Secretary Baker for referring
to our soldiers as "our boys"
these same papers said Baker
was "preposterous" when he
declared we would get milli-

THE 1919 WHEAT PRICE

~ HE message received last
VS evening by the East Ore
gonian from grain head
quarters in New York shows
that the view held there as to
the 1919 wheat price cores
ponds with the impression
among our people here and in
Portland.
The Justice of such a course
cannot be questioned. The
government urged increased
acreage and got it on the
strength of a price guaranty.
To fail to carry out the bargain
would be breach of contract.
1t is important, however,
that we be made sure of the
fixed price and doubtless fur
ther official information on
the subject will be Forthcoming.
Without an assured price for
wheat our farmers will not be
in position to meet their liberty
loan and other obligations.
In the view of the East Ore
gonian the fixed price viii
stand not only because the gov
ernment- cannot revoke it with.
out breaking faith but for the
further reason that a. hungry
world is going to need our crop.

FAMED KORAN STOLEN
FROM RUSSO LIBRARY
One of Great Volumes Taken
Out of Petrograd; Loud
Lament

New York, September 19.-fOne of
the victims of the Russian revolution
is the most famous copy of the Koran
in the world. 1t was stolen from the
public library in Petrograd and it's
whereabouts is now an absolute N.Y.
stery. Speaking of this volume of the
Koran, the celebrated Russian scholar
Professor S. F. Oldenburg said:
'The stolen Koran is unquestionably
one of the most famous volumes of it's
kind. By MussOlmans throughout the
world it was regarded as very holy. !
personally have seen hundreds of wor-
shippers of Allah walk into the pub
lie library and bow before the book.
A beautiful legend surrounds this vol
ume--the blood spots on it's covers are
said to be those of Mahommet himself.
/ don't know the motive that may have
impelled those who stole it. l do not
believe the story that Turks have
stolen it, as the soviet government al
ready has promised to return it to any
properly designated body represent
ing the Mahommedan church"
Photographic copies Of the volume
are to be found at the library.
The volume came originally from
Turkey, where it was presented to
number of Russian scholars as gift
to the Petrograd public library. A few
days before the theft, number of
American collectors offered $1,000,000
for it.

Draft Train Ticket and Other Things
Belonging to r. j. Duncan.
That the pickpocket who took the
money, draft and other articles from
the pockets of F. J. Duncan, of Rupert,
Idaho, about week ago, was careful to
rid himself of anything that could be
identified seems evident from the fact
that the draft for 5000, the lodge
cards, train tickets, pins and other
articles that Duncan carried in his
pockets have all been found. The
articles were located by Scott Tay-
lor, local carpenter, and they were
recovered in a peculiar manner.
Mr.. Taylor stood talking on South
Front street just in front of the Her

ter was at once reported to the po-
lice and the articles recognized as

Police Ed Ario forwarded the be-
longings to Duncan at Rochester,

SLASH BUTTER PROFIT
ORDER sent TO WILSON
FOOD BOSS IN MINNESOTA IS
TOLD TO DO PROBING
Countrywide Inquiry Now Being
Made Relative to Alleged
Profiteering

Possible profiteering in butter is
causing the United States food ad-
minstration at Washington to order a
general investigation. Telegraphic ad-
vices from Washington received by
A. D. Wilson, federal food admins
TRAITOR for Minnesota, said the present
situation in the butter market was
probably tempting dealers in butter
to disregard food administration
regulations. They asked the Mime
sofa administration to make search
ing inquiry in Minnesota.
Butter Price Is High.
The situation, according to the
Minnesota food administration, is
this: Fresh butter prices are high
and the temptation to holders of
storage butter is to advance prices
and put storage butter on the market
as fresh stock. 1t is to head this off
that the food administration is order
ing an investigation.
Rules having to do with cold stor-
age butter say such butter must be
sold Eat a reasonable advance" with
out regard to the market or the re-
placement value at the time Of SALE
In other words, dealers must sell it at
a reasonable advance on the price
paid.
An Absolute Check.
The food administration has an alb
solute. check on dealers and can de-
termine with precision what advan-
tage they have been taking of the
market situation. Records of cold
storage houses are at the administra-
TONS disposal and it has power to
demand a report both of the price
paid for butter and the price for
which it was Sold
The food administration has modi-
fed regulations so as to permit the
sale of less than one pound packages
of butter until January 1, 1919.

DAMAGES FOR $4,000
CLAIMED BY SHUETIS
Suit In Which TW0.WeII. Known
Men of Cleveland Are
Featured

AS the result of several youngsters
in Cleveland taking the numbers of
all cars that were driven in the viii
lage last Sunday and publishing a
list of the names on large placard in
the hotel window, a damage suit for
$4,000 has been started between two
prominent citizens of that place. 1t
appears that last Sunday a group of
youngsters organized and took the
number of every car that was oper-
ated in the village They then pro-
ceeded to list the names and placed
them in the window of the hotel at
Cleveland.
Great was the excitement in the
yillage<when the roll of honor ap
peared At the head of the list was
a brief explanation of the case in
which those listed below were char
anterized as "SIackers," Huns" and
something even stronger. Among the
names given was that of Sven Ben
son of Cleveland Mr.. Benson is re-
ported to have greatly resented the
prominent position his name occupied
and to have endeavored to ascertain
who was responsible for the act.
His deductions are reported to have
led him to fix the blame on E. K.
Shuetis, merchant of the village. 1t
happened that during the past spring
a great many chickens were stolen
about Cleveland and in addition to
blaming Shuetis for advertising his
name Benson is reported to have stat
ed that mo chicken thief could call
him a pro Hun" AS a result of the
controversy, Mr.. Shuetis has filed
suit against Benson for $4,000 dam
ages, claiming that his name and bus
mess were damaged to that amount.
The case has created great deal OF
interest in Cleveland.
