Now, conditions being as they are,
does it lie within the heart of the
American people to preserve and hold
to every convenience of our life at the
expense of adding an additional bur-
den to the womanhood Of France ? This
is the exact question that is invovled
in our substitution of other cereals in
place of wheat.
The women of France must be en-
abled to hold up the morale of the
French soldier until next spring. The

We can do this by giving to them the
greatest possible freedom in their
food supply, and of this, wheat is the

Geographic report of the coming

ter received yesterday by his brother,

all of France. was making great prep
arations for the welcome of President
| Wilson. The telegraph office in which

Invitation of the Grand
Forks Curling Club.

Curriers' from Grafton, Drayton,
Crystal, Hensel. st. Thomas and
Bowesmont have accepted the in
vitation of the Grand Forks curriers'
and will arrive here tomorrow for the
purpose of playing a few games at the
pavilion.
None Of the towns mentioned have
as yet had ice fit for curling, and as
Grand Forks men have been able to
play for some time past, the Grand
Forks club decided to issue an invita-
ton to the other curriers' to make use
of the ice. AS a result. it was ar
ranged to have the men come here
and play tomorrow evening.
At 6 o'clock a lunch will be served
and two games at the pavilion will
follow one at z and the other at s
o'clock.
1t has been the custom to have
a meeting of this nature each winter
and under the circumstances the club
decided to arrange to have it earlier
than usual this year. The games to be
played tomorrow night promise to be
good ones and every Grand Forks
curler is strongly urged to attend.

GUARANTEED
PRICE FOR
WHEAT URGED
Legislation for This Purpose
by Food
Administration.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Legislation
to make effective the wheat price
guarantee for the 1919 crop and at
the same time to safeguard the gov
eminent against losses was recon-
mended to congress today by the de-
partment of agriculture and the food
administration.
poration is maintaining the price for
the 1913 crop with it's capital Of
$150,000, 900 and its credits, combined
with the export demand for wheat.
The 1918 crop is estimated at 917,-
10000 bushels, and or November 20
last the movement from the farms
amounted to 588,000.000 bushels, of
which 254,000,000 bushels was in
storage. +
orandum, that there is a very large
amount of the 1918. crop yet to be
moved from the farms, and it will
take all the u Of the grain
corporation and the most careful at
tention to every detail to carry out
the guaranteed price for the crop
of 1918"
price for the 1919 crop presents a
much more difficult situation, it was
pointed out. because the winter wheat
acreage is about 5000, 900 acres larger
than that for 1918, and if an increase
in spring wheat is planted the harvest
of 1919 may be in excess of that of
1918, when the yield is estimated at
917,100.0 900 bushels.
A memorandum to Representative
Lever Of South Carolina, chairman of
the house agricultural committee,
made the following recommendations:
First, extension by congress beyond
June 1, 1920 Of the date for the gov
eminent purchase of the 1919 crop.
Second, continuance of the food ad-
ministration's grain corporation, or
creation of a new agency to buy,
store and sell 1919 wheat that may be
offered by the government, and,
Third, possible legislative provisions
to protect the government against
wheat or flour brought in from other
countries during the period of effec-
tiveness of the guaranteed price and
also to protect buyers of such wheat
as long as the wheat is in this coun-
try and not consumed.
The memorandum was compiled
with the approval of President Will
son.
Regarding extension Of the date of
government purchase the memoran-
dunn said:
ut will be impossible to carry out
the government guarantee as 1t Is in
tended by June 1, 1920, and If pro-
ducers cannot sell their wheat to the
United States before that date and are
left with wheat on hand. 1t will be
felt that the obligation of the United
States a not been carried out In
good faith"
