ESTATE MONEY TO Be
INVESTED IN BABY BONDS
Judge John D Chappelle Makes
Rule In County Court Order
ing Dead Money" To Be
Invested In w SIS

Judge Chappelle of the county court
has issued an order requiring guar
dams of minors, whose estates have
surplus funds on hand, which will not
be needed for several years in the
maintenance Of the minors, to invest
the same in government war stamps.
The first estate to come under the
order was that of Leroy and Chester
Patten, minors The guardian, Chas
pllman, was ordered yesterday by the
court to invest $3.50 in the stamps.
If the order of Judge Chapelle is
adopted by all the counties in the
state a good many thousands dollars
will be realized for the war fund and
It gives the minors nee rate of in
terest on their money. Large sums
of money belonging to minors which
have not been bringing in any re-
turns, if inve jted in war stamps, will
be put in circulation by the govern
ment, benefiting untold numbers.

Mr. Hyde pointed out, as did John
Simpson of Weatherford, Okla, who
APPEARED Saturday before the COM
mittee, that corn and other feedstuffs
are more valuable than wheat and the
result is the farmers are feeding
wheat to their live stock and sending
their corn, which is selling at high
CT price, to the market
with corn and other farm prod
uCts, although of decided less food
value, selling today at higher price
than wheat is bringing you cannot
expect the farmer to raise wheat when
he can raise some other crop that
will yield him greater return" said
Mr. Hyde.
Mistake OF Congress.
Congress, it seems" continued Mr.
Hyde, has made mistake by either
delegating too much or too little au-
ttority to Mr. Hoover. 1t seems that
the wheat grower is the only man
whom the food administration has
! jumped on"
| He pointed out that the guarantee
of price of So bushel as the min
irrum price for the 1918 crop applies
only to No wheat and, according K

Washington, Feb Go II Hyde,
Alva, Okla, farmer and member OF
the state council Of defense, today
tCld the senate agricultural commit
tee that 1T is not question Of the
price of loaf of bread in the future,
but the action Of the food administra-
ton in placing a price Of 81 bushel
On wheat without fixing the price on
anything elje, has made it a question
of getting the loaf at any price
More wheatless days than Mr.
Hoover would ever think of ordering
are in store for the American people
unless the government guarantees the
farmer higher price for his 1918
wheat, Mr. Hyde predicted in connec-
ton with Senator Cores proposal OF
a guarantee of $3.50 per bushel fo1
the 1918 crop.
Price insufficient, Hyde Says,
The price of So bushel as fixed by
the food administration for the 1915
crop is not sufficient, according to MI
Hyde, and unless higher price IL
guaranteed the normal wheat acreage
will be decreased and thousands o
bushels of wheat which now constitute
the available supply will be consumed
by being fed to live stock,

London, Feb 30 -Germany's new
war against Russia APPARENTLY is not
popular with the German or Austrian
people according to comment in the
press Of the two countries.

peace. The uchcol children were
given a hol day and Joy bells were

discriminate between peace with the

acclaimed It as a general peace with
Russia.
