EFFECT OF WHEAT COLLAPSE.

The decline in the price of wheat to less than one dollar bushel is casting a threatening shadow over American and Canadian prosperity and adding to the ferocious demands for the debenture remedy for Farm Relief The fall in the price was due to the discovery that we had nearly 120000000 bushels more wheat at given time than we had at the same period last year. Of course this slump fell harder on brokers and warehouse men than the farmers, for most of the surplus wheat had passed from farm ownership before the debacle But the large surplus on hand and the fact that the indi- cations are that we shall have another bumper crop this year are not reassurrng to the wheat farmer S immediate future. The prospects are not favorable for a large price for wheat at threshng time or thereafter for the 1929 crop It is probable that the income for the farmers in large section of the country will be very much curtaied this year.
 If things work out as indicated the purchasing power of many States will be greatly reduced and that will the slowing up of the movement of many industrial products. On the other hand, it is contended that it will divert a large part of that constantly growing surplus money from in vestment in industrials and other lines that depend largely upon agricultural prosperity to mning-par- ticularly to gold mining.
 However, the time has not arrived to measure the effect of the May wheat furry coming busi- ness conditions. We shall know as time goes on.

BREMEN BARN
is TOTAL LOSS
Lantern Upset by Calf i'm the ChaS
Uhlir Barn is Cause of
COnflagratiOn.

An unfortunate occurrence which
caused the total destruction of the
Chas. Uhlir barn in Bremen township
early last Thursday morning was
brought on when calf kicked over
a lantern that was standing near a
bunch of hay.
Mr.. Uhlir had been treating a sick
cow at intervals during the night and
at approximately 1 o'clock in the
morning while administering another
treatment had left the lantern sit
ting near bunch of hay A calf
that was running loose in the barn
at the time came near and kicked the
lantern over which caused the flames
to so rapidly spread in the nearby
hay that Mr.. Uhlir had barely time
to save himself, calf and the COW from
death in the burning structure. For
tunately however, the remainder of
the stock was in the pasture and
nothing burned except for some hay
in the loft and the barn which was
partially covered by insurance.
