for lower grades Of wheat, the
grain corporation should have fol-
lowed custom and marked the down
scale prices by one-cent differences
in each grade.
Contend For Ration.
The grain corporation, it is said,
cOntended that the ratio of increase
should be maintained for each
grade. II was contended for illus
tration that If pre-war prices on No.
l wheat were S1.0O and on No
wheat 80 cents and the price of No.
should have been doubled TO 50 90.
then the No. price also should be
doubled, making it s1.9S. Leaders
Of the opposition are contending that
the one-cent difference should be
maintained, which on that basis
would put No. wheat at $199.
The reason for this opposition, &C
cording to DR.. Waters. was appar-
emit In the critical days just before
the harvest. IL seemed TO farmers
and farm leaders that weather con-
ditions would lower the grade Of the

dean OF the Kansas State Agricul-
tural school. led the opposition to
what he termed an everturning Of
customs set by years OF marketing
experience between producer and
buyer.
The contention Of DR.. Waters and
Of other opponents was along this
line. Under the usual system Of
marketing practiced before the war,
# had become customary to make a
difference of about one cent a pound
between each fNade Of wheat When
a standard price on No. l wheat,
now more than double the average
price of pre-war days. was set by
PreS't Wilson. the fixing Of relative
prices on lower grades was left TO
the discretion of the United States
Grain corporation, which fixed
prices for those grades in the same
ratio of increase which determined
the increase in price of No. 1 wheat.
This system Of establishing standard
prices, however. made "A difference
OF about three cents a pound be-
tween each grade of grain, where

serted that in determining the prices

STOLEN AUTO IS
IN EATON GARAGE:

EATON, O., July 1O.-Consderabl
damaged, Chandler touring automo-
bile, said to have been stolen in Day
ton, and the property of Springfield
Ohio man, reposes here in a garage,
following it's recovery about eight
miles west of here, where it was
abandoned along a highway. The car
is stripped of much of it's electrical
system, cushions and about all else
removable.
Sheriff Jones and his deputy, Ches-
ter Wehrley, who recovered the car,
say that two boys, probably Is or II
years old, were seen driving the car.
They also were seen leaving the car
and running down the road, after the
car stopped and they were unable to
get it started. The boys wore red
striped sweaters and caps, persons
who saw them say.
Neither Jones nor the local police
learned the name Of the owner of
the automobile. He turned the start
er key over to the sheriff, after identi-
flying his property, and said to leave
the machine here until some action
was taken by the insurance company
with which he had it insured against
theft.
Jones and Wehrley searched dill
gently for the youthful thieves, but
were unable to locate them. A robe
tools and other effects removed from
the car were found in a clump OF
weeds near where the car was aban-
doned. The officers stood guard sew
eral hours during the night in hopes
the thieves would return to get the
stuff, but they did not show up.
