Some of the adver- tiseTnents are produced on the opposite page in much reduced size, the original being three columns wide and about l2 inches deep A reading of them will give letter idea of the nature of the en- tire series than could be given here.
 This is a form of activity which no one can disapprove. It has been demon strated during the past two years that the wholesale grocer possesses a patriot ism and readiness to serve the public second to none. When the history of this countrys participation in the war has been written, and a record made oi the patriotic support given the govern meEt by business men. it will be fonnd that the wholesale grocer has stood every test and has in the most admirable way measured up to every patriotic duty
 What is true of the Birmingham whole- sale grocers is also true of the whole sale grocers in every other city They are all working earnestly to help the government and to help the consumer ana they are. not asking for applause

This then will form base of percent ages, which should be continually used.
 1t is not advisable to base the re-. duction Of accidents on the results of last year-this will give continually decreasing per cent of accident reduc- shown It will then be more difficult to show that the association is accom- plishing anything.
 The life and property saved, as shown by the accident report, should be appraised and the amount placed to the credit of the safety fund The re- duced earning power of men receiving slight or serious injury should be in Icluded.
 These statistics properly arranged and presented to the company will prove to the company that the safety work is not an expense but a branch of the work that shows financial re- turns, andswil1 earn for the association the necessary funds for It's continued activities
 t'The value of the work to the com munity may be shown by the same figures, properly arranged and given to the public through the agency of the newspapers. The report should be placed on the bulletin board at the various works or given out in the form of a lecture at some general meet ing of the employees of the company These public statements would help to increase the membership and to create T favorable interest In safety work"

CORES BILL TO RAISE PRICE OF
 WHEAT DISCUSSED
Western Man Wants Thirty Gents Added to Present Figures-John
 Sharp Williams Opposes

Washington March 16.--While the food administration was making plans today to meet the critical wheat shortage by a further reduction in consumption. the senate again took up and debated legis- lation designed to increase production by raising the price on the 1918 crop.
 The food administration was stirred to action by reports from the department or agriculture showing that the supply sof wheat on farms and in country ele- vators is far less than it was year ago.
 The Senate considered a bill by Sena- tor Gore of Oklahoma to fix the price at $2.50, or 30 cents a bushel more than set in recent proclamation by Presi- dent Wilson. In the House today, also a bill was introduced by Representative Morgan of Oklahoma to appropriate SSGo,Coo,0C0 to compensate producers for the losses they sustained when the gov- ernment established it's 1917 price at a figure lower than the then market price,
 Speaking for his bill, Senator Gore declared that of 100 leading commodities which had advanced in price within the last year, the increase in farm products prices had been the least.
 Senator Pomerene of Ohio, democrat. charged that during the last two years the laws of supply and demand have failed to exist and that prices for cereals have been fixed by s'hoarders and gam blers." He declared price regulations should be extended to all cereals alike.
 Senator Williams of Mississippi, demo- crat. of Mississippi, opposed price fix- ing legislation. declaring farmers should bs allowed q free market for their prod ucts.

WHOLESALE GROCERS AID CAMPAIGN FOR
 FOOD CONSERVATION

The wholesale Groeers' association of Birmingham, which has been unusually energetic in patriotic work from the be- ginning of the war, has appointed g committee with A L. Miller of McLcs- ter-VanHoose company as chairman to co operate if war liberty work.
 The educational publicity campaign, which the wholesale groeers recently conducted through the columns of 10 local papers has attracted widespread interest and elicited much favorable comment from officials of the food con servation board and from the southern press In the last issue of Facts and Figures, a leading trade journal, puo- lished at Jacksonville, Fla, some of these advertisements are reproduced, accom- panied by an editorial headed. Opening the Consumers Eyes," from which thIs extract is made:
 The wholesale grocers of Birmingham, through their local assofiation, have for
