unwilling during 1921 the veterans
of John Bowie Strange Camp ex-
pressed an earnest desire to have the
Virginia Grand Camps Of Confeder-
ate Veterans and Sons Of Veterans
hold their annual reunion here on
that occasion.
1t was early ascertained that the
Lee monument would not be in place
in time for unveiling in 1921. and
that there was a possibility OF It's
not being ready even In 1922. While
this was a sore disappointment 1t
was quickly decided not to walt on
the Lee monument but to go ahead
and invite the Grand Camps OF the
State to hold their reunion here this
year upon the occasion Of the I'M
yelling Of the Jackson monument

That invitation has BEEN extended
for October IS, 10 and 20, and let

1917 the gross profit had scared to 20 cents

the gambling losses occurred. Who, then paid
this huge gambling loss? Who won the bets and
is $1O0O0O00 ahead? It is certain from the figures
that the elevators did not lose-they charged
enough for handling grain so that they kept up
their profits and were able to pay the gambling
losses at the same time It is likewise certain that
those who won on this tremendous speculation in
futures were the gamblers of the grain exchanges
Who but the farmers and the consumers had to
make up the loss? --~.
The other table we print shows how these same
10 terminal elevators are profteering. Note that
in 1913 the gross profit per bushel for handling
gran excluding hedging operation gains and losses
was only a little over 2h cents bushel, while it
was less than cents in 1914 This was before the

are the general averages. The average
gross profit per bushel, excluding
hedging gains or losses, that is, the
handling charge per bushel, for 1919

by the trade commission as typical, showed net
loss on six years. business of $10,64O, ,29382 as
result of "hedging." That is, these elevators dur
ing these years would have saved an average of
over $1,000,000 year each if they had not hedged
at all. (See small table on this page.)
The 10 elevators chosen for the test were located
as follows: Six in Minneapolis, two in Duluth
and two in st. Louis and Kansas City. The COM
missions table loss and gain, shown on this
page, shows that these elevators made profit of
over 100000 during 1913 and 1914 in their hedging
operations but that for the other four years report
ed they lost total of $11,440,50663 so that their
net loss on the six years. operations from hedging
was over ten and one-half million dollars! Is the
claim of the grain trade that hedging is insurance
against loss valid claim in the face of these
figures?

In year 1917) these 10 terminal elevators
lost over $6000,000 through hedging. Last year
their loss was over $2,00O,O00 On the other hand,
