cation of the fire, the men with the
fire apparatus went out OF their way
a block or two and in trying to cor
rect the mistake they were inter
fered with by a large number Of autos
rushing hither and thither, hunting
for the fire, very much to the incon-
v%enience of the fremen. If the fire
had been a large II it might have
been quite disastrous on account OF
the auto blockade on the streets. The
hremcn ought to have the right of
way and the auto should wait
till the companies have a chance to
get 10 the location of the fire before
they begin the mad rush to be first

more accidents do not happen on this
account.

WHEAT PRICE

Now that a price has been decided
upon by the food commission. it would
seem as if We might admit that while
the outcome is not altogether ideal
for the farmer of the northwest, yet
we recognize hat the price fixed is a
compromise between the producers
and the consumers And in the con
Stunning class at this conference which
fixed the price, the labor representa-
tives were the mes who stood for II
low price. The farmer is a laborer
and wanted a higher price. The 9TH
err laborer, in other lines, was the one
who wanted a low price. Some farm
ers wanted a price that would be all
that the traffic would stand. Some
er laborer in other lines, was the one
low that there would be no traffic.
and the price fixed is the result.
The Sioux Falls Press made some
remarks on the subject, and the fol
lowing extract seems to be a very
comprehensive summing up of the sit
uation as it stands:
THE objector who contends that
the minimum should have been So or
more should be able to compose his
mind by reflection hat it is his duty
in war time to content himself with
something less than the most the traf-
fc will bear. The patriotic doctrine
which holds that during war all in
dustries should give up all thought
of extraordinary profits applies not TO
one but to all. Indeed, there are in
dustries that will have to content
themselves with less than a reason
able profit. because Of circumstances
quite beyond their own or any other
control. Condemnation has beer Wig
orous, and certainly just, of the prof
iteers who have, by exacting all the
traffic will bear in abnormal times,
lldu tcu wal Tic fuSti uliltnt vi wi
r%ageously unfair profit making for
themselves. These the government
proposes to restrain, and a good start
has been made to that end.
If the 1920 price should return to
the farmer less than a reasonable
profit on his seasons labor 1t will
have failed one Of the governments
objects. If it brings the farmer an
unreasonable profit, which Is a not
likely possibility. it will also have
failed. Conditions In the immediate
future Will indicate how well advised
this figure is. or how short it may
come Of the proper thing. If it works
serious wrong either way 1t can, and
We have no doubt will, be adjusted.
But in the meantime the Spectator
and useless middleman is in a bad
way. He will now have to go to work
and earn his living. Sympathy for
him in his distress is distinctly not
a universal sentiment in this very
much overlooked naton."

Then in the due course OF events,
business in that town suffers a decline
and the nan who spent his money
away from home is out Of a job. Can
he get a new one just as good, where

about him and his family? We guess
that you all know the answer. 10y

LOYALTY BEGINS AT HOME

There are people who can never get
1t through their head, that whatever
Injuries any legitimate business in a
community reflects injury upon the
people Of that community. If home
people are to be successful themselves
they must stand by the home indus
tries. It often happens that a bust.
ness which might be or incalculable
benefit to a community is hampered
or ruined through jealousy. Some
people are SO constituted that they
fairly hate to see a fellow townsman
prosper, while they seem to be per-
fectly willing to bite on any scheme
presented by a stranger and have him
walk OF with the profits. Any per-
son who earns his money in a town
and then spends It somewhere else,
may expect in a very short time to
and others initiating his example.

PRICE or WHEAT FIXED

Last Thursday evening the prices Of
wheat were axcd by the committee
beaded by Or. II. A.. Garfield. All
government purchases will be made
on that basis. the president having
approved OF the work of the commit
tee.
The price fixed Thursday is 20 cents
higher than that named for the 1918
crop by congress in the food control
bill. The So price set by congress
was taken into consideration by the
committee in considering a fair valua-
ton of this years crop.
In a statement accompanying the
announcement Of the price, President
Wilson declares it is the hope of the
food administration, and his own as
well, that the fixing of a price will
stabilize the market and keep prices
within moderate bounds for all trans
actions during the current year.
The prices of flour and bread, too.
the president declares, will be kept
down.
The committee in its report to the
president gave as its three chief CON
siderations that entered into its de
alterations the following:
The fact that the United States is
at war, the need of encouraging the
producer and the necessity of reduc-
ing the cost Of living to the consum-
er.
All members agreed in their discus
sions that the price fixed will permit
of a 1%4-ounce loaf of bread for 5 cents,
allowing a fair profit both to the flour
manufacturer and the baker.
Although the prices are fixed on
government purchases only. the food
administration through its wheat cor
poration recently organized expects to
control the market without difficulty.
The corporation will make all Allied
and government purchases, and has
under consideration plans to buy for
millers. If it serves as broker be-
tween the terminal and the -four mills
the corporation will become purchas-
er of virtually all of the county's
wheat crop.
The following are prices adopted,
with the difference in price in grade
and at the different markets:

Safeguards in Buildings.

From the Countryside Magazine
The man who intends to build VIII
not take heed of the man who mas had
an unfortunate experience IN building,
because he feels that he is shrewd
enough to look after his own interests
and safeguard his own rights, notwith-
standing the fact that he is engaging
for the time being III Il business en-
terprise that is totally foreign to him.
If he sets out to buy five-cent loaf
of bread he gets a loaf Of bread for D
cents II he sets out to build resi-
dence for $4,000 there. are no good
reasons why he should not be able TO
do il for that amount. He should def
nitely know two things: first, exactly
what he is going to get for the price
he expects to pay. and, second. the out
side limit of cost for the completed
structure. To demand these safeguards
is perfectly fair and natural. for IN
every phase of business today, except
huiliinv. one knows just what the cost
of any specified piece of work will be.

behind the dunes are well garrisoned,
and an excellent system Of roads run
ming parallel with the coast enabled
the Dutch government to transport ar
tillery and infantry to any threatened
spot within less than an hour. Tor
