MANIPULATION GOES ON IN THE
WHEAT MARKETS.

Wheat sold yesterday on the Chi
cago market at prices from $1.10 to
$1.20 below the ruling quotations on
July Is. Some part of that loss is
fairly attributed to the general de-
cline in commodity prices, but the
greater part is due to the smashing
tractics of foreign buyers, abetted by
American interests seeking profits
from lower prices.
Great Britain, France, Belgium and
other European countries have done
their marketing through a single Of
fetal buyer, and it is not improbable
that the governments of these
tries had an understanding not TO
erican markets, but to make their pur-
chases on the relay method.
1t has been organization pitted
against lack of organization-three
or four foreign buyers manipulating
the market against a million Ameri-
can wheat growers.
This manipulation was made yet
easier by the opportunity of the Brit
ish government, which it undoubtedly
utilized, of throwing Canadian wheat
IN the American markets. AS we
have free trade in wheat, there was
nothing to protect our growers.
Many observers believe that the
European governments will keep Up
fhnCo fonfiaC until thou houn hN1IOht
up our exportable surplus, and that
when the markets are thus cleaned
up the price of wheat will shoot up
again, to the enormous profit of the
American spectators and at the ex-
pense of American consumers
1t is just such evils and abuses in
our marketing system that are STIR
ring the American farmers to deep
to find a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Boston:-Night school is flourish

Such Is the word which is received
from this fertile section of Germany,
where 10000 American soldiers are
on patrol duty, looking after the in
terests of the United States in partic-
ular and the world in general.
The reports of Harry A. Eastman,
general field secretary for the Y. M. C..
A. with the American forces in Ger
many received at Northeastern De-
partment headquarters show that the
soldiers have enrolled in large num-
bers in all classes conducted, and that
the night school is becoming more
popular every week. A vast majority
of the student soldiers are taking
courses in French and German.
Class rooms have been fitted up for
school purposes, and while the classes
have been Handicapped somewhat from
lack Of equipment, Office furniture Of
various kinds has been used to ad-
vantage. The teachers have shown
the greatest interest in the work, and
it is certain that many soldiers who

Hoover Credits Farmers.
(New England Homestead.)


Did you grasp the significant state
ment of Herbert Hoover as printed In
The Homestead January 8, In regard to
worldwide food conditions during the
war and the armistice? Just read 1t
again:
"There is one broad general assertion
that may be made with regard to farm
ers in all countries and no less in the
United States. That is, the farmer has
maintained production; he has kept
hard at work performing the social serv-
ice that comes only by production of
commodities. The people engaged in
manufacturing, mining and transporta-
ton agencies have slackened enormously
since the armistice, and are not carry
ing their share of the load anywhere in
the world. The result is that the farmer
is making an economic contribution to
the other sections of the community
that they have no right to exact from
him. If everybody in the community
worked intelligently and vigorously for
such q portion of every day as his physi-
cal well-being warrants, there would be
an equality between all sections of the
community; but when one section slack
ems down its efforts, 1t must live, direct
ly or indirectly, on those who work."
That Is exactly what The Homestead
has been arguing for months. We want
TO see other Industries get to work as
farmers work. This doctrine of more
pay for more loafing is as I'M American
and disastrous to democracy as is bolshe-
yism. Why all this talk about farmers
sacrificing still further that higher pay
for loafing in other industries may be
encouraged?
Not for one minute are We cOunseling
farmers to slow up or "get crouch on"
No. But we want them to stand up In
their boots and after living up to the
obligations of their occupation (as they
consistently have) then demand similar
action from other industries. By their
industry and loyalty, farmers are show
ing the shortest and surest road to
stabilized aud prosperous country. Lei
every last one of rs insist that other in
dustries follow the example. There Ii
too much OF what Mr.. Hoover calls
slackening down In one section to live
ON the work of others. Let others ge,

Rarly iistched Bird Gets the Price.

Early fiatched Bird Gets the Price.
Chickens can be Matched at any time
of the year, but II is the chickens hatched
early In the spring that give the best re-.
suits. One reason is that II no special
effort is made to hatch early on the
farms throughout the country the hatch
ing season comedies too closely with the
planting season, and Matching operations
are reduced on that account.
Early hatohed chicks, as rule, are
the strongest and most vigorous in the
flock because they are produced from
eggs laid while the hens are in their best
breeding condition. After long period
of laying the hens lose something OF
their vitality and their capacity to trans.
NIT vigor to their offspring, and so late
Matched chicks are on the whole decided
ly inferior to early hatched ones in vigor
and constitution. Because they are
thrifty and vigorous the early chicks
make quicker and better growth than
the late ones. Thrifty chicks get more
from a given quantity of food than
others. Weak and undersized birds
often consume as much feed as the larger
and better developed ones but make no
perceptible growth.
The early chicks develop to stage
where they can Withstand extreme heat
and an attack by the parasites which are
more numerous and troublesome in hot
weather. The severe heat is apt to
check the growth of the late chicks and
in their weakened condition they easily
become prey to lice and mites. When
the cold, wet weather comes in the fall
they are peculiarly susceptible to 1t and
likely to develop colds, while the vigor-
GUS early chicks find the GOODNESS stimu-
lsting.
When eggs do not hatch we'll early in
the season there is time to find the rea
son for the poor Matching and to cure 1t
before the season is too far advanced
When late Matching is not successful the
crop of poultry is cut short and egg pro-
duction falls.
Early hstched cockerels are ready for
the market when prices are highest.
Early hatched pullets mature before
cold weather and lay when prices OF
eggs are highest. Late hatched chickens
are not mature before cold weather sets
in and often will not lay until spring.

Avenues of Communication.

bare and poorly constructed. Ma
terial was difficult to obtain. The
girls enlisted the aid of the boys and
with their help built chairs. settles,
davenports, picture frames and tables.
Curtains and lamp shades were de-
vised and in the officers club huge
fireplace was built.
Slowly, after months Of effort, the
huts from barren shells of flimsy
boards were transformed into living
rooms, writing rooms, Libraries, good
kitchens and well-equipped audito-
RUINS with stages homemade scenery
drop curtains and other accessories.
During the summer Of 1918 before
the staff of the Y. M. c. A. had been
increased all the huts were sadly lack
ing in sufficient personnel. It was
then the women showed their versa
tility and their capacity to do hard
labor and maintain the strain Of long
hours. The girls would help in the
sweeping of the big rooms, where the
mud was caked thickly on the floor,

passing in and out from daybreak until
late at night. They busted. They

keep in order the 20 or 30 writing ta-

kinds of cold drinks, squeezing two or
three cases of lemons by hand in one
morning. In every department Of the
physical operation of the hut the "Y"
women were represented from chop

sought by the men secretaries and a

WONDERS AT BREST
''Y" Worker Wins Praise of Doug ghboys
at Great Camp.

Boston:-"You have made Of this
place a shrine, where all who enter
are made better"
That was the verdict an American
doughboy passed upon library fitted
up by a Boston girl, Miss Hortense
Colby of 1127 Commonwealth Ave-
nue. and her associates in France
according to a report just received
from Miss Anne Watson Of Chicago,
at the Northeastern Dept. Of the Ma

Miss Watson who was regional di-
rector Of women's work for the Y. M.
c. A. in the district surrounding Brest
has the following to say of the re-
markable accomplishments Of Miss
Colby and the other young women as
sociated with her at Coetquidan:
"A great artillery camp, cleaning
high upon the Brittany hills, lonely
and isolated spot miles away from a
city, only sky and bfue-hazed hills
dotted with chateaux to be seen. Here
fresh from America with all its hustle
and variety came by the thousands
young men to be trained for field ar
tfllery at the front. They had landed
in what they called the mud-hole Of
the world. They had seen during
September and October many Of their
comrades die from the flu epidemic.
They came into camp after long, hot
and dusty marches overland, after
long billets in French villages. They
were disillusioned as to war and its
glamor, sick already Of the great ad-
venture Strangers in a strange land

her versatility, commonsense and re-
sourcefulness through months Of try
ing work.
In May 1918, there were two large
huts, one at either end Of the great
camp. In June an officers club house
and q recreation hall for enlisted men,
also Y. M. C. A. mess hall and head
quarters building, were erected in the
center Of the camp About the mid
die of May, much against the wishes
of some of the army officials, women
were assigned to the camp, the first
two being Miss Agnes Morrow of the
Wellesey Unit and Miss Hortense Col
BY Of Boston. In June, Miss Dorothy
Dennis and Miss Alice Lindley were
assigned to the officers club. The
conditions under which these women
first served were primitive and diff
cult. But, by sheer pluck and initia-
tive they proved the value and neces-
sity for women's work In a strictly
military camp.
From 10000 to $4,000 men were
in training from five to six weeks be-
ing the usual length of time allotted
to a brigade. Until October 1st, there
were but six women and a few Y. M.
c. A. men to serve the huge encamp-
ment. It was far from the base Of
supplies. There stood daily outside
of the hut doors thousands Of men
clamoring for all kinds Of material.

way that material had to be found.
