CHAOS MAY REIGN IF
WHEAT GUARANTEE IS
| LIFTED BY CONGRESS

/ Julius II. Barnes, United States
Wheat Director. recently made public
b letter to Senator Gronna, in which
he terms the latter's bill for the re-
Focal of the wheat guarantee act and
the abolition of the grain corporation
ss a direct republication of the pledge
made by Congress TO the wheat pro-
lucer for the crop of 1919.
Senator Gronna's bill, which was
taYorably reported by the Senate Ag-
ficultural Committee, releaps all gov
srnment control over the price of
wheat and requires the Grain Cor
poration to wind up its affairs with
out delay.
\ Mr.. Barnes points out that at a
Mime when no one can accurately
Bredict the trend of prices, Senator
t,a'onna apparently feels such conf
Eence in his own judgment that the
farmer will benefit by the withdraw
\al of government sterilization that
he would Immediately take from the
heat producer the protection of
Hhe billion-dollar guarantee, which
congress has pledged itself to give
until June first. The wheat director
gives warning that by abolishing
government support congress may
pprecipitate a still further decline in
the price of wheat. even below that
Of the guarantee price. lie adds that
''only the most colossal egotism
would presume to forecast the course
of prices in the face of worldwide
unsettlement, which within the past
few days has Wrecked the United
States export trade by the total col
Rpse of overseas finance"
If congress should repudiate its
pwn pledge to the farmer, Mr..
BARNES adds, the possibilities of de-
kpreciation in value after the with
[drawal of the government guarantee
are such that six million farmers
will ask congress "by what right it
repGdiated the pledged national guar
antee, on the underlying foundation
OF which the influence of supply and
demand had built an average premi-
UNI Of 80 cents per busbel"

CONTRACTS FOR OUTPUT

 returned from a trip to Lake.
 side where he closed a con.
 tract with MT. Joe R. Treat,
 owner and manager of, the
 LaYeside Saw Mill company,
 whereby the local company is to receive the entire 1920 output of the Lakeside mill. The lumber will be manu- factured at Lakeside, hauled by teams and trucks to a loading spur on the Apache Railway company'sline, then shipped to Holbrook by rail. Several carloads have all ready been handled in this manner, which has proven very satisfactory, and it is expected that with fair weather a carload of lumber can be handled every ten days or two weeks. In con- menting on this arrangement MT. Hall states that the Lakeside mill is the largest in Navajo county and is operated by one of the most capable saw mill men in Northern Arizona, and a careful comparison of dimen- sion lumber manufactured by the larger and more up- to-date mills of Flagstaff and that manufactured by MT. Treat will show that the Lakeside product is on a par with that of Flagstaff. The local company also takes the position that Lakeside is a part of Navajo county, and any product manufactured there should have first con- sideration by any concern doing business in the county.

Charles Neville Bucks story, "When Bearcat Went Dry" appears as a Macauley production in World Pictures at the Pastime theatre Tues day, Feb. 10th.
 Illicit stills, feuds, moon sinners, fights, love, senti- ment, and the striking noun tain scenery shown in "When Bearcat Went Dry" are said to mark this as one of the really big pictures of the year.

 When later on the tough est gang in the mountains are going to kill his rival be- cause they suspicion that he is a revenue agent the young hero rescues him in what is described as one of the most terrific fights ever portrayed on the screen.
 He wants the man to marry the girl he fancies has been wronged. When the mistake has been rectified g gang of masked riders ap- pear and there is turmoil 1T the fastness of the Cumber. land mountains until finally like a ray of sunshine the two lovers are reunited il complete understanding.
