harvested wheat for future delivery. He consults
the future" price before he makes his contract.
He takes no risk at all.
Because he takes risk, he cannot legtimately
demand exorbltant prohts And the price ne pays
for his future wheat is fair to the farmer because
the future quotation is based on the condition OF
the worlds wheat crop, and is normally the most
accurate possible forecast of the value of the
ing wheat crop Many farmers under the inn
preston that the trading in futures is opposed to
their own best interests. There is future market
for wheat. In normal year, 81 per cent of the
ultimate price of the wheat goes to the farmer.
There is no future market for barley for pota-
toes. In normal year, 80 per cent of the ultimate
price of the barley to the producer, and only
55 per cent of the ultimate value of the potatoes.
The consumer, the city whose dealings
with the bakery, is prone to think that the future
trader is the man to whom all his woes are due.
Future trading in wheat is just as necessary from
the ultimate consumers point of view it is from
the producers. By reducing the element of risk,
it cuts down the profit of middlemen. By its sys-
tenn of reaching ahead it smooths over the ups and
downs of prices that follow unexpected develop
ments in the grain situation 1t irons the price
curve from jagged line into a long smooth curve.
This summary is not defense of the board of
trade or the grain exchange. There have been
merous abuses of the system, and there are dozen
technical ways In which II can De Juggled 10 Denent
the operator at the expense of the plain citizens
both ends-the farmer and the consumer. The best
known, of course, is the corner wherein specula-
tor tries to buy up all the grain in sight and
his monopoly for extortiOn. In such case, the
prices longer reflect the real value of the
ceases to be a good and become serious evil. AS
long as the board of trade is an adjunct to the
grain business it is good thing. 1t is insurance
against price fluctuations, and in some form such
an insurance must exist, there be trading
except wide margins. But soon as the grain
business of the country begins to be mere adj
junct of the board of trade then it is time to take
down the family shotgun and proceed to resist in
vason.
The immediate question is, what are we going
to do about it? The grain exchange is necessity,
but it is institution quite capable of being
abused Spectators have even been known to
abuse it. The answer unless all the signs of the
times are wrong seems to spell government regula-
ton. strict federal supervision of all dealing
would permit the legitimate trade to go on, and
stop all attempts to the machinery for negi1-
mate purposes policy of enlightened super
vision is what Mr. Brand of the Office markets
sees as indicated.
1t may be stated with authority that while the
pending legislation carries broad authority in many
directions, that authority will be used to remedy
abuses in existing institutions wherever such
course possible rather than replace them with
new and untried ones. This formula seems to fit
the case of the grain exchange.

Keeping Prosperity Vigorous.

Bonds, not only for drainage and for
roads, but also for bridges, schools, sewers,
streets, electric lights, courthouses, fire de-
partments and public buildings of various
kinds, are being voted and sold throughout
this section, from Maryland to Texas and from
Florida to Oklahoma. Last week, for instance,
these columns contained seventy-four items
from various places in the South concerning
a total of several millions of dollars of such
securities which ultimately will be expended
for the general welfare of their respective
communities "-Manufacturers Record.
The resourcefulness and good Judgment and
practical patriotism indicated by this record is
tribute to the spirit of Southern communities The

the stronger will it be for bearing the vars bur-
dens and grasping the opportunities that will

the slogan, Business as usual" War necessarily

tions interest require that keep the forces of
prosperity vigorous and that avoid the costly
error of pressing economy the point OF parsimony.
On the same principle that individuals should
continue buying the things they need, communities
improvements Notwithstanding the war To do
otherwise would be unjust themselves and to the
common country, for it would check their prosperity
and thereby lessen their capacity to serve the
ton now and in the years ahead. Public health
is not whit less important because of the war,
are good roads, good schools and other institutions
for the common welfare. Wherever these interests
require bond issues and local conditions warrant 1t,
there should be no hesitancy in issuing bonds and
going boldly forward with the needful improve
ments.
One district in Poinsett county, Arkansas, re-
Gently issued and sold million dollars worth Of
bonds for the reclamation of great tract of allu-
vial land in the St. Francis river basin; and
other Arkansas county has floated quarter of
million dollars worth of bonds for improving its
highways. Such expenditures are eminently justi-
fled because they will open the way to the pro-
ducton of ncalcuable wealth and to the creation of
prosperity that will strengthen the nations
sinews and make assurance for the future doubly
sure.

SOAP BANDAGES

The latest development in war surgery is the use
of pure soap on bandages. This method Is prov

is the perfectly pure white variety. The band

Then the damp cake of soap is rubbed across it's

an excellent effect on the wound, and prevents the

STYLES OF TRENCHES

According to the description of German Of
fcer the Germans divide their trenches into four
different classes There are, first, the rife pits
shallow excavations dug by the soldier lying down
under fire. about four feet long and two feet wide,
with low earth parapet pushed up in front;
ond, the kneeling trench, simple ditch about
three feet wide; third, the standing trench which
has a shelflike terrace running parallel with the
bottom, where the men may stand and shoot and
last the improved permanent trench, wide and
deep, with trench street running along the low
est level and first shelf terrace two feet higher
for the trench garrison, and a second terrace two
feet above the first and five feet below ground level
where the men may mount to shoot.

How To Select Foods for Family

WASHINGTON, April q. The

Vegetable seed for planting should

home gardener would do we'll TO
look over his garden pot. decide on

viously harvested. Such a plan will
enable him to keep the garden busy
all season. supplying fresh vege-
tables during the summer and pro-
ducing, in the late fall, root and
other crops for winter use. Once
the heavy preliminary spading and
working of the garden has been
done, il is about as easy to raise two
or three crops as TO keep the gar
den clean of weeds to produce only
one picking. The specialists advise
those who are not used to garden

take an interest in the garden, to
hire a laborer to do the heavy pre-
liminary spading or breaking up of
