pardon, sir, but I don't think Mr..
Baypes means the girl any good. I've
overheard enough to max me think

Hanson, TO fl his W ends, hit near
or the truth than he knew. He was
afraid that Baynes would interfere
with his own plans, and he had hit
upon a scheme both TO utilize h young
Engllshman and get rid Of him at the

Bwana stood in deep thought for q

you for keeping a watchful eye OF

Hanson hid a grin as he turned and
sought his saddle. Bwana stepped
from the veranda to his study, where
he found the Hon. Morrison pacing back
and forth, evidently very i'll at ease.
"Baynes," said Bwana, coming d.
rectly to the point, Hanson is leaving
for the north tomorrow. He has taken
n great fancy to you and just asked
me to say to you that he'd be glad to
have you accompany him. Good night,

early--in fact, he had remained all

he might get an early start.
The farewell exchanges between the
Hon. Morrison and his host were of the
most formal type, and when at last

possessing an army; we must think
Oh her as being an army-an army
IN which every factory and loom in
the Empire is recognized part in a
complete machine running night and
day at terrific speed. We must make
OF ourselves the same sort of effect
i've machine.
IL Is enough to ask what would
happen If every man in the Nation
turned his hand to effective work.
We must make ourselves effective.
we must organize for the future.
We must make vast Withdrawals for
the army and Immediately close up
the ranks of industry behind the gap
with an accelerating production of
every useful thing in necessary meas
ure. How is this to be done?
The answer is plain The first
step toward the solution of the diff
Guilty is to prohibit engagement by
able-bodied men in the field of hurt
full employment, and thus induce and
persuade the vast, wasted excess into
useful fields.
The very situation we are now CON
sidering, however, offers great posi-
bilities in Improvement of the draft
as well as great possibilities for the
composition of the labor situation by
effective administration of the draft.
Considering the selective service law,
we see two principal causes of defer
ment of the call to military service
exemption and the order numbers
assigned by lot. The exemptions
themselves fall into two conspicuous
Observation-Disclosures and indus
trial employment. One protects do
nestle relations, the other the eco
monte interests of the nation. Be
tween the two there is an inevitable
hiatus, for it is demonstrably true
that thousands, if not Millions of de-
tendency exemptions have no effect
of industrial protection whatever.
One of the unanswerable criticisms of
the draft has been that it takes men
from the farms and from all useful
employments and marches them past
crowds of idlers and loafers away to
the army. The remedy is simple
to couple the industrial basis with
other grounds for exemption and to
require that any man pleading eX-
emption on any ground shall show
that he is contributing effect
lively to the industrial welfare
of the nation.

NEW MILL-FEED MARGINS

A new schedule of maximum prices
which mills may charge for wheat by
products has been announced by the
U. S. Food Administration. The
margins show a general reduction
downward compared with those pre-
viously in force.
The maximum bulk price of bran
per ton bears the same relation to the
price of wheat as formerly-38 per
cent of the average cost to the mill
of ton of wheat. The price of flour
middlings which before was 50 per
ton over bran prices has been re-
duced to 50 dfferential. Red dog
has also been reduced to a maximum
of So per ton over the price of bran
whereas the former difference was
SIS.
Mixed wheat feed prices, accord
ing to the new schedule must not be
more than 1925 per ton over the
price of bran. The former difference
was 81 per ton. These new price
margins are the outcome of an in
yestigation into present methods Of
milling. With the larger percentage
of flour now being milled from wheat
the quantity of flour middlings and
red dog is considerably less and
- YN1o in
the same by-product group as shorts,
standard middlings, gray shorts and
gray middlings. The bulk price Of
all these feeds must not exceed bran
prices by more than 81 per ton.
Although these new price margins
are already in force, the Food Ad-
ministration emphasizes that they
are for bulk carloads at the mill.
Persons buying in small quantities
at retail should consider freight,
dealers profit and cost of sacks. The
last item alone is at present between
SIS and Sc per ton. Both jobbing and
retail profits have been limited, how
ever, to a moderate fixed maximum
and as soon as mill feeds now in
dealers hands have been moved, the
new stocks milled after May 7 will
reach farmers on the basis of the
schedule announced.
The total amount of wheat mill
feeds is admitted to be small in pro-
portion to the demand and the most
practical means of reducing feeding
costs lies in a more general use of
the coarse grain by-products, of
which there is now an abundance.
Mill prices of hominy feeds have late
ly declined by from $25 to $50 per
ton, rye and barley feeds in proper
ton. Oil meal is particularly low
in price when compared with other
feeds on a nutritiye basis.
Far-seeing farmers may advan-
tageously plan to secure their winter
supply of feed in September and Oc-
tober when danger Of spoilage is past
and avoid the uncertainty of deiiy-
cries during the winter when the
demand for feed usually exceeds the
output of the mills.
