II might be well to remind certain
people that the President Is com
mander-in-chief of the United States
forces, aud that the constitution
which we are so proud of invoking
clothes him with almost absolute
power. II is supreme folly to sup
pose that Congress, mighty as II Is
In some matters, can take away one
fraction of his authority. That was
delegated to him by higher power
than by Congress. There is no middle
road-the American citizen who does
not give full cooperation and obedl-
ence to his government in this crlcis,
is an enemy. and should be treated
as such.
IL is stated that there have been
more enlistments from Wall Street
families than any other ono class OF
families In the country. AS our ultra
pacifists and pro-German friends con-
tend that Wall Street brought on the
war, we suppose IL was merely for
pleasure OF seeing their boys shct.

One fine fall afternoon. Col Bill

and drove along the black road that
led across the prairie To town. when
he renched the cooperative elevator
of which he wns stakeholder, he
pulled up on the scales, checked his

But TO return to our farmer and his
expectations OF price
introducing Two Bushels OF Wheat
Lying side by side In his wagon had
been 9 bushels OF wheat that fate had
marked for strangely different ends.
They were very much alike, those
bushels OF wheat, and 10 look at them
you would not have suspected the
strange and wonderful adventures In
store for them. Yet one was destined
to travel abroad for consumption In
France; the other to find Its way into
Georgia. where II was milled and Its
-four finally reached New York

Finding a Price at q Country Point
High war costs of production gave
our Missouri farmer much concern ns
10 his returns and accounted for his
depression over the prospects of his

u reduction OF 3 cents per bushel un-
der the No. | grade. But 1t graded
No. 2.
The elevator would also deduct Gn
40, a
fixed charge made In this locality for
handling and selling. The 5.cent
charge Included the commission of |
cent per bushel customary In 1917
among commission men for selling the
wheat TO domestic mlllers or foreign
buyers.
The elevator man was none too sure
this wheat should bring lie knew
considerably more about human nature
than freight rates and decided 10
"check up" the problem to the nearest
zone agent OF the Grain Corporation.
SO he wrote n letter TO the representa-
tive stationed NJ ST. Louis. That let
ter was referred to the traffic expert
In the New York office, who transmit
ted the following rule for determining
the price OF wheat NJ any country
point:
There is only one price for wheat at
a country point. That price is always
to be arrived at by taking as basis |
the price at the most advantageous
primary market where we have fixed
a price and deduetina the freiuh, to

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
ARRIVING AT HOSPITALS

Paris.-American soldiers wounded
In the great battle which now is being
waged are already arriving at the
rear. American wounded and sick
to the number Of 1913 have reached
hospital No. rs. They are from units
engaged in fighting side by side with
French and British in stemming the
German advance.
Hospital No. Is is one of the new in
stitutions esta blished behind the line
as it stood after the allies stopped the
recept German drive in Picardy. Few
of the Americans remained at the
hospital very long, being taken farther
to the rear.
Sixteen girl students of Smith Col
lege are working in day and night
shifts at this point and are operating
a well arranged canteen at the rail
road station for the soldiers coming
through on the hospital trains. Mrs.
Clark, the Misses Justice, BrOgan and
Scott, and M. L. Ralthis, and e. w
Lowrey, of the American Red eros
have rendered notable service at the
hospital.
