charges each miller per cent OF the
value OF the wheat he grlnds TO cover
the costs of administering the cor
poratlon; for the $50,O00,000 capital Is
10 be returned to the United States
Treasury, unimpaired
The agreement has its compensa-
ton, 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-
~ for the season This nationwide
survey Of milling capacities, when bal
anced against the available supply or
wheat enables the Grain Corporation
to equallze supplies in a way never
done before. In fact, the schedule or
prices arranged for the primary mar
kets had for an object this equaliza-
ton. For instance, II the proprietor
of an elevator at Maryville Mo-, 40
miles northeast OF st. Joseph, and 4a6
miles from Chicago, desires to market
wheat he has available these markets: /:
ST. Joseph, Mo-; Kansas City, Mo. !;
st. Louis, Mo. Chicago. ILL.,, and New
York City, N. Z. To ascertain the
most advantageous price for him, he
would work Ii out on the basis OF the
following table:
From this table you can see what
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1918-03-22

the Grain Corporation was making
large purchase for the Allies and was
utilizing it's. knowledge of available
stocks by having on the job trans
portAtion trategist-Edward Cham-
bers, vice president Of the Santa Fe.
Mr.. Chambers was assisting the FOOD
Administration and has remarkable
sway with him" Even before he was
called to assist Mr.. McAdoo, the Direc-
tor General, his suggestions to the rail-
roads had a wonderful effect IN as
couraging their hesitancy as to finding
available cars and in clearing up con-
gestions that looked as though they
never could be uncongested.
How Uncle Sam Keeps the Whip
Ease in getting the needed cars was
one of the advantages enjoyed by TINS
particular elevator after signing the
voluntary agreement which ceded 10
the Grain Corporation the right to con-
troll storage and direct shipments and
sales of all wheat bought by the pro
prietor.
While voluntary, this agreement Is
almost compulsory since railroads give
priority recognition to Grain Corpora
tion requests for cars; and elevators
or mills outside the official fold must
"rustle" for themselves. In return the
Government guarantees the elevator
proprietor against losses and protects
him In every way as to price and pays
him rentals for all storage space requl-
sitioned by 1t.
All elevators, local and terminal,
must take out licenses or face a smut
down. What is the power of the IL
cense? 1t requires the operator to lay
all cards on the table as to his busl-
ness dealings. For the time OF the
war the elevator becomes public utll-
ity and it's proprietor must furnish In
formation as to his business at any
time when required by the Grain Cor
poration. Each week he must make
and mail reports showing the amount
of wheat, rye, or their derivatives, pur-
chased, stored, and shipped.
Under present license terms, the IL

days, unless he obtains special per-
NIT any stocks of these grains OF
their derivatives He is also forbid
den to contract for the sale OF any
product which can not be delivered
within 30 days after the contract Is
made.
How the Wheat Was Milled.
Away went our bushel of wheat on
its Journey to the terminal, where II
met other bushels of wheat from all
parts of the territory that fed this
market There it was regarded FOL
special requirements, marked for i'm
mediate milling and rolled on to q
large mill in Illinois. The miller
bought the wheat from the Grain Cor
poration, for each miller in the Unit
ed States is under license also, anc
most of them have filed out another
voluntary agreement which binds then
either to purchase all supplies from
the Grain Corporation or under Its oil

KAISER BILLS pet IN BAD

Washington.-There is pending IN
the United States Senate a bill IN
troduced by Senator King of Utah, to
dissolve the German-American AL
lance. Action on the measure is eX-
pected soon. Years ago Congress
granted this organization articles OF
incorporation.
At that time Congress was not
aware that it was the purpose OF the
German-American Alliance to work
politics for the brewers, neither did
IL understand that the Alliance was
to be the connecting link between the
brewers of this country and the Ger
man government.
But few years ago, the Kaiser, IN
a speech at Potsdam, asserted that ne
could control the politics of America
through the German-American Al
lance, which also works politics Tor
the brewers. .,
Now this country is at war with
Germany and with the loyalty OF this
brewery organization questioned Con-
gress purposes to dissolve incoEpora~
ton.

means OF control of the retailer Dy
making the jobber voluntary police
man to his customer. The Jobber rs
licensed to sell only to traders who
deal fairly, and II 1t should turn out
that jobber persists in doing busl-
ness with retailers guilty OF prohteer-
ing in staples under control the FOOD
Administration has and may exercise
the right to revoke the license OF the
jobber.
The other part of this shipment con.
talned our second bushel OF wheat ana
went over to the East Side into small
bakery, which quickly made 1t into
creamy loaves. These loaves were
placed in groceries and delicatessens
and the next day we're eaten by hun
CRY little boys and girls with dark
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 ana
thousands of little spectators have
had to turn elsewhere for Livelihood.
A number of commission men have
had to close shop. There are places
where elevators should be built and
other places where there are too many
elevators. The Government, dominat"
ing the wheat market, carries Its own
marine insurance. Wheat handlers at
terminals have had their activities re-
stricted
But most Of all It is interesting to
see how the price Of -four per oarrel
tumbled from the time Uncle Sam took
a positive hand In the matter. The
Food Administration has recently COM
pleted an interesting chart on the
prices of wheat and bulk flour at Min
neapoIis. In q statement OF Novem-
her 26 the Food Administration says:
The farmer received for the 1915 har.
vest between $1.45 and $3.50 per bushel
for the harvest. taking the country by
large and .. Last year he received
under 90 per cent of the price of the loaf.
Today he is receiving over 40 per cent OF
the money paid for the cash loaf, this
being the result OF the stabilization OF
prices and the total elimination OF hoard
ing and speculation in this industry.
The statement reports that farmers
on November 20 were receiving with
freight charges included from the ter
rltory represented to Minneapolis, ap'
proximately $3.50 for Az bushels Of
wheat. The price of bulk flour at the
Minneapolis mill is about $10.25 per
barrel, showing that the miller is now.
receiving about rs cents per barrel,
which must include both his operating
expenses and profit.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1918-03-22

The New York jobber took for his
own, in this case, profit of so cents
per barrel. He sold part of this snip
ment to a retail merchant.
This merchant did a small business
and was not licensed, but even here
was another social check. For the
retail merchants of the large cities
and those of many small cities and
towns find each morning and after
noon in the daily papers a price list
for -four and other commodities which
are considered fair by the Federal
Food Administrator for their State.
These prices are usually arrived at
through the machinery of the whole
salerS and the retailers organizations.
The retailer also discovered that the
iobber Who sold him this -four was
keenly interested in the prices paid by
the consumer For the Food Admins
tration has discovered an indirect

firm caught wind of the Georgia order
and secured permission to sell the Mis-
souri, wheat. The second bushel was
among those poured into a car and
hustled along to Its destination. This
shipment did not pass through any
terminal market. 1t moved straight
to Atlanta, where 1t 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 o. S. Food Administrator
and received by large wholesale job
ber 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
q fair profit only, although the exact
amount of this profit is not determin-
ed. the Food Administration reserving
the right in each case to call halt
when a licensee has gone "the limit"
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1918-03-22

Under these conditions the proprietor
would probably sell at st. Joseph or
Chicago, according to his inclination.
The table further illustrates the
equalization of prices and indicates to
what extent the miller is protected
when buying wheat in any territory.
Through this plan determinations
against the producer, the miller, and
the consumer are eliminated SO far as
it seems humanity possible under
plan of such tremendous proportions.

market. They also tend to correct
many abuses prevalent in the past
such as cutthroat methods adopted by
mills to secure supplies and indiscrimi'
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 0D-
ject the saving of waste In transpor-
tatiOn. In another way saving Is
made: Formerly large quantities OF
undergrade wheats have been difficult
to dispose of on account of unco-ordl-
mated purchase of the competing mills;
but under Uncle Sans domination
each bushel of wheat must now go
somewhere and the poorer wheat Will
move Just as freely as the more de-
sirable grades.
Limiting MIIIers' Profits.
The Illinois miller who received the
carlot containing our bushel of wheat
milled 1t promptly and shipped its Hour
to a port for expectation. The miller
was permitted by the Food Admins
tration to make a fair profit, not ex-
ceeding a maximum of % cents per
barrel on the flour and a maximum
profit of 80 cents per ton on the feed
stuffs left over. All mills, however
must furnish at regular Intervals TO
the Milling Division full statements OF
manufacturing costs, which are scru-
tinized carefully. The derivatives OF
this wheat the miller sold for domes'
tic consumption, as the policy of the
Government is to keep in the United
States all available feedstuffs In order
to encourage livestock production.
