PRICE FIXED FOR WHEAT
WILL NOT Be CHANGED
Isolated Protests Come From Farm
ing Interests That Figure
Is Too Low.
DAKOTA FARMERS ASK MORE
Hoover Declares Plan Is Running
Smoothly, Except for Expected Lo-
cal MISUNDERSTANDING - Foresees
Suffering in Some States.
tpy Associated Press.I


WASHINGTON. September S.-The
price of $500 bushel for wheat, nxed
by President Wilson. will be main
tanned 1t was made clear to-day at the
food administration. despite isolated
protests from farming interests that tho
figure Is too low. Virtually. the only
objection Of any consequence. II was
said, has arisen in North Dakota, where
the crop was unusually poor.
North Dakota farmers are dema ndine
SO bushel for their wheat and are
asking for removal OF the food admin
fstration's regulations designed to pre-
vent speculation. They particularly OBJ
ject to restrictions against elevators"
storing grain more than thirty days.
The result of the price fixed. food
administration officials say. Is that tho
farmer will receive about 33 per cent
more bushel than last year. On the
other hand. through arrangements
made for the elimination OF speculation
and to control distribution. the con-
sumner should. they contend. obtain a
saving Of at least SO a barrel on flour.
OF 20 per cent under the average OF the
last four months.
Herbert Hoover, tho food adminIstra-
tor, foresees some actual suffering
among farmers In North Dakota and in
localities IN other States, whatever the
price. The wheat failure in some dis
tricts. he said to-day. means that some
growers will lose money.
1.-THE plan generally" he said, els rum
ming smoothly. except for the necessa-
rily expected local Misunderstanding,
and the food administration will not
depart one iota from the prices deter
mined on by tho President for govern
ment purchases, either now or through
out the year.
THE arrangements made by the rail-
roads permit their handling wheat
more rapidly this year than last"
J. W. Sullivan. who represented the
American Federation Of Labor on the
wheat price-f1ing committee. said to-
day that II the price Of wheat came up
again for review, labor would demand
a lower figure.

coming very serious. and the food ad-
ministration Is resorting to all means

GUS has this problem become that the

IN helping to carry out successfully
their purpose.
William T. Dabney. business mana
ser OF the Chamber OF Commerce OF
this city, Is in receipt OF telegram
from the acting campaign director.
calling upon him to render the admin
istration six to eight weeks service at

was compelled to refuse the request,
because his services are reserved for
the second Liberty Loan Campaign,
Flo states that he would be glad to as
sist tho food administration, but that
his services belong to the second Lib

served In the capacity OF campaign
manager in the last Issue of Liberty

these bonds as great a problem for
the successful conclusion Of the war

About October 1, Open to
Every Pupil.


The city schools OF Richmond will
formally open Thursday. September 10.
which gives the pupils sufficient time to
take entrance examinations. when nee
essary. and everybody get right" as
the colored brethren are wont to say
in earnest. The meeting of all the
teachers is called for 10 o'clock We'd
nesday morning at John Marshall
High School. and will be presided over
By DIR. Chandler.
The City School Board. after a thor
ough investigation, has decided to in
auguTate In all city schools a system
OF school banking.
Each pupil Will DO invited to partici-
pate In the movement, and those join
ing the thrift clubs organized in each
school VIII make deposits ranging from
a penny up on Monday OF each week
Representative banks OF the city will
be selected as repositories for the
funds, and each child will be furnished
bank book bearing his,name and tho
name OF the bank in which his savings
arc deposited.
Such plan is being worked SUCCESS
fully In number Of the larger cities
Of the country. and it Is felt that every
child opening savings account and
drawing interest on the same will re-
ceivc valuable lessons in thrift. The
plan has been adopted by the School
Board for the sake OF it's educative
effects upon the coming citizens of Rich
mond. IT Is hoped that tho patrons OF
the schools will encourage their chill
drcn to make small weekly deposits and
thus ingram into the little ones de-
sire to have A bank account and to
save the pennies that are now. for the
most part. being unwisely spent.
Every school in the city will be in
cluded In this savings system. and the
plan will be put into operation about
October 1. 1t is expected that at least
one-half Of the $4,000 public school
children will soon have interest-bear-
Ing savings accounts running In the ag-
gregate into the thousands Of dollars.
The following banks have decided to
cooperate with tho School Board In
tho effort to promote thrift among the
school children, and will be deposito-
ries for the funds deposited in the va
rious schools Of the city: First National
