Grain, Flour and Feed.

Wheat-Such demand as there is,
continues to be on milling account.
The winter wheat plant, particularly
in the Pacific northwest, is the best
in many years. Local quotations are
unchanged at 5000, $2.O7, $2.O5 and
$500.
Flour-There is a well sustained
movement, both on domestic and gov
eminent export account Because of
the increased return from the by
product-millfeed- is an easier
tone and government regulation flour
is off 20 cents to $1,000 Mills are
starting grinding patents again, and
while the price is somewhat unsettled
yet, it will probably be close to $11.
Feed-There have been no further
changes since the second jump in bran
and shorts, noted last week. Hay
and other feeds are apparently steady.

However, of the winter wheat plant
ed about 100000 acres were aban-
doned. From this planting there was
(estimated) harvested 917,10O 900
bushels. For the harvest of 1919 it is
estimated that there have been plant
ed 49,261, 900 acres of winter wheat,
an increase of 16.5 per cent over the
winter wheat planted in the fall of
1917, for the crop of 1918. The spring

If the crop of 1919 should be to any
considerable amount in excess of the
1918 crop, as now seems probable, it
will be necessary to provide additional
wheat-storage capacity to carry out
the guaranteed price of wheat for the
1919 crop. Storage capacity is essen
tial, for the guaranteed price is linn
tied to the first of June, 1920, and
producers will certainly rush their
wheat to market. in order not to be
caught on June l, 1920 with wheat on
hand, and the United States must take
the wheat when offered.
s. In conclusion, we submit the fol
lowing:
(al The guaranteed price of every
producer" is only effective provided
the wheat is Offered for sale before
the first day of June, 1920" 1t will
be impossible to carry out this guar
anty as it is intended by June 1, 1920
and if producers cannot sell their
wheat to the United States before that
date and are left with wheat on hand,
it will be felt that the obligation of
the United States has not been carried
out in good faith. Therefore, congress

ROOSEVELT GREATER
 DEAD THAN ALIVE

Washington, January 15.-tSpecial.) Theodore Roosevelt like many of his predecessors, will be greater dead than alive, according to Representative Hicks, on the introduction of his bill appropriating s250,O00 for the erection of monument to the late ex-Presi- dent.
 Chairman Will Hayes of the repub- lican national committee, holds identi- cal views. He is chairman of a sub- committee named to collect funds for the erection of a Roosevelt monument by republicans
 In Washington where, before his death, Roosevelt was praised and ,e- viled with equal energy, the memory of the man is almost hallowed. Last Sunday preachers preached his virtues, and every choir in the city sang his favorite song, "How Firm a Founda- tion"

SUFFRAGETTES NOW
 RESORT TO TEARS

Washington, January 15.-(Special.) The militant suffragettes who have dis played such boldness in burning the speeches of the President, and in defiance of officers of the law, are now resort ing to tears entirely feminine.
 They have appealed to Secretary Dan- iels, and Acting Secretary Polk of the state department for support against that which they term their unwarranted ar rest without warning for maintaining fires in public parks.
 And they have represented to their friends in Congress that the prison in which they have been confined was in- fested with ravenous rats, one of which, an especially ferociops monster of the "blue-gray variety actually "bit one of

LEWIS NOT EAGER
 FOR PORTFOLIO

Washington, January 15-(Speclal) The general impression is that Presi- dent Wilson will tender the post of Attorney General, vice T. W. Gregory, whose resignation will be effective March 4, to Senator James Hamilton Lewis, who was defeated for re-elec- tion in Illinois.
 It is thought probable that MT. Lewis will decline. He has already refused to become the democratic candidate for mayor of Chicago, a post to which he could have been elected. The action of the President, if taken, will be in the nature of compliment. He is said to be particularly fond of his ardent supporter from Illinois.
 Senator Lewis contemplates resump- tion of the practice of law in Chicago.

LONGWORTH BITTER
 ABOUT MUSCLE SHOALS

Washington, January 15.-(Special) ) In the orgy of investigations for politi cal reasons which the republicans threat en to initiate Muscle Shoals will not escape.
 Representative Nicholas Longworth says that he will insist that the great Alabama project be inquired into. He formally declares it to be crime to con- tinue construction on the dam, which he contends will cost $14,000,O00, and cannot be completed before the passage of an- other four years.
 Muscle Shoals is the Longworth par ticular bete noir. He never loses an op- portunity to criticize the project, and his terms of expression are not confined to the lexicon of conventional society. He is especially embittered because the President, according to his information, put $45, 100000 in the nitrate plants-a sum which he extracted from a $S00, ,0O0, 600 war appropriation
 Longworth says the President took this action after a commission had unani- mously decided against locating the plants at Sheffield. He is deeply concerned with water that has passed over the mill.

WILL FIGHT NEXT
 ON CIGARETTES

Washington, January 15.-(Special) According to deduction from a statement of the department of agriculture, the world will not be free of immoral habits and customs even after the last drop of distilled liquor is consumed and de- stroyed-after passage of new legislation making it's manufacture in the hills an absolute impossibility
 The evl of the cigarette promises to be the next evil exploited for moral, poli- tical, financial and other reasons. For the department learns that last year S9,- GOO, ,0OO,OO0 cigarettes were manufactured in the United States, four times as many as were made seven years ago. The de- partment learns that practically all or them will be smoked in the United States.
 In this connection, it is interesting to recall press dispatches that forerun- ner of the anti-cigarette campaign IS now in Alabama gathering data and funds for the passage of an anti-cigarette Dill through the legislature.

FLYING SCHOOL PLANS
 STILL UNDEVELOPED

Washington. January 15.-(Special) It is admitted that press dispatches from Columbus, O., to the effect that flying school, comparable to West Point and Annapolis, may be construct ed in the United States, are true. But the war department has no record Ina | contemplates action has reached sucn stages that Congress may be appealed to for authority within any reason ably short time.
 The report says that Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacher has been ordered back to the United States to found such a school, and that he will be assisted by seven other American "aces." This re- port is not confirmed. Rickenbacher. formerly an automobile driver, was the leading American "ace" developed by the war

Washington January 15.-(Special) The administration has asked for au- thority to appoint 25 new consuls and 15O vice consuls. Such provision will be included in the pending diplomatic appropriation bill. The request for au thority is the result of the administra- tion's determination to extend the after-t -the-war trade of the United States.
 An appropriation of $S,000,OO0 for the purchase of foreign embassies has been approved by the committee hand ling the bill.

TO MAKE FIGHT ON
 SIX ELTON WILLIAMS

Washington, January 15.-(Special) ) The republicans in the Senate have agreed to fight the nomination of John Skelton Williams comptroller of currency. if the President should send in his name February 3.
 The law provides that the term of the comptroller shall be one of five years. The republicans, counting on electing republican senator in 1920, dis like the prospect of a democrat presid- ing over one of the most important bu- reaus of the government until February 2 1924. So they will fight the nomina. tion.
 In this connection, the republicans claim that if it should become necessary three of four democrats would fail to DC present when the vote on the nomination of Williams is ordered. It is intimated that many democrats would be willing that Williams be defeated.
 The President will probably renominate MT. Williams.

The Director of the Census has an
nounced an examination for the posi-

sisting of the filling out of a sample
schedule of population from data

ators whose work will be in rural
districts, the filling out of sample
schedule of agriculture.
Each applicant will be furnished
