Government May Buy Wheat Crop

Washington-Chea bread may
be one result of the present goverl-
ment effort to reduce the cost of liv
ing. Whether the five cent loaf will
return is problem, but very con-
siderable reduction is not improbable.
The price of wheat is being con-
sidered by cabinet and other high Of
ficers and there is talk of the govern
ment taking over the entire crop at
the guaranteed price of 1925 per BIZ
shell. 1t is believed that ii this l.:
done, flour can be purchased by the
government from millers at So pei
barrel and still allow them moderate
profit for making it. The talk is tha,t
the government would then resell the
flour at Sc per barrel, and thus re.
duce the price of bread. The total
need for the year is estimated at $50,
100000 barrels, and the government
would pay and the price at which il
would sell the -four would be about
half billion dollars. Congress last
year authorized the expenditure of
one billion dollars If necessary tc
maintain the price of this years crop.
and 1t would take about half that
amount to cover the loss on -four u1-
der the proposed plan.

THE PEEVER PILOT
LET'S FINISH THE JOB

Fathers who are planning to send
their sons or daughters to college,
farmers or merchants who are laying
aside money for improvements on
their property within the next few
years and persons with surplus funds
for which they are seeking perfectly
safe investment are urged to study
carefully the new 800 and $1,000
issues of treasury savings certificates
i'll message received to-day from
Theodore Void, governor of the Ninth
District Federal Reserve Bank. The
certificates can be bought in August
for $3.50 and 1888 respectively.
They mature January 1, 1924 at face
value.
t'Supported by the entire credit OF
the United States of America the new
nssues of treasury savings certificates
are safe beyond anything else in the
world" said Governor Wold ''The
money invested is loaned to the gov
eminent of the United States ami
does the nations work at the same
time that it is earning four percent,
compounded every 80 days for the in
weston. This comes to little over four
and quarter per cent for the entire
period of the investment. The money
can also be taken out of the certif-
Gates at any time after two months
by giving 10 days notice to an author
lied treasury department agency"
All postoffices of the first and sec
ond class are authorized to Sell the
$500 certificates and those Of the
81, 900 denomination are handled by
banks and trust companies which
can carry the 500 also. Banks which
have not invested in the certificates
can obtain them by sending draft
to the Federal Reserve bank at Min
neapolis.
The cost of re;;.st arins treasury
certificates for the remaining months
of 1919 will be as follows:-
Month 800 $1,000
August $3.50 $500
September $500 $4,000
October 1920 S42.Ot
November $40 S44.Os
December $3.50 $4,000
