II IS c,ea1Iy pointed cut that as the
result Of this situation the norm@,
p,:cc-maHing machinery is entirely
broken down unless some efIic:e:..
government action is brought inso
clay. These points are made:
First, the american producer may
face a slump in wheat, possibly below
his production cost.
Second, the export price OF wheat
which ultimately determines the real
price is at the will os single angency.
Third, some one must buy the sur
plus wheat at any given moment ana
if the surplus passes into speculative
hands it will be held for higher prices
later in the year.
Fourth, with stabilized prices, ex-
ira hazards are introduced into all
distribution links which must be paid
for by the consumer. 1t must be
evident that the United States gov
ernment can more justly deal with the
situation than any OF the agencies
mentioned.
Therefore, the food administration
has determined to take the following
course:
No Speculation
"In order to eliminate speculation
in wheat and -four, all elevators and
mills over 100 barrels daily capacity
will be required to take out govern
ment license and the conditions of this
license must be:
"TEat only reasonable and cusIo-
mary charges shall be made for ware

stored for more than thirty days with
out the approval of the food admin
:st:ation; that certain information as
to receints and shipments shall be
supplied regularly. Grain exchanges
are being asked to suspend all deal
ings and quotations in future wheat
These regulations will come into force
September 1, and the licenses will be
prepared this week. While farmer
cooperative elevators are expected by
the food bill, this however only ap-
plies to mutual concerns and not to
stock companies and in any event un-
der the advantages of joining the piaa,
none are likely to stand out.
"In substitution of the broken-down
marketing machinery the food admin
istration proposes to open agencies for
the purchase of all wheat at the prfn-
cipal TERMINALS, carrying on its trans
actions with the usual dealers and is
prepared to take the whole harvest if
necessary in order to maintain fair
price. It will resell wheat for ex-
port in such quantities as we can
afford to part with in protection OF
our own people on one hand and to
sell on the other to the millers for
domestic consumption. The admins
tration will make no charges except
normal percentage to cover costs
of operation and arrangements will be
made which will assure the govern
ment against loss.
"In order thai nothing Shall be
left to mischarge we are setting up a
properly constituted and independent
auditing committee which will cheek
all transactions at every point.
Fair Prices For Wheat

these arrangements would have 4

Regulations Are Effective Sep
tember

Washington. Aug. 12.-HecDert {.
Hoover, the food administrator, an
nounced today the plans for the con-
troll of wheat, flour and bread.
They are specific and comprehensive
They have been worked out fully IN
view of the disrupting and disturbing
conditions of the European war and
the part this country still has to play.
They provide:
First, for the vigorous prosecution
of all persons who hold more Wheat
or flour than is required in their nor
NAL business.
Second. for the maintenance OF
fair price throughout the country, ny
seizing, if necessary, the entire 1917
harvest and determining the cost to
the consumer
Third. for food administration agen-
cies at the principal wheat terminals
throughout the couitry.
Fourth, for the restriction OF stor-
age to 80 days, unless special perm"
is given by the food administration.
Fifth, for the elimination of specula
ton by compelling all mills and eie-
yators with more than 100 barrels
daily capacity to take out a govern
lnent license.
The regulations will go into effect
Oh September 1.
Mr.. Hoover believes that, by rigid
application of the regulations the
price of wheat can be, estaollshsa
throughout the year. With the price
of wheat stabilized it is believed tnat
the price viii conform and thus staol-
lized price of bread will be maintained
In announcing his plans, Mr.. Hoover
says:
Markets Disrupted
The disturbance of the worlds coG-
merce and short supply has caused
greater disruption Of the normal mar
kets for wheat than any other cereal

"In order to control speculatfons
and to secure more equitable distripu-
ton of the available wheat and -four
between their countries, he announces,
the allied government has placd the
whole purchase of their supplies IN
the hands of one buyer. Also the E'l-
ropean neutrals are now buying their
wheat through single government
agents instead of in the normal course
of commerce. Therefore, the export

Jackson Co. Boy
Making Reputation

That Jackson county boys are max

the Oregon troops recently sent to the
east:

of Greater New York saloonmen who
sell fire-water to soldiers.
"The lieutenant's name was print
ed in big type on the front pages of
Gotham dailies after he shot the
Brooklyn barkeeper on the night of
November 1. But a Brooklyn paper
called him Trim, which is very good,
while a Yonkers journal called him
Lieutenant Brim. To this the Jack
son county man objected.
"But Charley had an adventure the
other night that he did not tell to
the New York reporters. 1t might |
have been big story; in that event
the grandson of one of Oregons most
famous pioneer jurists would not
have been around to tell the tale. A |
few days after he had wounded the
Brooklyn saloonmen, Lieutenant
Prim received letter purporting to
be from friend of the soldiers, and
telling him that if he would visit a
certain dive bar at a certain hour

Loves Labor Lost.

F.. Lemerle, Il mariner. left his home
In France for America, where he hoped
to earn enough money to support his
wife and children in better style than
at home. After sailing around the
Horn to Portland, Ore, he could get
no better job than washing dishes in
a hospital. He made $50 a month, and
sent SIG of it back to France. Out of
the remaining "a he set aside regular
sums to pay for his family's passage
to this country, and for their home.
One day he cut his wrist while at
work, and blood poisoning cost him
the use of his right hand. But he
kept at his dishwashing, and did odd
jobs outside of the hospital. At last
he had saved enough to furnish a little
home, and he sent word to his wife
by a friend who went to visit his ma
tive village in France. The friend
wrote back that she had told him 81

PAVING for the War.

Christopher Turnor, an English econ
omlst, writing in the London Chron-
icle of recent date, says the agrlcul-
tural of Britain can be so
developed as to practically pay the
cost of the present war. Turnor notes
that in normal times the 100000
people of Britain yearly eXpend 3d.
000,000,000 for food supplies, of which
amount only half is produced at home,
the balance consisting of im%portations.
Meanwhile more than 100000 acres
of arabic British land is unproductive
of food supplies and thousands of pos
sible land workers are crowded into
cities, insufficiently employed and fed.
Only a few British farms produce the
maximum of possibility, owing to tax
methods of cultivation. TurnOr argues
for some form of agricultural %
g~anization and estimates that produc-
ton can be far more than doubled,
making it possible to realize 100000
100000 from this source to be applied
to the wal debt.

The development Of two historic
caves, known as Arch cave and Bone
cave in Van Buren, county, Tennessee,
is now under way. The v are esti-
mated to contain from 10000 to 75,-
900 tons of bat guano, which is rich
in potash and ammonia, besides other
elements of plant food. The under
ground area is about six miles. Mil
lions of bats inhabited these caves for
centuries prior to the Civil war, when
they were driven out by the manufac-
turers of powder. 1t is told that when
Cen. John II. Morgan's detachment
which raided Nashville during the
Civil war became separated and was
hard pressed by superior federal forces
they concealed themselves in the Arch
cave for several days.

Bucharest in Wartime.

You pop out of bed like a jack-ln-a-
box, throw on an overcoat, try to lace
up shoes without turning on the light,
and with people scurrying along the
hallway and shrapnel banging over
head, it is quite easy to believe that
the Zeppelin is by now sailing square
ly over the hotel. If 1t is only an air
plane, the bomb will probably go
through the roof, explode on the at
tic floor, blow that and the floor below
pretty well to pieces, and perhaps send
only a few fragments through the
next-with a couple of stories over
head, you are probably all right. With
a Zeppelin, on the other hand, and 500
pounds of high explosives falling for a
mile or two, anything may happen

Some Climate.

That corner of Asia where the Turks
have been fighting the Russians and
the British comprises within a short
distance the most extraordinary
changes of temperature. The Russians
stormed Erzerum with the thermome-
ter recording "a degrees of frost; bare
ly 500 miles south the base of the Brit
ish MesopOtamia force on the Persian
gulf was situated, where $50 degrees
in the shade has been registered on
British warships. The interior of the
peninsula between the Persian gulf
and the Red sea is one Of the few re-
giOns of the earth which remain terra
incognita, the terrific heat experienced
there keeping the most intrepid eXplOr-
er outside its 100000 square miles.
The severity of the winter in the neigh
borhood of Erzerum results from
it's situation on an elevated plateau,
which is at an average height of
5000 feet above sea level, and
this makes all the difference be-
tween its climate and that of the
south of Italy, which is in the same
latitude. The French Riviera is $50
miles nearer the Arctic than Erzerum,
and the Cornish Riviera" at least 700
miles nearer the icy north, but Corn
wall gets the full benefit of the Gulf
stream, that marvellous hot water sys-
TEN of the North Atlantic which saves
western Europe from the frigid tenn
peratures of central Asia and Labra-
dor, on the same parallels of latitude.
