CHICAGO, May Ex-senator John
sons headquarters are under full
headway today in charge Of his son,
who is not only a chip OF the old
block, but a spark from the same
high voltage wire that his dad is.
His line of campaign is to spread the
thought that II the republicans want
to make sure Of carrying the west
''let johnson do it." He does not say
that the west will be lost to the re-
publicans II johnson is not nominated
and there is no intimation of threat
in his appeal.
This is the way he puts it:
THAT the west is closely divided
politically is shown by the bipartisan
representation in the senate of such
states as California. Oregon, WASH
ington. Utah. Nebraska and New Mex
leo. with democratic and republican
senators. johnson has proven that
he is strong in those states and in
neighboring states.
Labor will vote for him, for labor
is friendly to him. and labor Is strong
in those states. It is easily conceiv-
able that the election may turn on
the western states. Senator john
sons supporters are confident that
he can carry the west for the repub-

ing drafted by the special committee
appointed by the National Federation

Much research work is being done

WARTIME PROFITS

Wartime profits absorbed one-third

this margin was chargeabls to prof

suiting economist of the railroad
hrctherhoods and unions, in a state
ment presented to the United States
Railroad Labor Board and made public
today.
The survey contends that the ac-
:ual cost Of Producing barrel Of fiour
in 1917. Including interest, freight
charges and other expense OF the
miller. was only $500. For this the
consumer. Il is charged. was forced to

But. during the year ending June 30,
1917. the millers had been actually
averaging SO cents a barrel. while one
mill showed returns for . period Of
six months of 81 a barrel.
With respect to the milling COM
panies. the survey shows:
That the profits had advanced in
1917 practically 375 per cent over 1913
earnings;
That the cost of operation, which
includes labor cost. advanced only 2s
per cent in the same period. or only
s cents per barrel, as contrasted with
an increase in miller's profits of more
than 43 cents a barrel:
That the excess profits were more

to a levy OF $2 on each family in the
country.
Little Excuse for Increase.
It also was shown that the miilers
had little excuse for increasing their
margins on -four, since the price of

industry. scared to such an extent
compensated the millers for the en-
tire cost Of converting wheat into

Mr.. Lauck called attention to the

THIS GRAIN ITRULY GOLDEN"
How Discovery of Prolific Gold Field
Was Made in Mysore, State
of India.

One of the worlds most prolific gold
fields at the present time IS In the
Kolar district Mysore statel of India.
Discovery of it was made in a curious
way.
In prosperous years. when the gods
favored the valley with an ample har-
vest of rice, grains of gold were found
now and then on rice ears. This great
~ mystified the natives, who ascribed
the gold to supernatural powers.
What probably happened was that
these grains, derived from the gravelly
SOIL lodged on the young rice plants
when they were being grown in nur-
series (for subsequent transportation
to the fields) and flooded at intervals
with water.
The strange occurrence, at first
deemed supernatural, led to the discov.
cry that the graves of the valley wera
rich in gold, brought down from the
mountains. Since then the KolGr els
trict has contributed largely to the
worlds supply of the yellow metal.
