cents bushel to the farmers and told
them it would manufacture their prod
uct and sell it and pay them in addi-
ton whatever the production was
worth. At the end Of the season the
farmers were paid an additional sew
enty cents, making $1.40 bushel for
their grain as against sixty-two which
the milling trust had paid. The same
trust owned the shipping facilities and
the flour could not be sent to the for
eign markets which are the consumers
of the surplus wheat, without paying
the exorbitant prices asked by the
trust for export freight. Thereupon
the government took over all the ship
ping business and now every bottom
which carries South Australian flour
from a port Of that country is owned
by the government.

owned utilities. In that division there
are large government owned packing
plants and flour mills and bakeries and
other industrial plants. The farmer
who raises sheep sends them to the
public owned government packing
plant and receives an advance on the
value of the same. They are then
slaughtered and sold by the govern
ment and whatever the product brings
in addition to the advance already
made is paid to the farmer by the
government. He told an interesting
story of the reasons for taking over
the wheat industrial plants of that
country by the government. The cost
of bread was found to be so high that
it could not be purchased by the peo-
pie. The government ordered the bak-
cries to supply bread at a certain price
on a fixed date and when they failed
to do so took over the bakeries and
began operating them under govern
ment control. Then it was found that
the wheat trust not only owned the
bakeries but owned the flour mills and
the trust defied the government to re-
duce the cost of bread while the trust
owned the flour mills, and sent the
price of flour up. Thereupon the gov
eminent took over the flour mills.
When this was done the wheat trust
was paying the farmers sixty-two
cents a bushel for their wheat. The
government offered to advance seventy

completely has it been enveIoped for

show that its people will be as re-

as will the Belgians.
Even the marriage of the crown
prince. Rupprecht of Bavaria, to the
Princess Antoinette OF Luxembourg will
not alter the feelings of the people to-
ward the Germans and their friendship
for the allies.
No newspapers, French or neutral,

Luxembourg. there came magnificent
white and gold coach and four. A
splendid coach house and a luxurious

would sit in that very carriage in max
