STORING OUR SURPLUS WHEAT

If our wheat harvest meets expectations the federal gov
eminent will be able to reserve at least 2O0OOOOOO bushels of
1t to GUARD against a poor crop next year. The Mormon church
has decided to sell its reserve of 250,O0O bushels of wheat. Brig
ham Young established a reserve of wheat to guard against
anime in pioneer days and his policy has been followed ever
since. We are now about to apply the same policy on a ma
tonal scale, which is a tribute to the foresight of the Mormon
leader. The whole world needs larger reserves of foOdstuffs,
cotton, wool and other indispensable commodities, and one
of the problems of the future will be the maintenance of such
reserves in the right hands so that their existence will not de-
press prices and discourage producers.
In past years a generous surplus at the end of a crop year
has been used by spectators to depress prices, and this has
prevented the accumulation and carrying of a supply sufficient
to insure consumers against want and excessive prices when
crops are poor. No government can buy or carry over an I'M
limited supply, but something might be done to strike an aver
age so that reserves might be available to meet deficiencies in
lean years. This would stabilize prices and check over-specu-
iation-Exchange.

FARMERS AND LABOR UNIONS

Farmers are the backbons of this and every other country
that is capable of supporting itself. They complain with JUS
tice that everything they buy is advancing in price and that
they are not prosperous, as many believe. At the annual meet
ing of the Southern Pine Association in New Orleans, John H.
Kirby, one of its directors, urged the farmers to demand repre-
sentatiOn in contests between capital and labor so that farm
es may not be the victims of discrimination in wage disputes
and consequent increases in the cost of everything they use and
consume.
He pointed out that if the toiers of this nation, with our
unassimilated foreign population, were organized to the extent
that the American Federation of Labor seeks to organize them.
and to the extent that our own department of labor, supported
by taxes Wrung from the people, seems to wish, we, in this
world crisis, would be as helpless as Russia. In many cases,
cited by him, labor organizations, while protesting patriotism,
try to limit production. In the case of lumber, the farmers
who buy nearly half the output of the southern mills will be
forced to pay an outrageous price for building materials if the
labor unions win their fight.
Federal interference with such industries, he claims, is en-
abHng the American Federation of Labor to drive the toilers of
this country into it's ranks. This element, cooperating with
demagOgues in public life, he fears, will sooner or later involve
us in revolutions and destroy the republic. The American
farmer will suffer most if the American Bolsheviki gain the up-
per hand. They can see in Russia the results of letting an an
archistic labor minority seize the reins of power-New York

GERNANY'S LYING PROPAGANDA

The Germans have invented two amazing new weapons
this war. One is official frightfulness on IN iieiu Vi D"A0' "'
other is organized lying in the field of propaganda
A correspondent in Atlanta, Ga, writes TO Inc oh
public Information: There is a story circulating !" Io oo
ton to the effect that 400 men died of pneumonia at camp
Wheeler and that an army doctor, assisted by two hed Gross
nurses. spread the infection. 1t is said that he had been u-
tailed to give all the soldiers a~ntipneumonia serum, III lie gave
them live pneumonia germs instead.
Finally he felt sick himself, and when 1T was suggested
that he should be given a dose out of his own stock ne protesI-
ed so franticallv that they analysed the serum and founo out
what it was. The story runs that they did not shoot him, Dut
merely gave him an injection of his own dope, ana "heh hes
got it to him he said, We'll, that ends me.
"The doctors name is not furnished, but it is alleged that
he had been one of the most prominent physicians in Macon,
Ga, before he went into the army.
81 heard this story told with much more detail by a per-
fectly innocent woman. Eight other people were present. All
were honest Americans, but every one of them believed the
story"
This is a perfect specimen of the sort of lie that was circu-
lated in all parts of the country last winter concerning Ill nealh
and bad hospital conditions in the army camps. is typical in
the convincing details that it gives. 1t is "a good story" which
loyal citizens would be tempted to repeat for the sake OF It's
dramatic effect.
1t is completely untrue. The surgeon generals office au-
thorizes the statement that "there is nothing whatever in this
absurd rumor." All the deaths from pneumonia that have Oc-
Cured in Camp Wheeler from the day the troops moved In up
to the present time do not amount to One-fifth of the number
that are attributed, by this invention, to the crime of an anony-
nous doctor and his two Red Gross assistants. The proNierman
purpose Of such stories is obvious. They are designed to dis
courage enlistments, to arouse opposition to the draft, to IN
crease the anxieties of the soldiers relatives, and to destroy the
faith Of the American people in their government and it's war
work.

WHAT HAVE YOU GIVEN up

Have you given up your job and let your business future
take care of itself?
Have you said goodbye to your family and friends and all
you hold dear?
Have you begun an entirely new career that may end. if
you live, with health impaired, an arm off, a leg gone, an eye
out?
Have you given up your business future and said good bye
and taken a chance on coming back alive and well. and done it
all with a cheerful heart and with a grim determination to do
all you possibly can for your country?
And do you only at times-in the evenings, perhaps, when
the light in the sky slowly fades away feel so homestick and
so lonesome that you are fearful that you will not have the
courage to do your part after all?
You have not done these things? All, l see, you are not one
of our army or navy boys; you are a stay-at-home person.
Well, there have to be 20 or more stay-at-home persons for
everyone who goes, and so certainly no disgrace attaches to be-
ing one if you fully appreciate what those boys who do go have
to give up and if you support them to the limit of your ability.
National War Savings day is June 28. That dv gives Won
the opportunity of showing in a practical way that YOU do ap-
preciate what it means to the boys who go. Pledge yourself on
or before that day to save to the utmost of your ability and to
buy War Savings stamps. that there may be more money. labor
and materials to back up those who fight and die for you.
