THE HIGH PRICE OF WHEAT
SUBSTITUTES.

Not without the best of reasons
do the patriotic consumers complain
at the high cost Of wheat substitutes.
That the high cost is due to some
body's profiteering is as certain as
two and two makes four The SUBJ
stitutes are more plentiful than wheat
and before the government asked
the people to eat the substitutes,
corn, oats, rye, barley, milo maize
and many others, they were one and
all cheaper than wheat The govern
ment fixed a price on wheat and, tho
it has been getting scarcer every
month since, the price has remained
the same. II the government. had
fixed the price on the substitutes the
price on every one would have re-
NAMED the same. Not having done
so the spectators ran the price up,

POINDEXTER'S BILL TO RE-
STORE WATER TRANS
PORTATION

There was a time when every
stream of water in the United States
that approached the dignity of river
had one or more lines Of boats The
coming of the railroads marked the
decline in water transportation. The
railroads made all sorts of discrimi-
natory rates, and having the ear of
congress the laws favored the rail-
roads. The inevitable result was
inland water transportation was sti-
fled and went out of business. Now
that the railroads have failed TO re-
spond to the demands for transpor-
tation the need Of water Transports
ton is made pointedly evident. Sena-
tor Poindsxter, who is in charge of
a subcommittee having this mat er
in charge is about to introduce a
bill under which it will be possible
to operate boats on all the great
water highways of commerce.
The tremendous increase in our
domestic and foreign commerce, with
the additional increase that will
come to this country, as surely as
night follows day, after the war ends,
will tax both methods of transporta-
ton. Senator Poindexter has pro-
phetic vision in introducing just such
a bill as is under consideration.
Time will certainly justify the restor-
alton of inland transportation.

Il was announced az the meeting OF
the Northwest Division Of Red Cross
held in Seattle the past week that
the end Of the present month will
see the beginning Of another drive
for funds throughout the United
States and that the people Of the
Northwest must prepare themselves
TO make further financial sacrifices
if the work Of this organization is to
be carried on successfully during the
period Of the war. 1t was brought
out that the Northwest division dur
ing a period Of four months turned
out about 100000 surgical dressings
more than 355, 900 hospital garments,
50, 900 sweaters and 10000 pairs
Of socks. In addition thousands of
wristlets, mufflers, helmets. etc,
have been furnished. Hundreds of
nurses have been furnished for ser
vices abroad Thousands Of women
are giving up practically their entire
time 10 the work and have pledged
themselves to continue until the war
ends.
The State of Washington is expect
ed to purchase during the year 1918
S31 ,000, 900 worth Of war savings
stamps, $4,000, 900 more than its
quota for the third Liberty loan, and
Of this amount King county is ex-
pected TO come through with more
than 5000, 900. With third Of the
year gone King county's purchases
to date have been only 81 500 900,
which means that the remainder OF
the year she must absorb $500, 0G0
worth. Government officials at Wash
ington according to information re-
ceived here, are highly pleased with
the great patriotism displayed by the
people of the Northwest as shown
By their purchase of bonds and thrift
stamps as well as their splendid work
through the Red Cross and other
similar organizations.
The old timers Of the state of
Washington will be interested to learn
of the serious illness of Mrs. ]. C.

Haines was brilliant lawyer and
died at a time when he was coming
to be recognized as a great force in
the bubble affairs of the state His
widow has been the Mrs. Potter
Palmer of Seattle society for twenty
years. A few nights ago she had a
stroke of apoplexy and is in 4 hospi-
tai in a dying condition.

NARROW ESCAPE Of
THREE CHILDREN At
CHURCH ST. GRADE
CROSSING TUESDAY
FORTUNATE THAT NEITHER OF
OCCUPANTS OF THE BUGGY WAS
KILLED AS ONE WAS DRAGGED
UNDER MOVING CAR AND AN
OTHER MISSED BEING GROUND
TO PIECES UNDER WHEELS.

Three children, Agnes, Ruth ana
Henry Salter, came near meeting a
horrible death at the Church street
crossing Of the Central Of Georgia
railroad here late yesterday after
Eoon. The children were returning
to their home near Americas after
attending school in the city riding in
a buggy at the time Of the accident.
The horse attached to the buggy was
struck by a car attached to a switch
engine, and killed instantly, the bug
gy being demolished
1he children were all thrown VOL
entity out OF the vehicle, and one of
them fell underneath the moving cars,
being bruised and badly frightened
by the experience, and it is feared
was injured internally as we'll. An
other was lying upon the track di-
rectly In the path of the cars when
caught up by member of the switch
ing crew and dragged along the cross
ties. The other member of the party
escaped serious injury.
Jesse Salter, father of the three
children talked with representative
OF The Times Recorder this morning
and he places full blame for the ac-
cident upon the crew in charge of the
switching engine. The hose killed,
Mr.. Salter stated, was a very valuable
one.
