The patriot. [volume] (Indiana, Pa.) 1914-1955, 1918-04-27

Tonight there will be American boys in
lonely listening posts far out in the desolation
of No Mans Land, American boys in the
darkness and the mud and cold of the trenches
under the Ceaseless thunder of guns and the
scream of shells, American boys tramping
along the pitch black, Shell-torn roads.
The patriot. [volume] (Indiana, Pa.) 1914-1955, 1918-04-27

Through the long, dreary hours, as they
wait and watch in the dark, while dangers
lurk on every hand, their thoughts turn
to the homes they have left behind, homes
on distant farms, in scattered villages, in great
cities, and they see in Imagination the plea
SAINT home lights shining out into the night.

The other part of this shipment con-
tanned our second bushel of wheat and
went over to the East Side into a small
bakery, which quickly made it into
creamy loaves. These loaves were
placed in groceries and deiicatessens
and the next day were 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 and
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 he 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 flour per barrel
tumbed 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
neapoliS. In a statement of Novem-
Der 90. the Food Administration says:
The farmer received for the 1915 har-
vest between S1.46 and $50 per bushel
for the harvest, taking the country by
large and >. last year he received
under 20 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 sterilization of
prices and the total elimination of hoard
ing and speculation In this industry.
The statement reports that farmers
on November % were receiving with
freight charges included from the ter
ritOry represented to Minneapolis, APP
proXimately $3.50 for AZ bushels Of
wheat. The price Of bulk -four at the
Minneapolis mill is about $1O25 per
barrel, showing that the miller is now
receiving about % cents per barrel,
which must include both his operating
expenses and profit

u "a &aAs without special consent
being forbidden, the mill
operatives became curious and made
inquiries. This wheat was part of n
large supply which the Grain Corpora
ton had brought into the United States
to aid in keeping the American mills
running.
There was another reason. Domes-
tic wheat was not moving from the
farms as freely as the millers needed
1t, and shortage forced the mills to
operate at a great disadvantage and,
according to them, at higher costs.
The last journey stage Of our first
bushel, although considerably changed
in its form, was to go as flour to port
under rush orders. 1t now had right
of way over all other classes Of freight
except other munitions of war. Con
sent of the War Trade Board being
obtained, 1t was loaded on a ship and
passed safely through the submarine
field to France, where it succOred the
hungry.
We started out to follow the travels
of two bushels Of wheat from the farm
to their points of consumption under
war condition with the u. S. Food Adj
ministration in control of the market
ing. l have previously discussed the
Journeys of these two bushels from
the farm to the elevator at the country
point. Here they parted and one of
them passed on to terminal and
from the terminal TO a mill and from
the mill to seaboard. There 1t went to
France for consumption.

Duy on the open market.
About the same time our cooperative
elevator manager had listed a shipment
with his terminal representatives,
highly reputable commission firm, also
under Grain Corporation license. This
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 it's 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 -four 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 u. S. Food Administrator
and received by a large wholesale job
Der in New York City. This jobber
also does business under a Food Adj
miniStration license, but administered
by the distribution division. Under Ii
cense terms the jObbers must sell at
a 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 llcensee has gone "the limit"
