PRICE OF WHEAT.

One Of the good farmers of Polk
county inquiries of The Capital to
know what is to become of the guar
-lnteed price Of wheat, now that the
war is over. The Capital replies that
there has been no change in the
regulations. The wheat crop of 1919
is guaranteed a price of $226 per
bushel at primary markets. Adjust
ments have been made for the differ
ent markets of the country, taking
this as a basis. 1t is expected that
this price Will be maintained until
June, 1920, thus giving every farm
er an opportunity to market his 1919
wheat crop at the figure named. We
believe the government will keep
faith with the people. The Presi-
dent has ample authority to fix the
price under the food act, and there
can be no reason for questioning his
good faith in the matter. 1t is quite
possible that the government may
lose some money by maintaining
wheat at this price; but the govern
ment lost money on ammunition,
clothing, guns, ships, airplanes. and
everything else connected with the
war. 1t was wise to offer this fixed
price for wheat because the allies
needed the wheat and what the gov
eminent may lose on wheat will be
nothing compared with the disaster
which would have followed failure
in the wheat supply.-Des Moines

WHEN WILL PRICES COME
DOWN?

To buy or not to buy is the prob
lem that worries the merchant as he
closes his books and takes his in
ventOries for the year. To build or
not to build is the problem that
worries the investor who would i'm
business expansion in his home town.
When are prices and wages coming
down? is the economic question
mark in every home in the land.
OF course nobody knows but the
experience following the civil war in
this country is known. That was a
small industrial shock compared to
the cataclysm of this world war and
yet it took a larger per centage of
the men of that day into the army
than this war drafted in the United
States. 1t must have placed an in
dustrial load on the country fully as
difficult to bear.
At any rate Duns reports show
that prices doubled and trebled dur
ing the civil war and that they start
ed to decline even few months be
fore Lees surrender They contin-
ued on the toboggan for five years
and finally stopped at net decline of
77.5 per cent of the amount they
had risen. That is, it took prices
five years to fall back about three
Nourths of the distance they had
NlmDeu up.
\ Wages were the first to drop when
the munition factories closed and the
soldiers came home but wages re-
covered little after the initial
shock OF rehabilitation. They con-
tinued to improve until the panic of
1873 Nand it is noteworthy that fol-
lowing the civil war there was five
year period of falling prices from
war levels then four years boom
which "Austed" in the panic of '73.
Materials, too, began to fall in
price at the close of the war and
went down rapidly until all prices
touched bottom. Wages were seri-
ously depressed during the panic
when men we're out of work and
factories were closed but after the
panic the fever of war seemed to
have been thoroughly eliminated
from the country's system and there
was a long period during which
there was stability to things. The
h. c. of l. was unknown because
prices changed very slowly and fixed
incomes were able to overtake ex-
penses. Business men could plan for
years ahead because neither wages
nor materials changed much while
builders could plan upon next years
house costing about the same as last
years house. Things got back to
rock bottom within ten years after
the going was good for everybody.

Wrens Are Socidble

The house wren is one of the most
sociable and confding of birds and on
this account they will build their nests
in little houses that are built for them
no matter how close this is to a hu-
man habitation, says the American
Forestry Association. Washington,
whose bird building contests is arous-
ing widespread interest among school
children throughout the nation in bird
life and conservation. Furthermore,
the wren is one of the most valuable
of birds. for it feeds. entirely on In
sects and thus helps to save the trees
and the vegetables in the garden from
the pests which would eat them. The
wren builds its nest of grass or weeds
stuffed into any crevice that takes its
fancy.

THE worst possible time to plan a
= marketing menu is just after eat
ing, while to leave the actual plan
ming until you are in the markets
will not only prove more expensive,
but will frequently result in over
buying.
Keep this fact plainly in mind
that the planning of a menu and
marketing list will entail very little
additional work. 1t may be changed
in order to care for unexpected
guests and still be prepared week
or two in advance. In this way it
takes less time and outlay for foods
required if definite arrangement is
kept in mind.
A well-planned menu will provide
for market conditions and care for
leftovers. Before making menu
see what foods are on hand and plan
to utilize them. To allow half can
of corn or peas or tomatoes to stand
in the icebox and spoil is not only
wasteful, but careless as well. If
you find that only a spoonful or two
is left over utilize this small amount
for garnishes, with omelets or in
vegetable salads.
Old potatoes are now beginning
to sprout unless carefully conserved
and the new ones are expensive.
Now is a splendid time to provide
variety by serving rice and hominy
to replace the potatoes. Washed
lima, navy and soy beans are also
good.
