Total cost of Dbl. of flour. $12.64

1T should be recalled that, during
the several years before the begin
ming of the world war, 10 cents net
profit was considered reasonable for
manufacturing flour. During the
control of the U. S. Food Commits
sion their profits were limited to
IL IL cents per barrel. It will be
seen that $2.42 per bushel for wheat
means that an ordinary mill of 800
barrels capacity would make clear
proflt or $210 per day. In addition

This legislation, of vast import
ance to the farmers of the northwest
was passed by the last session OF
congress, signed by the president and
is now law. AS a result. such or
ganizations already in existance. are
proceeding with their business with
out fear of prosecution, which for
merly threatened. while new associ-
atoms are springing up everywhere
farmers find they can obtain better
prices by pooling their crops.
This law is great benefit to the
farers of the northwest as we'll as

gresham John w Summers. who
was one of the leaders In the figh,
to secure the enactment Of the legis-
lat1on. ut gives to farmers the
rights which are in effect exercised
under the law by all the branches of
industry with which they come in
contact. Before its enactment, the
famer wa the only producer who
was compelled to accept for his pro-
ducts exactly what combination of
wholesalers and middlemen were
willing to pay and no more. He was
also compelled to pay for his farm
implements-his machinery of all
kinds-exactly the price a combina-
tion of manufacturers told him to
pay, and he is still permitted to pay
no less. but now the law equalizes
these conditions by giving him a
right to exert powerful influence
In the problem Of what he is going
to get for the crops he produces"
1t is also brought out In the house
debate on the law that the right to
organize and to eliminate the waste
between the farmer and the actual
consumer will in the end result not
only in larger profits for the farmer,
but will result in decreased prices
to the consumer. 1t was declared

the old German Empire, not those of

Control Commission, which for six
months had been the high govern

left recently on special trains for
Paris.
The authority of the commission
ceased at eight o'clock at night and
on the minute the German flags
were raised.
Up at the high school across the
street from the building where the
commission was CHARTERED the school
master gathered his pupils and made
speech, in which he said this was
a gerat moment for Prussia, which
at last was out from under the yoke
of the conqueror. Above his head
as he spoke the black, white and red
but nowhere was there a flag of the
German republic. AT the conclusion
of his speech the master ordered
three "hochs'' which were given 1us-
their eyes stedaily upon the teacher,
sang deutschland Uber Allies. A
few Germans who had listened to
the schoolmaster joined in the song.
Some prominent citizens were
asked why there were no flags of
the German republic.
I'VE are Prussians and conserva-
tives," they said, land have not ac-
commodated ourselves to the new re-
gime. The flag of the republic is
the flag of a sect We will fly the
old flag"
While evidently bitter toward the
Berlin government they felt their
duty lay in ignoring it as far as pos
sible officially and to have little to
do with it personally.
On the eve of the departure of the
commission, crowds stood for houKS
in the streets and the station square
in a silence so ominouS that some
Inter-A1lied officers interpreted it as
the prelude to a serious demonstra-
toin.

A change in stands for concessions
has been made by the directors of
the Danbury Fair for this year and
it has been decided to have no stands
in the big exhibition tent, where for
years they have been located. In
stead, all the concessions, except pos
sib1y one each for candy, orangeade
and popcorn, will be located in a
separate tent, which is to be erected
just outside the main building. This
tent is to be 1s5 feet long and 35
feet wide and will be on the east
side of the main building.
Applications for concessions are
coming in better than they have in
many years.
The dates of the big fair are Oc-
tober to 9, with horse races on the
first five days and auto races on Sat
urday. There will be aeroplane ex-
hibitions by Lieut.. Stuart Chapman
each afternoon.
