CHAPTER v.

Boroday had used his days freedom
TO warn the band and to make plans
for regalning his freedom. OF money
he had none. What he had made under
old Hilary's leadership had gone back
TO Russia, dollar for dollar. He had
financed part of the Klev defense Of
the Jews, had saved Prince Ovarsky
from Siberia. There we're other things,
Money would save BorOday. And
there was practically no money.
BY unanimous consent they kept the
news of his arrest from ElinOr.
1t was Talbot who planned the coun.
try club coup. The Russian was In jail
then, on a trumped-up charge. Old
Hilary dead and BOrOday in Jail-there
was no one to advise caution.
"Boroday Ill" ElInor exclaimed
They were accounting for his absence
from her Satnrday-nlght dinner. "Why
then he should be here, where he car
be cared for"
1--WE told him that" Lethbrldge was

Ward was charmed. He had a quick

window and dropping her quaint sweet
williams and m~arguerites, m%ignOnette
and garden roses, down to the children,
She led the way TO the terrace, where

to a dance or dinner at the country
club, and taking him back the Same
way.

PRICE OF WHEAT WILL
STAY AT 1920 MARK
This Statement Is Made BY
Food Controller Herbert
c. Hoover
From Mondays Daily.


Washington, September 10.-The
price OF 1920 4 bushel for wheat
fixed by President Wilson will be
maintained it was made clear today
at the Food Administration, despite
isolated protests from farming inter-
ests that the figure is too low.
Virtually the only objection of any
consequence, it was said. has arisen
in North Dakota, where the crop was
unusually poor.
North Dakota farmers are demand
ing So bushel for their wheat and
are asking for the removal of the
food administrations regulations de-
signed to prevent speculation. They
particularly object to restrictions
against elevators storing grain for
more than thirty days. Il
DR.. R. A. Pearson, assistant to the
secretary of agri, allure, is just back
from a trip throughout the west
with a report that he found the
wheat price generally acceptable ex-
cept in communities where crops
were far below normal.
The result of the price fixed, food
administration officials say, is that
the farmer will receive about SO per
cent more a bushel than last year.
On the other hand, through ar
rangements made for the elimination
of speculation and to control dis
tribution, the consumer should, they
contend, obtain saving of at least
So barrel on flour, or 20 per cent
under the average of the past four
months.
Herbert Hoover, the food admins
traitor, foresees some actual suffering
among farmers in North Dakota and
in localities in other. states whatever
the price. --
The wheat failure in some districts,
he said today, means that some
growers will lose money.
Where Is Hoover? .-.x
In the senate Saturday, Senator
Sherman of Illinois, calling attention
particularly to 60-cent eggs, declared
bread prices had not decreased and
that the food administration admits
prices cannot be reduced.
where is Hoover?" he demanded.
LET him get after the recalcitrant
hens .....
"Mr. Hoover has reduced the price
of wheat to the farmers 33B per cent"
