WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE abolition
of all export and import restrictions on
wheat and -four has been asked of Presi-
dent Wilson by Julius Barnes, wheat d.
rector and head of the United States
Grain Corporation. Mi Young said his
information was obtained from the office
Of the corporation in New York, and that
Mr.. Barnes is sending information of his
plans to the trade generally
Mr.. Young said he had learned that
Mr.. Barnes had sent telegram to the
United States Grain Corporation, New
York city. as follows:
export policy. Have advised trade
generally everywhere that | am con-
WINGED that export and import restric-
tions of all kinds should be eliminated
at the earliest possible moment. and
trade should be prepared for such. I was
told by officials of the United States
Grain Corporation that Mr., Barnes al
ready had forwarded a request to the
President for the issuance of a procla-
nation raising both the export and i'm
port embargoes upon wheat and that this
request Is now In the hands OF Mr.. Tu-
multy."J -.
Inc anu lttpOTl
have been necessary, Mr.. Young said. to
keep the price of wheat in America to
the Governments guaranteed figure,
$226 a bushel. and at the same time
prevent such large exports that the
price of wheat and -four TO the cong Yner
will show large increases. ~
Mr.. Young said he did not know
whether the Grain Corporation plans to
relinquish all its control over wheat and
-four but pointed out that the Govern
ment is bound by legislation to guaran-
tee the wheat price to the farmer. Fear
ing that lifting Of import restrictions
would cause large imports from Canada
Mr.. Young Immediately introduced a bill
plscing tariff of twenty-five cents a
bushel on wheat and a corresponding
duty OF sissy per barrel OF 1876 pounds
on -four. - sus .fs
Julius Barnes, director of the United
States rain Corporation, for the last

view with President Wilson to discuss
recent recomme ndations for lifting all
export and import embargoes on grains
and Hours, It was stated at the grain
corporation offices here to-day. Prelim-
mary steps in preparing the trade for
resumption Of its functioning without
embargo restrictions were TO be discussed
at the interview. The situation shows
no need for further embargoes, accord
ing TO Mr.. Barnes The American con-
sumner, Mr.. Barnes considers. now has
right 10 any lower prices for flour he
may be able to get through the importa-
ton OF Canadian wheat.

THE TRUE AND BETTER WAY

ESne Boil Weevil, like the Mason.
Ssk passed the Third Degree" as
w fair
He was raised in the West and
travelled East,
And always worked on the square"
He has brothers by the thousand
Here comparison must stop,
For he's got it in for the farmer,
That only grows one crop.
Still that farmer will plant cotton,
To meet his yearly note,
And the weevil will get in his bill"
and get the farmers goat.
But do not blame the weevil,
God sent him here to show
The farmer that it's better far
Some other crop to grow.
So do not swear, but fence with wire,
And raise more corn and oats,
And hogs and sheep and cattle,
Hay and grain and goats.
Iuou ict tAe WeoVl uo Ills WoTSl,
You've surely got him beat.
He will go to the one crop farmer,
You have nothing he can eat.
And when you've built, wire fence
around
Your fields Of grain and hay.
You'll tt INK the Lord for showing
you
The true and better way.

PERSHINC SAYS
Y DID GOOD WORK
ARMY WAS UNREASONABLE AT
TIMES.


Paris, June 2.-(By MaiD-The
army has been unreasonable at times
in its expectations from the Young
Mems Christian Association because
the "Y" spirit of willingness made
the doughboy take for granted the
associations ability to accomplish
results, General Pershing declares in
letter of commentator to E. C.
Carter, Chief Y. NJ C. A., Secretary
with the American Expeditionary
Force. 4
ION behalf Of the A. e. F., | desire
to expresses to you and to your fell
low workers my appreciation and
thanks for the splendid services
which the Y. M. c. A., has performed
for the American army in Europe,
GENIAL Pershing's letters reads.
when the first contingents began
arriving, the Y. M. C. A. began that
work for the American soldiers
which has ever kept pace with the
growth of the American Expedition
airy Force All the divisions and most
OF the smaller organizations have
enjoyed its benefits and services.
Besides maintaining the usual recre-
alton huts, it has conducted can
teens where the men could purchase
small supplies, and, in addition, the
Y. M. c. A., has constantly distri-
buted, without charge, tobacco, hot
drinks and the like at the front.
Another service of great value
has been the creation of and the
in leave acreas, where the problem
of giving the men. occasional re-
spites from the routine of army life
has been solved. The facts which
made this possible have been the
recreational facilities in the leave
areas, and especially the presence
and splendid assistance of the Amer
lean women with the Y. NJ C. A.
"Other branches of your endeavor
deserving of special mention are
those connected with education,
entertainment and athletics. In each
