Wheat Boom Psychological?

heights in January"
Famous Statement
1t was in the midst Of the boom
in wheat that the Department of
Agriculture issued its famous state
ment Chat wheat prices are not
unduly inflated and are governed
by the law of supply and demand. .
This report. issued in January,
put the final touches to the soar
ing market and sent wheat past the
81 mark.
1t was when the market was in
this unstable position that the bot
tom suddenly dropped out. "A bear
movement brought about the great
crash in March," the Institute re-
ports. However, the theory that
the break in prices directly injured
the farmers OF the country has
little basis in current experience.
There was very little merchan-
disable wheat still in farmers hands
in March. Growers who had re-
tanned their wheat through the win.
ter marketed the bulk Of II at $3.50
or better"
Except In time of war wheat mar.
kets such as have prevailed since
last autumn are seldom seen. Wheat
started booming as the November
election approached, and then, hav.
ing attained tremendous momentum
kept on for several months more.
Outlook Promising
1t was this unusual state of affairs
which led to the intensive study OF
both American and foreign markets
by the Standard Food Research
Bureau.
In sharp contrast to the recent
Government report which predicted
the lowest wheat crop in many
years, the food institute reports that
'the outlook for new crops Is fairly
promising. Planted acreage has In
creased. Winter wheat crops in the
United States, India and Russia are
below average, but in Europe and in
North Africa generally conditions
are above average.

America there is prospect OF IN
creased acreage seeded under favor

1t is warbled by Billy Jones and

Ernest sings to Bill: Say, Bill,

Bill asks. What might her at

To that Ernest contends that IF

Also that Susie has a perfect

lWI What constitutes third term
~ for President Of the United
States probably will cause a sharp
division among Republican states
men before the next Republican Ma
tional convention.
Already lines are forming ana two
schools of opinion are airing their
views.
President Coolidge's trip to Min.
neapolis has brought the issue to
the front. Heretofore all efforts to
smoke out the President on his
views concerning a third term have
failed. Since the trip to the North
west, however, close friends of the
President have let it be known that
he does not regard his present in
cumbency of office as a second term.
Mr.. Coolidge's trip to Minneapolis
had all Of the signs of a preliminary
political swing. Aside from a large
group of newspaper correspondents.
he was accompanied by a special
representative of the Republican
National Committee and also by
Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, who
will have his troubles next year in
trying to overcome the La Toilette
group within his state.
Up to the People
During the trip It was made
known that Mr.. Coolidge does not
regard his succession to Mr.. Hard
ing as a term and. also. that If the
people want him to run again he
will be guided by their wishes.
President Coolidge is the sixth
Vice President who has become
President. although only the second
Vice President who was elected
President as his own successor.
Colonel Roosevelt. who succeeded
to the unexpired term of President
Mckinley, was the first President,
filing an unexpired term, who subse-
quently was elected on his own ac-
count. Presidents John Tyler, Mil
lard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and
Chester A. Arthur were not given
second terms.

Cash Your Checks

[T1HE American Bankers Association
IL through its press bureau, suggests that
1t Is not good policy to carry around check
for an indefinite time before cashing it.
The advice is sound.
First of all, it's easy to mislay check
If you carry it around indorsed and then lose
it, the finder will find it as negotiable as
specie.
If it gets worn or dirtied in your wallet
the signature may become almost illegible and
your bank may refuse to cash it.
Further, it causes serious inconvenience
to the bank. The bank keeps its books care
fully balanced, and check that is made out
but not cashed for some time brings no end
of annoyance
When you get check, cash or deposit
it at once.

INFlRMARY STILL
|DISGRACEFUL

"7HE Marion County grand
jury, in its report sub
- mitted Monday, declared
the conditions at the county in.
Urinary disgraceful. That's the
normal state OF affairs at the
county's horrible almshouse.
Condemning conditions at the
institution is one of the regular
functions of the grand jury. Elk
cept for the date the last report
is practically identical with those
made by grand Juries, charity
boards. and other investigators in
the past two years.
Buildings are insanitary and I'M
safe. Feeble old men sleep on
straw ticks on cots without
springs. Beds and bedding are I'M
tidy. Because OF insufficient at
tendants infirm old men must take
care Of them. For sanitary
reasons women inmates wear their
hair bobbed.
Food is sufficient to prolong the
agony Of life for the aged paupers,
but poorly prepared because Of
lack of proper facilities.
The various reports on the in.
stitution give a perfect picture of
a revolving. squalid almshouse-a
reproach to a civilized community.
But, though improvements have
been urged repeatedly, nothing has
been done. County authorities
plead lack Of funds. Still they can
find money to buy high.priced
motor cars for county officials.
Perhaps the paupers deserve no
better treatment than they are
getting ut does seem to us'-re-
marks the grand jury-"that our
helpless, old dependents should at
least have as good and humane
care as our criminal class, which
we have found is not the case"
Which seems logical.
If Marion County can't afford to
maintain its inflrnsry adequately
why not close It and turn the old
derelicts out on the street to
starve? Or chloroform them.
What's the use OF keeping them
half alive? That's not humane.

succession allowed him almost three
and one-half years on his first term
and Colonel Roosevelt regarded it as
full term.
President Coolidge succeeded Pres
ident Harding on Aug. 8, 1923, two
years and five months after Mr.
Harding had been inaugurated. This
allowed Mr.. Coolidge only one year
and seven months in his irt term.
There is difference OF nearly two
years in length OF service OF the two
first terms and although the princi.
pie may be regarded as the same by
some there are others who take the
opposite view.
The result is that Mr.. Coolidge's
third term is giving the politicians
something else, other than the heat,
to worry about.
