admitted that the movement in Congress
to advance the price of wheat was strong
ly sponsored by Congressman with rura
constituencies. The farm vote is very
considerable, and there is an election next
fall. Indeed, remarks The New York
Tribune, Inevitably the price of wheat
will become a politicaP issue. We have

w On the Wane
"When the began the sheep industry
had been for several years in declining
condition. The supply exceeded the demand
Wool was selling for twenty cents pound or
less, while a good eve could be purchased
for two or three dollars. The land used for
grazing was being rapidly taken up by home
steaders, and for ten years, from 1904 to 1914,
the number of sheep in the United States
decreased by nearly a million annually.
"Of the worlds population eight hundred
millions wear silk or cotton, six hundred
millions dress in wool and few millions
adorn themselves in fur feathers, while
the remainder, natives of tropical countries,
are lightly clad in little more than coat

about six hundred million sheep in the world

When President Wilson set the price of
wheat he settled the present agitation for
q higher price Of wheat, but judging from
press comment he did not settle the issue
of price fixing. Indeed, the farmer has
found a number of champions for at least
two reasons. One is that he is being dis
eliminated against. He is denied the
highest prices for his staple product, but
prices run riot on those things which he
nas to buy On the other hand, imitation
of the currency is now carrying prices up
at rate unknown in fifty years, accord
ing to The New York Tribune, and so the
farmer, held down on the price for his
wheat, is doubly Disseminated against
when he comes to buy.
Other expressions of dissatisfaction
with price fixing are not wanting What
higher fixed price for wheat will do to
corn is shown by "The Oklahoma City
Cklahoman." If higher price were to
be fixed for wheat, says this Journal "the
price Of corn would go leaping forward
until it was as far ahead Of the new wheat
price as it is of the present price. The
dilemma would be unchanged, the only
difference being that a new and higher
scale of food prices would prevail"

begin before this article is in print!
Doubt of German Western offensive
takes many forms. 1t is pointed out, for
example, that two years ago the Verdun
attack was at its height, and started in
the midst Of very bad weather. Yet the
corresponding period this year has seen
ideal weather on the Western front And,
to outward appearances, the attack has
been about to break. Aerial activity has

when the spaciousness and refine

bluntly put, means that some per-
