AGREE ON WHEAT
BILL IN HOUSE
Farmer to Be Paid $2.26 for
Grain and u. S. Stand
Loss in Selling


WASHINGTON, Feb. LEGISLATION
giving the president Discretionary au-
thOrity TO create a new agency or TO
continue any existing one for the pur-
pose of maintaining the governments
guaranteed price for the 1919 wheat
crop was agreed on tonight by the
house agriculture committee The
bill provides a revolving fund of ST.
100000 600 as working capital.
While the farmer is TO be paid $2.2e
for his wheat, the measure provides
that if the intrinsic value" as determ-
ined by the law of supply and demand
is lower. the wheat shall be sold TO
the consumer at the lower price, the
government losing the difference be-
tween the two prices.
With the government given absolute
control of the wheat market in the
United States, members OF the commit
tee said it would be difficult to deter
mine what the price would be if the
usual law OF supply and demand were
in operation, but they thought it
would be based largely on the world
market price. Some witnesses who
have testified at hearings before the
committee have predicted world
price of S1.25 a bushel.
On the basis of such a price the
government would stand a loss of
about 81 bushel, but committee mem
bers would not venture a prediction
as TO what the total loss might be as
forecasts of the 1919 crop depend upon
many factors. The crop is estimated
now at about 1,OOO, 100000 bushels.

CBy Review Leased Wire,

PARIS. Feb. 6.-The close personal
study he has Isade OF conditions in
Germany has convinced 1t. Col Searle
Harris of the United States medical
reserve corps, that the German people
are actually starving. He has just re-
turned to Paris from a visit To Ger
many and says that while a superficial
view of the country gives the impress
sion that the war has not hurt Ger
many, that country, in his opinion. has
suffered more than any other,
Studying the situation as a physi-
clan, Lieutenant Colonel Harris found
that many persons. particularly chill
dren, were very aenemic as they were
not getting enough to eat.
Germany is a land of cemeteries,
HOSPITALS and starvation, he says. No
one knows the number of casualties in
the war. and in his belief mo one will
ever know.
Colonel Harris estimates that the
casualties vary from a million and a
half to three million killed and twice
as many wounded.
The German nation is bankrupt. ac-
cording to this officer, and while he
regards the German people as the
most despised in the world he thinks
that bread and meat should be sent to

HELP GET GIFT OF
100000 TO COUNTY
Good Roads Cost Less Proportionately
Than They Did a Few Yaars Ago
Vote For Bonds Saturday

just double what we had to pay three
years ago, Hence it is easy to see by
this calculation that we gain for
every bushel of corn 4-1O cubic yard
of earth
Three years ago wheat was worth
$3.50 per bushel and macadam was
worth put on the road $1.57 per
cubic yard. Today wheat is worth
1926 per bushel and macadam is
costing $500 per cubic yard placed
on the road, hence you see after
placing one cubic yard of macadam
we have 25 cents left and three years
ago one bushel of wheat lacked 7
cents paying for one yard of macad-
am, hence today we can put on one
yard of macadam and have 32 cents
left.
These statements are real facts and
similar comparisons can be made all
down the line of road construction.
So if you hear the statement that it
will cost more to build good roads
now than it did three years ago, tell
the one who makes such a statement
that good roads are cheaper now than
ever before in the history of Blount
county, and with the chance of State
and federal aid, we certainly cannot
afford not to build good roads while
we have plenty of money to do it
with.
Remember Saturday June 7, is the
election. And each and every voter
in Blount county should go to the
polls and vote for good roads, it is the
first time in our history that we will
get State and Federal aid. We are
just starting in Blount county to
buila gaedgoads and the final ending
will be that good roads viii reach into
each and every community in Blount
county. Those who live out from
Maryville in the rural districts of
Blount county have been helping to
pay for $600,000 worth of good
roads are not kicking about paying
tax for these roads, but this time
those on the pixies and in town have
chance to get good roads into the
rural districts, and it is hoped that
the folks that live on the pixies will
go to the election and vote to get
good roads. The hundreds who live
on the pixies are happy to be out of
the mud, so go to the election June
7th and help others to be happy too.

The election on the issuance of
100000 in pike bonds in Blount
county will be held next Saturday.
From every point in the county come
encouraging reports of the endorse
ment of taxpayers for the issue. 1t
is believed it will carry by big ma
iority Blount county will deny
herself a gift of 100000 right off
the reel if she fails to authorize this
issuance of 100000, thus having
$8O0,OO0 for immediate work, with
likelihood of getting another
$8OO,OO0 from the federal govern
ment.
1t would be bad business for the
county to turn down this opportuni-
ty, and it is believed she will not
turn it down. Vote for bonds Satur-
day, and encourage your neighbor to
vote for bonds.
The following article showing the
low cost of roads at present as COM
pared with a few years ago, has
been figured out by an enthusiastic
road booster who loves to delve into
mathematics. Read it, it is convint-
ing:
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1919-06-04
GOOD ROADS ARE
CHEAPER THAN EVER

Three years ago the contract price
in Blount County was % cents per
cubic yard for earth excavation and
$1.57 per cubic yard for macadam
surfacing. Now the contract prices
for similar work are nearly double,
yet good roads are cheaper than ever
before in the history of Blount
county. Country people today can
buy more roads with their products
than they could few years. ago,
under normal price conditions, while
the price of road building has gone
up the prices which the farmer re
ceives for his product have gone up
also. SO that a bushel of corn or
wheat will buy more good roads than
they could three years ago. Three
years ago corn was selling at from 80
to 85 cents per bushel, then bushel
of corn would pay for moving 3 $40
yards of earth at % cents per cubic
yard. Today corn is worth from
$3.50 to $1.9O per bushel. This will
pay for moving 4 2-10 cubic yards of
earth at "A cents per cubic yard or

S. G.. Alternately, formerly district

Mr.. Alternately is planning to estab-

The banks of the town are going to
finance the proposition, and Mr..

council of advisory members will be
organized soon, and district organiza-

Mr.. Alternately has received notice

department of agriculture has been
r1oanI OF Tho ,1oV,n hil ~
camps, who will give his entire time
to assisting soldiers who are interest
ed in farming. The representatives
at Fort Oglethorpe and Camp Gordon
each have a list of soldiers who wish
to secure work on farms. These
Representatives desire to secure list
of farmers who are willing to employ
one or more soldiers during the sum-
mer.
Mr.. Abernathy has blanks sent him
to be filled in advising of any farmers
who could use soldiers. Those who
will employ them are asked to advise
Mr.. Alternately at once, as his report
must be in by June Is. In giving in
formation to Mr.. Abernathy farmers
are requested to give names, pOstof-
flee address, whether wages will be
paid by the month or by the day;
whether farmer prefers married or
single man, whether board and lodg
ing will be furnished, and the number
of men desired.
Mr.. Alternately can be seen at the
court house or at the residence of
Mr.. j. H. Webb on High street, where
he will be located. His phone num-
