market They also tend to correct
many abuses prevalent In the past,
such as %cutthroat methods adopted by
mills to secure supplies and indiscrlmi-
nate moving of wheat to terminals.
For all practical purposes the wheat
business of the country is apportioned,
and whenever possible mills are sup
piled from wheat in the territory near
est them. This policy has for an OBJ
ject the saving of waste in transpor-
tation. In another way saving Ia

Limiting Millers' Profits.
The Illinois miller who received the
carlot containing our bushel of wheat
milled 1t promptly and shipped Its flour
to a port for expectation. The miller
was permitted by the Food Admins
tratlOn to make a fair profit, not ex-
ceeding a maximum of % cents per
barrel on the flour and a maximum
profit OF 90 cents per ton on the feed
stuffs left over All mills, however,
must furnish at regular intervals to

manufacturing costs, which are scru-
tinized carefully. The derivatives of

Government is to keep in the United
States all available feedstuffs in order
to encourage livestock production.

About the same time our cooperative
elevator manager had listed a shipment
with his terminal representatives,
highly reputable commission hrm, also
under Grain Corporation license. This
firm caught wind of the Georgia order
and secured permission to sell the Mis-
souri, wheat. The second bushel was
among those poured into n car and
hustled along to Its destination. This
shipment did not pass through any
terminal market. 1t moved straight
to Atlanta, where It went between the
rollers of the mill.
Controlling the Jobber by License.
Now, the flour which came from our
second bushel Of wheat was rolling
serenely along in another direction,
but the car was diverted by special or
der of the U. S. Food Administrator
and received by a large wholesale Job
Der in New York City. This jobber
also does business under a Food Ad-
ministration license, but administered
by the distribution division. Under IL
cense terms the jobbers must sell at
a fair profit only, although the exact

Milling Canadian Wheat.

RNAAHs ~ HILE our bushel was

3uq5e,.x~ wheat reached this mill
,"~M from Canada. Importa-
kVAVkS ton of Canadian wheat
d a eH1 without special consent
being forbidden, the mill
operatives became curious and made
inquiries. This wheat was part of a
large supply which the Grain Corpora
ton had brought into the United States
to aid In keeping the American mills
running.
There was another reason. Domes-
tic wheat vas not moving from the
farms as freely as the millers needed
1t, and shortage forced the mills to
operate at a great disadvantage and,
according to them, at higher costs.
The last journey stage of our first
bushel, although considerably changed
in its form, was to go as flour to port
under rush orders. 1t now had right
of way over all other classes of freight
except other munitions of war. Con-
sent of the War Trade Board being
obtained, 1t was loaded on a ship and
passed safely through the submarine
field to France, where 1t succored the
hungry.
We started out to follow the travels
of two bushels of wheat from the farm
To their points of consumption under
war condition with the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration in control of the market
ing. l have previously discussed the
journeys of these two bushels from

BRITISH AVIATOR FLIES UP T..
MAIN STREET OF HUN CITY

He found the city fast asleep, and
was surprised at the quiet that pre-
vailed. Not shot was fired. Keep
ing a sharp lookout, however. he flew
up the entire length of the main street
of the town.
A farmer coming into town waved
his hand at the British flyer in cor
dial greeting, apparently mistaking
him for a German aviator. This was
the only person Captain Dixon saw.
TO the north of the town he came
upon the hangers. Mounting to a
height Of 300 feet, he released bomb
which struck a. munitions dump.
Sweeping lower, he ratified off his re-
naming bombs on the hangers. In

flames rising to height OF 1000 feet.

|. E. A. Staff CORRESPONDENT.

Washington Sept. 3.-If Uncle Sam
is so minded, he could throw all the
allied world into bankruptcy. The
reason is not that he has loaned them
sums of money approximating in their
staggering total what Great Britain
loaned the allies before we got into
the game, but the form which the
obligations take.
1t is generally supposed that when
this government extends financial
credits to our allies, some paper is
given which contains not only def
mite promise to pay. but also names a
specific distant date upon which pay
ment will be made. This is untrue.
Each of the allies promises to pay
Uncle Sam UPON DEMAND. Never
before in the history of the world was
such stupendous sum promised back
to the lender upon demand The sum
is now s6.692,040.OOO, divided as fol-

WHO HANDLED THAT
DAILY MAIL DOODLE?
BANKS UNDER PROBE-NO
OTHER N. Y. PAPERS ARE
INVOLVED

Washington, July 10.-Several
banks and brokers are under investi-
cation by the alien property custo-
dian in an effort to trace the origin
and handling of more than million
dollars paid the New York Evening
Mail. All persons who participated
in the transaction will be asked to
tell what they know about it.
1t is alleged that the German gov
ernment became owner of the paper
through DR.. Edward A. Rumely,
now under arrest in New York on
charges OF perjury in connection
with the statement made to the alien
property custodian. Under the law
the money involved in the sale can
be seized by this government, if
transfer was made after the United
States went to war even though the
money is now held by Americans.
Department of justice officials
who directed the investigation which
led to DR.. Rumely's arrest, said to-
day they had found no evidence of
thirty million dollar Ger
man fund to buy American news
papers, and that SO far as they know
the Mail was the only paper the
Germans took over.

Capture Armed Hun Prisoners.

Washington, July l0.-The first
definite news of an armed body OF
German and Hungarian prisoners in
Siberia was contained in a report
received today at the state depart
ment from the United States con
sui at Vladivostok, telling of the
capture by Czecho-S -Slovak forces OF
six hundred prisoners and the town
OF Nikosk, about eighty miles north
west of Vladivostok.
The Czecho- -Slovaks lost 90 killed
and 200 wounded. They were OPP
posed by large force of bolshevik
Red Guards and armed German and
Hungarian prisoners. The defeated
Red Guards and prisoners took
armored trains and retreated toward
Haborzk on the ANU river, filling
eight trains. They took all the roll
ing stock at Nikolsk, and did some
damage to the roadbed.
The population OF Nikosk was re-
ported very friendly to the Czecho-
and aided in repairing the
road. The prisoners taken are being
held and examined in an effort to
learn where they got their arms.
