THE FUTURE PRICE OF WHEAT.
(E. F. Gaines)

(E. f. Gaines)
Dept, of Farm Crops, Washington
State College.
DR.. G.F Warren, head of the de-.
partment of Agricultural Economics
and Farm Management at Cornell
University has recently written a
seventy two page bulletin on prices
of Farm Products in the United States,
in which he makes the statement:
Until Russia again becomes an ex-
porting nation the outlook for the ex-
port of wheat and rye is apparently
more favorable than for most other
farm products" He also shows that
wheat at the present time is much be-
low the average index wholesale price
of all commodities.
These two statements should give
the wheat producer of the northwest
a ray of hope for the future, and en-"
courage him to raise wheat If he is
going to stay in the farming game.
With q favorable foreign market, a
surplus is not likely to accumulate in
this country, and for that reason wheat
should maintain a somewhat higher
price level than other farm products.
DR.. Warren shows hat the price to
the producer of practically all farm
products is now correspondingly 80
Per cent lower than the average whole
sale price of the things he has to buy.
1t is therefore inevitable that either
the things the farmer has to sell will
bring a better price, or the things he
has to buy will cost less in the near
future.
Another reason for optimism on the
part of the wheat growers of the
northwest, in particular, is the selling
power of the wheat growers associa-
ton. This association controls enough
wheat to be able to fill the huge or
ders from the orient, and can often gel

FOREIGNERS IN JAPAN PAY
 HIGH FOR LIVING EXPENSES

TOXIC, June 29-Justifcation of the daily lament by foreigners in Japan over the high cost of living is found in report given out by a committee of the American Legion of Tokio and Yokohama. The report, founded on replies received from members of the post, fixes the living expenses for a single man at be- tween $275 and s291 a month, and for a married man, between $541 and s666 per month, and said that these salaries permitted no saving whatsoever.
 Only one man in the list who made reports spoke of Japan as one where luxurious living conditions are common. He writes: "It is luxurious. or better to say, lazy, as it seems necessary to have servants, and these are so inefficient that it takes two to do the work of one"
 Salaries considered fairly good in the United States are not good" salaries in the Orient, the result of the investigation shows. The report says the committee feels that no one should come to Japan for sums less than those mentioned above.
 Of IT men making prophecies as to the probable changes in costs dur ing the present year, eight see little prospect of changes, five anticipate increases of from , to 20 per cent, while four hope for decreases of from , to 10 per cent.
 Difficulties in finding permanent quarters are also mentioned in the list of replies. Regarding the length of time it has taken to secure quart CTS, the average time needed in house hunting was two months and 10 days. One reply said that ir took nine months to find a house.

COFFEE HEALTHFlJL DRINK
 IS VERDICT OF SCIENTISTS

BOSTON, June 30- Caffein in the moderate quantities consumed by the average coffee drinker is declared to be safe stimulant without harm ful after-effects in a preliminary report of a scientific investigation conducted at the Massachusett; In- stitute of Technology since June. 1920. The investigators directed by Professor Samuei C.. Prescott, head # the department of biology and public health who makes this an nouncement of the first findings of their research, are now at work to isolate and identify the other con- stituents of the coffee bean, esp al ly those which determine he flavor and aroma. preliminary to studying the best methods of brewing bever- age coffee.

In these cases the ab- normality is h the individual raener than in any inherent poisonous CT de.eteriou property of the cafrein itself.
 "Caffein can be taken by the vast majority of hea thy adults without subsequent narcotic pr deprpg3en: eff feet, provided f is qsed in moder- ation and not abused. Excessive amounts incite temporary disturb ances in the central nervous system but these do lot cause any perma- nent injury. It IS equally true that other normally harmless substances such as salt, sugar or condiments when used in excess may also pro- duce untoward symptoms which are often severe. Our studies lead us to entire agreement with the results stated by Hollingworth that when taken with food in moderate amount caffein is not in the least deleter- ious."

BASEBALL STARS EXPLAIN
 WHY HITTING Is COMMON

CHICAGO, June 22--Here are the reasons advanced by some of base balls leaders in explaining the in- creased l1ng distance hitting:
 Iris Speaker, manager of the world champion Cleveland Indians 'TneFec.ive pitching is the cause, They've barred the emery ball, the splitter and all the old deliveries. The pitchers haven't anything left but a glove and a prayer and they work the prayer overtime"
 Ty Cobb, manager of the Detroit Americans-"B Baseball moves in cy- cles. We had the cycle of great base running, the cycle of great pitching and now we have the cycle of heavy hitting. It wont last long"
 Johnny Evers, manager of the Chicago Cubs-It's the lively ball. The ball is so fast the players can't handle it and the force that used to be used in bunting now puts the ball out of the infeld. The fast ball is crippling infelders and spelling the game"
 John Heydler, president of the National league-"Babe Ruth caused it. Babe made everyone think it was easy to hit homers and now the batters swing their hardest. Every one takes a full swing at the ball; result: more long hits than ever"
 Kid Gleason, manager of the Chi cago White Sox-"It's partly the fast ball and partly the fact that the weather has been so bad in the Central West that the Western clubs pitchers are not in condition. Most
  of the heavy hitting has been in the East by Eastern clubs against Western clubs pitchers"
 Frank Navin, president. Detroit American league club-It's not the lively ball, for there is no such thing The balls are all the same. The hit. ting is caused by the rules prohibit ing a pitcher from doctoring the ball little. He'd rub dirt on it to roughen it up little, spit on it and do lots of other things to en- able him to get a better grip. These things are barred now, and the pitch CTS are ineffective as result"

A CHAMPION OF JUSTICE

! Judge Landis commend him as : man who is not afraid of his job man whose training has fitted him to distinguish between justice and injustice and who is fearless enough to express his opinions re. gardless of how his opinions may differ with Government officials and Congressmen at Washington, to whom he is more or less answerablc for his conduct, on and of the bench. The American people like that sort of a man when he Is right and the only regret is that there are not more in our great country of that calibre.
 The men who gave up their jobs to fight for American ideals are en- titled to more generous treatment than they have received at the hands of the Government they helped to preserve. Lives were risked in the trenches and on the battlefelds of Europe, while those who remained at home waxed fat on war profits and abnormally high wages, with not even the risk of punishment for grating, which fourished uncheck- ed throughout the duration of the war-and still fourishes.
 It was not the fault of our fight. ing men overseas that our affairs at home were manipulated for the benefit of profteers. And they should not now be made 10 suffer because of those extravagant ex- penditures of t,le war period
 That the service men are entitled to some sort of a bonus seems to be quite generally agreed :n all quarters. Even President Harding does rot contend that recognition is not warranted, his argument being, in effec!, that the bonus cannot be paid because the treasury has been footed by profteers.
 Under the circumstances, it is good to hear a man of the standing of Judge Landis call things by their right names. He says if he were President he would fire the whole outfit standing in the way of bonus legislation, and we would like to see him have the opportunity
 Should America be so unfortunate as to be drawn into another conflict, the men who do the fighting should receive at least a fair share of the profits earned by those who do not don the uniform. We have had two wars in recent years, and each time the fighting men have been turned adrift after victory had been won. without funds and without employ ment, and even without adequate provision for those disabled. Fight ing men are heroes while a war is on; they are patriotic consumers of embalmed beef and loyal wearers of counterfeit army clothing But with return to peace, they cease to be of value to their Government, to the beef trust or to the equipment profteers. And about all they can hope for, upon release from the army, is jobless freedom.

GOVERNOR SEES FLOOD AREA UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS

DENVER, July Ex-Governor 0. 1 o. Shoup, of Colorado, knows now, from personal experience, something about how the Yankee doughboys 1 felt when they were touring France 1 in those little 'hommes 40, chevaux s" vehicles on the French rail lines running up to the front. For the governor, when he received news of how serious the Pueblo flood had been, started for the scene of the disaster and despite all obstacles he got there. He was disheveled and battered, chilled and miserable when 1 he reached the stricken city but he was proud of the fact that he had arrived
 At Colorado Springs all roads to Pueblo were reported impossible.
 But Governor shoup believed d;f ferently. He got in touch with rail road officials and finally they agreed to press an automobile truck into service. It was transformed into the governors special by fitting it with Hanged wheels such as those on rail road cars. 4.:: :..: --... In this Governor Shoup, accomp m jed by Colonel Pat Hamrock, aG- jutant general of Colorado, and half dozen newspaper correspondents, started for Pueblo. "--
 Just outside of Colorado Springs the first bridge was found destroyed and the special took a switch and transferred over to the D. & R. G. tracks to continue it's trip. At Fountain, Col, the Santa Fe bridge was down.
 All this time 1t had been raining in steady, chilling downpour and the truck offered but little protection Everybody in the Special was wet to the skin. Everybody was miser- able. But everybody was cheerful. At Fountain it was necessary for the special" to double back some five or six miles to the nearest switch One grade was 50 steep that the specials engine could TO: make it and everybody clambered down and began a long hike across country, through roads ankle deep with mud and with the cold, driving rain still falling.
 After a wait of nearly an hour. the rain still falling, the "spec;ar came chugging along to pick up the party. At Buttes the bridge was out and had to be repaired before it could be crossed. A temporary re- pair, good enough to permit the passage of a light automobile, was made and there the governor and Colonel Hamrock parted company with the newspaper men and con- tinued the journey to Pueblo in the auto that was first to cross over the broken bridge
 But the governor himself sums it all up, in telling the story. with, "I got there, didn't I? You bet your life l got there"
