THE
IOWA FARMER
Government Plan Enables Him TO Re
ceive Every Cent Coming to
Him for His Wheat at
Railroad Station

BURLINGTON, Iowa, July 27.-That
the farmer shall get all that Is coming
to him for his wheat and not be the
victim OF proiteering by any grain
dealers, either in grading or in pirce,
is the determination of the United
States food administration, it is given
out by the Iowa administrator.
1t is presumed that the bulk OF the
wheat will be sold to local grain deal
Fers and shipped by the latter to the
central markets at the usual advance
and dffferential. But If any grain
dealer offers too low price at any
station, the farmer need only ship his
wheat in carload lots consigned to the
United States food administration at
either Chicago or Saint Louis, for this
territory, and the government win pay
him the fixed price for it and grade it
properly.
This method of buying the grain by
the government Is designed to prevent
profiteering by any grasping local
grain dealers It is made as simple
and easy as possible, and county food
administrators can explain it to any
farmer, and it makes it entirely I'M
necessary for the farmer to accept
less for his grain at any railroad sta
ton than he Is entitled to get for it
there The plan also cures any false
grading evil that may appear any
where.

told the United Press today that the
house will probably yield to anything
reasonable" The house is the most
opposed to the extension downward,
but 1t is likely that It will not go to
the point of attempting to thwart the
presidents wishes.
There is some tendency to complain
because Secretary of War Baker de-
ferred action ON the draft bill until
congress completes its recess Lead
ers say that had he favored draft ex-
tension earlier. the possibilities of the
present situation would have been
averted-
The need for men in the army is H.
Illustrated by the order to restrict navy
and marine enlistments from the draft
for the next two months. Navy and
marine corps officials are disposed to
be critical of this decision though they
believe their requirements can be met
in that period by voluntary enlist
ment
Draft officials are planning TO make
a wider use of limited service men
than they have made to date, provided
Secretary of War Baker approves
plans now before him.

WAR SUMMARY
Continued from page -

showing he reckons them too highly
to permit them to be sacrificed in ex-
change for territorial gains that are
not OF large strategic importace. The
Rhine cannot be reached with the
Aisne-Marne salient as a starting
point; and it is only by operations in
the direction of the Rhine that decf-
sive results can be expected from the
Americans The intensity Of the Ger
man resistance between the Aisne and
the Marine is providing uniuqe oppor-
tunity for studying the new character
istics OF Won Hindenburg's defensive
strategy.
There can be no doubt that the Ger
man general staff has drawn up a
highly intricate strategy plan for the
defense of German territory against
Americas forthcoming major often
sive. An mixing as to the nature Of
these plans is obtainable from the
character of the present fighting.
1t is therefore a highly essential
part of the work of General Foch's
staff to make a careful study of the
methods Won Hindenburg is now using
south OF the Aisne. There is no doubt
that some of the German defensive
tactics are new and are worth very
careful analysis.
The continual advance of the
Franco-American forces toward Fere-
en-Tardenois is threatening to Won
Hindenburg's plans, but how he is
meeting this danger is a matter for
close examination by the allies. Be
tween the Lorraine border and the
Rhine are number of German sup
ply stations Similar in Importance I

Bio Crowd Forecast

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, July 27.-The biggest
crowd to see an eastern boxing
match since Jess Willard beat Frank
Moran, is forecast for the eight
round bout at Harrison, N J., this
evening between Fred Fulton, of
Rochester, Mimi, and Jack Demp-
sey, of Salt Lake City. The fight
starts at $50.
The stadium will seat Is, 900 per
sons, and advance sales indicate it's
capacity may be taxed.
Fulton is expected to weigh about
$40, while Dempsey probably will
scale 1876. The former is a slight
favorite in the betting, owing prin-
cipaliy to the brevity of the match
and the soft gloves to be used.

While the result Of the allied pres
sure can be felt on all parts of the
