Raymond Schmit New
Head of Bankers A. l..

Raymond Schmidt, the distance run
ner of the BROOKLYN A. A, was recently
elected president of the Bankers Ath-
letic League, which has an enrolled ath-
letic membership Of more than five
hundred athletes. The report of the
treasurer showed that the last year
was profitable one.
Among the recommendation was one
that the annual outdoor games should
be held as usual. The programme will
consist Of seven track and four field
events. It was suggested that a
set of indoor games also be staged, but
final action was delayed until the ath-
letc committee reports on the posi-
blity of obtaining an indoor track.

Dead" Heat

A dead heat in the second trial heat
OF the 1903 trotting race featured the
unusually high programme of light
harness horse racing of the New York
Road Drivers Association held on the
Speedway course yesterday. The prin-
cipals in this unusual result were
Bessie Baron and Leo A., but in the
final division of the honors the pair
had to be content with "aIso ran" posi-
tions.
The winner of this event, which at
tracted the biggest field of the day of
four entries, went to Bruno, a bay
geldlng, who was handled by A. Bruno,
his owner The tussle went to four
heats, with Bruno capturing the first
and fourth heats. Bessie Baron, one of
the best t1otting mares of the course,
had to be content with second honors.
The fastest heat was trotted by. Pa
want, an erratic performer. who has a
world of speed when he can be pre-
vented from 'breaking" from his
stride. Pavana covered the half mile
in :05. winning by a full length.
In the tree-forall pacing j. W. D.,
an old campaigner of the Grand
Circuit, was in good temper, showing
a high flight of speed to defeat Count
css Kohl after three heats. Countess
Kohl covered the first heat in l:O3, the
best speed shown during the day, but
it took considerable of her speed, as
she finished second behind j. W. D. in
the next two brushes in the slow time
of 1:09 and l :66.
Another three heat race was that in
which Exultant fought out duel with
Silent Sister. which was a close CON
tender at all times.

own land, haul grain or drive stock
to town, it would have done only
little more than it accomplished by
its 1nterdict against the freedom of the
sea. What was the order against
which we rebelled when we went in
to this war? Look at the condition of
the American farmer in the latter
part of 1914 and the first half Of 1915
and see.
When the war broke out, through
surprise and panic we partially gave
up for while the use Of the sea as
highway. And the farmers of
America faced ruin. l know an Iowa
farmer who sold his 1914 crop of 25.-
600 bushels of wheat for seventy cents
bushel. Farmers in the south sold
their cotton for half the cost of pro-
ducing it. All this time those por-
tions of the world whose ports were
open were ready to pay almost any
price for our products. When finally
we set our ships in motion once more,
prosperity returned to the farms. But
1t never returned for the farmers of
those nations which remained cut off
from ocean traffic.
Take the case of Australia. There
three crops have remained unsold on
the farms. No ships could be spared
to make the long voyage to Australia.
So in spite of the efforts of the gov
ernment to save the farmers from
ruin, grain has rotted in the open.
Millions of tons have been lost for
lack of a market.
Such conditions spell irretrievable
disaster. Such conditions would have
prevailed in this, country from the out
break of the war until now II our
government had not first resisted with
every diplomatic weapon, and finally
drawn the sword.
Why did we draw the sword? To
keep up the price of wheat and cot
ton, and to protect trade only? II
someone should order you to remain
on your farm, and not to use the pub
lie highways, would your resistance
be based only on the fear Of loss in
profits from failure to market your
crops ? BY no means! You would fight
to the last gasp! Not to make money.
but to be free!
When q man is enslaved, all he
loses in money is his wages. But the
white man has never been able to ac-
cept slavery. He has never yet been
successfully enslaved. There rises up
in him against servitude resentment
80 terrible that death always is
preferable.

FIX MANUFACTURERS PRICES
ON BINDER TWINE

Following an investigation Of the
cost of manufacturing binder twine the
United States Food Administration has
announced the maximum advances
over cost of sisal which may be
charged by the manufacturer. The
scale Is based upon the present price
of 10 cents per pound for sisal fiber.
Standard and sisal binder twtne con-
tanning 500 feet to the pound should
be sold in carload lots Of 10000 pounds
or more at a maximum advance Of 4
cents per pound above the cost of sisal.
Lots Of 10000 pounds or more, but less
than 10000 pounds, are TO be sold at
an advance Of not more than ~ cents
per pound above the primary price.
All smaller amounts are 10 carry an
advance Of not more than AZ cents
per pound.
Twine that contains $50 feet to the
pound should be sold at a maximum
advance Of TX cents per pound above
the price for standard twtne; 600 feet
to the pound, at an increase Of 8
cents; $50 feet to the pound, at AZ
cents per pound increase. Pure
manila twine containing $50 feet to
the pound should be sold at an ad-
vance of not more than 8 cents per
pound above the price Of standard
twine. All Of these prices are f. o. b.
factory. In formulating this scale of
prices the Food Administration has
considered the increased weight Of
binder twine over its sisal content. It
has made allowances for the fact that
manufacturers now have on hand
sisal which was purchased at lower
prices than rule today or twine that
was manufactured from the lower
riced sisal.

THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick

TAe farmer everywhere loves
psstee. The American farmer espe-
cially loves peace. Since the dawn of
history. the farmer has been the man
who suffered most from war. All that
he possesses lies out of doors in plain
sieht and is spoil of war-his house,
AiB grain. his livestock. The flames
That light the skies in the rear of
every invading army are consuming
the things that yesterday represented
his Life work, and the life labors of
past generations of farmers.
Everywhere the farmer is warrior
whan war is the only thing which will
1nalle and keep him free. He cannot
rally to the colors as quickly as can
the dwellers in the cities, because it
takes longer to send to the farms the
csll to arms. 1t takes longer to call
the farmers from the fields than the
city dwellers from the shops. Many
do not hear the first blast Of the
trumpet. Others do not at first under
stand its meaning because they have
not had the time to talk the matter
over with their acquaintances. Instead
of reading half a dozen extras day.
the farmer may read weekly papers
only. He must have more time in a
sudden emergency to make up his
mind.
It is impossible to set the farmers
of the United States on fire by means
of any sudden SPAR: of rumor. But
when they do ignite, they burn with
a slow, hot fire which nothing can put
out. They are sometimes the last to
heat up; but they stay hot. In long
fight they are always found sturdily
carrying the battle across No-Man's
Land In the last grim struggle. The
American farmer will give all that he
has and all that he is to win this
great war against war.
This war was at first hard to under
stand. No armed foe had invaded the
United States. The night skies were
not reddened by burning ricks and
farm houses. No raiding parties
robbed us of our cattle or horses No
saber-rattIers insulted our women It
seemed to many Of us that we were
not at war-the thing was SO far OF.
We did not realize what a giant war
had become-a monster with thou.
sand arms that could reach across the
seas and take from us three-fourths OF
everything we grew. But finally we
saw that It was 30.

With the new rules announcing
margins that may be charged by
brokers, commission agents and job
bers, the wheat mill feed situation is
now much clearer. A direct ratio be-
tween the cost price Of wheat and the
price of feed Is now established, and by
the announcement of margins through
the usual channels Of trade, the ratio
is now established from the mill to
the consumer. The rules as they
now stand are as follows:
The bulk price Of bran per ton Of
1000 pounds, at the mill, In car lots,
shall in no case. exceed 1870 of the
average cost of one ton Of wheat at
mill whore ground. This cost shall
be the average cost, as shown by the
previous month records Of mill, and
shall include the 10 administration
fee paid by mills on all wheat
ground. The different prices for
the other wheat mill feeds, bulk car
lots at mill, are as follows:
Shorts or standard middlings, $500
per ton above bran.
Mixed feeds, $4.O0 per ton above
bran.
Flour middlings, 5000 per ton above
bran.
Red dog, $500 per ton above bran.
For less than carlots, bulk, at mill,
b0c per ton additional may be added.
Shorts or standard middlings and
Red Dog are spring wheat products,
not generally offered by Ohio millers.
Mixed feed here means the bran and
middlings, run of mill, without separ-
alton. Practically all Ohio middlings
are classed as -four middlings.

What Makes
This Possible?

Why is it that American farmers
today are able to 60 about their work
in peace, to cultivate and develop their
farms and to get the full results of their
work in freedom and peace?
Why is it that unlike the devas-
tated districts of Europe, their farms
are peaceful and prosperous and no
one interferes with their reaping the
full reward of their labors2
just one thing-the United States
Government.
The United States Government is
simply another way of speaking Of the
people of America, because, of course,
the people are the government.
