ir the highest terms the progressive

new plan will be tremendously TO
the advantage of all concerned in
view OF The substantial aid that may
be secured from Federal sources.
A plan for constructing a trunk
line from the Jackson High way. "A
short distance west of Columbus, di-
rect to Mayhew instead of two par
allel roads running along the south
and north sides OF the West Port
district as planned as present.
Such a change in the plans OF tho
West Port district will enable Tho
district to construct more roads with
the snpple mental government aid,
and give the district fine trunk limo
read.
Government aid is only available
for roads of this character, roads
that connect up highways OF more
than local Importance and that al
ready have been constructed.
Another feature of the plan is that
IL will connect Columbus and the
WestpOrt district and the whole
preirie section with the A. and N.
Cohege, an objective which has been
dreamed Of and sought for many
years. And. too. II will shorten tho

A CORRECTION.

The Dispatch in its Sunday issue
published the statement that two in
dictments had been found against
Capt Guy Jack by the grand jury
of Kemper county. This publication
was based on what was believed to
have been perfectly reliable infor-
nation, and. therefore, it was given
credence. We have learned since
that statements to the effect that
Capt. Jack had been indicted were
mere rumors, and without founda-
ton of fact insofar as official public
announcement is concerned. We
therefore, gladly make this correc-
ton of the statement referred TO.

CHEAPER FOOD
NOW in SIGHT

HOOVER'S $3.50 WHEAT STATE

NO Free Market For Wheat at Pres.
cnt-Govcrnment viii Main
tain Control for BeneHt
of the Consumer.
WASHINGTON.

WASH iNGIONs MdIth -.
Cheaper food in the near future
was predicted today by Chairman
Peak of the Department of Com
merce Industrial Board - a result
of a conference with food admins
tration officials in New York.
Mr. Peak said there had been gen
eral misunderstanding of a recent
statement by Mr.. Hoover that wheat
might go to $3.50 bushel, and add
ed that the billion-dollar grain APP
preparation was made by Congress
to enable the public to get wheat
products at reasonable prices as well
as to make good the guarantee to
the producer.
With wheat prices reasonable, Mr..
Peek said, reasonable prices of other
products could be expected because
wheat was the barometer of the food
trade.
Mr. Peek and William NJ. Ritter, a
member of the board. returned from
New York this morning. where they
went to secure from officials of the
food administration and its grain
corporation a statement of their pol
icy on food prices.
MFR. Peek's Statement.
Mr.. Peek made this statement
Food administration officials felt
that it was unfortunate that there
had been such general misunder-
standing of Mr.. Hoover's statement
that we might see wheat at $3.50 a
bushel'
What Mr.. Hoover said was, we
might see wheat at $3.50 a bushel
as 1t was in the spring of 1917. ii
there is a free market in wheat and
uncontrolled prices. So much foi
the 1918 crop. There can be no free
market OF 90 per cent of the worlds
exports. As to the 1919 crop, II Il
Of course. too early to come TO an,
precise conclusion
at is clear that, as Mr.. Hoover
says, there can be no free market al
preesnt; in the first place because
of the unsettled conditions in bust
ness especially in shipping and
finance.
Further, the passing of the grain
appropriation bill clearly indicates
that the 81 .O00. 10000 aporopria-
tion was made by congress, not only
to make good the $2.26 guarantee tC
the farmers. but to enable the gov
ernment to sell wheat and -four al
the guaranteed prices. or 1T sucl
other prices of the act and to en-,
able the people of the United States
TO purchase wheat products al a rea-
sonable cost, Wheat is the basic food
| commodity. What is a reasonable
cost must be determined by conli
tious. in July the new wheat crop
estimated at more than billion and
quarter bushels. will begin to come
to market
Il believe. therefore. that here is
every reason to expect lower food
prices in the relatively near future
This view | believe the men in charg,
of the affairs of the food admins
| tration will share"
