thirty years.
HolzberE was commander OF the
palace guards At the summer palace

was then a crown prince and a guest
OF his cousin, the King of Neither
lands Wilhelm was Just twenty
three years old and displayed the ar.

to the world so frequently. Lieu
tenant Holzberg was the same age.
He had risen from the ranks to the
responsible post. commander Of the
palace guards. Holzberg won fame
in Netherlands when he drove 400
rioters from a room, sinEle-handed.

the truth OF Scott's immortal lines,

D. c. COAL CLAUSES
IN SUNDRY CIVIL
BILL MODIFIED

The provisions in the sundry civil
bill for Government coal yards in the
District have been modified.
One OF the provisions would have
compelled the District to pay half the
cost for the purchase. handling and
storage OF fuel, although the general
Government uses five-sixths of the
coal.
This language was eliminated and
at the same time there was stricken
out a provision under which the Gov
ernment would have taken over four
coal dumps here used by local coal
merchants. 1t was represented that
the taking over Of these dumps would
make il impossible TO provide the
needed amount OF fuel for domestic
consumers In Washington and for
local business houses.

Iutlu'i III 3 am lllil htL-
| ing was taking place. Uncle Sam
had started on this remarkable ex.
pertinent; he was going to see wheth-
er wheat could be marketed minus
rake-offs to the SPECTATORS. This
necessitated complete control by the
Government of storage facilities, trans
portation and distributive agencies,
and the marketing machinery for
wheat and rye.
Everybody was troubled; most of
all, the officials of the Food Admins
tration Grain Corporation who had
undertaken, without salary, and at the
sacrifice of their personal connection
with the grain trade, 10 whip into
shape the forces that would drive for
ward the big business machine for
marketing American wheat. A single
control; and a S50000,000 nonproiit-
making corporation to do the work.
This work Is necessary arm of the
Food Administration, allowing The
Government to do business quickly
and without red tape. Its stock is held
In trust by the President of the Unit
ed States. For the time of the war 1t
will supervise the rate or purchase
the part commercially available of the
660,000,000 bushels of wheat and the
100000 surplus Of rye grown in
America in 1917. Its Job is to find
market for every bushel, irrespective
of class and grade. Under its patron
age, wheat screenings are moving just
as easily as No. Northern. 1t must
also work out satisfactorily the local
prices for wheat at each of almost
10000 country elevator points, adjust

gathering and analysis of date, inspect
concerns reported as dealing unfairly,
solve vexatious dlsagreements among
the trade, and deal effectively with the

trails who may desire to purchase.
In the early days, following the de.
termination OF prices for 1917 wheat
by the Presidents Fair Price Commits
sion, confusion existed in every part of
the wheat-producing regions. This was
intensified by the Inauguration of the
new grain grades, as promulgated by
the Department of Agriculture, which
took place about the same times and
led to diverse complaints and feel

poration of the Food Administration
was responsible for both the price as
determined and stricter observance Of
grain grades. But the corporation was

at New York City was sos per bush
ell. Here is how he went about it:
The freight rate from Sikeston to
New York being 1G9S cents per BUSH
ell, he deducted that from $2.2S per
bushel and found the price at Sikeston
to be $2.1102. From this he deducted
per cent per bushel for the commits
sion firms charges, which put the net
price {. o. b. Sikeston at $4,000.
He next compared this price with
what he could get if he sold at st.
Louis, his nearest primary market. At
st. Louis the basic price is S21S per
bushel, and the freight rate from
Sikeston to st. Louis 6 cents per BUSH
ell. This would make the Sikeston
price SIP, less l cent per bushel for
selling charges, or $2.11 net. The st.
Louis price would therefore govern,
being advantageous to the Sikeston
seller.
If our imaginary 2 bushels of wheat
had started from Slkeston, since 1t was
No, 2 grade, we must deduct cents
per bushel, which would bring the
price I. o. b. the elevator point to
$20S02 per bushel. AS our imaginary
elevator man is charging 5 cents per
bushel for handling, which includes
the commission fee just mentioned. we
deduct an additional cents to arrive
at the price the farmer received. This
price would be $20402 at the elevator.
Some of that cents will return to our
farmer If the elevator prospers; for it
is owned comparatively.
When Farmer and Elevator Man Dis
agree.
Had this elevator been owned by pri-
vate firm or person, or had 1t been a
slime" plant, Col. jenkins would not
have been so bland and trustful.
He might have refused to sell at all
and arranged to store his wheat or ne
might have taken II over to COM
petltive concern which offered a high
er price; for the Food Administration
has not vet attempted to regulate the
prices paid farmers for wheat at coun-
try points. II does, however, offer to
sell for any farmer or farmers organ

points, but makes commission charge
