CROWDED AUTO BUS TURNS
OVER, IAJURING TWO GIRLS
Oliver Loading Company's Employees
Badly Shaken Up In Accident
Near Jamesburg.

Bv Special CORRESPONDENT.
JAMESBURG, Aug. 20-An auto
truck used to transport employees
from this place to the Oliver Loading
Company's plant at Runyon. turned
partly over Monday night shortly af-
ter fv o'clock when nearing the
borough line on the Helmetta road
at the foot of Lincoln avenue and
was slightly damaged.
In the car at the time were about
thirty employees of the Loading COM
pany on their way home and that
fatal injuries were not received by
many was considered miraculous. But
two of the girls were injured and their
hurts were slight. Miss Barbara Ko-
line received a lacerated limb and
scratches on her arm and Miss Stella
Demetski, also of this place, received
but minor bruises.
The two girls were riding on the
overloaded. The capacity Of the bus
Is said to be eighteen and with the
extra load the W. girls, were forced
20 ride on the steps In the rear.
When the car swerved from the road
IN the sandy spot they were thrown
under the side of the a that sank
Into the mire at that point. This
probably saved them from serious
injury. Ropes were attached to the
car and when it was nearly righted
the hysterical fares were lifted from
their perilous positions.
The other girls In the car became
hysterical when the machine turned
over and some climbed through the
open windows and their cries attract
ed q large crowd from town. The
glass windows were broken and sew
eral attempted to get through but
were restrained.
The machine was pulled out after
six O'Clock and taken to a garage,
where the damage was found to be a
broken gas tank and other minor
hurts.
AT this point in the road numerous
cars have left the road and entered
the swamp. There is a slight Incline

PRESENTATION OF AUTO
TO REV. r. j. BURNS

On Monday evening, April 1, at the
Knights of Columbus club rooms, 42S
South Eighth street, Rev. Francis
Burns, recently of the Cathedral,
but now Chaplain at Fort Smelling,
was presented with an auto. The chair
man of the committee, J. C. Sheehan,
in very few well-chosen remarks, pre-
sented to the assemblage J. L. Murphy,
Grand Knight of the Hennepin-Minne-
apolis Council, who presented to Rev.
Burns the auto, which will be used by
him in fulfilling his many duties as
army chaplain at Fort Smelling.
Father Burns spoke very feelingly
of the presentation, and he states that
he felt very grateful for the many
courtesies rendered him during his
time at the Pro-Cathedral and that he
appreciated very much the honor con-
ferred on him by being appointed as
army chaplain at Fort Smelling.
He went into detail as to his duties
and it was readily seen that he needs
machine to do justice to his we'll
known zeal and energy.
Speeches were also made by F. A.
Gross. Capt. Foley, Rev. Pilger, of the
Pro-Cathedral. A light luncheon was
then served in the banquet hall.

When the prisoners were being re-

drove the crowd back with their

crowd armed themselves with hurleys
and sticks and returned to the scene.
The soldiers were then drawn around

to be carried one by one, were re-

State Food Administration Issues Call
for Larger Acreage Both for
Profit and Patriotism.
Says Wheat Price Is Sure Thing
Besides, Big Crop Means Backing
the Boys Who Have Been Sent to the
Front to Fight.

The Federal Food Administration for
Minnesota, is issuing call for larg.
er acreage of spring wheat. 1t makes
the following statement of world needs
the basis for the call:
The United States, Canada, and the
Allies (England, France, Italy and Bel
gium) in 1917 produced 100000, 600
bushels less wheat than they needed
Shipping is so limited and so badly
needed for other products that wheat
cannot be brought from more distant
points where there is surplus, such
as Argentina, Australia and India
This has made very rigid economy in
the use of wheat necessary. 1t is not
likely the Allies can produce more in
1918 than in 1917, because their pro-
duction has continually decreased since
the war began so that in 1917 they
produced 15O,0OO,O0O bushels less than
their average production for five years
before the war. If they produce as
much in 1918 as in 1917 they will need
to import between 0,00O,0OO and 60O,
100000 bushels to supply normal de-
mands. The United States is about
$500 miles from England and France;
Argentina is about $500 miles distant;
India is about 10000 miles away, and
Australia 12,500 miles.
1t is evident then that if there is
any scarcity of ships, the more wheat
surplus we have in the United States
the better it will be for all concerned.
The Outlook In the United States.
In 1917 the United States produced
about 65o,o0o,000 bushels, with a sur
plus of about 50,000,O00 bushels above
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1918-04-06
MORE wheat IS A GOOD BUSINESS

our own needs. In 1917 the winter
els and the spring wheat belt produced
232 900, 900 bushels The outlook for
winter wheat last December lst indi-
Gated a probable yield of 540,O0O,O0O
bushels. 1t may be more, or less. At
any rate much more spring wheat will
lie needed than can be produced, so
that every acre or land in the spring
wheat belt that is suitable for spring
wheat and that can be handled rea-
sonably well should be seeded to that
crop. 1t, of course, is not wise from
the standpoint Of the individual
farmer to SOW wheat on land that will
produce a materially better crop of
something else or SOW wheat on a
farm not equipped to handle the crop
economically.
Prices and Profits.
: Present prices for wheat are not so
attractive as prices for the coarse
grains. The S2.17 per bushel guar
anteed price for 1918, is high enough
70 make the growing Of wheat decid-
edly profitable with fair crop. At
present no one has authority to set
. price Oil the coarse grains. There
viii undoubtedly be some authority
given by Congress for the readjust-
ment of prices between wheat and the
coarse grains Certainly no sane
committee Of men would. in the face
Of the present need for wheat, adjust
prices unfavorably to wheat, so in
planting wheat the producers will be
accepting a sure thing so far as the
price is concerned. 1t would seem,
in view of these facts, that the out
look for raising wheat on good wheat
land is as promising as the outlook
for any other crop and besides this,
the patriotic appeal to furnish bread
for the millions who need it, is very
strong. 1t is doubtful if the farmers
CT the Northwest can make greater
contribution to their country, or to
