The eighteenth annual Firemen s ball
given last Friday evening at Dreamland
hall broke all records of the department
for social and financial successes. The
fire boys have been giving dances on

the past eighteen or twenty years, but
it las been long time since the record
of last Friday evenings event has been
equaled About $235 was received from
the sale of tickets TO the dance which
more than cleans up the department s
deficit and besides neat sum in the
treasury, the equipment is all paid for.

and the jazz orchestra and compliments

States during 1918 and sold in the

Two Objects in View
In fixing price now for the new
crop, which will not be harvested until
June, the president was believed to
have had two objects in view. The
first was to halt legislation pending
In congress to fix prices at $l.25 to So
and ire other was to stimulate spring
planting.
The introduction of the price-raising
bills had begun to check the flow of
wheat to market and food administra-
ton officials feared that mills soon
would have to close down. Hoping the
legislation would pass, farmers, it is
declared, have been refusing to sell at
the present price of 1920.
In enacting the food control law
congress put guaranteed price of So
on next season s crop and this has
been construed as a minimum price.
10 draw wheat to market the presi-
4 dent fixed a price of 1920 on last sea-
sons yield and it had this effect until
4 lhe price-raising bills were introduced.
ihen the flow began to stop.
Would Upset Food Program
Food administration officials have
sdeclared that if the bills pass the gov
'ernment would be forced to raise pres
I'M prices to the new levels and that
IL 40 so would upset the food admin
$stratlon's flour and bread program.

DUE ALLOWANCE IN PRICE FOR

S2.O5 AT COAST TERMINALS
Values Fixed by President Practically
the Same as That for the
1917 Crop

President Wilson has fixed at 1920
a bushel, the price for the 1918 wheat
crop. The price is the same as that for
last years crop, and is for No.
northern at Chicago, with scale of
differentials for other markets. The
differentals, which differ in slight de-
gree from those now in operation, range
from a minimum of So at interior Pm
mary markets in the northwest to 1928
in New York.
Using the coast price of $2.05 as a
basis it is agreed that the price to be
paid Camas Priarie farmers for their
1918 wheat crop probably would be
$685. a bushel for No. l, northern,
but since this variety is not grown
here, it will be necessary to make due
allowances in computing the price for
the grades produced.

Lost A Leg?

The police are looking for man
who lost a leg and failed to report the
matter.
While swimming in the Boyer
ditch about a hundred yards west of
the railroad bridge south of town,
yesterday afternoon, Jim and Harlan
! Riley found an old shoe imbedded in
the mud and when they pulled it out
they were Mortified to find the bones
of foot in the shoe. It had been sew
cred about two inches above the ankle
joint.
The shoe is nearly new looking with
a slightly worn rubber heel attached
and is about a number seven. A black
Isle sock was worn by the unfortu-
nate when the accident happened.
The bones were bleached white as
though they had been in the water
for long time but they were all in
tact. The ankle bone was splintered
ldiagnoally as though it had been bro
Ken and not cut off by train or Of
her means.
The police records do not show
any one losing a leg in that neighbor-
hood neither do they have any re-
cord Of the disappearance Of anyone.
Was some one murdered and thrown
in the ditch or did some unfortu-
nate fall under the wheels Of train
as it passed over this ditch and was
ground to pieces, the dismembered
parts Of the body floating down and
finding lodging places in various
parts of the stream.
