Present Method Stimulates.

'It is evident that the present method
Of determining the price skosbu paid
for wheat has had the most stffnu-
1ating effect upon production. the es-
timated crop of spring wheat for this
year exceeding all high records in a
very remarkable and gratifying way.
BY an overwhelming majority of the
farmers of the United States the price
administratively hxed has been re-
garded as fair and liberal, and objec-
tions to it have come only from those
sections of the country where, un-
fortunately. it has in recent years
proved impossible to rely upon cli-
matte conditions to produce a full crop
of wheat and where, therefore. many
disappointments to the farmer have
proven to be unavoidable.
Personally. I do not believe that
the farmers of the country depend
upon the stimulation of price to do
their utmost to serve the nation and
the world at this time of crisis by
exerting themselves to an extraordi-
nary degree to produce the largest
and best crops possible. Their pa
worthy of all praise and has shown
them playing a most admirable and
gratifying part in the full mobiliza-
<tion of the resources of the country.
To very greatly increased produce
tion OF wheat they have added an in
creased production of almost every
other important grain. so that our
Eranaries are likely to overflow, and
the anxiety of the nations arrayed
against Germany with regard to their
food supplies has been relieved.

WHEAT SENATORS
HOPE TO OVERRIDE
Presidents Veto, However,
Likely to Receive Neces-
sary Support.
ACTION EXPECTED TODAY

Passage today of the twenty-eight-
million-dollar agricultural appro-
priation bill without the amend
ment guaranteeing minimum
wheat price of $40 bushel
was expected of both houses of
Congress following the action of
President Wilson yesterday in veto
ing the bill. Little difficulty was ex-
pected to be met in passing the bill
which has vigorously opposed the
$40 and the original $3.50 a bushel
minimum prices. House leaders made
this prediction.
In the Senate strong efforts were
planned by senators from wheat
growing states to block elimination
of the amendment Some of the SEN
ators who previously had supported
the amendment strongly on the floor
of the Senate were said to favor an
attempt to pass the bill over the
Presidents veto. Others. believing it
would be impossible to muster the
necessary two-thirds vote. were dis
posed to consider attaching the
amendment to the s11.0O0,00O emer-
gency agricultural appropriation bill.
which already has as rider the
national wartime prohibition pro-
vision.
President Wilson in vetoing the
wheat price amendment stated he did
not believe the farmers of the United
States depend upon a stimulation of
price to do their utmost to serve the
nation and the world at this time of
crisis" as they have shown them
selves playing a most admirable and
gratifying part in the full mobiliza-
tion of the resources of the country
A guaranteed price of $40 a
bushel, the President said, would in
crease the price of flour from $105O
TO $3.50 a barrel. with a total re-
sultant increase in price to consumers
of $SS7.000.Oo0 this year.

On the other hand. some of the op-
ponents of the resolution said they
saw no possibility of disposing of the
resolution before some time next
week. since large number of SEN
ators still desired to speak on 1t and
several amendments awaited action.

STRENUOUS EFFORT
INCREASE
WHEAT SUPPLY
Cooperative Extension Work
of The K. S. u. Has Started
A Campaign. Jas. Harth
appointed Chairman in
Breckenridge.

A noted English statesman said
recently that if the people of Amer
lea had failed to save this year that
England and France would have been
compelled to withdraw from the fight
and as a result the Allies would have
lost the war. This demonstrates the
importance of wheat and teaches us
that WHEAT WILL WIN THE
WAR
The government of the United
States realizes that the two most i'm
portant factors in winning the war
are men and food and so is drafting
the best manhood of the country for
the service in. the trenches and is cal
ling upon the farmers to produce the
maximum amount of food. There is
no better way for farmers to answer
this call for food than by sowing
this fall every acre to wheat that is
possible and to sow it with such care
that it will yield bountiful harvest.
The patriotic farmer will give no
thought to the price he will receive
for his wheat but will think only OF
the starving poor of Europe and our
boys in the trenches who are fighting
our battles and who must be fed.
Our boys are drafted into the army
by the Government and the wages
they shall receive, which may be the
wages of death, are fixed by the Gov
eminent and the boys do not spend
any time figuring whether they can
afford to fight our battles for these
wages. They know their country has
called them and they answer the call
without complaint or reservation.
Your country is asking you to raise
as much wheat as possible and you
will not spend any time figuring
whether you can afford to grow
wheat at the price fixed by the Gov
eminent. You should realize only
that your country has called you and
you will do your best for WHEAT
WILL WIN THE WAR.
No thought should be given to the
possibility of being unable to harvest
the wheat next year for the Govern
ment will permit no wheat to go to
waste but will find some means of
providing laborers for the harvest.
England has sent more than six
million men to fight her battles and
in spite of this will harvest this Fall
the largest wheat crop in her history.
What England has done-America
will do.
Every potriotic American citizen
salutes his flag when he rises in the
morning and says IL will this day
do my best to help win the war"
From now until wheat sowing time,

JUDGE SETTLE ADMITS HE HAS
DISREGARDED A LAW IN FORCE
FOR MORE THAN FORTY YEARS
Judge Henson Makes Red Hot Reply Showing That His
Opponent Is Not Eligible.

In a recent issue of this and other
papers, my opponent, Judge Settle,
published signed statement i'll
which he tries to get away from the
effect of an opinion given out by a
number of prominent lawyers in the
district that under the law he is not
resident of the district, by stating
that inspired the lawyers to make
the charge. The truth is a number
of lawyers and laymen in the dis
trict have been discussing his inelgi-
bility for many weeks, and this is
notably true of citizens of Warren
county, in which he claims to reside
Judge Settles signed statement was
in answer to an article which recently
appeared as a news item in the Hart
ford Herald, giving an interview
with several prominent attorneys who
took the position that Judge Settle
was not resident in the district and
was not eligible to reelection as
judge of the court of appeals. In an
effort to show that he resides in the
district, Judge Settle, in his state
ment, says that he has voted in War
rem county, and by reason of this he
claims that he is a resident of that
county. He may have voted there,
but if he has, that does not establish
his legal residence 1t is known by
everyone that many vote where they
have no legal right to do so. A per-
sons residence is not established by
his vote, but on the contrary, he OBJ
tains a right to vote after he has had
a fixed residence for certain length
of time. The facts are that Judge
Settle and family sold their home in
Warren county some fifteen years
ago and moved out of this appellate
district to Frankfort and there they
bought home and have resided there
every moment since. The consti-
tuition and laws of the state require
the judge to reside in the district,
but give him the right to remove
with his family temporarily to Frank
fort, provided he files and causes to
be recorded in the county clerks
Office of both counties a written state
ment showing that his removal to
Frankfort was only temporary and
that he retained his residence in the
county he moved from. Judge Settle
in his statement admits that this has
been the law for more than forty
years, and he also admits that he has
never complied with the law. He at
tempts to justify his action by saying
that this law has been largely dis
regarded by officials of the state" be-
cause he says this statute is merely
directory and not mandatory" In
my judgement this law is mandatory
for it provides that he SHALL file
and have recorded a written state
ment showing that his removal was
