Congressman John r. X. Scott said today
that IL is the duty Of the city to give the
. people the full benefit OF the ive-cent gas
J., 1918, under the terms Of the contract be-
tween the city and the United Gas I'm.
proyement Company,
There should be no argument about this
thing said Mr.. Scott The nickel he.
longs to the people, and it should 60 where
4 belongs.
when think OF the sacrifices the peo.
this great war. 1t makes me want to do
al in my power to make everything as easy
for the people as possible.
1.-The Government has seen the hand
writing on the wall. and from a national
standpoint has made arrangements TO see
mat extortion Is not practced In the mat
ter Of prices Our municipalities should
draw lessons from this and leave no stone
unturned to tighten the load OF the people.
ITO put that nickel in the treasury at
this time would be an act of gross selfish
ness on the part Of the city We are in a
time of war, and in wartime the poor
suffer. Let us not overlook the needs of
the poor in this crisis. | am certain that
Councils will zee the Importance of giving
this nickel to the people and vote accord.
ingly There is no logical reason why gas
consumers in Philadelphia should be taxed
Such an unjust system does not prevail in
any other city,
John j Conroy Select Councilman from
the Twenty-ifth Ward, said: This is a
matter that should be examined very caro-
fully. Experts should get together and view
the question from every possible standpoint
"A thorough study should be made of the
at ttxyfS 6rar 30
o position to turn the nickel over to the
public.
If investigation shows that the five cents
can be given to the public without endan-
gering the finances of the city then I am
strongly In favor of ninety.five-cent gas"

CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO. April 1S.- Upturns in wheat values today resulted from ex port interests buying nearly 5000, ,OOO bushels May delivery and also pur- chasing liberally Of the July option On the advance May showed at one time a bulge of 13 cents over the low est level of the session. The close was unsettled at 232ll to 1s for May and 197A to q for July. with the market as a whole to S1a above yes terday's finish. Other leading staples too, all scored net gains-corn 17s to 32i, oats F to IL at IFS and provis- ions 20 to 62 cents.
 One Of the chief influences which al first gave wheat prices a tempora- " setback was an enlarged estimate Of the stock on hand in Canada. It was said the aggregate was 116.0Oo.- 900 bushels as against recent compu- tations of 740OO.OOO bushels.
 Corn paralleled the action of wheat and 2scended very close to the high est figures on the crop. The volume of trade was rather light In oats brisk demand from cash houses and thet sDfboard made a strong market almost from the beginning.
 Ry0Yisions rallied when grain turn ed decisively upward. In the earlier dealings the market was depressed by the weakness of hog values.

HANDICAP FACED BY FARMERS IN GROWING

Dry Weather In Many States Interferes With Effort To Respond To Wilson's Ap- peal For Bigger Crops.

WASHINGTON. April 1S-American farmers are starting under handicap in their efforts to carry out President Wilson's appeal for inceased produc- ton of food stufs
 Almost everywhere throughout the country during the last week temper atures were unfavorable and the saa- son is generally backward, accrdug to the weekly review of rile N1i asi Weather and Crop Bulletin If .ae weather bureau. Pastures and ranges started slowly due to dry weather and o,er the upper Rockies snow s-il TO mains over large areas.

 Decided improvement vas reported in the condition Of winter whe5- l. Kansas and Oklahoma and small but steady improvement in :be crop in the Ohio valley and in most other east central districts. Not much improve ment was shown in Nebraska and there was but little improvement ih Illinois
 The crop is in good condition in the central and upper Rocky Mountain re- zion, but made little progress on the Pacific Coast because of deficient warmth and sunshine Winter rye, which promises a record crop, was gen orally improved.
 Shortage in the winter wheat crop fully as great as preliminary reports have forcasted and little increase this year in the yield of potatoes are re ported from every part of the coun- try The reports were made public today as a part of the boards program to encourage farmers 0 plant all the acreage possible of cultivation.
 Three important facts affecting the crop and food situation stand out in the reports received from the pres idents of the twelve land banks" the boards statement reads. These facts are stated as follows:
 The winter wheat crop will be short to quite as great extent as prelimin- arv rerorts have shown.
 "The shortage of labor and the high price of seed will prevent material increase in the potato acreage. com mercially grown. but the increased plantines in small plots for home con- sumption will be net gain.
 There is in all parts of the United States an organized movement on the part of the communities. state govern- ments, agriculture colleges and civic bodies to help the farmer meet the food crisis. in many sections this movement tating the form of provid- ing the farmer with additional lahor and seasonal loans at low interest"
 Reports from presidents of the vari- ous land banks are detailed. Ky dis tricts they state:
