All of which means this, that in the
Christmas drive for Red Cross mem
bership we have to January 5th, 1900
members with something like 638
members still in good standing from
last summer who did not advance their
dues giving us an active and actual
membership for this Chapter of 2538
not counting any Junior Red Gross
which is a school childs organization
and not to be counted in regular Chap
ter organization as it is separate and
distinct.
A great many new members have
joined since this date.
By the purchase of yarns and cloth
to the amount of $3A47.85 we have
shipped to the Central Branch of Red
Cross finished articles valued at more
than $4,000 which has cost to make
the total expenditure aside from the
raw material of $87766. The women
of Grand Rapids and Nekoosa, Vesper,
Pittsville and Rudolph doing all the
work free of any cost whatever.
That we pay no one for services in
this Chapter except the young lady
stenographer and the janitor and the
Elks give us the use of the hall by our
paying one-half the coal bill which is
more than liberal as we use the build
ing great deal more than they would
We are proud of the showing and
thank all for their great support with
out which this never could be accom-
plished.

WHEAT PRICES

Recent publicity regarding tbs
price of wheat being paid the farm
ers OF Colorado appears to be Great
ing confusion.
I The President fixed the price OF
wheat at s2.20 per bushel for the
1917 crop. The Act of Congress
August 10. 1917. fixed the minimum
price at s2.00 per bushel for the
Z 1918 crop. Under the same Act the
President had conferred on him the
right to fix rules and regulations.
He created the United States Grain
Corporation and entrusted them with
the handling of this matter.
The United States Grain Corpora
tIon fixed the receiving points at
which the wheat would be purchased.
There are eighteen of these so-called
receiving points. and these which re-
ceive the wheat from Colorado are
located at Kansas City. Omaha and
Chicago.
The prices fixed by the Grain Cor
poration are: at Chicago. S2.26; at
Kansas City and Omaha. s2.1S. The
price promulgated by the Grain Cor
poration for inter-mountain basis is
s200. the difference being made up
by the freight or cost of transpor-
tation.
II is. therefore. clear that farmers
delivering wheat in Colorado will re-
ceive on the basis of $500 per busheI
II the farmer choose to load his
wheat on cars and ship 1t himself
cleaned and prepared. according to
the rules existing. he will receive the
full price of 5000 delivered at rail-
road points in Colorado less In some
cases one percent commission order

The farmer, except in the rarest
instances. does not produce from the
thresher marketable product, which
win obtain the full price.
To clean the wheat, to produce the
product stipulated, he must call to his
assistance plants constructed for this
nurpose. II the farmer elect to have
his wheat cleaned at Kansas City,
Omaha or Chicago, the Grain Cor
poration will take charge of 1t and
account to the farmer for the full
prize less dockage.
II the farmer elect. however, to
deliver his wheat to the pearest ele-
vator. which is the usual procedure,
this dockage is supplemented by
cleaning charge which the elevator
must obtain to pay II for handling.
treatment, interest, apd other charg-
es. such as are a necessary part of
anv business.
The Grain Corporation has sug-
gested this charge as between five and
eight cents Der hushel. but it did not
make an absolute rule on account

at the various elevators.
The actual prices which have been
paid to farmers by the elevators and
the mills receiving the wheat have
varied. but on an average are s1.92
to S196 per bushel.

TREE ADOPTS MIDGET CHILD
currant Bush Thrives In Crotch, Dozen.
Feet From Ground.

Perry, Me.-The Robinson home.

which attracts sightseers for miles
around--a big locust tree with red
currant bush in full bearing that
grows in the crotch a dozen feet from
the ground. Until explained it seems
like a natural graN.
The owner some years ago detected
signs OF decay where the two main
branches forked. and there the trunk
.eved in. Mr.. Robinson filled the de.
preston with earth, which evidently
preserved the tree from disintegration,
and soon the currant bush was noticed
springing into life. Either the germ of
the currant was already in the soil. or
else a bird carried currant thither,
leaving a seed from his choice morsel.
