ALSACE-LORRAlNE' ANCIENT CAPITAL
 SOON WILL BE A FRENCH CITY AGAIN

Even many Germans are now ready to admit that Strassburg, the capital of Alsace-Lorraine since ancient times, soon will be French city again. Strassburg, which was a fourishing town even in the days of the Romans, was free city from 1862 until 1881, when it was annexed to France. It remained a French city until 1871, when it was taken over by Germany as one of the spells of the Franco Prussian war.
 The crowning glory of Strassburg is it's cathedral, which was begun in 1176 and completed except for the spire in 1865. The spire dates from 1439.

Milling Canadian Wheat.

!; ); !; :: ::
AAA.p ~ HILE our bushel was
IA OW without special consent
being forbidden, the mill
operatives became curious and made
INQUIRIES. This wheat was part OF
large supply which the Grain Corpora
ton had brought into the United States
to aid In keeping the American mills
running.
There was another reason. Domes-
tic wheat was not moving from the
farms as freely as the Jmillers needed
it, and shortage forced the mills to
operate at q great disadvantage and,
according to them, at higher costs.
The last journey stage of our first
bushel, although considerably changed
In its form, was to go as flour to port
under rush orders. It now had right
Of way over all other classes of freight
except other munitions of war. Con-
sent of the War Trade Board being
obtained, 1t was loaded on ship and
passed safely through the submarine
field to France, where 1t succored the
hungry.
We started out to follow the travels
Of two bushels of wheat from the farm
to their points of consumption under
war condition with the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration In control Of the market
ing. I have previously discussed the
journeys Of these two bushels from
the farm to the elevator at the country
point. Here they parted and one OF
them passed on to terminal, and
from the terminal to mill and from
the mill to seaboard. There 1t went to
France for consumption.

The other part of this shipment con-
tanned our second bushel of wheat and
went over to the East Side into small
bakery, which quickly made 1T into
creamy loaves. These loaves were
placed in groceries and delicatessens
and the next day were eaten by hum
gry little boys and girls with dark
eyes and big noses and quaint ways.
Brings Out Startling Truths.
Government control has brought out
these startling truths:
More people unnecessarily make
their living out of wheat distribution
than was suspected. Thousands and
thousands of little spectators have
had to turn elsewhere for a livelihood.
A number of commission men have
had to close shop. There are places
where elevators should be built and
other places where there are too many
elevators. The Government, dominat-
ing the wheat market, carries Its own
marine insurance. Wheat handlers at
terminals have had their activities re-
stricted.
But most of all 1t is interesting to
see how the price of flour per barrel
tumbled from the time Uncle Sam took
q positive hand in the matter. The
Food Administration has recently COM
pleted an interesting chart on the
prices Of wheat and bulk flour at Min
neapolis. In a statement Of Novem-
Der &c, the Food Administration says:
The farmer received for the 1915 har-
vest between $1.45 and $1.50 per bushel
for the harvest, taking the country by
large and .. Last year he received
under 20 per cent Of the price of the loaf.
Today he IL receiving over 40 per cent OF
the money paid for the cash loaf, this
being the result of the Sterilization OF
prices and the total elimination Of hoard.
ing and speculation In this industry.
The statement reports that farmers
on November 26 were receiving with
freight charges included from the ter
ritory represented to Minneapolis, ap-
proximately $3.50 for Az bushels OF
wheat. The price of bulk flour at the
Minneapolis mill is about $10.25 per
barrel, showing that the miller is now
receiving about IS cents per barrel,
which must include both his operating
expenses and profit.
