introducing Two Bushels Of Wheat
Lying side by side in his wagon had
been bushels of wheat that fate had
marked for strangely different ends.
They were very much alike, those
bushels of wheat, and to look at them
you would not have suspected the
strange and wonderful adventures In
store for them. Yet one was destined
to travel abroad for consumption In
France; the other to find its way into
Georgia, where IL was milled and Its
flour finally reached a New York
baker on the East Side. But in the
sum of the travels made by the two,
as we shall follow them, will be un-
folded the international panorama Of
wheat marketing In time of war.
Finding a Price at Country Point.
High war costs Of production gave
our Missouri farmer much concern as
to his returns and accounted for his
depression over the prospects of his
wheat grading down" for that meant
a reduction Of cents per bushel un-
der the No. 1 grade. But 1t graded
No. 2.
The elevator would also deduct an
additiona! cents bushel to cover the
fixed charge made in this locality for
handling and selling. The 5-cent
charge included the commission of
cent per bushel customary in 1917
among commission men for selling the
wheat to domestic millers or foreign
buyers.
The elevator man was none too sure
as to how to get at the price which
this wheat should bring He knew
considerably more about human nature
than freight rates and decided to
"check up" the problem to the nearest
zone agent of the Grain Corporation.
So he wrote letter to the representa-
tive stationed at ST. Louis. That let
ter was referred to the traffic expert |
in the New York Office, who transmit
ted the following rule for determining |
the price of wheat at any country
point:
There Is only one price for wheat at
country point. That price Is always
to be arrived at by taking as a basis
the price at the most advantageous
primary market where we have fixed
price and deducting the freight to
that market and fair handling profit.
That Is the price to be paid for wheat
at any station, regardless Of the point
to which it may be shipped.
Working out the price which should
be paid for wheat at your station is
a fine occupation for an off day. If
you cannot find the answer, write to
the Food Administration Grain Cor
poration in New York City and its
traffic expert will give you aid.

WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW
Washington Shows Big Decrease In
Crime Under Prohibition.


Seattle, Wash.-Warden Drum, Of
the Washington state prison, shows
by his records that Prohibition de-
creases crime and therefore decreases
expense to the taxpayers.
According to the Warden's report,
442 prisoners were received in the'wet
year of 1914, and 412 in 1915, the
last wet year. In 1916, the first dry
year, the number dwindled to 235, and
in 1917 it was 239, but little more
than half as many for the first two
dry years as for the last two wet
years.
The Warden has also received re-
ports from the State Penitentiary in
Montana, California, Idaho and Ore
gon. The Montana and California
prisons, located in wet states, show
an increase in the number of prison
ers received during both of the past
two years, while the Idaho and Ore
gon prisons, both states under Pro-
hibition, show a decrease similar to
that shown in the Washington prison

Training Battalion Moved From Ar.
mory to Make Place For Saloon.
Cincinnati, Owen this wet city
is stirred over the opening of sa-
loon in the basement of the armory,
building erected by the taxpayers of
the country, and all the more deeply
stirred because, to make room for the
saloon, a battalion of training troops
of the Home Guard of Cincinnati were
compelled to leave their training
quarters and seek shelter elsewhere.
The National Bowling Congress met
in the armory, and the local licensing
board and the county commissioners
ousted the boys in training for the
defense of their country to make way
for temporary booze joint. The drys
entered protest, but it availed moth
ing, and while the Bowling Congress
was in session, the public building
sheltered the bar.
AS one disgusted citizen put it, eff
the training of American boys for
war interferes with the sale of beer,
stop the training"
Even Cincinnati resents the act, and
men formerly known as vets declare
this action exceeded the limit of pro-
priety and severely condemn it.
