WILSON EXPLAINS
1919 WHEAT PRICE
PRESIDENT TELLS WHY SAME
PRICE FIXED FOR WHEAT
NEXT YEAR AS THIS

Yesterday President Wilson issued a
proclamation fixing the price of the
| 1919 wheat crop on the same basis as
that paid for the 1918 crop Only por-
ton of his proclamation was given yes
| terday. Today we are able to give the
reasons assigned by the president for
his action and the possibility of the war
closing before the middle of 1919 and
leaving the United States with high
priced wheat crop on its hands. The re-
mainder of the proclamation not already
published, follows:
In giving guaranteed price for wheat
one year in advance (the only industry
guaranteed by the government there is
involved a considerable national risk the
president said.
eff there should be peace or increased
shipping available before the middle of
1919, Europe will naturally supply itself
from the large stores of much cheaper
wheat now in the southern hemisphere,
and therefore, the government is under
taking a risk which might in such an
event, result in a national loss of as
much as $5OO,000,000 through an un-
|salab1e surplus; or, in any event, i'll main
tanning high level of price to our own
people for long period subsequent to
freedom in the worlds markets.
Will Name Board.
sIn issuing today the governments
guarantee of the same price for the 1919
wheat crop that was guaranteed for the
1913 crop, I wish it to be understood
that in the spring of 1919 | will appoint
a disinterested commission who will Sc
cure the facts by that time disclosed as
to the increased cost of farm labor and
supplies, using the three-year pre-war
average price of wheat, of labor and of
supply costs as a basis and that from
this information shall determine
whether there should be an increase of
price above the present level, and if so
what advance in order to maintain for
the farmer a good return. Should it
then appear that an increase is deserved
over the present guarantee it will be ap-
Dlied only to those who have by next
harvest already marketed their 1918
wheat
"The desirability Of assuring a supply
to the world of prime breadstuffs by IN
suring the farmer against the tluctua-
tions in prices that would result from
the uncertainties of the present situation
and from the speculation those uncer-
tainties entail, seems to me to make the
continuation of the guarantee Tor an
other year desirable. On the other hand
if is clear that before increasing this la
bilitv by large sums with the risks set
forth above and before increasing the
burden of the consumer the matter
should be subjected to searching inquiry
AZ the aDpropriate tirne-the time when
the pertinent facts will be known
Il feel confident that with this pre-
liminary fixed guarantee and with the
assurance that justice will in any event
be done to the grower, he will continue
the fine patriotic effort by which he has
served the country hitherto; that the
will have acted prudently
and that the consumer will be satisfied
that his interests are not unduly sacrl-j
feed, but just and exhaustive considera-
ton given to every element of the matter
at the proper time.

JUST BEFORE THE III
BATTLE MOTHER"
EVERYBODY IN IDAHO CERTAIN
OF VICTORY AT PRIMARY
ELECTION TODAY

BOISE-"Can the nonpartizans put
| it over?"
On the eve of the primary election,
| this is the question in the minds of Ida
| no politicians in the face of one of the
most unique situations ever raised in
| the political history of the state. The
close of the polls tomorrow night will
| tell whether the taking over of the
democratic party attempted by the mi
nority nonpartizan element will sue
ceed.
The old-line politicians say it will
not.
Ready for Conflict.
Tonight both camps rest on their
arms, so to speak, in readiness for the
morrow's conflict. The old-line demo-
Gratis, battling for the very existence
of their party, will bitterly contest
every ditch before the determined on
slaughts of the nonpartizans, recruited
from the ranks of the socialist and re-
publican parties, as well as from the
democratic ranks.
1t is said particularly keen fight
will rage throughout the state for the
election of precinct committeeman in
anticipation of the future strategic ad-
vantage accruing to the faction hold
in a majority of these seemingly in
significant offices.
In the republican camp comparative
quiet reigns In the language Of the
politician, it looks on the face of it as
if there is nothing to it but republi-
can year" Contests on the republican
ticket are not attracting the attention
which might otherwise be expected.
Each Dopes Victory.
In the three-corner democratic gu
bernatorial contest each of the camps
is doping out victory on paper. In
this the odds seem to favor H. F.
Samuels of Wallace, the nonpartizan
candidate, because of the contest be-
tween Van Sicklin and Martin.
Should the nonpartizan ticket get
the organization vote claimed by them
and have it augmented by a labor and
socialist vote measuring up to their ex-
pectations they would probably poll
close to 10000 votes Such a vote, if
delivered, might reasonably be ex-
pected to sweep their ticket onto the
>llcts for the November election.

Schools. The pupils have already
invested in about 50, 900 worth of
these stamps and the thrift idea is
taking hold nObly with the children
who, instead of spending their money
for sweets and pleasure are learning
the habit of saving and putting their
earnings into the best investment in
the world and at the same time doing
their bit to help win the war. The
seventh grade has taken the lead in
buying thrift stamps in the grammar
school with a purchase of S212. %

second with total of $21l 50 worth.
Miss Ethel Dole, who is sent here
by the government to give cooking
lessons gave fine lesson yesterday

Excellent Work Being Done by the Red
Cross Women-More Articles Sent
The chairman of Sewing reports
the following articles sent last week
to the Wilmington Red Cross head
quarters: 4 hospital shirts, l pair
pajamas and % bed jackets. The
following articles were sent by the
chairman of knitting to the Whining
ton headquarters: 81 sweaters, 2
scarfs, y helmets, IL pair socks and
l trench cap. There are more knit
ters needed and a request is made by
the chairman of knitting that the
women who have not been knitting 90
to the Library room on Wednesday
afternoons between 2 and 4. 80 O clock
and get some wool and help the Red
Cross with the knitting as we'll as in
other ways. The Red Cross leaders
say that the women of Delaware are
not working, for the work has fallen
off just as the need is increasing by
leaps and bounds. If we do not work,
the supplies will not get over there
and we will fail those who are fight
ing for us. You are asked to double
the work you have been doing and
bring in new workers. Delaware as
ahead for several months in the big
Red Cross accounts, now our state
has dropped back. Let US all, from
now on, DO Red Cross work of som e
kind every day The people of Smyrna
contributed five large boxes of used
clothing when the drive was made in

LOCAL INTEREST IN COMING
STATE HIGHWAY AWARDS
BIDS FOR SMYRNA-OOVER ROAD

and the Lincoln Highway Project
Much local interest is Centered in
the opening of bids by the State High
way Commission at Dover next Mon
day and the awarding of contracts for
building the sections of concrete roads
recently authorized and advertised.
This includes the road between Smyrna
and Dover long in need of permanent
construction. While Kent and SUSSEX
are both interested in their roads.
there is decided interest in the Will
mington- Chester Pike. While it is
very probable the State Highway will
go ahead with the project as advertised
another route has sprung into promin-
ence. 1t is stated in the last issue of
the Good Roads Magazine that at the
next session of the Pennsylvania Leg
islature there will be presented bill
providing for the construction of a
highway $50 feet wide from South
western Philadelphia to the Delaware
State line and finally to Washington.
The location of this road will be close
to the river and serve the industrial
companies located on the river. The
plans in Pennsylvania have been
worked up by Chester E. Albright.
chief of the Philadelphia Bureau of
Survey. 1t is problem whether this
road will connect with the present
Philadelphia Pike at the State line or
will be located on the new right of
way of the Philadelphia Pike and
closer to the river. 1t is understood
that those now back of the project of
Pennsylvania will attempt to have the
present Delaware State construction
conform with the Pennsylvania plans
and outline Several Wilmington
people favor the location of the road
near the river and away from the
ridge of hills over which the present
Philadelphia Pike runs.

STRAWBERRIES MAY BE HIGH

Farmers Setting out Very Few Plants
This Year-ScarcitY of Cars Predicted
Farmers in Sussex are setting out
very few strawberry plants, and there
will be but possibly rs to 100 cars
next year, compared with a usual crop
of 400 to 500 cars a season at Bridge
vile. Similar conditions exist at
Selbyville and other points in Sussex
county, and as a result strawberries
will likely bring Is to 25 cents a
quart for the fancy stock next year.
