An administration bill carrying an
of 81, ESQ, 000, 900 will be
in congress in a few days,
the purpose of which will be to care
for the governments guaranteed
price of 1920 wheat for the 1919 crop.
The situation since the war closed
is most critical as all Eastern store
houses are filled with -four and there
is at present an estimated surplus Of
600, 100000 bushels of the 1913 wheat
crop in the elevators and in the
granaries of the farmers.
Undoubtedly when President Wilson
named the 1919 wheat price last
September he had no inkling that
Germany would quit cold in few
weeks. The result is a complete
decentralization of the milling industry.
The signing of the arnnistice has
opened the highways to large amounts
of wheat from Australia and other
countries and this is being dumped on
the European market in competition
with the American guaranteed price
of 1920 per bushel. =.
Under this bill as drawn, govern
ment authority to control grain deal
ers, millers and elevators "by license
or other like powers" would be con-
tinued and the President would be au-
thorized to "create any agency or
agencies" to buy the 1918 and 1919
wheat crops, wheat products and 9TH
er foodstuff and feeds" at the guar
anteed prices. regulate export and inn
port Of wheat, require preferential
railroad service as long as the rail-
roads are under government control,
control grain exchanges and prohibit
trading upon them Eat such time OF
times as may be deemed desirable OF
proper to meet market conditions and
competitive prices of foreign grown
wheat and to prescribe such rules and
regulations as may be deemed neces,
sary to protect the government Of the
United States from paying the guar.
anteed prices aforesaid for any wheat
other than that covered by proclama
tions.o
In addition the President, through
the agency he would designate, coult
also sell, either domestically or by ex
port wheat,wheat products or by-prod
ucts at a profit or loss, GAS in tn
Judgment Of such agency may be nee
essary."
He also could lease, buy or requisi
ton storage space and prescribe tn
terms to be paid for it.
In transcitting the measure to tn
committee. Chairman William A.Glas
, gov. Jr., chief counsel for the Food ad
Illustration, wrote that the Legislation
was requested in order to "maintai
the guarantees in their integrity t
the United States from loss if that b
possible. 49,.
Thus far there has been no estimat
as to what the cost to the government
Of maintaining the 1919 prices woul
be. Officials have said that it depend
ed largely upon European needs, tn
amount Of stocks in Arpentina, Austria
liza and Canada, and whether or nc
Russia would have available supple
for export. j
The Department of Agriculture hs
estimated that the total import whes
requirements for Europe, includin
Germany and Austria, would likel
exceed 28,0O0,O00 bushels this yea
The surplus stock from Canad
Argentina and Australia was estima
ed at 495, 900, 900 bushels. From IL

CH|LD'S PRESENCE
Of MIND SAVES GIRL
FROM DROWNING
CHILDREN WADING IN RIVER
WHEN ONE STEPS IN DEEP
HOLE AND DISAPPEARS

While in company with a number of
other children from the neighbcrhood
where she was visiting at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Rowlcy, in
Orleans, little Miss Cecil Stoddard
of Edmore, came very near drowning
Monday when she stepped into deep
hole in Flat river and disappeared in
the water. Only the presence of mind
of one of the girls companions, Miss
Eriean Ten Eyck, cf Grand Rapids
who saw the girls body floating under
the surface and pushed pole down
to her, to which the drowning girl
chung, saved her life.
The Stoddard girl, together with
Eriean Ten Eyck, of Grand Rapids and
Hite and Florence Rowley, children
of Frank Rowley had gone to Flat
river tc wade in the water and the
Stoddard child went too far ont and
stepping into a deep hole and being
unable to swim went down. The
Ten Eyck girl with pole succeeded in
getting her out and while they were
getting word to older people for help
the children, applied first aid methods
as best they understood them, them
selves, one of the children, believing
in the efficacy of prayer in such cases
implorino the others to "Pray for
her" repeatedly while the others
worked over her.
A physician from this city was call.
ed at once and was soon there and the
child was properly attended and
brought back to consciousness and
taken to the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Frank Rowley, where she is at the
present time very weak from her~near
fatal experience, but on the road to
recovery. When first taken from TIE
water the child showed no signs Of
life and it was some time after the
people started in to work over her
that she gave evidence that the work
of resuscitation was to be rewarded.

1t. Evan 5. Rusher, better known
among his local friends as plain "Bill''
got off from the evening train up from
Grand Rapids, Friday, and for a few
days was circulating around here re-
newing pre-war acquaintance. Bill
was formerly head clerk in the Fris-
toe & Divine store and enlisted when
this country went to war. He went
through an officers training school
and was commissioned a lieutenant.
After considerable spell spent in
this country wondering which army
mule was going to kick him next and
wondering Why the government sent
him all over America and just what
effect his travels in the states were
having on the Kaiser, he was sent
overseas, where he remained until
recently when he was shipped for
home. He left here Tuesday morning
for his parents home, in Indiana.
