FORWARD OR BACKWARD

Next year the government will not
fix any guaranteed price for wheat
and the crop will either be marketed
in the old way, with the spectators
making and manipulating prices, or
under new system in which the pro-
ducers will have voice in the price
fixing.
Farmers generally are not salts
fled with the idea of going back to
the old system, but it remains to be
seen whether they are progressive
enough TO force the adoption of Il
new and better one.
Such system has been outlined
in the plan for the cooperative mar
keting of wheat, but no one but the
farmers themselves can put it in OPP
GRAFTON. The buyers favor the old
plan and will use every effort to
maintain it. The great bulk of con-
sumers are Indifferent and it is up to
the wheat growers to work out their
own salvation.
If they have more faith in each
other than they have in the speculat-
ors; ii they prefer to pay adequate
salaries to secure competent men to
sell their wheat at the highest prices
justified by the law of supply and de-
mand, rather than to pay the salaries
OF men employed to buy their wheat
at the lowest possible price; if they
are willing to cooperate in pooling
their crops instead OF selling them in
dividually; if they are ready to de-
vote their thought and energy to rails

and to entrust the selling of the

to experts employed for that pur-
pose; then there is nothing to pre-
vent the cooperative marketing OF
the crop by the growers.
Under this system, they would be
assured of just price, in the fixing
of which they would have a voice
Manipulation of the market by specu-
lators would be TO a large extent
eliminated. The farmers would not
be compelled TO sell their wheat as
soon as harvested, in order to pay
their bills, as their cooperative as
ISOLATION would be able TO pay them
the loan value of their crop as soon
as delivered, and pay their addition
al share OF the price of the pooled
wheat, when it is actually sold. This
would mean the market would not
be glutted at any one time. with a re-
sulting depreciation in price. but
that the wheat would be distributed
gradually as required by the normap
demand
There can be no question that the
proposed system would greatly bene-
fit the farmers or that it is simple
and feasible, provided enough OF the
producers will unite in adopting il.

tion is impossible between Baya, no miles south of Budapest, to Pris- bourg, like distance to the north. This section of the stream is con- tro1led by the Magyar revolutionists and is heavily mined. The section of the river from Prisbourg to Passaw i'll Bavaria is open, and the commis- sion is nov actively engaged in res toring traffic from Passaw to Ulm. The restoration of through traffic on the great river highway therefore awaits only the restoration of nor nal conditions in the Magyar area.
 In addition to his control of com mercial traffic Admiral Troubridge is in supreme command of the allied naval force on the Danube, which embraces a total of approximately thirty craft, British, French, Serbian, JugO-Slav and ,Rumanian This force is almost a new creation, the crews representing a dozen nations and the ships coming from many sources, some of them being prizes of war.

REASONABLE ARTICLE
 WRITTEN BY SEAMAN

WITH THE PACIFIC FLEET, SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4 (by Associated Press). s).-"Passing out the Dope" is the title of an editorial in the last edition of the "Gunnery Bulletin" issued aboard the New Mexico, flag ship of the Pacific fleet. It gives suggestions for the treatment of civi- Han visitors aboard the ship.
 It follows in part:
 Ever since we have been on the west coast we have been thronged almost daily with visitors curious to get a glimpse of life in the navy. Most of them have never been aboard a man-of-war as big and modern as the New Mexico, and, of course, they are going to ask questions to which, to us, the answers seem apparent. Think a minute, though: There has been a day when to all of us ship was just as strange and just as new and we asked exactly similar ques- tions.
 "Of course, the temptation to give a fool reply is strong, but, fortunate ly, few of us have succumbed to that temptation. However, such state ments have been heard as the follow ing: Now these shells (referring to the anti-submarine shells in the five-inch gun casements) are for tar get practice, because the blunt nose makes a bigger hole in the target and it is easier to count the score,' and others just as asinine.
 That may be funny, but it is not true. As we said, incidents like that are rare, but they should not occur at all.
 "The sole reason this navy of ours has for it's existence is to protect the United States and it's people, and, as the expense of our existence falls on the people they have a right to know the truth about us. We are a form of national insurance and the nation should know as much about us as it does of it's fire or life insur- ance. Send them away satisfied that they are efficiently insured"

BLUEDANUBEIS
 COMMANDEDB
 BRITISH FORCE


 the Danube, Hungary, Aug. 20 Cor respondence of Associated Press) = Sir Ernest Thomas Troubridge, ad- miral commanding the Danube, for the inter-allied commission, in an interview on his flagship today described the success which so far has marked the efforts of the con- mission ''to promote the commercial use of the Danube" since June 1 when control of the river passed into it's hands
 The commission, which is tempor- ary, is responsible to the Supreme Economic Council at Paris. It's other members are the Marquis de Below, captain of the French marine; Count Dentici, an Italian colonel, and Henry James, an American. The prompt and effective manner ill which trans port facilities on the Danube were restored by the commission is we'll known to all observers of events in the Balkans. How it was accom- plished is another story.
 Admiral Troubridge, who partici- pated in the naval defense of Bel grade in 1915 and in the great Ser bian retreat, is credited with his col leagues as doing much toward re- construction in southeastern Europe. For two years he was a representa- tive of the British war cabinet at Saloniki and came north with the advancing armies, reaching Belgrade on the day the Austrians fled.
 ''Early in November of 1918," he said there was not single steam ship available for service on the Dan- ube. So we had to begin at the very beginning. It was the aim of the Austrians that all shipping should escape up the river to safety beyond Vienna. But as the ships raced north ward they were fired upon from the shores by the Jugo-Slav revolution aries. As a result, many of the crews deserted and a number of ships were surrendered or beached. This gave us a nucleus for the reorganiza- tion of service.
 Every difficulty confronted us. We had to secure and organize new crews, repair machinery and landings. The armies had to be moved and an immense volume of traffic awaited handling Also there was a great shortage of coal. We secured some along the river, and later from Sara ievo, but the great bulk had to be fur nished by Great Britain. Three thou sand tons were supplied regularly each month. Service had been re- sumed to Semlin, permitting connec- ton with the railway terminus; to PanchOva and to Novi-Sad..
 AS rapidly as possible steamers were put in operation up the Save and down the Danube. The ravi- taillement and fuel supply of several countries and the movement of armies and refugees awaited this service "When the steamer service was turned over to the government at Belgrade on July l." continued the admiral i've were handling conner cial freight at Belgrade at the rate of 3,OOO,OO0 tons a year, and there was available passenger and commer- cial service from Belgrade for an average daily distance of 1,600 miles" The jurisdiction of the commission is from Sulina, at the mouth of the river, to New Ulm, in Bavaria. Steam CTS ply on various sections of the river from Sulina to Paya. Naviga

Will Their Jobs Be Open 10 Them?

The millions of boys who went at
the call of their country to make
the world safe for democracy will
soon be demobolized and at home
Most of them surrendered positions,
separated themselves from indiyidu-
al interests and the association of
loved ones and risked their lives to
make our homes a safe place to live
in.
They have accomplished this no.
BILE work and will soon return-the
heroes of hundred battles.
They sacrificed that we might
persue the peaceful avocations of life.
They will soon be at home. Are
the Jobs they left open to them?
Are civilian citizens in the jobs
they left preferable to the services
of these battle scared heroes?
You employers of men in both
the battle and the big businesses of
the country, your patriotism, as
well as your appreciation of the SER
vices these returning boys have rem
dered, will be measured by your ac
tons in your answers to these ques-
tons.
Surely, all employers will look af-
ter the interests of the boys over
here who fought to protect their in
terests over there.

ii. Q. Brook Announces for Re-
election.

| a>>NhOhs
Mr.. H. Q. Brooks name appears
in this issue of THE WEEKLY for re-
election to the office of Tax Asses
sOr.
This office is near to the tax-pay-
ers, who own the property upon
which the tax is collected that de-
trays the expense of government.
They are, therefore, vitality inter-
ested in electing competent, expe-
rienced man to this office.
Mr.. Brook has served them in
this capacity for a little more than
four years, and his record as an en-
ergetic, painstaking assessor COM
mends him to the consideration of
the voters to be his own successor.
His election to succeed himself
would practically amount to an en-
dorsement of his record, as he served
only the part of term before his
election TO the full term, which ex-
pires January /, 1920.
1t is noteworthy to mention in
connection with Mr.. Brooks admin
ministration as assessor that sales
of land delinquent for taxes have
been almost negligible. This is
due to the fact, no doubt, that
Mr.. Brook makes the assessments
in person instead of through depu-
ties.
Mr.. Brook appreciates the trust
reposed in him by the voters, and
will discharge that trust as effectu-
ally in the future, if he should be
elected, as he has done in the past
