ABOUT WHEATPRIcES

When mention is made Of present wheat prices one
would be justified in declaring: There amt no SIGH crit
ter" The present price Of wheat is whatever the pro-
Queer can get, and whatever the buyer thinks he dare
pay. Ever since the price jumped to dizzy heights soon
after the opening of the war there has been a widespread
difference between the price at the terminals and the price
at local receiving points. for the very obvious reason
that when prices were Jumping up and down in the most
cratic manner, no man felt safe in buying except on a
wide margin. Under normal conditions there is a differ
ence between the Minneapolis cash market and that at
Grand Forks and similar points Of about II cents a
bushel. This covers freight and handling. But under
conditions when prices changed ten cents at a clip, and
when the price might change in a few days enough to
cover the total price of wheat in ordinary times, the man
who did not wish to face bankruptcy demanded a margin
at least sufficient to cover the probable or possible
changes Of the next few days. Hence we have seen a
spread between local and terminal prices running up into
big figures.
Now this condition is intensified by the closing OF
the exchanges, the discontinuance of all trading in fu-
lures, and the announcement that the price is shortly
TO be fixed by the government. This last is a feature
which is causing more uncertainty than anything else.
wheat which, a few days later the government may de-
clare to be worth but two dollars.
In consequence Of this there has been In MANY To-
calities a total suspension of local buying. In other
cases mills are buying from day to day Just what they
Will need for their immediate use. In some cases ele-
vators are taking a chance and buying some wheat, but
at prices away below those which would be paid were
there no possibility Of government action. Here and
there local Quotations" are made on the basis Of Mime
apolis prices with freight and handling charges OF. but
these quotations are meaningless and worthless, because
the local elevators are not buying. The farmer who
Is misled by these paper prices finds on investigation that

receives the drainage Of human habi-
tations or a place where the water is
drawn from a shallow well or a well
that is apt to receive the drainage of
out-houses.
One Of the things which is desired
by city folk in the country is milk.
And milk which is produced by dirty
cows in a dirty stable and handled by
dirty hands is unfit for human con
sumption. The best advertisement any

cows are MIXED by clean laborers.

EFFICIENT DEMOCRACY

It is a libel on the human race to say that democracy
IL inefficient. Democracy, in its current manifestations,
is often negligent and careless, and when it is it Is in
efacient- But democracy can act with certainty and pre-
cision, as is shown pretty conclusively by the events Of
this war.
For forty-odd years we have been referred to Ger
many as an illustration of the ultimate In efficiency,
and the lesson that has been drawn is that when we
want efficiency we must do as Germany has done, and
submit to the will of an autocrat. But what are the
facts?
For forty years the energy of a great nation was
directed with all the skill Of science to the creation Of
a great fighting machine. That machine was as near
perfect as the ingenuity of man could produce. Yet,
in three years, with not a 1.-THE of the previous prepare
ton that Germany had given to her army. France has
put in the field a fighting machine that is in every way
the equal Of Germany'a And in the same time Great
Britain. with practically no preliminary preparation
whatever. has placed in the field great armies which.
nations have not only marshaled their fighting strength
in the field. They have organized their human power
and their natural resources at home, and they have
created military machines which work smoothly and ex-
actly, and with which they are able, whenever they
make the attempt, to drive the Germans out of their
trenches or kill them in their trenches.
The thing that prevents the allies from marching
is not the present superiority of the German fighting
machine. but the advantage Of the German interior po-
sition, added to the fact that the advantage which the
Germans possessed in the matter of time enabled them
to dig themselves into holes in the earth from which 1t
takes time to blast them out. But let those who gloat
over what they believe 30 be Gernnany's invincibility
make NO mistake. The blasting process is going on. The
still they are being forced back. And if no swifter meth
cd Is found available. the present one will be continued
until the end Of time, or until the Germans know that
they are whipped.
