introducing Two Bushels of Wheat
Lying side by side in his wagon had
been bushels of wheat that fate had
marked for strangely different ends
They were very much alike, those
bushels of wheat, and 10 look at them
you would not have suspected the
strange and wonderful adventures in
store for them Yet one was destined
To travel abroad for consumption IN

folded the international panorama Of
wheat marketing in time Of war.
High war costs Of production gave
our Missouri farmer much concern as
to his returns aud accounted for his
depression over the prospects Of his
wheat grading down; for that meant
reduction Of 3 cents per bushel un-
der the No. grade. But it graded
No. q
The elevator would also deduct en-
additional 5 cents a bushel 10 cover the
fixed charge made in this locality for
handling and selling. The scent
charge included the commission Of /
cent per bushel customary In 1917
among commission meB for selling the
wheat 10 domestic millers or foreign
buyers.
The elevator man was none too sure
us to how to get at the price which
this wheat should bring. He knew
considerably more about human nature
than freight rates and decided to
"check up" the problem to the nearest
zone agent of the Grain Corporation.
So he wrote letter 10 the representa-
tive stationed at st. Louis. That let
ter was referred to the traffic expert
In the New York office, who transmit
ted the following rule for determining
the price OF wheat ct any country
point:
There Is only one price for wheat at
a country point. That price is always
TO be arrived at by taking as basis
the price at the most advantageous
primary market whers we have fixed
a price and deducting the freight to
that market ana a fair handling profit
That is the price to be paid for wheat
at any station. regardless Of the point
10 which it may be shipped.
Working out the price which should
be paid for wheat al your station is
a fine occupation for an of day. If
you cannot find the answer, write TO
the Food Administration Grain Cor
pOration In New York City and its
traffic expert will give you aid.

GOVERNORS RACE

Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 23.-Former
State Engineer Lamar Cobb today
withdrew from the race for the lem
ocratic nomination for governor, stat
ing that he intended to work for Sid
ney P. Osborn. He explains that he
is not financially able to carry his
campaign through, but hopes that his
work has had influence in elevating
the party's political standard.
Cobb has had no large following,
though the vote cast for him at the
primary might have served to defeat
either of the two remaining conserva-
tive Democratic candidates. His cam
paign has been based mainly upon
charges against the state administra-
tion, as represented by the attorney
general and commission of state in
stitutions.
The fight has been left between
Fred Golfer, the administration and
radical candidate, and Fred Sutter
and Osborne, conservatives Efforts
now are being made toward possible
consolidation of the interests of Sut-
ter and Osborn.

ATTY. CANDIDATE,
MAKES STATEMENT
Popular Young Attorney Makes Plain
His Position on the Important
Question of the Liquor Traffic and
Law Enforcement. fg

1t seems that there IS doubt IN the
minds of a few voters as to my po-
sition on certain questions injected IN
to the campaign for the office OF dis
trict attorney.
For the mere purpose OF getting
votes, the time-worn practice OF pub
fishing a platform embodylng prom
ises that may or may not be kept up
on being elected to office, has not
appealed to me as the falrest way to
present ones claim TO the people. Inc
candidate, himself, and his past record,
are bound to form the foundation up
on which he viii base his course of ac-
tion as am official, regardless of what
bait he might throw out TO capture
votes.

"You vote for my bill for my coun'
ty and l will vote for yours"
In placing my name. before the peo'
pie of Imperial county as candidate
for the Assembly. l am actuated by
two motives:
First-Heretofore the County OF
Imprial has received very little atten-
ton fro mthe legislature and it is high
time a member should represent this
county who can remind the California
legislature that Imperial county needs
attention by the passing of soma laws
in keeping with the rapid growth OF
population and the production OF
crops, livestock ard dairy products
This county holds the banner, accord
ing to government statistics, for the
greatest output of agricultural pro-
ducts of all the thousand and more
counties in the United States, per
capita, ,or emasured by population.
Second-While it is all very pleas
ant to send to the Assembly good
representative citizen of high intelli-
gence, yet the past has proven that
usch a member must be possessed OF
more than this if he wedges his coun-
ty into the front and commands at
tention and the passing of laws for
his county. | saw no such candidate
in the field, and, though membership
in the Assembly entails sacrifice OF
the members private business, yet
now, if ever, men who leave the seek
ing of public office to professional Of
flee seekers, for the sake of their
own private business, are not doing
their duty to themselves or to thcii
country. o. V. WlLLSON
