Good News For Farmers

The following message has been
received from Food Administrator
Alfred Atkinson, from Washington:
"The advance in freight rates
on June "a will in justice to the
farmers necessitate an advance in
the price of wheat at the principal
Mississippi Valley and Eastern
terminals, a few cents per bushel.
The advance will be worked out
SO as to equalize as far as may be
possible the loss that the farmer
would otherwise incur through
the Increase in rates. Details of
rate advances will probably not
be known until June 25, at which
date we are assembling commit
tee of traffic experts to consider
what actual advance in price is
necessary in compensation. It is
impossible to complete such plan
for a few days after the above
date. It is our intention as far as
the peculiar character of the rate
advance enables us to do so, to
work out a plan that will leave the
same intrinsic position that he
was in before that date"

should be plunged into the excitement of an

legal life OF the House of Commons expired
