Finder of $500 Diamond Ring Places
IT With Owner


1t With Owner.
Of course it is regretted when one
loses a $500 diamond ring. But then,
the conditions are not so much the
worse, when it is recovered again.
Mrs. Frame, visitor in the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. C. Townes, near Phil
ipp, while shopping in the city Fri
day, had the misfortune to lose here
beautiful diamond and sapphire ring.
The ring was found by Mrs. K. H.
Clover Saturday, who inserted an ad-
vertisement in The Daily Common
wealth, leaving the press at o'clock
Saturday afternoon. At 8 o'clock the
same night-four hours after the pa
per had come from the press-the
owner Of the ring and the finder were
in communication and the ring had
been been identified.
That's another little chapter to the
daily want ad service rendered by the
classified column of Mississippi's Liv-
est Little Big Newspaper.

The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1917-10-18

for No. wheat of the different
varieties. This price was determined
by committee of twelve selected by
the president, the membership of the
committee being composed of two
prominent economists, two represen-
tatives of organized labor, two repre-
sentatives of big business, two presi-
dents of state agricultural colleges,
three representatives of organized
agriculture and one individual farm
er. There were on the committee
four men actually engaged in farm
ing.
The price of 1920 for No. 1 wheat
at Chicago is a fixed price for the
1917 crop and will not be changed be-
fore July 1, 1918. The government
will buy all wheat offered at that
price, provided there are no other
buyers who will pay that much, but
will not permit any buyer to pay
more. So that, although the govern
ment may not buy all of the wheat
yet this price is fixed price that will
be paid by all buyers and which will
be made neither more nor less.
In the legislation establishing food
control the Congress placed a mini
mum guaranteed price on the 1918
wheat crop. This minimum, below
which the price can not go, is $500,
but is based on "the principal in
! terror markets" and not on Chicago
alone which means that the price can
not be below $500 at any one of those
principal primary markets." such as
|! Minneapolis, Omaha, Kansas City,
etc.
The price of $500 is only a mini
mum guarantee. 1t will become eff
fective July 1, 1918, and continue in
effect until May 1, 1919. It will not
be changed or withdrawn. 1t is not a
rule of the Food Administration, but
an act of Congress. No matter how
large the crop raised next year may
be, if there are not other buyers for
the wheat who will offer $500 the
government must take it at that
price. On the other hand if costs of
production increase or there is a
light yield, or if for any other reason
the costs of production are unduly
high or the demand is very urgent,
the price may be above $500 as it is
now.
The present price of $500 is fixed
price that will not be changed in any
way until July 1, 1918. The $500
price for next year is only minimum.
The actual price for next year can not
be less than that but it may be $500
or more.

churchvard Yew Trees.

One reason given why very old yew
trees are so often found in country
churchyards is that originally these
trees were planted to supply the peas
ants with wood for their bows, for in
lawless times it was soon discovered
that the only place where trees would
be safe from nightly marauders was
the churchyard, where the most hard
ened thief dared not venture between
darkness and dawn.-LOndOn Mail.
