wheat producing country continue get
ting bad wheat weather from now on
it is hardy likely that the yield there
will be as bad as it was last year
when it ran from five to seven bushels
to the acre North Dakota probably
will have it's third consecutive wheat
crop failure, a thing unheard OF be-
fore Dry weather this spring caused
lit.
Given usual late July and August
weather and the country's wheat crop
will be we'll over S0O,OOO,OOO bushels,
which would allow the normal 6O0,-
600 900 bushels for home consumption
and 1919 seeding and give us a sur
plus of 2OO,O0O,OOO bushels for our
allies. Every bushel we save by
wheatless meals adds to that 2OO,-
OOO, 900 surplus.
A year ago we had a total normal
surplus of 73,O0O,OO0 bushels, includ-
ing the 4S,O00,O00 bushels of the left
over 1916 crop This year the United
States has practically no wheat left
over from 1917. We had nothing to
fall back on. All that we send to our
allies over the 20O,OOO,O00 surplus
must come by Hooverizing our bread
adm continuing wheatless meals.
First wheat reports from western
!! Canada indicated bumper crop. Later
surveys show a cutting down of esti-
mates, but still leaves them far above
last years estimate made in early
July. Canada put 100000 acres
into wheat this spring. Last year she
produced 251,O00,000 bushels. Reports
coming from Alberta, Saskatchewan
and Manitoba indicate 1918 yield for
well over 3O0,OOO,00O bushels, and CIV
en- good weather for the next month,
it may reach the 35O,OOO,OO0 mark. >.
The biggest wheat farm in North
America is in the Snipe Lake district
of Saskatchewan and rightly is it.
named Victory farm. Here J. E. Haw-
skins, the American manager, put in
so, 1000 acres in wheat. He expects to
add million bushels Of wheat to the
allies bread supply. HaWsklns learn
ed his farming in Illinois, and this
spring surprised the natives of Snipe
Lake by breaking $500 acres of new
land with one tractor in 60 days.
The wheat situation as far as war
purposes are concerned stands about
like this:
Canada's surplus-1O0,000,0 900 to
2OO,O0O,O0O bushels.
United States = 100000 bushels
and all saved by substituting other
cereals for wheat.
Both American and Canadian farm
ers will profit in a material way.
Flour millers are now paying from
s to 10 cents premium for wheat.
That's over the government price.
Should both Canada and the United
States come up to present estimates a
yield of 1,200,0O0OOO bushels
of wheat will be the result. That at
average local terminal prices will
bring about $2,500,O00,0OO to rural
pockets.

The attention of a British trawler

GERMANY GETS
WISE TO KAISER
"War Is a HOhenz0llern Affair." y
Says Socialist

London, July 23.-The indictment
against the kaiser and his six un-
wounded sons as perpetrators OF a
family war; has subscribers within
Germany.
Here is what the Socialist Cohn said
about it in the reichstag, according
to Berlin papers:
"The sO-called new states which
we have created in Russia are ferti-
lized by the bones of their best sons,
murdered by German soldiers who
were misused for the purpose. The
whole war has been purely a family
affair of the HOhenZollerns!
ut is possible that the allies may
be compelled to give way. But the
consequences will be that Europe will
be continent of beggars!'

w VAOV's
The above principles cover the gen
eral policies being worked out under
the direction of Secretary of Labor
William B. Wilson, Assistant Secretar-
les Louis Post and Felix Frankfurter
of the war policies board, Frank
Walsh and William H. Taft of the war
labor board. -.
" Evasion Won't Go.
Adoption of the eight-hour working
day is the most important of the re-
Gently adopted policies. Much quiet
opposition has been encountered from
firms holding contracts with the gov
eminent, which claim they took such
contracts expecting to work l0-hour
day. If the government insists that
they pay time-and-one-half for over
time their costs will be greatly in
creased. Many firms are contending
also that sub.contractors should not
be included, and they are evading the
eight-hour day requirements by farm
ling out important sections OF the WORK
to sub-contractors.
The war policies board has an
nounced that this evasion will not be

eminent must be done under the eight
hour basic day. and as this means
more expenses, the government will III
some cases have to revise the con-
tracts.
Next in importance to adoption OF
the eight-hour day and recognition
of unionism is the move made by the
war labor board to determine what
is today a living wage. High cost OF
living has knocked into cooked hat
all previous conclusions as to min
imum wage
Food Price Doubled.
The landlord has begun taking
profiteer's share of the workers
wages; food has doubled in price;
wooden clothing has become a luxury,
and at every point the worker finds
his seemingly high wage is more than
absorbed by the higher cost of living.
These costs are changing from day
to day, and Walsh and Taft find the
minimum wage connot be established
at an arbitrary figure. but must de-
pend on the fluctuations in cost OF ne
cessities.
A special meeting of the war labor
board has been called for July 20, to
conclude this matter Of a minimum
wage. s-

The success of the Chicago Cubs in
climbing to the top of the National
League heap and, staying there is the
story of the success of two catchers,
Bill Killefer, the greatest Of National
League catchers, and Fred Mitchell,
manager Of the club.
1t has long been baseball tradi-
ton that catchers make the best man
ayers, tradition which has put catch
'ers in one-third of the managerial po-
sitioas Of the big leagues as against
two-thirds from the other eight pO-
sitiOns.
The Cubs started the season with
auu the earmarks of a great ball club,
but is was not long until war condi-
tions made cuts in the ranks, which
presaged rapid fall into the second
division. The loss of Alexander, who
would have been good for about 30
was the worst blow.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1918-07-23

Yet instead of falling by the way
side the Cubs climbed out over the
heads of the Giants and took a lead
which will be difficult for any club to
overcome.
And the secret of this has been
Killefer and Mitchell.
Mitchell is one of the really smart
baseball managers of 1918. He is a
profound strategist and he knows
baseball.
Killeref's work with the Cub pitch
ing staff has to a great measure Off

His maserly work behind the bat
