MARKET AWAITING
ACTION At Capitol
Wheat Farmers Hopeful Solons Will
Grant $3.50 Price.
BY JOSEPH +. PRITcHARD.

Chicago, April 7.-As has been the
case since the wheat crop was har-
vested and threshed, there are many
farmers who believe that there Is a
possibility of securing additional ad-
vances for this grain. Thousands of
them are holding their wheat In the
belief that there Is a possibility that
President Wilson will be overruled
by the Joint conference OF the two
houses In Congress and that a law
Will eventually be made naming g. 50
as the price for the remaining wheat
on the farms.
The slow action in the Food Admin
istration In going on to the farms
and requisitionlng the wheat before
this time has been because they want
ed the farmers to have q chance to
obtain as much as possible for their
grain.
Those who have been behind the
measure to advance the price to $3.50
for the balance OF the wheat on the
farms have left no stone unturned, as
they have put up a stitf fight with
farmers at their back who were de-
manding the $3.50 level.
Many in the grain trade on the va
rious exchanges believe that $3.50 is
too high for wheat and that the
farmer is making a good profit when
he sells mis- wheat at t2.9O which is
the price fixed by President Wilson.
There was a falling of In the week.

That was ten years ago, and Howard
says the year he spent at the military
academy was the best year Of his life.
"Now," said Uncle Dan, with great
earnestness, "when such training does
so much good, makes better citizens and
at the same time fits man to defend
his country, why should not Uncle Sam
furnish this training at the govern
ment's expense? The government, has
the right to call anyone to serve In

man is worth nothing as soldier. I'm
Gle Sam has splendid new training
camps that will soon be available for
the purpose, therefore, here is double
reason why the Chamberlain bill for
compulsory military training should be
passed at once, so that every boy ply

not leave it for his parents to pay for.

Billie's plan was to have Jimmie cash

pointed to find that Jimmie would still
lack about $500 Of having enough to
see him through. His lip quivering, he
said: "rm mighty sorry to leave jim

Uncle Dan was silent a moment or
two, then he asked Billie to go down
to the orchard and get him some ap-
pies to eat on the train. While he was
gone, it was arranged that Uncle Dan
and Mr.. and Mrs. Graham would adj
vance the money necessary so that

Cause Of Cold Feet.

Cold feet may be habitual, constitu-
tional or from general i'll health, com.
monty they are so by habit. Tight
shoes, a sedentary life and overeating
are often guilty, asserts an authority.
When there Is too little ventilation CT
the feet or the stockings are too thick,
the relief isn't easy. The feet are
kept warm better by wearing thin hose
and low shoes, cold baths and vigorous
massage, active exercise outdoOrs-es-
pecially walking-than by inactive In
door life. Frequent daily washing OF
the feet helps to restore their warmth.
