour
dealer have been regulated and reduced
by the grain corporation, effecting a
material reduction in the cost of flour.
elm consideration of the foregoing
facts and circumstances, this commit
tee respectfully recommend that the
price of No. l northern spring wheat,
or its equivalent at Chiacgo be, $3.50
per bushe1.

The NelU
Golden Rule

The big mail order houses have launched this year
the most aggressive and widespread campaign for
business ever known in their history The logical
effect of this strenuous crusade will be to weaken ana
break down the local merchants and blight the COM
munities in which they operate.
The colossal sefishness of these foreign houses
should be resisted by every patriotic Citizen mere
is no better way than to apply the Golden Rule in
making your purchases.
Let YOUR slogan be,
The new Golden Rue-"Buy in Mssoula."
Our home merchants know prices. They do not
practice unethical trade tricks. In Missoula mer-
chants you can place confidence.
In them YOU have direct and personal recourse for
all complaints. On local merchants you can call for
help in public enterprises, church, charity and civic
movements
Be loya-be TRUE citizen. Remember the
NEW GOLDEN RULE-"BUY IN MISSOULA"
IF you buy out OF town,
And we buy out of town.
And all our nieghbors
Buy out of town-What
Will become Of our town?
Ever think about it ?"
It's wise person who spends dollar where he has
chance to get it back again. foolish person is the
"penny-wise' mail order buyer who buys 'pign-a-
poke" every time he patronizes of those foreign
enemies of the hometown merchants.
Again Don't Forget the
New Golden Rule

There American Aviators
Will Receive Their
Final Instruction.
BEFORE ENTERING WAR
Finishing Touches Will Be
Put on by French Air
craft Experts.

Washington, June 3.--Contracts have
been awarded to an American firm for
the construction of a wo-squadron
aviation field in France, where Amer
lean army filters will receive final
preparation before taking their place
at the front. The aircraft production
board of the National Defense an
nounced today that the site had been
selected and that construction material
would be shipped from this country to
make the field an exact duplicate OF
similar fields now being equipped here
for the army.
Final training will be in French
hattie planes and under the French
instructors. AS yet the United States
has produced no airplanes OF sufficient
power and speed for use at the front.
The announcement was made in n
statement issued by the committee on
public information by Chairman
Howard Il. Coffin Of the board. The
training fields at Dayton, Detroit and
Champaign, Illinois. will be so near
completed by. June 90 that 500 stu
dent aviators, graduates of the pre-
liminary theoretical courses given at
six colleges. can begin their training in
flight by that time.
LAS new airmen leave American
fields at the end of their four months
training" the statement says. they
will fly to the Atlantic coast and en-
bark for France. On French soil, un-
der French instructors and with
French machines they will complete
their apprenticeship for actual work at
the front.
France and Great Britain have
made it plain again and again that
they expect aircraft and aviation to
be one of the Americas greatest con
tribuuons to success in the war The
government can now say that it IS ac-
tnally embarked on the task of over
coming its present deficiency in mill
tary aviation. We believe that the
outlook promises a quick development
of the latest air resources of America
which may be unprecedent in history.
