A LETTER
Toledo, Oregon, April Goth

Toledo, Oregon, April 30th, 1918.
To Editor Lincoln County LEADER
VIII you kindly find space in your
paper for the Red Cross notice given
below. This is not meant in any arbi-
trary way, but by many it is believed
to be well to divide the County into
districts, designating these districts
in some definite way, that each sub.
chapter may know the extent of their
territory, and that the citizens may
be informed IN which sub-chapter dis
trict they reside.
AS Lincoln County is divided into
three port districts, the boundary lines
of these port districts are considered
to be convenient for sub-chapter dis
tricts except the Beaver Creek and
Oysterville neighborhoods where the
port district lines divide these com.
munties. Other than these the port
district line will govern. But in these
two above mentioned exceptions, 1t
would probably be best il they elect
which sub-chapter they wish to be.
long.
Red Cross Districts:
The Alsea port district-Waldpor
sub-chapter district.
The Newport port district-Newport
sub chapter district.
The Toledo port district-Toledo
sub-chapter district.
Very respectfully submitted,

Publicity Committee.

charges each miller l per cent of the
value Of the wheat he grinds to cover
the costs of administering the cor
poration; for the $50,0O0,0O0 capital is
to be returned to the United States
Treasury, unimpaired.
The agreement has it's compensa-
tion, however, for the policy of Uncle
Sam is to provide each mill with all
wheat possible. To do so, every mill
signing up was required to furnish an
estimate of its possible milling capaci-
ty for the season. This nationwide
survey of milling capacities, when bal
anced against the available supply of
wheat, enables the Grain Corporation
to equalize supplies in way never
done before. In fact, the schedule of
prices arranged for the primary mar
kets had for an object this equaliza-
ton. For instance, if the proprietor
of an elevator at Maryville, No., 46
miles northeast of st. Joseph, and 400
miles from Chicago, desires to market
wheat he has available these markets:
st. Joseph, No.. Kansas City, Mo-;
st. Louis, Mo-; Chicago. ILL.,, and New
York City, N. Y. To ascertain the
most advantageous price for him, he
would work it out ON the basis of the

master strategy.
The total number of bushels pur-
chased by the Grain Corporation from
the time it commenced activities to

licensed to sell only to traders who

eyes and big noses and quaint ways.
Brings Out Startling Truths.
Government control has brought out
these startling truths:
More people unnecessarily make
their living out of wheat distribution
than was suspected. Thousands and
thousands of little spectators have
had to turn elsewhere for livelihood.

terminals have had heir activities re-
stricted.
But most of all It is interesting TO
see how the price Of -four per barrel
tumbled from the time Uncle Sam took
a positive hand in he matter. The
Food Administration has recently COM

prices of wheat and bulk -four at Min

The statement reports that farmers

eceiving about IS cents per barrel,
which must include both his operating
and profit.
