PROFTTEERS OR
PHILANTHROPISTS, WHICH?

When the United States entered
the war, for the first time in many
years, the wheat growers had an OPP
portunity to reap a rich reward
through the legitimate operation of
the law of supply and demand. But
the government fixed a minimum
price of $2.26 a bushel for wheat,
and through the administration of
the law this minimum became also
the maximum price. The farmers
did not threaten a strike or a walk
out, they did not even complain
very much, but accepted the regula-
tion as war necessity. They pro-
ceeded to SOW every available acre
to wheat in order to meet the re-
quirements of this nation and its
allies.
Then their sons were called into
the service and many of the farm
hands were lured away to the cities
yards, munition plants, and factor
les. The growers met this emerg-
ency by working harder, putting in
longer hours, and drafting their
wives and children to assist them.
Many farmers who had retired be-
cause of age or physical infirmities.
went back to the fields while their
wives went back to the kitchens, and
did their bit toward producing the
crop so necessary to the winning of
the war. No more patriotic or valu-
able service was rendered by any OF
the members of the home guard
than was contributed by the wheat
growers.
Then the war ended, but still the
cry went up for wheat and more
wheat TO supply starving world
Only small per cent of the farm
boys returned to their homes and
the farm hands kept on migrating to
the cities. The fixed price for wheat
was continued in force, but the
prices of shoes, clothing, machinery,
sugar and all the supplies which the
farmers required were allowed to
soar sky high. Still the wheat
growers did not lie down on their
job, but took another hitch in their
belts and buckled to their task all
the harder. And what was their
reward?
A howl was started by the city
press and taken up by the city resi-
dents that the wheat growers were
profiteering and had been the chief
oeneficiaries of the war. What are
the facts?
In the Spokane Spokesman-Revi
OF June 81, on the last page of the
paper in an obscure position, was
printed the following telegram:

american wheat crop was produced

GROTTO NOW HAS
(Reprinted from The Crescent
January, 192O)

January, 1920
Some people are never satisfied.
Noble Edward s. Schmid of Almas
Temple, Washington, D. c., is one Of
them. Several years ago he started
the Mystic Order of Yelled Prophets
(the Grotto) in Washington, and said
he would not be satisfied until it
reached 500 membership. It is now
above 1000 and he won't be satisfied
until it reaches the 1000 mark. which
is most likely to happen as Kallipolis,
the local Grotto, is gathering them
in in punches.
He belongs to nearly every frater-
nal organization in existence, to say
nothing of several scientific and COM
mercial organizations. His hobby,
however, is the Grotto, and he lives
and sleeps with it. Each day he de-
velops new ideas as to new and added
features. Let him hear of an I'M
usual meeting to be held by some out
of town Grotto-and there are now
over a hundred in the United States
and Canada, with a combined men,
bership Of close to 1OO,0O0-and he
will journey to the particular city to
be among those present.
Recently word came that the Gro
to in Brooklyn, N. Y, would initiate
a class of at least 1000. He round
ed up Ed Libbey, another Grotto en-
thusiast, and they went over. I'm
agine their surprise upon arrival to
learn that the members of the Grotto
visited had requested their own men,
bers to stay away in order that the
class Of candidates, not 1000 but 400,
might be able to get into the building
and receive the mysteries of the Or
der. The building could not accom-
modate 5000 and all available space
was needed for the candidates and
visitors.
His present hobby is the erection of
a Supreme Council Temple in the City
of Washington, and if he keeps at it
long enough it will all materialize.
