.TnE PRICE OF WHEAT

Not long ago in order to give sta bility to the market and to prevent the hoarding of wheat in anticipa- ton ot decided increase in price, President Wilson decided that the same price for 1918 should be main tainea as was fixed for 1917, and ac- rordiaE to his order if was place at s2.29 a bushei under the belief that that not only gave the raiser a sakis- factory return but that it at the same time gave him encoura cement to increase his production.
 Now by plan which seems. to throw the matter of price fixing into poli- tics so that it will have an effect up- on future elections bill has been presented in congress fixing the price of wheat this year at $e.50 a bush el at the farm, an increase of 30 cents a busheI oyer last year and what the president has said should be the figure for this year. This has been approved by an overwhelming vote in the senate.
 What action the, lower house of congress will take upon it remains ! to be seen but in view of his previous stand there appears to be every req. son for the application of a veto ii the bill reaches the president in that l form. There can be no question but what the farmer should be treated with every consideration. It is true that he should get a proper return for his product just as much as the mu- milton maker but when it is realized that this would mean an additional bur. den of ssee.o0o,eoO yearly upon tht people and further increases in wage. it seems as if reason and not poH
 tics should be the governing faceo, when it comes to fizing price

Views of the Vigilantes

Of The Vigilantes.
 There are many arguments in favor of universal military training. Here is one that struck home to me with peculiar force.
 This southern. state from which 1 write has a population of over two million, of which fifteen per cent. is illiterate.. I have met a good many of this latter class in my goings about in the rural districts. One of them I knew very well. He was a young fellow. white, and farm hand He had three brothers. Only one of the four could read; he was a carpenter in the city. The others had stayed on the farm, and never gone to school They couldn't write their names. The mother could read and write, after a fashion. The father was dead.
 Well Jim the one knew, was drafted and sent to Camp Lee. This cut him off completely from his family 1 for, you see he was unable to com municate with them in any way but | by word of mouth. Jim had the regular farm sleueh when he Jeff home. His shoulders were punched over, and his walk was shuttle. His eyes had a bovine look. His fact

HINTS FOR PIE BAKERS.

The. next time you bake pies,.es- pecially juicy pies. try adding a little cornstarch to the crust. One tea spoonful to a pie will prevent the un- dercfust from being heavy.
 Try mixing the sugar and four And adding it to the fruit before putin your pie together. The pie will be more evenly sweetened and you will not bite into any Jumps of flour. Do not stretch the top crust tight. In pressing the edges of the top crust toward the center of the pie. This allows plenty of room for the fruit to cook and prevents the crust from bursting open and the juice escaping. Save an ounce of juice or an ounce of meat or potato.

 The other day I dropped into a hotel here in the city to send off some picture cards Tn the writing room, young infantryman sat at a desk near mine. He was making rough weather of a letter he had un- der way, but was getting on just the same.

WORST is over
Says SbR|TISH PREMIER
IN ADDRESS TODAY
David Lloyd George Sees All
Signs Pointing Toward
Early Allied Victory

Manchester, England, Sept. 12.-
"The worst is over" Premier Lloyd
George declared today, in receiving the
freedom of the city.
"The news is now distinctly good
really good, he said. "The tunnel is
long and there are some ssteep grad.
tents still be climbed, but it is getting
shorter. The worst is over.
"Thc casualties in the latest adj
vance were less than one fifth of the
total suffered in the advance of 1916.
The main difference between 1916 and
1918 is the unity of command"
1.-The advent of the Americans addi-
tionally depressed the Germans. There
is no finer feat in the history of Eng.
lish industry than the transportation of
the Americans across the Atlantic. The
Germans did not expect more than ,Mo
divisions. That was another miscalcu-
lation. Hundreds Of thousands of AM
orleans are there now and the Germans
know it. They are the advance guard
of at least 100000 of the finest ma
terial in the world.
\"When We suffered our reverse in
March 21 We still had large reserves,
some of which the German did not
know. | have already expressed graft.
tude to those who criticised the govern
ment, charging we had no reserves, as
it was SO successfully misleading to the
Germans.
q" We were extremely fortunate in Sc.
curing the services of Foch as supreme
commander. He is especially fitted for
the exceptional conditions of this war
where battles are fought on a 800 mile
front.
"OnlY national heart failure will pre-
vent real victory. We must impose a
durable peace to end all wars. Prussian
mllitarism must not only be beaten, but
the German people must know their
rulers outraged the laws of humanity
and that Prussian strength cannot pro.
tect them from punishment.
"This must be the last war. Don t
be misled that league of nations it.
self would secure the world against ca
tastropre. A league with Prussian pow
er triumphant would be league of
fox and geese-one fox and many geese,
and the latter would greatly diminish in
numbers.
81 am for league. In fact, its be-
gun. The British empire is league of
free nations. The allies are fighting the
battle of International right and lea.
que of free nations. If after the war,
Germany repudiates her perfidy and
the perfidy Of her rulers, then Germany
will be freed from militarism and will
be welcome to the great league but
only on the sure foundation Of allied
victory.
Peace must be the kind of peace
commencing itself to common sense
and the conscience of the nations as
whole. 1t must not be dictated bv TX.

low the bolsheviks to force us to
peace so humiliating that il would dis.
