FLOUR STOCKS ARE LOW
Only One.Third Normal Supply is
Available for Home Con-
sumption.

The total wheat and flour stocks in
this country on March were 176,411,-
500 bushels. From this supply the
United States must feed itself and
share with the Allies. who require OF
Us 75.ODn.0O0 bushels between March
and the next harvest. During the
same period this nation would normal
iy consume 2O0,00O,OO0 bushels OF
wheat.
To send to the Allies their require
ments Is viewed as an absolute MILL
tary necessity. Stopping the export
Of wheat would be more disastrous
than stopping supplies Of ammunition.
The morale Of troops that cannot be
broken down by the pounding of the
German army could be broken by a
bread famine In the field and at home.
Sending the Allies their require
ment. which will be done at all costs,
will leave available for home consump-
tion about one-third what is normally
used. That Is why the Missouri d.
vision OF the United States Food Ad.
ministration is urging every person
who can to eliminate wheat products
from his diet entirely.

THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC

THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC
The St Louis Republic may be 100
per cent American, but it lacks Il
great deal of being 100 per cent
Democratic. No same man in the
United States doubts for one moment
these gentlemen would give the last
the loyalty of either Senator Will
fey or Mr.. Folk. Either one Of
drop of blood in his body for his
country. The whole thing is, the
Republic is playing havoc as usual
with the Democratic party in this
state, and if the Republican candi-
date is elected this fall. 1.-THE Re-
public, will be responsible for it. 1t
will be recalled that it was not the
St Louis Republics fault that Mr..
Hughes did not carry Missouri.
Had Mr. Hughes carried Missouri.

dent.

WHY REPUBLICANS WANT FOLK

WHY REPUBLICANS WANT FOLK
From Republican standpoint,
the nomination of Folk is desirable.
All good Republicans who look to
the success of the party at the Nov
ember election should lend their ef-
forts and aid to the former Cover
nor.
The reason for this is almost too
simple to be repeated. Gov. Folk
is, and has been, an asset to the Re-
publican party. The first time the
Republicans won a success in Mis-
souri, in about half century was
through the election of Gev. Had
ley, following a Folk success. Co.
ing back Of that time, we find that
after Folk had made his spectacu-
lar success as Circuit Attorney here
he was succeeded by Republican.
The Republican opportunity now
exists. BY reason of the fact that
Folk and Wiley are making the
nomination fight personal matter.
a party split is already here. The
nomination of Folk gets out of the
way of the Republicans their most
menancing obstacle. Mr.. Wilson
has declared in a broad sense for the
men now on their jobs at Washing
ton. If Wiley is nominated he
has this executive pronouncement
back of him. If Folk is nominated,
the Republicans will he on an even
basis in having candidate. who
like Folk, is not now in Congress
OF course Judge Spencer is in war
work which is another advantage
While no Republican would admit
that he is seeking to nominate Folk.
1t is clearly the logic of the situa-
tion that that party should leave
nothing undone to bring about Folks
nomination by honorable means.
From St Louis Times of recent
date,
While this paper has been in the
beginning for Mr.. Folk, but from re-
cent utterances and from the intense
interest taken by the Republicans
regarding the candidacy of Mr..
Folk. we cannot but see the hand
writing on the wall The extract
above is SO strong that it would al
most insure the staunch support of
the Democratic party to the candi
dacy to Senator Whitley. For the
interest of the Democratic party we
think there could be no safer way
to insure victory than to rally to
the support of the Senator.

NINTH DISTRICT FIRST
Northwest Leads All in Reaching
Liberty Lean Quota.
Was Last to Start Campaign But Al
iotment Is Reached Before
All Others.

Minneapolis, April 23.-Last Of al
the federal reserve districts to start
it's THIRD Liberty Loan sales campaign
the Ninth Federal Reserve district has
registered in Washington as the first
of all the districts to report that il
had oversubscribed it's quota.
The Ninth district, which started its
campaign nine days after all the other
districts had begun to sell bonds
came sweeping down the stretch.
passed the sos, 000, 600 mark set by
Secretary McAdoo as the minimum for
this district, passed the $125,000, 000
mark set by A. R. Rogers, when he
apportioned the third loan bonds by
states, and at last reports the Ninth
district had gone galloping past the
$4,000 600 mark.
To be exact, the grand total for the
Ninth district, including Minneapolis,
St. Paul and Duluth, was S137,141,500
Cheering as this figure is in itself,
it does not tell all the story by any
means of what this district has done,
because there is nj gertrude that the
Ninth district intends to pause at this
figure. 1t was still in flight when
this total was checked up and several
million dollars more are likely to be
added before "fnis" is written on the
third Liberty Loan in this Northwest
section.

Washington, April 2S.-Presidant
Wilson has come out in opposition to
the Chamberlain bill which would try
violations Of the sedition law by
court-martials, and in a letter to
Senator Overman Of North Carolina
declared his belief that tn measure
is unconstitution.
If enacted, the president declared,
the bill would place the United States
on a level with its enemies.
Enactment Of the Chamberlain bill
has been urged before the Senate
military committee as necessary tc

opposition to its passage has
been developing and Senator Borat
has sought support Of Senate leaders
in his efforts to defeat it. The bill

signed after, it was said, his advocacy

eral grant Of power to r%eorganize
government departments.
Presidents Letter.
The Presidents letter follows:
"My Dear Senator:-Thank you for
your letter of yesterday. I am heart
lily obliged to you for consulting me
about the court martial bill. as per-
haps I may call it for short. I am
wholly and unalterably opposed to
such legislation and very much value
the opportunity you give me to say
so. | think it is not only unconstitu-
tional but that in character it would
put us nearly upon the level of the
very people we are fighting and af-
fecting to despise. 1t would be alto
gether inconsistent with the spirit
and practice of America and in view
Of the recent legislation, the espion.
age bill, the sabotage bill and the
woman spy bill, I think it it unnec.
essary and uncalled for.
II take the liberty, my dear senat.
or, of expressing myself in this EN-.
phatic way because my feeling is
very deep about the matter as I gath.
er your own is.
Thanks Senator For Work.
1T is admirable the way you have
been handling these important bills
and I thank you with all my heart
for standing by the bill which bears
your name without any compromise
of any kind.
ut gives me the greatest satisfac.
ton to tell how much 1 have appre.
ciated what you have been doing.
CORDIALLY and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON,
Senator Borah renewed his opposi
ton to the Chamberlain bill in the
Senate today, charging that "politica,
Pharisees" supporting it before the
Senate military committee had given
the impression that Americas farm.
ing population is disloval. Farmers
he said. are as loyal as others and
are buying unusually large amounts
of Liberty bonds.

Despair In Austria.

Washington, April 23.-The feeling
in Austria is one of despair despite
the claims that Germany is making
as to what the offensive will accom-

The situation In the dual monarchy,
according to the dispatch, presents
many p~erpleXities for the government.
I'm spite Of all the sensation the
Germans are making in Austria about
their offensive" says the dispatch,

citation OF the painful situation with
which the monarchy Is struggling"

rain which has fallen over North Da-
kota is estimated to be worth $4,000,-
900 to the state by Commissioner Of
"a good start is generally considered
worth at least two bushels to the acre
of any CROP" said Mr.. Hagan in dis
cussing the crop situation in the state.
| "The normal acreage of wheat in
North Dakota is about $780, 900 acres
and this year the wheat acreage is
abnormal. More than half of the
wheat acreage is already in the
| ground. This means that the rain
of the last few days has fallen on at
least 100000 acres of wheat. An
increase of bushels to the acre will
mean at least 100000 bushels Of
| wheat which, at 50 per 5ushel, is
worth $14,0OO,00O to the state at
large"

Being in charge Of the complaint de-

a rather amusing incident occur a few
days ago. The blank used in filing a
complaint required answers to about a
dozen questions, as, for example, date
of mailing, contents, nature Of com
plant, as loss, damage or rifing. A
young lady came to the window and
explained that she was to receive a
parcel containing medicine from an
out-of-town doctor, and same was long
overdue, according to advices regard
ing shipment received from the doctor.
So I proceeded to have her answer
the several questions on the blank
mentioned. When l read the ques-
lions, nature Of complaint, she replied,
