new WHEAT PRICES
PAID AT WATERFOWL
UNTIL JANUARY !
Farmers Who Haul Wheat To Water.
town Can Tell just What Price
May Be Expected Under u. s.
Rule.

The following explanatory statement
has been furnished the Watertown
News by Edward Gnatzig, deputy fed
eral food agent for Watertown. 1t
should be preserved for future refer
ence, with respect to the price OF
new wheat up to January 1, 1919:
For the benefit of farmers who have
wheat for sale 1 want to explain the
means that should be used to arrive
at the price at Watertowp.
The Government Bulletin says: The
price of wheat based on the federal
grades should not be less than the
government guaranteed price at the
most advantageous terminal market
less the cost Of (a) handling, CD for
warding, Co marketing, (d) reason
able profit.
Our market terminal is Chicago or
Milwaukee, because that is most ad-
vantageOus
The grades are No. 1, No. and No.
and the prices are 1925, 1928 and
$2.19 for respective grades.
The reasonable cost of (a) handling.
That includes cleaning, loading and
reloading, etc., is cents per 60 lbs.
Cost CD forwarding. That is the
freight, charges, are cents per GO
lbs. to terminal market
The cost (c) marketing includes
terminal charges, commissions, etc..
which would amount approximately
to 2R cents per bushel, and last ca
a reasonable profit which is left to the
elevator operators, but in all cases
must be within reason, 35 cents would
be fair.
The price of grade No. 3 wheat is
S2.19 at terminal You deduct from
that (a) 5 cents, (b) cents, Co 2h
cents, CD 3 cents Total 15R cents.
From $2.19 you should get $2O3h for
No. 3 wheat at Watertown.
If you have No. wheat the price
should be 1928, less 151A, or $2.O7h;
No. l wheat $226, less 151l, or $21O1h
This is for wheat raised in 1918.

MRS. SATTERLEE SPEAKS
CONSERVATION HER THEME

A very interesting lecture was given
on Food Conservation" Wednesday
evening by Mrs. Dr. A r. Satterlee at
the Cotton Tabernacle, corner Seventh
and Dodge streets. She said in part:
Our government is asking us to
conserve in every way possible, first
to conserve food now being produced.
Second, the fuel, put in your coal
and provide early and then save in
every way. Learn to run your furnaces
and stoves so there will be no waste.
There is danger in our efforts to
conserve that we neglect and under
feed the children. Therefore this work
Of child welfare has been given to the
Woman's National Defense to carry
forward which includes proper hous-
ing, dressing, feeding and educating
the children and through your school
grounds and parks for the benefit of
the children. Societies, churches and
clubs should plan to educate the
mothers how to feed and dress for
health their children
Conservation of health is fully as
| important at this time as the winning
of the war The last four years twenty
million have died Of preventable dis
ease in the allied countries at war,
six million have died from hunger and
cold whereas only four million have
been killed in war; This should awak-
en- us to immediate action along the
line of health conservation and the
child welfare work.
| Our government is bringing about
one of the greatest blessings to the
Health of our nation, when they are
asking and helping us to use the
whole grain in our breads, combined
away from us the over abundance OF
meat and sugar which is responsible
for so much heart trouble, diabetes,
etc. tuberculosis and cancer are now
known to be caused directly from the
use of unwhOlesOme meats.
The speaker urged plenty of fresh
air, good ventilation and dress re-
is the watchword of every sensible
woman of our nation. No tight cloth
ing and no high heels.
The speaker wore a Hoover dress, a
| government approved dress and urged
that the young women organize, clubs
for canning and get and wear the
Hoover dress as a uniform
| Mrs. Satterlee is now working in
the city Of Milwaukee in the work of
giving public canning schools for
meat and wheat substitutes, public
demonstrations of how to care for
sick children and home nursing for
