ed as the parade moved along its
route the difficulties Of their trade
under battle conditions.
Real gas bombs, guaranteed by the
chemical warfare service to make
any human being scurry for shelter,
were exploded directly in front of the
truck repair shop, and the soldiers,
quickly DOMINIC their gas masks,
continued their repair work with but
a slight interruption.
The aTmy's trans-continental truck
train, which will start on its cross
country 3,2oO-mile trail early next
month, was another attraction in this
section in which the spectators took
the keenest interest. .
The train is completely self-sup-
porting and will carry on its trip
overland all the supplies needed to
take care Of men and trucks without
resorting to drawing from a base.
For this purpose, engineers and men
from the medical department are in
cluded in the personnel OF the convoy,
while detachments fro mthe artillery
and air service are attached as OBJ
servers.
SBOche7 Trucks There.
Two trucks which looked rather
out Of place and forlorn among Uncle
Sans spic and span specimens were
a couple Of "Boche" trucks which the
enemy turned over to the army Of
occupation at Coblenz this year.
One II the trucks was the "Audia"
type, used by the German army to
carry troops quickly from one point
of the line 70 another. The other
exhibit from Germany was an ambu-
lance mounted on a one-tone n. A. G.
chassis, the sort the German army
used during the war to evacuate the
wounded from points in rear OF the
line.
Competition was high among the
entries for the prizes which are TO
be awarded the best floats, and the
men from the Motor Transport Corps
were wagering freely with the
drivers OF floats representing various
private truck manufacturers. The
floats entered by the Government
were interestingly arranged to show
the various schools in which the army
trains young men to become expert
at some trade, while those entered by
the manufacturers were mainly COM
peting for the prize which will be
given the truck displaying the best
slogan or catch word advocating the
use of motor trucks in the owners
line Of business.
CuFb-StOne Applause.
One OF the competitions was for
the entry which received the greatest
applause from the curb-stone audi
ence. Many drivers OF trucks smiled
happily when their particular exhibit
brought cheers from the crowd.
Up to the very last minute allowed
before the time set for starting, the
drivers Of the different entries were
busily polishing up their machines

In brief it is that the banks will eX-

the certificates OF deposit being pay
able January 1st. 1920, with the op-

the purpose of allowing farmers VINO

certificates of deposit is to furnish
collateral on which the farmer may

PRICE OF WHEAT
UNDER DEBATE
House Committee Hears Grain
Dealers on Government
Price Fixing.
CHAIRMAN LEVER SUG-
GESTS THREE PLANS
There is No Disgusting Fact
That Government Faces LOSS
Of More Than Billion.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Grain dealers
today before the house ag-
riculture committee proposed that the
government pay the guarantee price
of S22G a bushei for the 1919 wheat
crop and sell it to the consumer at
the world market price, which they
estimated would be about $1.25. The
witnesses generally believed this plan
would cost the government probably
a billion and quarter ,ollaN but
said this loss was preferable to any
attempt on the part Of the govern
ment to maintain an artificial price.
Representative Lever OF South Car
DINA suggested three other plans;
that the wheat movement be entire
ly on the pre-war basis; that the
movement possibly be restricted by
the government being authorized 10
sell or buy so as to prevent maniDu-
ment be entirely on the pre- ar basis
with the export movement under fed
ra control
The committee was holding hear
ings on the bill prepared by A. W.
Glasgow, counsel for the food admin
istration, in cooperation with the de-
oartment Of agriculture The deal
crs strongly opposed continuation OF
the food administrators grain cor
poration as provided in the bill. They
however. urged continuation of the
corporation for buying ana selling the
crop.
Chairman Lever also announced his
disa approval of the measure as drawn
declaring that It granted broader
powers than those OF the food con-
troll act.

OF trade, declared the proposal was

fed that Mr. Glasgow had disregard

Chairman Lever announced that
none of the committeeman seriously
considered the building Of elevators or
warehouses for storing grain ana
that this section of tne bill could be
eliminated from discussion.
\. E. Reynolds Of Crawfordsvllie,
md, chairman OF the executive COM
n1:1ee Of the grain dealers National
Association, said a crop Of 1850, ,ooo,-
600 bushels was in prospect and ne
with other dealers thought the world
price would be about s1.25 bushel.
F. C. Vandusen Of Minneapolis sala
the present is too early to make specl-
Ec plans under which the grain cor
poration should operate but he add
ed "the president should be givei1
broad authority in handling the st
uation.'
Control of imports and exports and
the closing of exchanges to future
trading VIII minimize government
loss in maintaining the price, Mr.
Vandusen declared. adding that IL
censing of the exchanges would be uil-
wise. Mr. Vaadusen said he favored
leaving the question OF price with the
corporation. suggesting that through
control of world credits the govern
ment might sell the wheat advan-
tageously despite lower world price

the Bolshevik government has been
able to organize their army and make
possible the strong campaign in north
