COMMUNITY WORK

Think Of the happiest and at the time the most
wide-awake and progressive family you know-the
which most closely illustrates your idea of family life
Anaze the secret of their and you will probably
find lies in their power of cooperation and compromise
No member insists in carrying out his wishes regard
less of the interests and wishes of the others Each
claims little The real basis of their life is spirit Of
mutual help and forbearance.
The community is only larger family To accom-
pish satisfactory results there must be body of citizens
working together in harmony. And in order to achieve
anything worth while, each must not insist too
strongly upon his wishes and ideas. When he finds
that they conflict with the ideas of others he must be
prepared to yield the less essential details of his plan
or perhaps to attain only part of his object
If the public improvement which he has at heart
seems desirable enough to warrant it. he must be ready
to support his neghbors pet project M it is not distinct
y unworthy one in order to gain the neighbors sup
port to his object He must control his temper stu
dy the personality of the he is dealing WITH tact
and consideration.
These qualities must all cultivate to work
with each other successfully and to do part in the
community life.

WHEAT AND FOODSTUFFS

Well Mr.. High-Cost-of Living is getting some SER
ous blows nowadays He is beginning to feel the effect
but the process will be slow oe and it will be some
time before he is ready to throw up the sponge.
The high prices of the last two years have encourag
ed production in this country tremendously. We have
had great Of wheat and and heavy production
of beef and pork
The calls of the Allies have lessened and the United
States government will require less and less the army
demobiizes. The result will be gradual further lower
ing of prices.
Just the factor in keeping them up seems to be
the governments guarantee of the price Of $26 for the
1919 wheat crop. Wheat is standardizer It keeps up
the prices of the other grains and of feed and conse
Quently of beef and pork.
But the same does not operate in other eoun-
tries We may be put in the anomalous position of pay
ing 226 for wheat when sells in the Argentina for not
much more than half that price.
The Government must keep faith with the farmer.
He has been loyal and willing and has planted wheat at
the Governments request.
Two courses are suggested-one that the Govern
ment should buy the wheat at $226 and sell it at the
market price The other suggestion that the Govern
ent should pay the farmer the difference between S226
and the price at which he sells his crop Either way would
give us wheat and consequently flour and bread at lower
prices and also safeguard the farmer The loss would
ultimately come out of the pockets of the taxpayer

any one time in that period was 4SO,-
100000 bushels. That is, in nine
months the flow Of grain was seven
times the quantity which accumulated

Reinaugurate Permit Plan.
The permit system as operated last
year contemplates the closest cooper
alton between the railroad administra-
ton and the United States food ad-
ministration grain corporation. The
local representatives Of the grain cor
poratlon were in daily contact with
the grain control committees at each
market, and In view of the very COM
prehenslve data and information In
their possession as to storage facili-
ties, anticipated movements out Oh
markets, the needs of different sec
lions Of the country, not only US ~
wheat but as to other cereals that flow
coincidentally with wheat, etc, were
Of invaluable aid in the accomplish
ment of the permit system with
minimum economic disturbance. Inc
same character of assistance Is peing
arranged for from the grain corpora
ton, or the wheat director In anticl-
patton that 1t will be necessary TO re-
inaugurate the permit plan within the
next one or two months.
The wheat director is as vitality In
terested as the railroad administration
that the grain tonnage shall be ham
died with the least possible friction as
between all interests concerned, and
is In entire harmony with the railroad
administration as to the plans pro-
posed In that direction.

Plan Moving of
Big Grain Crops

This system prevented in the fall of
1918 serious transportation paralysis
of former years due to widespread
congestion of traffic which had been
shipped but which could not be dis
posed of at destination. This paraly-
sis of traffic in former years was most
apparent in the East, but its injurl-
country.
While the permit system at the
ports Is still In operation, 1t was sus-
pended few months ago at the in
terror markets, due to improved ocean
shipping and the fact that the bulk of
the grain had been moved. 1t is, how!
ever, to be expected that the system
will again be inaugurated with the
opening of the new wheat season, and
in view of that possibility the railroad
administration is already preparing
the necessary machinery so that 1t
may be prepared to act without delay
at the proper time. Conferences
have already been held with represent
atives of the grain corporation.
AS graphically illustrating the ne
cesslty of regulating the transporta-
tion of this tonnage, and the results
obtained from such regulation, the fol-
lowing facts are of value and interest

Railroad Administration Giving
Careful Consideration to Nee
essary Measures.
EXPECT GREAT WHEAT YIELD
Tonnage OF Grain VIII Exceed That
of Last Year by Large Margin
May Try Permit System
r Again.

Washington.-The railroad admins
trntiOn Is giving careful consideration
to the measures necessary for the sat
isfactory transportation Of the antici-
pated large crops of grains, according
to statement authorized by Walker
d. Hines, director general Of rail-
roads. The department of agriculture
has estimated that the yield of winter
wheat will exceed 000000,0O0 bushels.
A fair estimate of the yield of spring
wheat approximates 300,000000 BUSH
els. The total yield of wheat this
year Will in all probability exceed the
total of last year by from three to
four hundred millions of bushels. No
estimate Of other grains is, of course,
possible at this time, but, barring
unusual climatic conditions, 1t can per-
haps be properly expected that the
tonnage in grain that will be pro-
duced this year will exceed that of
last year by considerable margin.
The stable price fixed last year by
the government on wheat naturally
provoked a desire on the part of the
quickly rs possible, and since stable
price has again been fixed by the gov
ernment for this years crop it is as
sumed similar condition will obtain.
Last year this economical condition,
coupled with more or less disarrange-
ment in ocean tonnage and consequent
disruption in shipping, resulted in
such an acute situation at the interior
grain markets and at seaports, that 1t
became necessary to install the So
called "permit system" which was
early made operative at the ports, and
in September, 1918, at the principal in
terror markets.
Controlling Traffic.
The permit system is highly bene-
fetal system of controlling traffic at
the sources to prevent serious conges.
