FARMERS ADVISED
TO STORE WHEAT

On account Of tho delay In the move.

casioned by the congestion Of various
terminal markets In the shipment OF
wheat consigned to the Food Admins
tratlon Grain corporation. the state
food administration advises farmers to
store their wheat. ft
The general policy of the food nd.
minlstrution has been to purchase
wheat rather thnn -four. The grain
wheat on the basis Of fixed minimum
terminal market price. has been receiv.
Ing most of the wheat entering the
primary markets. Some days govern.
ment receipts have even exceeded 1000
cars Mt the principal grain 4ceuters.
As the peak-load was approaching
II was found that the movement Of
wheat from the terminals was slower
than Its receipt, and consequently Q
halt was declared. The grain control
committee handling the shipments Of
wheat for the food administration de.
clared an embargo upon the wheat en-.
tering the primary markets. A few
days later the permit system was
adoptedy and shippers must now file
an application for permit In order to
make shipment. Permits are being
granted rather slowly, as the problem
of handling the vast accumulation Of
wheat at the terminals,is i great one.
Country storage IL encouraged. and
the grain corporation has already
authorized certain Utah elevators to
store wheat on government account,

Significance and points to the fact that
difficulties are encountered In the
handling Of the food supply as well as
In combating the German army.
On account of the price Of wheat be-
Ing standardized. farmers everywhere
have shown disposition to release
their wheat, and on an average, half
of the wheat of Utah has already
found market, according to the re-
port Of Mr.. Greene. The movement
has been very rapid in Tooele, Juab.
and Utah counties on account Of the
early harvest season.

UTAH MAKES GOOD RECORD;
SHOULD BETTER II NEXT YEAR

Following the announcement that
Utnh has gone magnificently over the
top In her sugar beet production, the
federal food administration Is sending
out a statewide appeal for even a
greater production next year. The beet
growers Of the state, 1t Is declared, are
producing one Of the most seriously
needed war time food products
sugar. The fact that the increased
production will be sufficient for the
1018-1910 sugar requirements 10 de-
clared by Utah food officials to be
significant. It means. that Utah has
responded to a government wartime
call for help In concrete, definite
way that brings great credit to the
state; that this commonwealth ID able
to sSy to Uncle Sam:
I'VE are turning over to you for use
wherever II may be needed an amount
Of sugar equivalent to our entire pro-
duction In previous years. Our In.
creased production will be enough for
our own home needs.
Every citizen Of the stats must, Il II
believed. be proud Of this record.
For the benefit Of beet growers Of
the state, the federal food officials
have cited the following facts which

 By holding Germany and delaying her, march to Paris until France could gather for the blow and Eng land could bring her little army to the contest, Belgium saved France and suffered martyrdom. But she won an undying name in all history. The little country lost her all but saved her soul.
 The American Red Cross is asking this week throughout America that each one of us do something for Bel gium. Our Bridgeport Chapter asks in the name of the Red Cross that you do this something. Lay aside your disused clothing and the Red Cross will come to your home and get 1t if you send 1t word to call, or better yet you carry it to the Red Cross. This clothing is needed to protect the refu- gees of Belgium from the rigors oi the coming winter. This appeal comes to you. Give and give quickly and take the clothing or send your word to the Bridgeport Chapter, American Red Cross, and you will have helped clothe the destitute and the sufferine poor. God help them!

CREWS OF. OUR
 SHIPS WILL BE
 PAID OVERTIME
New Set of Rules Issued By Shipping Board Regulat-
 ing Hours of Labor.

Washington, Oct. 7-Sailors man. ming the ships of Americas new mer- chant marine will be paid extra for overtime work at sea under a new set of rules issued by the United States Shipping Board to regulate the hours of labor and working conditions of officers and men, In a general way these rules confirm practices already in effect on vessels of the Emergency Fleet Corporation but the overtime principle is officially recognized on the seas for the first time in history.
 In cases of emergency when the captain calls for "all hands on deck to face danger. the overtime rule is automatically suspended. Then every l man must work and work his best for thee ommon safety. No overtime will then be paid and there will be no ap- peal from the captains order to work | This Is virtually the only rule of ser. vice at sea that survives the pre-wal 1 days.
 l The rules establishes an efficiency schedule, exact in its requirements | yet designed to be fair to every man Each is able to tell, by reference tc | his rules, just where he stands witf his employer; he knows just what hi | board and lodging are to consist of just what hours of duty he will hav' and what time for leisure; just wha differences there will be in his work ing time in port and in the high seas and just how much he will be paid fo
 overtime work.
 The character of a seaman's bunl
 is exactly prescribed as an iron pip
 bed, painted, with a steel spring or , slung canvas bottom. This bed mus
 be sanitary and have no cracks no
 joints. The sailor is supplied wit
 suitable bedding prescribed by tn
 rules and his only duty with regar
 to sleeping facilities is to see tha
 they are kept clean. Well ventilate
 washrooms with basins and a bat
 and shower baths are provided fo both the fireroom forces Q and cre7
 proper.
 The regulations prescribe hours c
 duty for mates both at sea and in pol
 and provide for the payment of extr compensation for duties done outsid , the regular hours. The captain, mas ter of the ship, of course remain theoretically on duty all the time an rules are not made for his conduct.

TALKED TO CRANE MEN.

Two metings at the Crane Com pany's Main street plant, yesterday, were addressed by Captain J. Milton State, who served with the British forces in France.
 Captain State told the workers that the people of the civilized world look ed toward America to bring the war to the one acceptable conclusion victory for the Allied forces. He said that the working people of this coun- try would have as much glory and credit for the victory as the soldiers who are now fighting in France, as the men over there could not com plete the task without the aid of the people over here.

VIENNA PRESS VERY HOPEFUL

Amsterdam. Oct. - Dispatches from Vienna show Austrian news papers to be deeply impressed with the importance of the peace move made by the Central Powers and filled with hope for it's success.
 The Frendenblatt, however, has doubts, saying:
 We must reckon with everything and must be armed for all events"
 Never before was it necessary to look forward to coming events with such determination" says the Neue Freie Press ''It is not military neces- sity which forces the monarchy to make such concessions.'
 The Abenblatt hopes President Wilson, whose declarations certainly were seriously meant, will not hesi- tate to seize the hand that is stretched forth, and show the word that he in- tends to realize the ideas he has laid before it in his speeches"
