ACT OF GOD CUTS
WHEAT SURPLUS AND
E. CAUSES PRICE RISE
Burning Prairie Sun Gives An
sWer Which Economists
Sought in Vain
by The Associated Press

An ACT Of God" concerned itself
Wednesday with the price of wheat
Premier Bennett of Canada, at the
world economic conference. used the
phrase. He was commenting on the
rise Of wheat prices in America to
dollar and more bushel and he sug-
gested it might be due to IAN act of
God, providence or maybe Roosevelt"
: Whatever the cause or the combi-
nation of causes, the price of wheat
has been for long time matter Of
anxiety to hundreds of millions, Of
people. When the Canadian premier
said maybe Roosevelt" he undoubt-
edly had in mind the various meas
ures the United States government
has taken toward meeting this prob
lem.
The governments concern, however,
Is merely the reflection of the deep
interest of many groups OF its citi-
zens; the farmers, who grow the
wheat and who must grow it at a
profit If they are to prosper: the mill
ing industry, the railroads who trans
port it, the elevators, the dealers, the
merchandisers who sell its products;
and (alWays) the millions who depend
upon it for food.
Seek Business Revival
All these human agencies have
wrestled with the problem OF wheat,
and they have hunted an equitable,
workable way to put 1t at q price
which might, by satisfying the farmer.
start general buiness revival.
On the burning wings of prairie
sun, however, comes the promise OF
an answer to the problem. That was
what the Canadian premier meant
when he said ian act Of God" The
sun is burning the wheat in the field,
acres and acres of 1t: destroying It.
The economists had said There Is
TOO much wheat"
AS though in answer, there have
come upon the grain fields Of Kansas,
Nebask i the Dakotas and Minnesota
scorching temperatures. There was
no rain; only the unrelenting sun.
Wheat has been destroyed by the
hundreds of thousands of bushels.
What Premier Bennett called an
"Act of God" was, in the words OF one
midwest financial writer, "the worst
spring drought in history"
Farmers Gnash Teeth
It is in that situation that the farm
err views the rise of the price Of wheat
from around AZ cenuts-its lowest mark
tor a great many years-to above one
COLLAR, and CRASHES his teeth. What
good is dollar wheat, or two dollar
wheat, to him who has no wheat to
sell?
To the farmer, therefore, the ad-
vance In the price Of wheat may mean
little in comparison to what it means
to other groups. Grain dealers are

Welfare workers report that a
dozen or more families in and about

ing, due to the lack of employment.
There are no funds available to help
them. Gifts of money will be CRATE
fully received and judiciously expend-
ed, and any articles of clothing, as
well as food of all kinds, will be col
lected by the Boy Scouts each Satur-
day morning and taken to a central
place for distribution.
No doubt some of our people will
desire to aid particular families, by
donations or employment.
The names of those who are needy
may be obtained from Mrs. L. F.
Tower.
1t is our responsibility to care for
those who cannot help themselves.
Let US make use of the boxes that
have been set up in various bust
ness places by the Legion and the

money or clothing privately, Mrs.
Tower and the local welfare commit
tee will assist.

WHERE REPUTATION
COUNTS

When it comes to fire apparatus for
"town protection" the gallonage of a
pump doesn't necessarily determine
the quality of the finished products
nor does the horsepower of the motor
necessarily determine it's usefulness
and dependability. Dc,
An "assembler" of fire apparatus
that is, maker who buys chassis
here, body there, and his equipment
somewhere else and simply assemblies
it in his shop-might offer pump
or a motor equivalent in capacity to
the products of pioneer manufacture
ers who build fire apparatus and moth
ing else. He might be able to sell
his products at 20 or rs per cent less
money. But that doesn't mean that
it is the best buy.
Almost anybody can make thing
a little cheaper-or a little worse
The few manufacturers who specialize
in making fire apparatus only go far
beyond rated capacities. They choose
every bolt, every part, with an eye to
it's influence on the finished job-will
it wear as long as possible, will it
maintain its efficiency over long years
of arduous service, will it be immune
to failure? These are the questions
they ask themselves. Quality does
the answering.
Then, after "town protection" has
been sold, they put at the disposal of
the purchaser the full facilities of re-
liable service Notwithstanding
the casual manufacturer cannot do.
When town buys fire engine it
shouldn't buy merely engineering fig
ures. 1t should buy dependability
based on time tested reputation.
