Official Believes Hearings viii Come

as All are Not

Hearings for eight women on city
charges of having no visible means
of support, set for July l in the su,
perior court. have never been held.
Judge w. L. Mcnamara said today
that the cases would probably come
up in court some time this week. 81
believe all of the defendants are now
ready" he said.
Mcnamara holds that absence from
the city on other business is respon-
sible for delay of the hearings.
The women are those who were ar
rested and charged with prostituting
and conducting places of disrepute
under state information.
The women waived to the grand
jury on the state charge under $500

WHERE THE BLAME LIES
interesting Analysis of ohio's Vote
m nHobibi1ion

Interesting Analysis of ohio's Vote
on Prohibition.
Columbus, O.-There were 127,740
fewer votes cast for and against
statewide prohibition last November
than were cast for governor in 1916.
Where did this loss take place?
The eight most populous counties
of the state are: Cuyahoga, Hamilton,
Franklin, Lucas, Montgomery, Sum-
nit, Mahoning and Stark. These
counties contain the cities of Cleve-
land, Cincinnati, Columbus, Toledo,
Dayton, Akron and Youngstown,
while Stark has three cities, Canton,
Alliance and Massillon.
The slump in these eight counties,
which polled between one-third and
one-half of the entire vote of the
state, was 39,O23, while in the other
80 counties, most of them rural, the
slump was S8,717. This shows the
slump almost twice as great in the
rural counties as in the eight coun-
ties in which are the larger cities.
The rural counties with the popu-
lation drier than the counties with
the big cities, shows the largest stay
at-home vote. These counties lost the
election for the drys.
The Ohio Dry Federation purposes
to put on such campaign this year
as will bring this stay-at-home vote
to the polls and make the state dry.

at New York City was 1928 per BUSH
ell. Here is how he went about it:
The freight rate from SikestOn to
New York being 1898 cents per bush
ell, he deducted that from $2.28 per
bushel and found the price at Sikeston
to be $2.1102. From this he deducted
l per cent per bushel for the commits
sion firms charges, which put the net
price (. o. b. Sikeston at $2.1002.
he next compared this price with
what he could get If he sold at St
Louis, his nearest primary market At
st. Louis the basic price is $2.1S per
bushel, and the freight rate from
Sikeston to st. Louis 6 cents per bush
ell. This would make the Sikeston
price $2.12, less cent per bushel for
selling charges, or $2.11 net. The st.
Louis price would therefore govern,
being advantageous to the Sikeston
seller.
If our imaginary bushels Of wheat
had started from Sikeston, since 1t was
a No. grade, we must deduct cents
per bushel, which would bring the
price f. O. b. the elevator point to
$20902 per bushel. AS our imaginary
elevator man is charging s cents per
bushel for handling, which includes
the commission fee just mentioned, we
deduct an additional 4 cents to arrive
at the price the farmer received. This
price would be $2.0402 at the elevator.
Some of that cents will return to our
farmer If the elevator prospers; for it
is owned comparatively.
When Farme: and Elevator Man Dis
agree.
Had this elevator been owned by pri-
vate firm or person, or had 1t been a
Zine" plant, Col. jenkins would not
have heen so bland and trustfuL.
He might have refused to sell at all
and arranged to store his wheat or he
might have taken 1t over to a COM
petitive concern which offered high
er price; for the Food Administration
has not yet attempted to regulate the
prices paid farmers for wheat at coun-
try points. Il does, however, offer to
sell for any farmer or farmers' organ
ization wheat offered at terminal
points, but makes commission charge

ing was taking place. Uncle Sam
had started on this remarkable eX-
pertinent; he was going to see wheth-
rake-offs to the spectators. This
neCessitated complete control by the
Government of storage facilities, trans
portation and dstributive agencies,
and the marketing machinery for
wheat and rye.
Everybody was troubled most of
ALL the officials of the Food Admins
tration Grain Corporation who had
undertaken, without salary, and at the
sacrifice Of their personal connection
with the grain trade, to whip into
shape the forces that would drive for
ward the big business machine for
marketing American wheat A single
control; and a $50,0O0000 nonprofit-
making corporation to do the work.
This work is a necessary arm of the
Food Administration, allowing the
Government to do business quickly
and without red tape. Its stock is held
in trust by the President of the Unit
ed States. For the time of the war 1t
will supervise the rate or purchase
the part commercially available of the
G600O0,O00 bushels of wheat and the
50000,000 surplus of rye grown In
America In 1917. Its job is to find
market for every bushel, irrespective
of class and grade. Under Its patron
age, wheat screenings are moving just
as easily as No Northern. 1t must
also work out satisfactorily the local
prices for wheat at each of almost
10000 country elevator points, adjust
thousands Of complaints, organize the
gathering and analysis of date, inspect
concerns reported as dealing unfairly,
solve vexatious disagreements among
the trade, and deal effectively with the
allies purchasing agent and the neu-
trails who may desire to purchase.
In the early days, following the de-
termination of prices for 1917 wheat
by the Presidents Fair Price Commits
sion, confusion existed in every part of
the wheat-producing regions. This was
intensified by the Inauguration of the
new grain grades, as promulgated by
the Department Of Agriculture, which
took place about the same time, and
led 10 diverse complaints and a feel.

OHIO SALOON MEN
ARE IN TROUBLE
May Not Be Able TO Get Beer
or Whisky.
TIME TO RENEW LICENSES

Supply of Whisky Almost Exhausted
and Now Government Has ordered
Brewers to Buy No More Grain.
Conditions Such That Hundreds OF
Saloons May Go Out Of Business
This Spring and Not Wait For Pro-
hibition by the Voters of the State.
Columbus, O.-Ohio brewers and
saloonkeepers are cup in the air." At
the last session the legislature
amended the license law and saloon
licenses are to be granted this spring
instead of in the fall. Applications
for licenses must soon be made and
new license year will begin the fourth
Monday in May.
Few Ohio saloonkeepers have much
whisky in stock, and there is no more
to be had, as none has been distilled
since last September. The ban on the
making of whisky will continue dur
ing the war and it is not likely this
ban will be lifted even when the war
closes. The supply will soon be ex-
hausted.
To add to the troubles of the saloon
keepers is the recent government or
der that for the present the brewers
must not buy any barley or malt. How
long this order will be in force and
what will come next is not known. The
beer supply will be exhausted, it is
said, in from three to six months.
If the Ohio saloonkeepers can Sc
cure neither whisky nor beer, how can
they operate saloons? It cannot be
done. How can they afford to pay for
their licenses if they have nothing to
sell?
Even before the order was given
the brewers to buy no more grain,
scores of saloonkeepers had decided
to quit, that they cannot make a liv-
ing selling beer. Now that the supply
of beer is threatened, scores more are
throwing up their hands. The future
of the traffic does not look good to
them. Besides, business is not good,
expenses are high, and over all is the
shadow of both state and national pro-
hibition.
On top of all their troubles, they
are facing another statewide contest
this year, with the drys aggressive
and determined to win, and the wet
margin wiped out by the vote last No
vember. To add to their worries is
an aroused public sentiment, because
during zero weather this winter,
brewers and saloons were kept in op- !
Grafton, while scores of schools, 4,
churches and industries were closed
and homes were without fuel.
Altogether, Ohio liquor interests
face situation with little of encour-
agement in it.
