1880, 100000 BUSHELS FOR 1919

A wheat crop of 1880, 600, 900 buspels
from American farms for 1919 was pre-

ment has been called upon to face il
protecting the guaranteed price of $2.2)
a tushel for wheat by the ending of the

According to Crowell, whose Office is
at AZ Broadway, scarcity of shipping,
and the food shortage throughout Eu-
rope will make it impossible for the
grain corporation to dispose Of the pres
ent American wheat crop withou
difficulty, despite the fact that Aus
tralian wheat is quoted at $1.18 and
Argentine wheat at $1.35 bushel.
The big problem in the wheat marke t
will come. according to this authority.

is the only farm grown commodity on
which the price to the farmer is abso-

DON'T STOP BUYING

Though the armistice has been signed
more than 1900, 900 American troops
overseas must be fed, clothed, armed,
supplied, and fully prepared for any
eventualities. And even after peace is
formally declared many months willsbe
required to bring home the gallant troops
whose presence and whose brilliant valor
in action sealed the fate of the armed
forces of the Central Powers, insured
the collapse of Germany, and IN truth
helped make the world safe for de-
mocracy. The activities of our Navy,
too, must continue undated, as well as
many other war activities.
1t is manifest, therefore, that as our
Army and Navy must continue their
work, 50 must civilian America exert
itself until peace is finally affected and
the troops are brought back. It will
require immense sums Of money and
vast amount of labor and materials to
maintain the army and navy and thus
to insure the triumphs attained through
the sacrifice. We cannot afford to relax
permaturely. To that end, the people
of America must continue to lend their
money to the government and to save
for victory, in the same spirit of patri-
otism and determination which mani
tested itself while hostilities were in
progress, and while in no degree is re-
sponsible for the splendid triumph of
Allied arms.
These War Savings Stamgs are the
best security the Government offers
They draw interest at the rate of Al per
cent compounded quarterly so that the
price paid for them now will give them

good in this campaign as she has in the
