Federal Wheat Director Pre-.
diets Drop in Price of
Wheat, However
GOVERNMENT MAY
LOSE LITTLE MONEY
Yet Unprecedented Foreign Demand
Will Protect it from Heavy Loss
Consumers Will Pay Same Rates as
Foreign Purchasers.

NEW YORK, April 23-Despite
maintenance of the government guar
anteed price in the face of an Ameri-
can wheat crop which will probably
break all records, domestic consumers
win not pay more for the product dur
ing the coming year than the rates con-
currently accepted from foreign buy
ers, julius H. Barnes, newly appointed
federal wheat director, assured the pub
lie in statement here outlining the
policies of his administration.
Accepting the department of agricul-
lures estimate of the largest winter
wheat crop in history and making al
lowance for unfavorable weather con
ditions which held the spring crop back
two weeks, Mr.. Barnes predicted that
meriea's 1919 wheat yield would tax
to the utmost the country storage
, railroad and shipping facilities. He ex
pected reduced wheat and wheat prod
ucts prices within two months-they
are now above the government fair
price level owing TO the heavy export
dcmand-but saw little chance of thu

The cost of flour was only As per cent
of the cost of bread, he said. and witt

If Farmers Should strike.
(Fitehburg Sentinel.l

The department of labor reports that
despite the surplus labor, the efforts
Of the United States employment serv-
ice to secure labor for work on the
farms have met with little success.
1t may not be seemly for one who is
not getting living in an agricultural
occupation to remark that there must
be some who are willing to farm it for
a living. Not all of us can be laborers
in mechanical industries, workers in
shops, mills and factories, be machin-
lists, railroad engineers, fremen, train
men, telegraphers, telephone operators,
carpenters, joiners, painters, puddlers,
tailors, clerks in stores and all the
diversified occupations in which human
beings engage, neglecting entirely the
occupation of farming. 1t is fearful to
contemplate what would become of us
all if every last farmer now in the land
should go on asStrike and say that there
would be nothing doing in the farming
line until their demands were met.
Not q chance? Well, who is there
that can place the exact limits of col
lective bargaining? Wages should be
made higher because the cost of living
is higher. The cost of living is higher
because wages are higher. Where does
the farmer come in in this merry GO
round? Sometime the point may be
reached when the wages of the machin-
list may become so high that the farmer
will become disturbed about the amount
of his own wages, may come to think
that everybody else is taking it out or
him. Then the farmers may begin to
think about the solidarity of their in
dustry. The federation of the farmers
would be able to bring all the rest of II,
to our knees begging for mercy.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy
and youthful with simple mixture
of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray, streak
ed and faded hair is grandmother s reel
pc, and folks are again using it to keep
their hair a good even color, which is
quite sensible, as we are living in an age
when youthful appearance is of the
greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don t have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All drug
stores sell the ready-to-use product. i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents, called "Wyeth s Sage and Sui
phur Compound 1t is very popular
because nobody can discover it has been
applied. Simply moisten your comb or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few appli-
cations, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
so attractive.-Ady

AN ovERBURDENED MOTHER

If the steps mother takes and the
work she does could only be measured
by figures, what an array they would
make. Through girlhood, wifehood and
motherhood woman tolls on, often suf-
fering from backache, pain in side, head
ache, nervousness and sleepless, symp-
toms of more serious ailments peculiar
TO her sex. Thousands of such women,
however, have found relief from suffer-
ing by taking Lydia f. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, as is evidenced by the
letters of recommendation continually
being published in this paper.

the wood on an eighteen acre tract of
land free. The land must be cleared

fered injuries about the head, body

$10,0 600 will be required to finance the
cutting and delivery of this wood.
Committee members will borrow the
sum on personal property.
-'Pt'' Young, a contractor, has
agreed to deliver the wood in Topeka
freight paid, at Sc per ton. If the
wood cannot be sold by weight this
price may be changed. Handling and
delivering at this end will cost about
81, making the price to consumers 81
per ton, or about $14 a cord.
r, ]. Hopkins, attorney general, has
announced that the fair price commits
sion will ask Jess Willard to reduce
his price. Altho he was expected here
for a special conference with mem
bers of the wood committee on two
different days, Willard has not yet ar
rived. Members of the committee
blame themselves for acceptance of
the contract they now find undesir-
able.
Credit should be given Willard how
ever, for his offer to give free to the
poor whatever wood the city cared to
take out for charitable purposes, the
city paying the cost of cutting and
hauling. Some of this has already
been given to destitute families.
Expense of hauling caused the re-
lection by the committee, of standing
wood located at Shepard and Thomp-
