CURRENT QUESTIONS ON
HOOVER'S FARM RECORD

Number Two: Did Mr.. Hoover use
the power of the Food Administration
during the war to make the fixed
price of wheat a maximum price?
Answer: All the Allied buyers in
the United States had placed the
purchasing of wheat into the hands
of one buying agency. That one
agency became our whole world mar
ket for wheat. 1t had planned to pay
$1.5O per bushel at Chicago, but the
Food Administration forced it to pay
the Presidents fixed price of 1920
and later 1925 per bushel.
Naturally, during the period of
marketing and distribution in the
fall and winter, the fixed price be-
came the actual price because the
buyers would pay no more. But at
ter this period, the price in our do
nestle markets rose above the min
imum without restraint.
The only time during the whole
war when the price of wheat could
be said to be held down by the Food
Administration was a period of a few
months in the early spring of 1918.
This was period of little interest to
farmers, since their wheat had been
disposed Of.
Stocks of wheat in this country
were low and speculation began both
in wheat and flour. To protect con-
sumers the Food Administration rig
idly enforced it's regulations of flour
mills, requiring them to limit profits
to a margin based on the fixed price
of wheat. AS a result, farmers were
saved from profiteering in prices of
flour and feed which they had to
buv from wheat they had already
sold.
During the springs of 1919 and
1920 prices of wheat ranged higher
than the fixed price. That the fixed
price was not made a maximum is
proved by the fact that the actual
price of wheat averaged $2.45 per
bushel at Chicago during the. whole
period of government control.
Question for next week: Did the
wheat growers suffer from the con-
troll of wheat during the war?

SPOONER STARTS
20-YEAR SENTENCE

Before District Juoge l.. :. Nelson
at the court house in Pipestone hast
Friday morning., Herbert Spooner,
confessed bank robber, pleaded gull
ty to two charges of third degree rob-
berry. He was sentenced to twenty
years at hard labor in the state peni-
tertiary at Saltwater, the penalty be-
ing ten years for each of the two Of
lenses. The prisoner was taken to
Saltwater Saturday morning by Sher-
iff R. S. Shepherd and Deputy Sher-
lff E. F. Fields.
The speed with which this case
was handled, has caused much favor
able comment. At noon on Tuesday,
September 18th, Spooner robbed the
bank az Ruthton, securing $2370 in
currency. Traced by means of the
license number of his automobile, ne
was arrested at Marshall Tuesday
evening County Attorney M. Tedd
Evans secured from him a written
confession that he robbed the Ruth
ton bank, and also that he had robbed
the Holland bank about month be-
fore. The confession was signed by
, Spooner at noon Wednesday, and he
declared that he was ready to appear
before the district Judge and plead
guilty. AS quickly as possible ar
engagements were made for Judge
Nelson to come here, and within sew
enty-two hours from the time Spoon
er's last crime was committed, SEN
! +o,.o bod hoon ,,ronoupood ,,por him
The charge against Spooner was
changed from first degree to third
degree robbery, in order that the
case might be disposed of without de-
lay. There is a statute providing
Fife imprisonment for bank robbery.
but case under that law requires
action by grand jury, involving de-
lay and considerable expense to the
public. Spooner being but twenty
one years of age, and his past rec
ord being good, the officials felt
justified in allowing him to plead
guilty to third degree robbery. BY
appointment of the court, Chas. Dealy
appeared as attorney for Spooner.
While Spooner's formal confession
covered only the bank robberies at
Holland and Ruthton, it is said he
also made some admissions tending
to confirm the belief that he was
the bandit that robbed the bank at
Clarified, Mimi, in July. He stated
that in the morning before robbing
the bank at Ruthton, he stopped at
Woodstock and went into the First
National Bank, but after looking over
the situation, decided not to attempt
a hold up there. 1t is believed that
Spooner got the idea which started
him upon his career of crime, from
bank robbery that occurred last
spring at his old home town of Good
win, S. D.Pipestone County Star.

Bureau Head Sees Here Chance 10 Carry Out
 Real Conservation

In Alaska today there is the finest field for the establishment of real wild life conservation, q conservation that will permit not only the taking of game animals for food and fur bearers for mar keting, but also enjoyment for sportsmen of the whole country, in the opinion of Paul C. Redington, Chief of the |. s. Biological Sur yey. He arrived yesterday for weeks stay here before under taking comprehensive field study of conditions affecting Alas kan game and fur bearers.
 "The taste l had of Alaska last Fall was such that it created a desire to get more thoroughly ac- quainted with the people and the country he said And in pursuit of this object, he will spend al most the entire summer in the field with II. w. Perfume, Alaska agent for the bureau and execu- tive officer of the Alaska Game Commission.
 Depend on Commission
 It is the evident intention of MT. Redington to depend very largely on the Alaska Game Com mission in the establishment and administration of what he was pleased to term "real conserva- tion.' He was impressed with the general public support and CO operation which the people of the Territory have given the Com mission in it's efforts to protect and perpetuate Alaskan wild life.
 There is very great opportuni- ty here, he is convinced, for main taining in perpetuity q supply of big game and fur bearing animals that will rebound to the Terri. tory's credit from both the eco homie and aesthetic viewpoints. The Territory has a wonderful as set in it's game, notably caribou, moose, mountain sheep goats, grizzly and Alaska brown bear. "I believe we can make record for game conservation here which will be outstanding for the North American continent, and 1 say this without any intent to belittle or ignore what has been done in British Columbia" Mir Redington said.
