=, being forbidden, the mill
operatives became curious and made
inquiries. This wheat was part Of a
large supply which the Grain Corpora
ton had brought into the United States
to aid in keeping the American mills
running.
There was another reason. Domes.
tic wheat was not moving from the
farms as freely as the millers needed
it, and shortage forced the mills to
operate at a great disadvantage and,
according to them, at higher costs.
The last journey stage of our first
bushel, although considerably changed
in Its form, was to go as flour to port
under rush orders. 1t now had right
of way over all other classes of freight
except other munitions of war. Con-
sent of the War Trade Board being
obtained, it was loaded on ship and
passed safely through the submarine
field to France, where it succored the
hungry.
We started out to follow the travels
of two bushels Of wheat from the farm
to their points of consumption under
war condition with the U. S. Food Ad'
ministration in control of the market
ing. have previously discussed the
journeys of these two bushels from
the farm to the elevator at the country
point. Here they parted and one OF
them passed on to terminal, and
from the terminal to a mill and from
the mill to seaboard There it went to
France for consumption.

HOOVER AGAINST
HIGH WHEAT PRICE

Food Administrator Herbert C.
Hoover announced in the Washing
ton Post today that the full power
and influence of the Administration
would be used, II necessary, to pre-
vent the enactment of any Of the
bills pending in congress to increase
the price of wheat for the crop of
1918. Mr.. Hoover gives out the
statement that the agitation for
higher price for his years wheat
crop Is checking the flow of wheat
to the terminals and to the mills
and threatens to stop it entirely.
Under the proposed raises, he con-
tend enormous profits would go to
distributors who hold millions Of
bushels of wheat and millions of
barrels Of -four, and that farmers
would bet very little Of these pro-
fits. The wisdom and justice Of
Communicating for the government
at present prices all the millions of
bushels of wheat and all the mil
ions of barrels Of flour held by dis
tributors, seems difficult for Mr..
Hoover to understand. 1t would
be an easy matter for the Food Ad-
ministratton to prevent any large or
unreasonable profits on the part Of
the middlemen, If the Food Admin
istration really set about in earnest
to do this. The Food Administra-
ton has been altogether too solicit
tous about protecting the profits of
the miller and the distributor and
too Indifferent as to whether the
price received by the farmer nets
him a profit or loss. The fact Is,
Food Administrator Hoover does
not seem to be greatly concerned
about the farmer, as long as it ap-
pears to him that the farmer will
keep drudging away. The prices
Of the products Of other Industries
which the wheat farmer must buy.
continue to soar akyward. There
has been a great deal Of talk to
the effect that these prices ought to
be controlled, but what Is the Food
Administrator, or anybody else for
that matter in authority, doing to
correct the inequalities which are
80 evident? Nothing much but
talking. Six to ten dollars day is
being paid and approved by the
Industries less necessary to the sue
CESS OIL tuo Wdr tldH Luo AuuusIAy
Of wheat raising. I have wondered
whether Mr.. Hoover or any other
official Of the Food Administrator
could make a profit on raising
wheat at 1920 a bushel, even in
the richest wheat raising region Of
the United States, If he were obliged
to pay anything approaching the
same price per hour for labor that
is being paid by -four mills, rail-
roads, steel plants, or ship building
yards throughout the country.

STOLEN HORSES RETURNED

Grenora Examiner: e. w. Gun
ther received a pleasant surprise
Tuesday OF last week, when the
five horses, which. were stolen from
him one week BEFORE, we're driven
home, the last twelve miles over
the same trail as Mr.. Gunther had
tracked the rustlers after the theft.
The sheriff's Office got busy and
as stated some time ago, a warrant
was issued for one suspect. Mr..
Gunther had also offered big re-
ward and thoroughly advertised
the theft. He fully expected to re-
cover his property and bring the
culprits to justice; but he did not
expect the horses would be brought
home to him.
One Frank Bellmoro, who rested
his saddle hose in Antelope en-
route to Mr.. Gunther's with the
horses, stated that they had strayed
to his place after having followed
a rider from the vicinity of Mr..
.Gunther's farm. He didn't know
Of any special inducement they had
for following, but did not expect to
collect the full reward as advertised.
It has not been learned at this
writing whether or not Mr.. Gunther
saw fit to pay the reward or IL he
intends to continue securing evi-
dence for prosecution.

ATTENDS REQ CROSS
STATE MEETING

Mrs Ole G. Frosaker, field secre-
tary of the Burke county chapter Of
the American Red Cross, attended
a conference Of the Northern Divi-
sion officials at Fargo on the 22nd,
inst. Manager F. F. Heffelfinger
and eight of his assistants in the
Minneapolis headquarters attended
the meeting, and each Of the dir
ectors made short addresses. telling
of the actual work being done in
the headquarters, and through the
district. In the afternoon confer
ences were held in various halls in
Fargo, presided over by different
directors. In the evening a mass
meeting was held in the auditorium,
addressed by Major C. E. Forth Of
Winnipeg, who had seen two years
of active service in France.
Mrs. Frosaker and R. H. Farmer
were the only representatives Of
Burke county at the conference,
which was attended by about 800
delegates from all over the state.
She obtained first hand informa-
tion on methods or work, materials,
patterns, and the present needs.
which will be of great value in the
work rooms of the different
branches in Burke county.
The county has been asked to
furnish between now and April 1st,
fifty refugee house dresses. Pat
terms can be bought at dry goods
stores. She will have sample
garment in a few days, and also a
sample of the aviator's vests. made
from old leather
The school work in this county
will from now on be in charge of
Supt. l.. l.. Hyde, with whom Mrs.
Frosaler will cooperate.
1t seems impossible in general
newspaper interview to answer ali
the inquiries which may suggest
themselves to the workers In the
branches, so Mrs. Frosaker asks
that anyone having questions write
to her and she will gladly answer.
Later she will make a trip through
the count to visit the work rooms,
and probably help in organizing
several auxiliaries In communities
located at some distance from the
railroad, where there is an organi-
zation of some kind which can be
used as the center around which to
build the auxiliary.

SECOND DRAFT MAY
COME IN APRIL

Washington, Feb. 2S.-While
war department officials seiterate
that no date has definitely been fix
ed for the calling of the second
draft for the national army, all
available outward Indications would
seem TO point to some time during
the month Of April or at the latest
early in May.
Such an estimate Is based on the
known preparations for equipping
and housing the men. 1t is no mil
itary secret that equipment and
supplies for men Of the second
draft will become available soon af-
ter April l, and some careful OBJ
servers look for the first increments
to be called soon afterward.
The number Of men to be called
in the first increment has not yet
been determined because the prob
lem Of housing them has not been
disposed Of There will be room
for some Of them in camps and can
tonments now occupied by troops
and it is possible that additiona!
cantonments may have to be pro
vided. 1t Is also possible that some
of the national guard camps may be
used during the period.
This phase Of the subject is be-
ing given careful >tudy, but nothing
has been decided.

No one here is now. kicking on
the kind of weather Burke county
has been favored with during the
past ten days. About half of the
snow is already gone, and more is
going almost every day. The
weather has been just about right
for working outside, and the farm
ers have been catching up with
their winters work. The roads are
in about as good a condition as they
ever were at this time Of the year,
and automobiles are able to go most
anywhere. In some places the
roads are even dusty. From the
present looks of things there will
not be any large amount of water
standing in the low places when the
snow all thaws, as the ground Is
just about dry enough to alb. orb all
the moisture as fast as the snow
forms water.
