Spring Wheat Delivered at Chicago
Board Comes to Agreement
by Compromise After Long
Deadlock.

$3.50 bushel has been fixed for the
1917 crop of wheat by President VIII
| son last night on the recommendation
of the wheat price committee headed
by DR.. H. A. Garfield. The basis will
cred at Chicago.
The committee finally agreed after
several days of voting. At one time
1t looked as if it would be unable to
come to a conclusion, but cOmpro-
mise was reached and the last vote
was unanimous.
Representatives Of the producers be-
gan by voting for price of $3.50 and
labor's representatives for $1.84. The
two extremes eventually narrowed
down until the votes were only a few
cents apart and most of the voting
showed only slight difference. Both
factions appeared incorporating at
the start.
DifferentiaIs Announced.
On the basis Of $3.50 at Chicago the
food administration worked out differ
entails for the various grades and
classes and for the several terminals.
In a statement accompanying the
announcement of the price, President
Wilson declares it is the hope Of the
food administration, and his own as
we'll, that the fixing of price will sta
bilize the market and keep prices with
Ia moderate bounds for all transactions
during the current year.
Prices to Be Kept Down.
The prices of flour and bread, too,
the President declares, will be kept
down.
The committee in it's report to the
President gave as its three chief con-
alterations that entered into it's DELHI.
erations the following: .. ..
The fact that the United States is
1T war, the need of encouraging the
producer and the necessity of reducing
the cost of living to the consumer.
All members agreed in their discus
sions that the price fixed will permit
of a 14-ounce loaf of bread for cents,
allowing fair profit both to the flour
manufacturers and the baker.
Price DifferentaIs.

by the food administration are:
No. 1 dark hard winter, 1924.

FRANKFORT PAPER PRAISES
PARIS Y. M. C. A. HOME.

Frankfort is engaged in cam
paign to raise $4,000 for remodeling
the present Y. M. c. A. building in
that city, The Sunday edition of the
State Journal, published in Frank
fort, published handsome half-tone
cut of the Bourbon County Y. M. c.
A. building, with the following COM
ment:
Paris has the newest Y. M. c.
A. building in Kentucky. It was
completed two years ago at cost OF
$4,000. 1t has the same number Of
dormitory rooms as the Frankfort
building. The gymnasium is smaller,
but the swimming pool is little
more modern. This building cost
more than the committee anticipated,
and was, therefore, left with a debt.
This spring the friends put on cam
Fpaign to raise this Indebtedness and
provided for the current years sup
port, the sum required amounting to
$4,000. The, workers raised IL
800 in a weeks time for this purpose.
The Paris building has about the
same revenue producing power as
the Frankfort building. Frankfort
now has an opportunity to secure as
fine a building as Paris has, for much
less than half of what Paris paid:
Surely the Capital City has enough
civic enterprises to take advantage
of this opportunity"
