J. ThomaSon Brown & CO.
The engineers were down here
sometime ago and looked over every
available sits e~tween Richmond and
Fort Lee on the north side Of the
river and every available site be-
tween Richmond and Petersburg on
the Southside. They particularly
wanted a water front and ths Bell

The concern OF J. Thompson Brown
&c Co also put through the deal for
the big aviation warehouse site near
Fulton. IT was thought Mt first that
this site could be extended and turn al
into n regular training camp for air
men. It had the advantage OF sew
ers and water. being connected up
with the city systems The en-
gineers, however. decided that the
country was too rolling and that the
site on the other side OF the river
would be better even If sewers and
water mains had tu be installed.

SENATOR GORE ASKS
FOR WHEAT AT $3.50
Food Control Law Raising
Price From So Bushei.

WASHINGTON, Feb. t3,--Senator
Gore. OF Oklahoma, put in an amend
ment to the food control law today
raising the price OF wheat from So as
fixed by law. to $3.50 per hushel. At
the same time, Senator McCumber. of
North Dokato, offered an amendment
increasing the price to s2.G5.
Senator Gore. who is chairman of
the agricultural committee, said later
he was afraid his amendment would
not succeed.
But it should" he declared. Some
people say it would increase the price
of bread. But it's better to have
bread at ten cents than no bread at
all And this amendment insures
wheat production. At present in my
state corn sells for sl.75 TO $3.50 and
wheat for s1,S5 to S1.s2, Three
bushels of corn can be raised for the
cost of raising one bi>>bel of wheat.
So you see what will happen unless
there IL some change"
Senator Sterling. of South Dakota.
also said that s2.50 would be a fair
price, because labor is so high and
the price OF farm materials, and ma
chinery has increased SO largely.
