SICK FOLKS HUSTLE
FOR THE RED CROSS

Through the National Tuberculosis
Association and the Journal of the Out
door Life, Its official magazine, a cam
paign is being organized to get tuber-
culosis patients of the country to en-
list every fellow "cure chaser" as a
member of the Red Cross during the
coming Red Cross Christmas Roll Call.
Special campaigns have been organ
lied in all of the large sanatoria, of
which there are nearly 600 scattered
throughout the United States. Efforts
will be made to enroll one hundred
per cent in each institution and also
to go after all patients and enroll
them as well. Every patient in the
sanatorium will be responsible to get
one more patient The movement will
be contribution of the tuberculosis
patients Of the country to the Red
Cross.
Since the National Tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION and its affiliated agencies are
being supported by the Red Cross
through direct appropriation during
the year 1919, this effort of the tuber-
culosis patients is considered to be an
unusually appropriate one.

RAISING HOGS PROFITABLE

S. j. Chambers, has found raising
hogs a very profitable business. Less
than four years ago he bought fine
young sow from Rev. S. B. Ogle pay
ing the minister 500 for the pur-
chase. She proved to be good
brood sow and his stock increased
rapidly. From this sow and her off
spring he sold last year $3.50 worth
of hogs and meat, has sold this year
$3.50 worth and has about $500 worth
left yet to dispose Of This is some
hog raising and we do not believe
there is a grower in the county who
can beat it. If there is we would like
to publish an account of his exper-
fence.

Precious Gold,

Since the beginning Of the war, thu
nations Of Europe have sent quantities
Of gold to our shores. So, as far al
gold is concerned. we are richer than
ever before, comments a financial ex.
change. But gold, except that portion
Of 1t which is made into gold foil, OF
used for gliding, or made into jewelry,
or otherwise employed in the arts, has
no value in itself. Gold, in general, ID
only symbol Of value, of use for buy
ing; and If the goods are not at hand
to be bought, the gold Is valueless. You
cannot eat 1t, or drink 1t, you cannot
warm yourself with 1t. As q financial
writer said the other day, If gold
were to be discovered In the same
quantities in which copper is found, It
would be as beautiful and us useful In
the arts and sciences as before, but
we should have to stop using 1t for
money. You would need 80 pounds Of
It to buy pair of shoes, and the price
Of the shoes would be about $780,"

CARRIES BIG WEDDING FEAST
Father Remembers His Days Of %.
SPAR When He Invites Guests for
the Sumptuous Repast.

Twenty years ago Max GoOtschneider
landed In New York with slim young
wife, a baby girl that could Just toddle,
$50 in money and hopeful disposition.
The first few weeks In the strange
America was period of such forlorn
and homeslck misery that Max never
forgot them.
And so, when Max and Mrs. Max,
no longer slim, sat In their fine house
discussing the details Of celebration
which might be suitable to signallze
the engagement Of the only daughter
OF prosperous furrier to marry rich
young diamond merchant, Max had
an idea, says the Cincinnati Times,
Star.
Mamma" he said. "you remember
when we landed In New York-you
and Carrie, our baby, and me? You
remember how 1t was for us them
Well, we shall give feast for our,
daughter, Carrie, and her young man,
but we will give it to the people who
are now like we were then. Our
friends are happy. They are not hun
CRY. They are not sorrowful BECAUSE
there is no one to cheer them up. They
do not need a feast like the poor peo-
pie that have come from the old coun-
try. Those are the people who shall
enjoy our Carries wedding feast"
And so the feast was given, away
down In East Broadway. in the build
Ing which is occupied by the Hebrew
Immigrants Sheltering Aid society,
and which overflows nowadays with
hundreds Of misery-stricken people
from the countries at war in Europe.
There was room where $50 per-
sons could eat at once. As soon as one
crowd Of $50 had finished, another
came in. There were no invitations
and no red tape. Max and Mrs. Max
and the pretty Carrie and her proud
husband-to-be stood at the door and
smilingly welcomed all who came.
There was chicken and duck and goose
and geflite fish. And everyone was
welcome to all Of everything.
Even the kids. who stealthily Pill.

the spirit Of kindness 80 permeated
1t all that Mamma Gootschneider, now

n lulloH III gram IlluIkcl-
ing was taking place Uncle Sam
had started on this remarkable ex-
pertinent; he was going to see wheth-
er wheat could be marketed minus
rake-Offs to the SPECTATORS This
necessitated complete control by the
Government Of storage facilities, trans
pOrtation and distributive agencies,
and the marketing machinery for
wheat and rye
Everybody was troubled; most Of
all, the officials of the Food Admins
tration Grain Corporation who had
undertaken, without salary, and at the
sacrifice of their personal connection
with the grain trade, to whip into
shape the forces that would drive for
ward the big business machine for
marketing American wheat. A single
control; and a $5O,OOO,000 nonprotit-
making corporation to do the work.
: This work is a necessary arm Of the
Food Administration, allowing the
Government to do business quickly
and without red tape. Its stock Is held
in trust by t'e President of the Unit
ed States. n the time of the war 1t
will supervise the rate or purchase
the part commercially available Of the
66OO00,000 bushels of wheat and the
tOOO0,OO0 surplus of rye grown in
America in 1917. Its job is to find a
market for every bushel, irrespective
of class and grade. Under it's patron
age, wheat screenings are moving just
AZ easily as No. Northern. It must
also work out satisfactorily the local
prices for wheat at each of almost
10000 country elevator points, adjust
thousands of complaints, organize the
gathering and analysis Of date, inspect
concerns reported as dealing unfairly,
solve vexatious disagreements among
the trade, and deal effectively with the
allies purchasing agent and the neu-
trails who may desire to purchase.
In the early days, following the de-
termination Of prices for 1917 wheat
by the Presidents Fair Price Commits
sion, confusion existed in every part of
the wheat-producing regions. This was
intensified by the Inauguration Of the
new grain grades, as promulgated by
the Department Of Agriculture, which
took place about the same time, and
led to diverse complaints and feel
ing among farmers that the Grain Cor
poration Of the Food Administration
was responsible for both the price as
determined and stricter observance of
grain grades. But the corporation was
Irresponsible for neither act Il 10 pure.

at New York City was 1928 per BUSH
ell. Here is how he went about it:
The freight rate from Sikeston to
New York being 1898 cents per BUSH
ell, he deducted that from 1928 per
bushel and found the price at Sikeston
to be $2.llO2. From this he deducted
per cent per bushel for the commits
sion firms charges, which put the net
price t. 0. b. SikestOn at $21OO2.
He next compared this price with
what he could get if he sold at st.
Louis, his nearest primary market. At
st. Louis the basic price is S2.18 per
bushel, and the freight rate from
Sikeston to st. Louis 6 cents per BUSH
ell This would make the Sikeston
price $2.12, less cent per bushel for
selling charges, or $2.11 net. The st.
Louis price would therefore govern,
being advantageous to the Sikeston
seller.
If our imaginary 2 bushels of wheat
had started from Sikeston, since 1t was
No. 2 grade, we must deduct 3 cents
per bushel, which would bring the
prize l. v. ". Luc clcVdLOI pOluL %
$2.O802 per bushel. AS our imaginary
elevator man Is charging cents per
bushel for handling, which includes
the commission fee just mentioned, we
deduct an additional cents to arrive
at the price the farmer received. This
price would be $2.O4O2 at the elevator.
Some of that 4 cents will return to our
farmer If the elevator prospers; for Il
Is owned comparatively.
When Farmer and Elevator Man Dis
agree.
Had this elevator been owned by pri-
vate firm or person, or had 1t been a
"line" plant, Col. Jenkins would not
have been so bland and trustful.
He might have refused to sell at all
and arranged to store his wheat or he
might have taken it over to a COM
petitive concern which offered high
er price; for the Food Administration
has not yet attempted to regulate the
prices paid farmers for wheat at coun-
try points. II does, however, offer to
sell for any farmer or farmers organs
