the 1919 crop would be sold on the basis
of the world price, subject to the govern
ment's making good it's guarantee Of
1926 to producers. 1t now develops that
the wheat crop of this year is disappont
ing. Statistician w b, Snow in the Aug.
Q issue of the New England Homestead
points out the poor and damaged condi-
tion OF the crop and states:
ut is questionable whether the guar
anteed price fixed by the government,
and which was intended 70 stimulate
production, will furnish the wheat grow
err reasonable return for his labor in
view of the marked deficiency in yield.
Ii will not be at all surprising If large
part of the 1916 crop goes into consump-
ton at figure above the set price.
The average farm price Of wheat in
the United States is S2.05 per bushel
and the average farm price for Europe
Is consuming countries is S3.T6 per bush
ell With free market, therefore, We
may expect that American wheat will
seek the higher market and command a
higher price than the presidents min
imum guarantee Prices Of corn barley,
cottonseed meal and other concentrates
are now 50 high that a farmer cannot
afford TO sell wheat and buy back these
commodities to feed his stock
However, on Aug. s the president, in
his address to Congress on the high cost
Of living, had this to say about wheat
prices:
- Wheat shipments and cred,

wheat can and will be limited and con
trolled in such a way ~ not t. raise
but rather to lower the price Of flour
here The price Of wheat is low
er in the United States than in Europe
and can. with proper management, be
kept so"
Ii seems, therefore, that without the
appointment Of the commission as prom.
ised TO ascertain whether the guaranteed
minimum price Of wheat is fair to the
producer, the president has determined
TO, in effect, make such minimum a max
imum by controlling foreign shipments
and credits so that the product Of the
American producer win not sell for its

federal court for many years, the late

feeling of friendliness between the two

strengthened during Viscount Grey's
stay in Washington, no matter how long
that stay may be, 1t is to be hoped that
the appointment, which is now spoken Of
as merely temporary, may be heightened
out into long term of office. The Unit
ed States viii be only too glad to have a
man of his stamp to act as an inter
mediary in the relations between itself
and Great Britain A man who displayed
such foresight at the outbreak Of the
great war now brought to close and
who tried every honorable means at his
command to secure an adjustment of
amieable relations, or at least post

days of late July, 1914. is the sort of

THE NEW BRITISH AMBASSADOR
TO THE UNITED STATES.

Some time ago the announcement was
made in British official circles that the
delay in choosing an ambassador from
Great Britain to the United States was
due to the desire TO secure the best man
possible for the position. The British
government may have had Viscount Grey
in mind when that statement was made
inasmuch as that distinguished gentle
man was at that time suffering from i'm
paired eyesight, with the prospects Of
losing his sight completely, Since then
the condition of his eyes has improved
considerably so that it will be possible
for him to come to Washington to take
this most important post.
Viscount Grey will be gladly welcomed
in Washington and by the American peo-
pie, for there is feeling that one of the
best men possible, if not the best man,
has been secured for the ambassadorship.
Moreover, Viscount Grey has been al
ways considered friend of the United
States and of the American people and
his official relations will be such that the

The reelection of Fred W. Suitor of
Barre as president Of the Vermont state
branch of the American Federation Of
Labor for the ensuing year is recognition
Of q sterling supporter Of the cause of

the honor. The federation did well, too,
in recognizing the work Of Alexander

Dorothy Dey of Liverpool, on board.
The girl stood on deck in an apparent
tranquil mood as the vessel moved
to it's berth at the Seaboard termin-
ais.
Customs authorities went aboard
the vessel after it reached the harbOr
but made very little comment, stat
ing that they were only interested in
seeing that. the girl was sent back
to the country from which she WIS
brought. She is being held pending
the return of the Cohasset. 1t is ru-
mored, however, that she may be
sent back on vessel sailing before

could be obtained to that effect.
When the vessel arrived in Fernan-
dina a steward was placed in irons

HIGH PORK PRICE
AIDS in FRAUDS
GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATING
FAKE STOCK SELLING SCHEMES.

New. Sept. Gwen the humble hog
can become the central figure III a
stock selling scheme, declared Rich
ard II. Lee, special counsel for the
Associate Advertising Clubs, who is
in charge of that organizations inves-
legations fthe use of advertising in
promoting fake stock selling schemes.
The advertising association, he
said. had recently had occasion to in
vestigate several compnies which
were organized for tn ostensibe pur-
pose Of raising hogs, and with the
high price of pork as background, 1t
appears that they have done we'll IN
the sale of their stock.
The average city man, knowing moth
ing of the difficulties Of hog raising
is easy prey. He thinks of the high
price of pork, and so long as the pro
motor can keep the investors mind on
that subject, the trick is easy to turn:
Mr. Lee spoke especially of the Nat
ional Hog Raising corporation, of New
York and Millmont, Pa, which or
ganized for 100000 with Arthur n.
Small wood as chief promoter, and of
the fact the Post Office Department
at Washington, with which the adver-
tising association works in close har-
mony, had just issued fraud order.
The official statement upon which
the fraud order was issued showed
that when salaries and rents and otE-
er overhead" expenses of the New
York office were paid, there was little
money left to feed the hogs at Mill:
mont, even though the company had
bu thirty hogs Counting little pigs)
at the time. The ranch manager"
who was advertised as an expert, but
whose business had been that of paint
ing carriages except for time when
he served as a bartender, wrote the
Now York office that they had been
compelled to trade one of the hogs to
local feed dealer for = food for the
rest of the hogs.
SmallWood was arrested, and while
he did not deny evidence presented
by the government, he did declare that
he had been operating with honest
intentions, though following the ar.
rest, he and a stock salesman of the
company, J. NJ. Currie, proceeded to
sell stock, the firm of J. NJ Currie 2
Co., Inc, Sc Wall St. New York be-
ing organized as brokerage concern
| to handle further sales of stock
The fraud order, as issued, stands
against further operations either by
