THAT WHEAT GUARANTY

A good many people are excited ov
err the wheat outlook. Do not joir
them yet awhile. The Government has
guaranteed two dollars and twenty.
six cents for every bushel harvested
in the United States next summer. A
big area was seeded last fall. Nc
doubt big area will be seeded next
spring. If it all comes through to the
threshing machine in good condition
there will be big crop--a billion
bushels or more. Australasia has
available wheat, now that shipping re.
strictions are relaxing. India will
have wheat to spare. Europe may
harvest more wheat next summer than
last. Wheat in the open market may
be worth only dollar and a quarter
a bushel. Buying the American cror
at two-twenty-six may let the Gov.
eminent in for billion-dollar loss.
But long, melancholy procession
of gentlemen have gone broke figuring
on the wheat harvest after the grain
was knee-high, and part of our croI
has not been planted yet. 1t will be
eight months, with multitudinouS
chances of bugs and weather, before
the last of it is cut.
Perhaps you noticed in your news.
paper the other day a hunger map OF
Europe, with more than third Of
the continent black, indicating fam.
inc conditions. At any rate, you have
seen what Mr.. Hoover and other per.
sons with pretty good sources of in,
formation have been saving about g
grievous lack of bread across the wa.
ter. And fighting stopped last No.

it's guaranty, for the purpose of Undue.
ing the fullest possible production OF
wheat in the United States this year
it had no means of knowing that fight.

have meant life or death to somebody
in Belgium or France.

DR.. j. P. Clark of Perryville was a
visitor here the first of the week. He
had been on a visit to his farm at

Perry Mccormick, OF Plattin, made
visit to Pennington the last of the
week and purchased a pair of fine
mules of James O'Sullivan. He also
purchased two splendid milk cows in
Pennington, to add to his fine dairy
herd. Mr.. Mccormick is an cold head"
in the dairy business, consequently he
knows where to get the best milk
cows, which is one of the specialties
Oh this community.
1t seems that there must be several
broken cogs in the mail service, some
where between Pennington and Van
Buren,, Carter county, this State. The
Current Local at that place is on The
Times exchange list, and for the past
several months the copy that comes to
this Office has been a month or more
old when it reaches US. Often two
copies of different issues arrive to-
gether. Last week three copies came
in the same mail, Jan. End, 9th and
10th. But its transit is apparently be-
ing gradually improved, and we are
hoping that by next week the mail
will catch up with it.
w. S. Miller, one of Farmington's
oldest and best loved old gentlemen,
met with quite a serious and painful
accident Tuesday afternoon while
working in Lang & Bro. Manufactur-
ing Plant. The thumb of Mr.. Miller's
right hand was caught at the upper
joint in a steam planer, cutting
through the bone and lasccrating the
flesh considerably, Physicians are
yet unable to say whether or not
amputation of the thumb must result,
and will not decide on that for a few
days, until they have chance to note
the improvement in the injury. Mr..
Miller was for many years a hard
wood worker in the Lang establish
ment, but had not been working there
regularly for some time past.

The Times would call special atten.
ton to the splendid advertisement OF
Burnette's Market, in this issue. This
excellent establishment, which has re.
Gently moved into new quarters, car
ries a splendid assortment of practi.
cally everything that is good to eat
Even a glance at their large and we'll
filled shoy window is almost certain
to attract the passer-by inside, where
the resplendent display of tempting
meats, vegetables and fruits prove ir-
resistible, and usually results in lib
eral purchase. Tom Brunette, the
manager Of this tempting market, is
an old and well known Farmington
boy, with many friends.
1t is mooted question as to wheth-
er or not the ground hog saw his
shadow last Sunday. However, it is
the opinion of The Times that he is a
poor weather bird" if he was out
that day looking for his shadow, and
failed to see it, as the suns rays il
lumined this particular locality for a
brief period several times that day
though generally the day was dark
and cloudy. But it also appears to
make little difference whether his hog
ship saw his shadow or not. The old
superstition is that if he sees his
shadow that day there will be six
weeks more of continued bad weather
If the six additional weeks continues
to be similar to the previous six
weeks. then spring must be near al
hand. That is all.

1t was committed to big game. There
was huge chance on the other side.
If war had continued and the Govern
ment had failed to use every rational
means of providing bread it would
have been deeply blameable. Say we
loose even a billion dollars. We won
the war, and risking the billion dollars
was one of the means of assuring that
we should win it.
And we have not lost any billion
dollars yet. 1t is terribly easy, and
