4 Puzzle
a Day

Start at the lower left end Of the
ribbon and read around it, as indi-
Gated by the arrows. You will find
that you have two gaps to fill in
the bow Of the ribbon. One word
will fill the gaps so as to make
clear sentence. When you cross the
ribbon one time you must read the
missing word as a single word; the
other time you must break 1t near
the middle so it will form two words.
Can you supply the missing word?
Yesterdays Answer:
/. BULL
2. PULL
8. POLL
4. POLE
5. OPEN
6. OXEN
The steps from BULL" to
OXEN" are given above. A new
word is formed in each step, and
one letter is changed to form each
new word.

Consumption Increased

On the other hand Liverpool adj
mits the bull factions have some JUS
tification in the increased consump-
ton OF wheat in Japan and China.
Japan is using twice the amount it
did before the war and the Chinese
also are forsaking rice to a consid-
cradle extent.
1t also is admitted the Russian
supply cannot reach pre-war proper
tons for some years to come.
Liverpool believes, however. that
present rises in the wheat market
will stop when unexpected supplies
become available or when Japan and
China, Disguised by high prices, go
back to rice, corn and other cereals.

CONGREGATION IS
SPLIT ON MOVING
TO NEW LOCATION
Half of St, Johns Reformed
Church Would Go North
Others South.

The adage, a house divided against
itself cannot stand will be tested to-
night at a congregational meeting
Of St. Johns Reformed Church, Z.
Merrill and S. Alabama SITS, when
definite action is expected to be
taken upon whether the church
should be moved and where.
Consensus of opinion Of the ma
iority of the church members is to
relocate, but the section of the city
in which to move is apparently split
ting the congregation. About one
half of the members want to move
north, while the others desire to
move farther south. a few. mostly
old members, think it best to re-
main where they are.
Church Fifty Years Old
For over fifty years the church
has been established in the com.
munity. Within the past half
century sweeping changes have
taken place.
The founders were chiefly Ger
man, and resided near the vicinity.
They walked or drove to church lin
their buggies. Today the members
are scattered over the city and
drive 70 worship in machines.
What was then a resident COM
munity is now classified as a
factory district. according to the
city coming ordinance. The church
is situated in hollow and is
thanked on one side by the Eli
Lilly and Company plant. which is
expanding, and other factory build
'ngs.

to keep pace with its steady growth

present location, the Rev. Frederick
H. Diehm, pastor, said

ing the past few weeks TO make a
final selection. Each time the new
site committee recommended a north
side site. But because all were not
of one mind the committee was dis
charged and the church board was
delegated to make final choice.

ENGLISH WORKERS
FEEL EFFECTS OF
HIGH WHEAT PRICE
British Alarmed at Cost Of
FIour-BIame Specu-
IatorS for Advance. :
BY PERCY SARL
1924, by United Press

Copyright, 1924, by United Press
LONDON, July 3O.-Sensational
rises in the wheat market in the
United States have been followed by
equal increases in the price Of wheat
and flour in England.
Flour in English markets has
Jumped 10 shillings a sack since July
/ and a total of II shillings since
May, causing apprehension through
out the country.
The standard four pound British
loaf. already increased from the g.
penny price, will jump to 10 pence
next Monday.
Strain on Budget
To the English farmer, wheat
growing Is profitable for the first
time since the war, but to the great
majority of the population-the
wage earners-the high price OF
bread means only added strain on
the family budget.
Spectacular advances in flour
prices during the present month
have caused consumers to start an
agitation for resumption OF the war
time practice of Government wheat
buying, but. the president OF the
Board of Trade, Sydney wade, Ia
post similar TO the American Sec
retary of Commerce. fatty denies
rumor the Government is planning
TO resume such buying.
There is no reason to believe
world grain shortage is in sight,
Wade says and moreover 1t is I'M
possible to forecast how long pres
ent high prices will be maintained.
Harvesting of the 1924 crop in the
northern hemisphere is not vet
completed and final figures may
cause a considerable change in the
situation. he believes.
Accordance to the latest report to-
the Government Board OF Trade,
the situation is as follows:
THE factor most influencing the
outlook at present is the I'M
certainty of the Canadian crop. TO
which may be attributed the recent
rise in prices. This situation I'M
doubtedly has been aided. as is
usual in such circumstances, by
market speculation.
No Scarcity
There seems no reason to be
lieve at present that the world
supply Of wheat during the coming
season will be under requirements.
Although prices for a time may con-
tinue at higher levels than during
the corresponding period last year.
there is no justification at the
present time for suggesting a pend
ing shortage or even a scarcity Of
wheat"
The rise, in opinion Of Liverpool
merchants, is due principally to OPP
Grafton of bull cliques" in Chicago.
Although prices have advanced to
certain extent on all exchanges be-
cause Of unfavorable crop reports
from Canada and parts Of the United
States, 1t is believed there is wide
spread tendency to follow Chicago's
lead and attempt to frighten buyers
into paying high prices.

PLIGHT FARMER
NOT FREIGHT RATES
Analysis of Transportation
Charges Shows Railroads Not
To Blame For Troubles

ATLANTA, March 17.-Th,s
freight rates do not constitute the
hole in the farmers pocket was
pointed out her today by leading
freight agents of the railroads in
studying the latest figures CT rates.
Certain business ard political III
terests, it is shown, have made a
strong effort to turn the farmers
natural wrath agains the railroads,
to make him think that the increase
in freight rates is what is wrecking
his prosperity. The figures, based
on government reports, made pub
lie here, "puncture that fake most
thoroughly" as one railway Off
cial put it.
THE farmer is in trouble because
the Fordney-McCumber tariff
Josts the price of everything he
buys, and because the depressed
condition of the foreign market
lowers the price of nearly every
thing he SELLS" says a statement
made public here. "He is caught
going and coming. That is whet
breaks country banks and multi
plies abandoned farms, rot the FREE.
ght schedules"
Sales of live stock and the f1ei-
ght rates paid on it were studied
at four markets: Chicago, East St.
Louis, Kansas City and South Oma-
ha. These studies, railway men
state, were made for three days at
intervals of three weeks. The stock
was received from twenty-sevcn
states, and included 13,161 cattle,
1885 hogs and 24,682 sheep.
Then, taking each class of stock
separately, the cost to the purchas-
er, delivered at the yards, was di-
vided into three items-price paid
to the farmer, freight paid to the
railroad and miscellaneous distribu-
ton costs. The following is the re-
suit:
With cattle, freight was SO per
cent of the total bill, miscellaneous
costs 81 per cent, price to the far
mer 80 per cent,
With hogs, freight came to 81
per cent, miscellaneous costs to 3.3
per cent, price paid to the farmer
91.6 per cent.
With sheep, freight covered IA
per cent, miscellaneous costs Al pc,
cent, price paid to farmer 58.5 pei
cent.sdt
Or, taking all stock together, OF
every dollar paid by the buyer, tbs
railroads got 65 cents for freight
other costs absorbed 3.3 cents, and
the farmer got 9O.2 cents.
The farmer didn't get enough, -
said an Atlanta railway official.
He wouldn't have had enough if nc
h charge had been made for freigh.
! and other costs. But the fault doe,
not lie chiefly or even in large
measure with the railroads"
