LOW WHEAT PRICE
WOULD BRING CHAOS
Director Barnes Says Decentralization
Would Result From Forced
Down Price.

New York, June 10.-Maintenance
of the government price of $2.26 a
bushel to the wheat producer is abb
solutely necessary to assure the pro-
duction needed to care for world
wants, it was declared here by Julius
Barnes, United States wheat director,
presiding at a conference of $50 rep
resentatives of the grain industries
of this country.
at is evident with the size Of the
crop now in sight that the pressure
for marketing will shortly force
wheat prices in this country back to
the government guarantee basis, +"
Mr.. Barnes said, "and that buying OF
wheat in large quantities by the gov
eminent will be the decisive factor
in wheat prices in this country, es-
tablishing them at tina guaranteed
level.
"Those who would restore the
farm prices of past years or depres-
sion in this era of increased prices of
labor, machinery and all the supplies
that farmers require would tend to
throw the largest basic industry of
America into confusion and that de-
moralization that would reach far
beyond the confines Of the agricul-
tural class alone"
Mr.. Barnes declared that wheat
must be made the subject of unre-
strained and unthinkable speculation,
and that "it is unthinkable that large
private profits should accrue from
food"

PROBE DEMAND
Ed BY STANLEY
Former Kentucky Governor Startles
Colleagues BY Request for an
Investigation.

Washington, D. c., June 10.-Sen-
ator Stanley of Kentucky today call
ed on Senator Penrose, who is the
political if not the titular, leader of
the senate and demanded that an in
vestigation be made of his conduct
as governor by the senate committee
on privileges and elections. This
move was a genuine surprise. 1t was
the first time, so far as the oldest
senators are aware, when man who
had been elected to the senate de-
manded that an investigation be
made of rumors which, if found true
would affect his eligibility to serve
as senator.
Foremost among the accusations
which were rumored about as the
basis for the proposed investigation
and the claim that Stanley, as gov
ernor, and by reason of his control
over the exemption boards, had Sc
cured immunity from military serv-
ice for Kentuckians on basis of
votes delivered into the Democratic
column.
Senator Stanley waited for the
formal charge to come, but none APP
peared, and he decided to take the
initiative in starting an investiga-l
ton of his own acts when he went to
Senator Penrose and formally re-
quested that the investigation be
held. He submitted the following
proposition:
1. He agreed to furnish list of
Kentucky officeholders whom he had
appointed while governor and submit
his fate to their testimony, the list
to be composed exclusively and en-
tirely of Republicans.
2. He agreed that if the commit
tee on privileges and elections found
that he prostituted his high Office as
governor to manipulate the draft
board from exempting from service
rich and influential youths who
would have been sent to fight under
a normal operation of the draft law,
he would resign his seat in the SEN
ate, to make good his promise that he
would not call single Democratic
witness, but would call only Repub-
icans, who certainly would have mo-
interest in his political future.
y Senator Stanley suggested the
names of a number of Kentucky Re-
bublicans as witnesses. These Re-
publican appointees of Stanley in
clude Fred Saekett of Louisville,
state food commissioner; Richard
Stoll of Lexington, Maj. E. S. Hell
burn of Middlesboro, and a member
of the exemption appeal board, and
others.
Senator Stanley said that if he had
been guilty while governor of the
practices limited at by his accusers,
especially with reference to juggling
the draft boards, he was not fit to
serve in the senate.

NEW ERA DAWNs FOR WORLD
With the Conquest Of the Air, Life
Has Changed From the Old
Scheme Of Things.

DO the people Of today realize tho
great changes which now are moving
over the scheme Of the universe2
I'VE should look we'll on the old or
der before 1t has faded away: We
stand ON the edge OF the new epoch in
the history of mankind. In the air we
have just conquered new element OF
inconceiyabie immensity. With the
palms of victory in every hand we
have slightly overwhelming sense OF
our power.
Almost in q moment the span Of the
world has shrunk to a quarter OF Its
former size. Where We thought IN
countries now we think in continents.
Where we thought in days now we
think In hours. observes writer In
London Daily Mail.
We have the power Of throwing q
girdle round the earth. Remote Aus
tralia suddenly draws close. Green
land and Spitzbergen loom over US.
Rome and Christiania and Amsterdam
are quaint foreign suburbs of London.
Nation almost merges into nation.
Perhaps the desire Of ages may by a
glorious fraction draw nearer and the
splendor of world peace and peace
full world may materialize a little
through the air.
Now should we take our fill of the
old scheme of things. In twenty years
time our life today will seem 10000
years old. The ancient civilizations OF
Rome and Egypt will not be more
legendary. How lucky are we. who
are young, to be able to see this swift
and dazzling age Of the air move
triumphantly into being.
No longer is Japan an unattafnable
dream. The Nile lies but day and
q half away. On glorious honeymoons
we can slip away into the star-bedow-
cred darkness Of the East to drift at
dawn above some fragrant island OF
/ Greece.
Over the rolling whiteness OF the
limitless cloudland, under a limitless
sky of unimagined depths, we will
wing our long and easy way through
a health-inspiring wind to the golden
/ sun-drowsed beaches Of the southern
seas.
This new life will not spoil our love-
" world. Less than the train or the
whirling car will our journeyings dis
turb the earth. On the blue above our
white wings will glitter, for mo-
ment-a little murmuring as Of bees
will sink to the ground below and we
shall be gone. The world, unstained
and pure, goes on rejoicing into the
era Of the air.
