..FARMERSA ACCUSED
by ADVISORY BOARD
:OF HOLDING WHEAT.

Accusing the farmers of holding
back their 1917 wheat for the higher
price of So 80 promised by Congress,
the Agricultural Advisory Committee
today recommended the commander
ing OF all the 1917 wheat in the copn-
try If the price is changed, as eXclu-
sively forecast yesterday in the In
lternatiOnal News Service dispatches.
Marketings of the product have
dropped of 80 per cent from, normal.
Increase in price could not affect the
production OF winter wheat and would
stimulate spring wheat only tdS the
extent of about 10 per cent. says the
committee. The holding up OF Che
wheat would seriously endanger. the
allies. g.. q;
Cry of the farmers that they must
have more money because implements
and labor are so costly, is met by the
recommendation that the Department
of Agriculture investigate with the
view of providing regulation OF prices
of implements on the basis OF cost
plus reasonable profit. " -
Further, demand is made that the
use Of sugar in confectionery soda.
and such unnecessaries. be curtailed
to the fullest extent. and that the
Presidential price regulation applied
to the farmers should be extended To
all other trade industries in the coun-
try.

Archie Isaacs. who is held In the Anne

An autopsy was held over the body
yesterday afternoon by DR.. William =.

said that evidences OF the body having

The womans head was horribly mu-
tilated. and the theory held by the state
is that her assailant used an iron in

We are in this war with Germany
because it is a war for freedom more
truly than ever before was q war
fought for the liberty of man. In times
past, it is true, men have fought for
freedom from Oppressors. Sometimes
they have won and sometimes they
have lost. But always there has been
a place in this big world where those
who had lost in the struggle at home
might 60 and find country where
they might enjoy the liberty they
loved. ....
Now all is different. If the forces
which are fighting for freedom In this
war are defeated, there will be no
place In the whole world to which they
may go to find a refuge from Prus-
sian domination. Every land under
the sun will be directly or indirectly
under control of the victor; and II
the victor is autocracy, freedom per-
ishes. " f.
The land where freedom Is most i'm.
minently menaced by the legt0ns of
Prussian autocracy, at this moment,
is the land where unwonted freedom
temporarily has run riot and has lost
the power to fight for itself-Russia.
We are lighting for the freedom of
Russia, and must continue to fight for
it until Russia learns what freedom
means, and is again able to fight II
we do not, freedom will die in Russia
Prussian autocracy will rule and eN
