CHICAGO, June 5.-A pause in
baking and milling trade activity
diminished support that has buoyed
wheat prices the past three days

Losses of more than cents in

serted their unWlllingsess to extend
commitments in view of uncertainty
as to how much new grain vii! flow

Highest Since 1887.

Food prices received by farmers
and paid by consumers generally are
the highest since 1887. They are
only slightly below the 1887 peak,
which stands as the highest since
1890.
Prices of commodities and services
used by farmers likewise have risen,
increasing parity levels of the
products of agriculture Parity" is
regarded as the price which gives a
commodity purchasing power equiv
alent to that of the l909-1914 base
period,
OF II important farm products
near parity or above parity
prices have been reached by more
than half. The rise, accelerated in
recent months of expanded domestic
consumer demand and shipments
abroad, has been Sharpest in the
case of butter, cheese, eggs and hogs.
The Chicago wholesale price of
butter has risen from about 26 cents
a year ago to 35 cents pound,
cheese from IA to 10 cents, eggs from
IS to 25 cents a dozen and hogs
from S. hundredweight to around
S9.40 average.

Two months ago the Government
announced that to stimulate pro-

eggs it would try to maintain prices
at SO for hogs, 81 cents for butter,
% cents for eggs and Is cents for
chickens. All these prices have been
surpassed.
Rice, beef, cattle, chickens, wool,
veal calves and lambs are above
parity" Apples, hogs, eggs and
butterfat are near parity" Cotton

God Bless America

It's easy to sing God Bless Amer

It isn't hard to salue the flag as
the parade swings past.
There is nothing difficult in re-
peating the Flag Salute or Ameri-
cans Greed if there are enough peo-
pie in the group to carry us over
forgotten words.
We can sing the Star-Spangled
Banner-through most of the first
verse.
Yes, we've taken our patriotism
the easy way, too busy to bother
about holidays save as vacation
days. We couldn't be bored by
speaking programs Memorial Day,
Fourth of July, Armistice Day or
Constitution Day.
It's time we assumed more than
the easy privileges of citizenship.
We do have the greatest country on
earth for opportunity, liberty, free
dom, justice. Why? Because men
and women in the yesteryear didn't
take their patriotism the easy way.
Today challenges us to be worthy
OF those who gave far more than lip
service-Valley Forge, Concord, Lex

freedom and preservation of this ma
ton indivisible, with liberty and JUS

God has blessed America more
richly than any other nation on
earth. It is time for us to bless Am
erica with loyal, devoted, consecrat-
ed service, and not leave this privi-
lege entirely to God.

We believe the time is coming
when there will be established at
necessary points in the country vo-
cational training schools for young
men and young women who desire
to fit themselves to do some useful
work, with their hands. Young men
and young women graduate from
high school and college and drift
aimlessly about for a year or two or
three trying to fit into a world for
which they have Incorporation or
training. It occasions a great eco
nomic waste. The theory that limit
should be put on the number of
men trained for work in a machine
age is selfish and wrong and causes
a greater economic loss and injury
than could possibly be occasioned
because of surplus of skilled and
trained workers. Why not complete
the education of our young people?

IN HIS MEMORY

LIN plEiIAo1G1
Thomas Edison obtained 1,150 in
vention patents and his influence in
science and industry has since been
felt though he passed from this life
years ago. Those patents included
the electric light bulb, the first dyn-
amo and power and lighting sys-
tenn, the motion picture, the phono-
graph, the principles of the radio
tube. Rather an influence in OUT
lives, was he not?
Born on February IL, i'm a small
Ohio town, Edison lived to give the
world such a contribution that his
discoveries cover and investment
of over $35, 0OO 100000. His direct in
ventions give employment to about
100000 people. Well might we
salute his name on his birthday as
that of one of the worlds greatest
benefactorS to humanity.

ON FAITH

ON Faith
When the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln comes this year, pay es-
peiial tribute to the man for his
great faith in his country. He be-
lieVed so in the union of the state
that he gave his life in the cause
that the nation might be preserved
as a unit. Today, with the amount
of feeling against defiling the in
situations handed down from the
early years, when human liberty
seems to be at stake, when freedom
lies on the alter of sacrifice, then
indeed do we need to reflect upon
the faith of the man Lincoln. Lin
coin was torn apart within him
self by war, his spirit was for peace
while he watched a nation Sooth and
rage as it struggled for cause. He
withstod the abuse and curses that
were heaped upon him, threw them
off and forgave as he tried to unite
in friendship state with state. Lin
coin thought deeply, and never
jumped to conclusions, never passed
over thoughtlessly or made an ex-
cuse for an action. He was never
easy on himself. The deed was
done, he faced the issue and con-
sequences. He did not applaud his
triumphs nor did he attempt to
hide his failures. Such traits found
in Lincoln would be helpful traits
in present day statesmen.

The big problem before the Am
erican people is not should Presi-
dent Roosevelt be given more power
or more money to spend, but wheth-
er it will be to the best interest of
the United States to have England
defeat Hitler. If it is to our best
interest to see Hitler defeated then
anything that will make this pos
sible is justified. It should be under
stood that our concern for a victory
by England is not because we might
be partial to England, but because
we feel that the American way of
life stands better chance of en-
during with England the victor.
