At a Greek workshop in Athens, American workmen arc mak- ing American artificial limbs and are, instructing Greek workmen in the art.
 The American workmen have taken temporary charge of the school for the mutilated of the Greek army until Greek superintendent and Greek workmen can be trained to take over the plant The artificial legs will be fitted and given to Greek soldiers. It is the intention of the Greek government to see that every soldier who needs one is pro- vided with an American artificial leg.
 An artificial limb weighing only four pounds and now being supplied to hundreds of mutilated soldiers who formerly had crude peg legs and cumbersome 20 pound artificial limbs of another pattern. The joy of these men at being able once more to move around easily is daily ex-

 As corollary part of this work, the American Red Cross also is sup porting a school for the rceducation of the mutilated. At this school the disabled are being taught useful trades of all kinds including tailor ing, shocmaking, carpentcring, metal working, baskctry, and stenography and typing. For this latter work a large number of American >typcwrit- CTS with Creek characters arc needed.

SPECIAL PRICE
FOR Low GRADE
WHEAT IS FIXED
U. S. Grain Corporation An
nounces Scale Effective
Sept. 2-DeaIers Must
Pay Set Prices.

A schedule of prices for lower
grades of wheat, effective Septem-
Der 2, over the entire country. was
announced by the United States
grain corporation, in a bulletin is
sued by the local offices.
This action is the result of con-
ference between Wheat Director
Julius H. Barnes and the officers
of the grain corporation. This
conference followed meeting at
New York on Tuesday when Direct
or Rarnes discussed the proposition
of fixing prices for these grades,
with congressman and representa-
tives of the farmers.
A feature of the schedule an
nounced is, that it has been fixed
relative to the guaranteed price at
terminal markets only, and not as
to the current prices at many mar
kets, which are considerably above
the guaranteed figures.
The immediate effect is to sta
bilize the price for the lower grades
and to assure the producer fixed
amount for wheat of this quality.
This removes all prospect of grades
of this kind going to Chicken feed"
prices, as has been feared by many
farmers.
The Bulletin.
The corporations bulletin fixing
the schedule is as follows:
After two days consideration by Wheat
Director Barnes with the officers of the
United States Grain corporation of the
problem raised in respect to this years
wheat crop suffering from the effects of
adverse weather conditions during the
growing and harvesting season, the grain
corporation has reframed its scale of dis
counts for the lower grades of wheat on
basis calculated to give the producer
the benefit Of every doubt as to the value
OF lightweight wheat, in order to protect
so far as possible those producers in wide
sections that have suffered unfavorable
crop developments with the production of
an unusual quantity of low-grade wheat.
Effective September 3.
This scale is effective September 2, and
all dealers will be required to pay pro-
ducers not less than the proper country

GROWERS PRICE
Testifies That Eastern Fruit
Can Be Shipped in Cheaper
Than Nebraska Grow
ers Ask.

Lincoln, Aug. 2S.-Charging that
Nebraska apple growers were re-
sponsible because New York apples
were sold in Nebraska, because the
local growers asked such a high
price that it was cheaper to ship in
eastern fruit, c. c. Whitnack. Lin
coin "carlot' man, appeared before
the food probe committe at the
state house and occupied most of
the forenoon in explanation OF his
method of handling produce.
Mr.. Whitnack has no storehouse.
He simply buys from the producers
and sells his stock while it is NOV
ing. In fact, he said that he sold
95 per cent of the stuff purchased
before it arrived at its destination.
A great deal of his business is done
with the farmers union associa-
tons in small towns, which buys
the fruit for distribution among the
members.
Farmers Storing Apples
Nebraska apple growers are al
ready putting a price of 81 to So a
barrel on their apples, according to
Mr.. Whitnack, and if they do not
get that price they refuse to sell,
storing the apples until they can get
what they want. Most of the storage
was made in Omaha and Lincoln, he
believed.
Mr.. Whitnack admitted that on a
cash capital of $4,000 he had done
about 100000 business and had
made a gross profit of $4,000, of
which about $4,000 was net. He
said that his gross profit was from
4 IL to sl-2 per cent and that he
turned his stock about so times a
year. The farmers took most of his
stuff, because they could divide up
a car. However, he was compelled
sometimes to sell to the jobber what
he might have left, and sometimes
this was at a loss. He said that
