THE COAL SITUATION.

If the operators can supply the Gov
eminent with steam coal for the
price Of 1926 a ton at the mouth of
the pit there is no evident reason
why the industries OF the country and
other users should be required to pay
nearly so per cent more for the same.
Appeals to economic laws in justific-
alton of the eXhortions practiced by
producers of coal are mere SUFFERING
es when these laws are not permitted
to operate freely.
Genuinly comparative conditions do
not exist when there is, on one hand
an abnormal demand (resulting part.
ly from speculation and partly from
hysteria) and, on the other hand, a
supply artifically reduced or withheld
from the market by manipulation
When competition fails the recourse to
regulation becomes unavoidable.

all they are worth as price raisers.
1t seems altogether probable that
the crop shortage is overestimated.
That often is the case. If the impress
sion of a serious shortage can be main
tanned until the last of June, when
wheat is in the shock in part of the
producing area. the wheat now in bins
and the flour in the mills and in the
hands of jobbers and grocers can be
marketed at prices ruinous to the con-
sumner The surprising discovery that
there is a much larger crop than had
been forecast would be highly servic-
cable to the buyers in their annual eff
tort TO put the price of wheat down at
harvest time and get the crop out of
the weak hands of financially ill-pre-
pared farmers and into the strong
hands of interests able to hold its I'M
til next May. Again, the farmer would
sell wheat low and the consumer would
buy it high.
1t would surprise the public greatly
if the farmers should sell their wheat
during the summer of 1917 at prices
anything like the present quotations.
1t would not surprise anybody if specu-
lators, uncontrolled. should shoot the
price of the 1917 crop to S. between
July 1917, and May, 1918.

MAY DESTROY JERUSALEM.

How much wanton desuuctiveness
the Turks are capable of is uncertain.
but it can hardly exceed that Of their
German allies Fears are expressed
that as the British approach the city
the Turks will destroy Jerusalem.
There have been predictions that they
would blow up st. Sophia if compelled
to evacuate Constantinople.
Neither would be markedly worse
than the penchant of the Germans for
Smelling cathedrals, and not even the
Huns whom the Kaiser held up to
German soldiers going to China as the
models on which they should shape
their conduct could Guido the wanton
destructiveness of the Germans in the
section of France from which they
have effected a Strategic retreat"
The rumored destruction of Jerusa-
lem is reported by way Of Rome to
be a measure ito which the Turks
have gained the consent of Germany"
But the Mosque of Omar in Jerusa-
lem is the most sacred spot left to
the Turks since the Arabs captured
Mecca and Medina and while the com
mander at Adrianople announced that
he would destroy every private and
public building in the city before he
would surrender it to the Bulgarians,
he did nothing of the sort.

HOW GRAIN PRICES ARE MANIPU.
LATED,

Dollar wheat when practically all
grain farmers have wheat to sell; s.
wheat, perhaps, after all or nearly all
the wheat has passed out of the hands
of the farms and has not yet reach
ed the consumers. These are deduc
tons made by the Louisville Courier
Journal in commenting on the recent
statement made by the food expert
Herbert c. Hoover on the prices OF
flour. Mr.. Hoover says: American
farmers did not get more than aver
age Of S1.30 for wheat last year; that
the crop has not been consumed and
viii last until the next crop is har-
vested; that Government control is
necessary to prevent $50 flour between
now and July, as a repition of mod
crate prices for wheat at the mill and
exhorbitant prices for flour at the
grocery store. Mr. Hoover's state
ment will be convincing to those who
have observed the regularity with
which buyers Of wheat get the price
down at harvest time, acquire the
wheat and get the price up after the
grain has left the farm.
In 1914 many American farmers
counted upo nselling 81 wheat in 19n5
Their hopes were disappointed, but
wheat climbed high during the autumn
of 1915 and remained nigh until the
approach of the next harvest. As the
harvest came in sight the trick of the
spectators was repeated and again
the American farmer sold wheat at
and around 81 in the summer Of 1915.
The buyers got the crop in their hands
only an occasional Well-to-do farmer
holding his crop for high prices-and
up kited the prices. AS long as there
were farmers holding wheat The price
did not become spectacular. The oc-
casional farmer who stored his wheat
lelt that he had made a killing when
ne left it go at S. Wheat has since
gone to SO. Mr.. Hoover predicts that

tween now and July 10. IN meantime

the brain flags, and the memory fails.
Therefore if you wish to preserve
your youthful vim, vigor and vitality,
to a ripe old age, You must supply
the deficiency of Phosphates lacking
in your food by using Argo-Phosphate,
the form of Phosphates most easily as
simulated.
NOTICE: Argo-Phosphate which
is recommended and prescribed by
physicians in all enemic cases, is not
a secret or patent medicine but one
that is sold and recommended by well
known druggists everywhere, and ply
sicians are daily subscribing the con
stituents contained in it. Being en-
tirely unlike many other Phosphates,
ii IS easily assimiIated and will be
found effective in the treatment OF in
digestion and stomach troubles, as
well as for care worn, nervous condi-
tions. The manufacturers of Argo-
Phosphate will forfeit to any charita-
BILE institution $4,000 if they cannot
treat any man or woman under So
who lacks Phosphates, and increase
their strength and endurance from
100 per cent to 300 per cent or more
in one months time, if they are free
from organic trouble. 1t is dispensed
by all reliable druggists.
If your druggist will not supply you,
send $100 to the Argo Laboratories

Mozart and Hayden, both of whom
