Wheat Will Win The War.

A noted English statesman said
recently that if the people of Ame1-
ica had failed 10 save this year that
England and Frence would have
been compelled 20 withdraw from
the fight and as result the Allies
would have lost the war. This dem
onstrates the Importance of wheat
and teaches US that Wheat will win
the war.
The Government Of the United
States realizes that the two most i'm
portant factors IN winning the war
are men and food and so is drafting
the best manhood of the country for
the service in the trenches and is
calllng on the farmers to produce
the maximum amount of food.
There is no better way tor farmers
10 answer this call for food than by
sowing this Fall every acre to wheat
that is possible and to sow 1t with
such care that 1t will yield a boun
tiful harvest.
The patriotic farmer will give no
thought to the price he will receive
for his wheat but will think only of
the starving poor of Europe and our
boys IN the trenches who are fight
ing our battles and who must be fed.
Our boys are drafted into the
army by the Government and the
wages they shall receive, which may
be the wages of death, are fixed by
the Government and the boys do
not spend any time figuring whether
they can afford to fight our battles
for these wages. They know their
couptry has called them and they
answer the call without complaint or
reservation. Your country is asking
you TO raise as much wheat as pos
slble and you will not spend any
time figuring whether you can afford
to grow wheat at the price fixed by
the Government. You should rea-
lie only that your country has call
ed yoA and you will do your best
for wheat will win the war.
No thought should be given to the
possibility. of being unable to har-
vest the wheat next year for the
Government will permit no wheat
to go to waste but will find some
means of providing laborers for tn c
harvest.
England has sent more than 81 tx
million men to hghr her battles and
in spite of this will harvest this Fall
the largest whsat crop in her history.
What England has done America
will do.
Every patriotic American citizen
salutes his flag when he rises in the
morning and says II will this day
do my best to help WIN the war"
From now until wheat sowing
time, the patriotic American farmer
will saw and say it firmly, "I will
this Fall sow all the wheat | can fol
Wheat will win the War;

sentation on the Stock Exchange began
on February %, when James E. Bennett
purchased the seat of Raymond H.
Fiero, who was expelled. On April q
the bulletin of the. exchange stated

been admitted as partners. The firm
opened its first branch Office at Gibson
City, ILL.,, on May 4.
although Mr.. Bennett by his pur-
chase of !. membership on the exchanges
may go on the floor and execute the
orders of his firm, all its business thus
far has been transacted through the

ders for other brokers at 50 per hun
dred shares. The commission to the
public Is $12.50 hundred shares.

Concentration Of
German Baking Industry

The "Minchner Neueste Nachrich-
ten" thus discusses the fuel situation
in Germany as it relates to the baking
industry:
THE difficulties in connection with
the German coal supply have not been
removed by The considerable restric-
tions already placed upon coal con-
sumption. AS the bakeries play an i'm
portant part in coal consumption, the
authorities think necessary a further
concentration of the industry. The
communal unions are left. as before, to
take the measures requisite for this
purpose, with the cooperation of the
War Department Offices. The proper
ton between large manufacturing
bakeries and hand bakeries is to be
left substantially unaltered, and the
concentration is to be carried out in
agreement with representatives of the
large bakeries, the hand bakeries, and
especially the competent bakers guilds.
1.-THE number of bakeries at work in
Munich has been reduced by the pre-
vious measures of concentration and
by the calling of bakers to the colors
from GIG to 490."

An Innovation in War Finance

France has introduced an innovation
into the field Of war finance. Paris adj
vices yesterday announced that ar
engagements have been made by the
French Ministry of Finance for the
issuance Of "one-month bonds" for ma
tional defence purposes A person in
vesting in these bonds may collect in
terest at the first of each month at the
rate Of 1863 per cent a year. The
bonds, however, may be carried two or
three months, in which event the in
weston would receive interest at the
rate of 400 per cent for the second and
third months, bringing the rate for the
period of three months to per cent.
Bonds calling for 100, 500 and 1000
francs will be placed at the disposition
of the public on May 81. The purchase
price will be 1910, 49a.50 and 997
francs, respectively. The plan, it is
stated, affords an opportunity for pri-
vate citizens unable to invest their
capital for long periods to find re-
munerative and sure investments. the
state becoming their banker. 1t is
planned to place the bonds on sale in
every postoffice in France.

Indian Cotton Spinning
Industry Less Active

The output of cotton spinning and

ed December 81, 1917, according to
figures compiled by the Indian Depart
ment of Statistics from accounts rem
dered by mill owners, shows decline
of 2.S per cent in the amount of yarn
spun and an increase Of 0.45 per cent
in the quantity of woven goods manu-
featured, as compared with the output
in the corresponding period of 1915.
Woven goods produced in Indian
mills in the nine months, April to De-
cember, 1917, were valued at approx
mately 20o,44ooO0 rupees ($65,o29, 4oO),
compared with S6,637 900 rupees $685.

Sugar Beets High in Europe

Figures gathered by the Federal
Sugar Refining Company indicate that
the American grower of beet sugar is
getting price for his product consid.
erably under what the European grow
er receives. In France the price for
best beet roots this season has been
fixed at the equivalent of S14.4S long
ton and in Germany at s14.56, or about
50 ton above the pre-war level. In
the United States the farmer was maid
s5.48 short ton during the 1913-I4
campaign, and this season will get
from 1925 to $40 ton for sugar beets.
ms is an advance of from So to 81 a
ton. 1t is stated by the Federal Sugar
Refining Company that if price had
been fixed for the American production
according to the profits of the beet
sugar manufacturer a larger acreage
probably would have been planted to
beets this year.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Aside from the continued frmness
Of the neutral exchanges and persistent
weakness of rates on Italy the market
for foreign exchange was devoid of
special feature last week and dealings
were comparatively small in volume.
Italian lire set new low level yester-
day at 9.06 after reports that the Ital-
ian government had been buying it's
own bills in this market in an effort
to stabilize the rate were found to be
without basis in fact Dutch and Swiss
exchange continued to display a firm
tone at around the high levels of the
war period. Sterling exchange rates
showed little or no variation, while
rates on Paris we're equally steady.
Much interest was excited in foreign
exchange circles last week by the re-
turn from abroad of Assistant Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Crosby, who is
also president of tt Inter-Allied Coun-
Gil of War Purchases and Finance,
after a study of the foreign situation.
According to Washington advices, Mr..
Crosby will place before the authori-
ties plan for taking care of the ex-
change situation as regards Italy and
some of the neutral countries. In ex-
planning the present situation in the
exchange market Mr.. Crosby said:
"The support given in America to the
pound sterling and the French franc
has carried the dollar far below parity
in neutral countries on account of the
relations established between the three
currencies. All the European Allies
have been protected from loss on their
exchange in America so far as their
government purchases in America are
concerned by loans made since the en-
trance of the United States into the
war. Means are required to answer
the serious depreciation in neutral
countries, as the balance Of trade in
such countries is now running against
the Allied powers"
It is hoped that some arrangement
can be worked out whereby it will be
possible to restore the dollar to some.
thing nearer its normal value in the
Spanish, Swiss, Dutch and Scandina'
Wan markets. Already such plan
is in operation between the United
States and Argentina.
