Wheat and Bread
(Frnm New York Timesl

Mr.. Barnes, chairman of the Gram
Corporation, says that he has bought
only 100000 bushels of new-crop
wheat, and that for four months the
farmers have been able to find buyers
above the lawful guarantee. Also, the
world price for all wheat growers has
been $2.46, and the Europeans grow
ers' price has been $3.75. 1t would be
difficult to imagine a completer OF
clearer answer to those who have
been demanding that the price of
wheat should be reduced to the world
price in an open market. Our guar
antee lay does not obligate the farmer
to sell to the Grain Corporation, but
obligates the corporation to buy at
the fixed price. 1t is a one-sided bar
gain, and the farmer has the better
of it. He is either holding above the
guarantee or selling above it, and is
in danger of seeming little better
than the wicked protiteers. Bread,
says Mr.. Barnes, is the cheapest OF
our foods, and if flour were supplied
to the bakers free the other costs
would make the hope Of a tive-cent
loaf small.
Mr.. Barnes looks further ahead
than those who think chiefly of to-
days price. He is now keeping down
the price of flour by ability to sell
flour at $40 a barrel where it rises
unduly. 1t is necessary that he shall
be able to do the same at the end OF
the current crop year. There is only
! one wheat crop for the world, and
there is no surplus anywhere except
| for difficulties Of transportation. That
applies also to this country, where
great accumulations and fair pros
poets would vanish like the dew be-
fore the sun if it were possible to de-
| liver all wanted by the hungry hun
dreds of millions overseas. For the
fiscal year ending with June our eX-
ports of breadstutfs increased by a
third, and for June increased by a
half. 1t is difficult to believe that we
exported last year $954,779,894 worth
of breadstuffs without raising prices
even higher than they went 1t was a
great service to humanity as we'll as
one of profit to ourselves, and the
work should be finished as it has been
carried on.
Instead of less control, and a grain
market at the mercy of spectators,
there is a better prospect of more
control, and perhaps of collective buy
ing and selling by Government bodies
on both sides the seas. There is dam
ger of foreign buyers raising the
price against themselves, as they dld
in their panic to supply themselves
with munitions, and there is little
prospect that our sellers would take a
lower price for the sake of feeding
their countrymen cheaply by taking a
less profit than is offered commercial
w. Mr.. Barnes policy is the best
explanation of the furry among the
grain profiteers, on or off the farms
He is in the best position to manage
the market according to facts rather
than according to impresslonlstl'
ideas of conditions.

Woman AS A Financial Asset
New York Post)

The recent announcement of the
election of Virginia d. H. Furman
as manager of the Columbia Trust
company's woman's department
marks the first admission of woman
to a position on the official staff OF
a metropolitan trust company. 1t also
marks new era of financial enter
prise for women, for it is no longer
possible to doubt that women are IN
terested in the financial game, will
ing to take it's responsibilities ana
able to swing their share Of its risks
There is reason to believe that Other
trust companies and banks will not
wait long to show similar recognition
of women's ability by making room
for them in positions where lndlvld-
ual ability and financial acumen
would place them when sex is no lon
ger debar1ing factor in advance

A Great Loss

In the death of Henry G. Ely, St

substantial citizens and one whose
loss will be felt in many circles.
Diligent in business he rose from the
ranks to become the head Of the lar
gest factory of it's kind in New Eng
land, and the corporation of which
he was a director and the employees,
who knew him so long and so init
mately will miss his counsel and
friendship
AS a citizen he was ever ready tc
help in any good cause, always tax,
ing the keenest interest in municipal
affairs. In the South Congregations
church where he was so long an ac-
tive officer, his name will be held II
honor by succeeding generations
