Boosted Wheat Prices Raise Much Discussion Speculation or Non-Speculation, Men Who Grew tli?* Wheat Have Not Hmcliitnl Greatly hy lli^li Prims and Mour Is All Splf*Ri*in|g Kind Now H.v O. I,. StXKTT '?* |?r-, Tl,,. \,|mn -k * na-ago. J.tn. 28 ? The sensa tional advance of wheat to near war tluie level* and the publication of stories dealing with probable MiHiinn for the rise, liav> stirred a spirit nil discission here a? to whether a "corner" exists or whether world demand alone is responsible. H is conceed?d ,.Vcn hv I Homo who do not like in *,?. the J^tlvitles of ( li?> ChieaRn hoard m"oard of trade brought int.) ? question. that speculation has flayed u part in bringing the market to Its present heights. Hut It is eon tended that Che speculator performed a public service bv support mu the market while it was adjust ing itself to a world supply and demand basis. An official statement issued January C by the railed Stales Department of Agriculture to the effect that "no Information in the posession of the department'^ supervisors give ground for alarm that the essential bread grain of the I'nlted States is being: made the subject of vicious anil harmful speculation," is being quoted to -sustain thin contention. The Government statement said high grain prices were warrented by the world shortage. Emphatic among those who de clare no comer in wheat exists is Julius II. fUM'ni-s. formerly president of the I'nlted States chamber of commerce and now member of a leading grain export firm which does not deal In specu lative grain. Mr. Ilarncs, who has been mentioned in the newspapers as one of those who made big pro fit* In grain recently. Issued I he following statement: f "My firm do?>s not own k bushel of wheat. In Chicago. There exists no corner in Chicago, and . with recent advances, is on ati American Btandard wheat, even with recent advances, is on tho export basis to tho great markers C 'df the world. While Chicago is 11.00. Winnipeg is $1.17, Liver ?pool $2. lft; Germany. France and Holland $2.15; Italy $2.20. "The fovtunately large crop of America Is needed in every corner of the world. United Suites wheat exports have trebled In the past six months. That means that export houses like ourselves, thave steadily bought in America as they sold abroad and this buy ing is the nilsrepersented basis for such unfair statements. More over. my own foreign connections mouths ago indicated that suc cessive crop skrinkages in Can ada. Europe and especially in Argentina, indicated a coining scarcity of bread grain before the new crop. This information I liaye consistently, by press and word, tried to place before tho American farmer, that we might secure the best price the world market could afford. "Certain farm leaders advised The farmer to rush bis crop to market before election, stating flTrft the early fall prices artifi fuTglly sustained for political effect. There was. an extra ordinary marketing taken care of at advancing prices, but more orderly marketing would have retained on the farm more wheat today for the 50 cent advance since election. Americans and America's farmers should under stand the extraordinary world sit uation which In a few months. r< lieved the farm distress of sevcr al years. Last Monday wh- .e < grading in Europe was the largest ever known with countries ordi narily exporting a surplus like Roumania, Bulgaria and Kn la. buying wherever wheat could l?e found in America, Argentina and Australia for Import. Here we should remember that Russia, which used to export 250.000.000 bushels of bread grain. Is import ing flour this year. Russian ?farmers will not grow grain; Rus sian factories will not make agri cultural Implements nor fertilizer. Russian railroads break down un der every small strain; all l?o ? cause a government exists which can overnight, by a stroke of a pen. confiscate the savings of years, thus discouraging all enter prises. That government did thin same injury to our own people there and yet propose on redress ." Men who grew the wheat are not benefitting extensively from the advance In grain prices to war time levels. Tnere are some ex ceptions but In most Instances farmers sold their wheat last fall when prices were much lower. The majority of producers In the grain belt of the Middle-West sold before the high mark ap proached. in soiuc sections of Kansas only 12 per cent of the crop has not been marketed and In other mid-Western sections the percentage Is as low as five per cent. In the Northwest however, con siderable quantities of wheat have been held a? point of origin awnlt V Ing this advance to the 92 maik ? or above. There has been no \ damping of this wheat however ' otnee farmers seldom sell on a rising market until a sag in price comes, in California farmers are selling heavily as almost half of | the crop (lien* still is in flr??t hatulifc One farmer _to\Ui>' tlin iHweil of 42.000 Clicks at $3.25 a 'hundred pounJn and other sales ranging from 10.000 to 25,000 sacks have been fairly numerous. In the Pacific Northwest the majority of the grain growers got aliout fl.SO a bushel for their crops and only two to five per cent of the yield still remains to !)?? sold. Dealers are bidding ?2.2R a Inishel for Big Bend blue stem for March delivery with none offered. In fact much of the wheat acreage in Oregon. Idaho and Washington must be replant ed and so much wheat has been sold that some farmers find th?-m s.zlve.4 wit.hout seed. Flour prices have made repeat el advances along with wheat. Fancy patent soft wheat flour at. Slo.io to $10.60 a barrel, an. I hardwheitt short p:it??nt flour at to $10.10 at Kansas City, eclipse any prices in that market for >i-ars. Similar advances ar?' shown at Portland. At Omaha flour, lias Jumped nearly a dollar a barrel in two weeks. In the Twin Cities, miller.; say they will have to advance flour pricas further if wheat keeps up but that this is not expected to reach the consumer unless the wheat prices hold up for several weeks more. Mills In various sections of the country are busy as bakers are specifying freely against con tracts. Many exprrt Judges Including farmers, millers and bakers an ticipate a Rag in wheat prices but none is willing to predict when it will come, how extensive it will be or how long it will last.

SMOKELESS POWDEK STORED UNDEK WATEK San Francisco, Jan. 28 ? Exper fuientb conducted by the army have demonstrated that smokeless powder may be stored under wat er in cold mountain lakes with out deterioration. it wan an nounced here recently at head quarters of the 'Ninth Corps Area. This, it was said, probably will provide a method of storing large quantities of powder without dau g? r of fire or explosion. The con stant low temperature maintained under the water retards the de composition of the powder which normally would take place if it were stored in magazines and thus is expected actually to in crease Its life by probably ten years. ?'Powder which has been In storage for several years under water," said the statement, "can be given a simple drying treat ment and fired In the gun for which it was originally designed without appreciable variation in velocity and pressure. These con ditions are maintained with little difference whether the powder is stored in sea water or fresh water. "Three types of powder Have been used in the under-wa??T storage experiment. Powder for ?5-mm. 155-nun and 12 Inch guus was placed in specially prepared boxes provided with numerous opening to allow free circulation of water, and immersed Jn the lake to a depth of about thre?* feet. For purposes of each kind ol pow der was stored in a magazine. At the end of six months samples taken from the lake were found to have undergone no appreciable change, either in stability or bal listic qualities." ijviny; AFFKcrrn HK1TISH HTKKL IJfSl.NKHS Middlesboro, Eng., Jan. 28. ? Speaking on the outlook in the steel trade. Sir Arthur Dormau. a member of one of the leading steel producing companies, said that whereas the cost of living was over 70 per cent above the pre war cost, steel prices were up less than 40 per cent. Unless there | was beforo long a radical reduc tion in the cost of living in this country, and in the price that the iron and steel trade had to pay for services which It did not con trol. there would be a decline in the export of Iron and steel which would seriously affect the pur chasing power of this couutry in foreign markets. If this was not to happen. he said. It might become necessary to SHImMIm the export of iron and steel produced In Great Britain until such time as an equilibrium was once more restored between the British and continental con ditions of life. Coolidge Having A Bully Time In The White House Not Whut Roosevelt Would Call a Bully Time ut All hut Nevertheless Austere New Knglunder Enjoy ing Himself Hugely in Official Duties Il>- ItOBKRT T. RMAU, irnpnllhl IM1 hr Ttie Admnr*! Washington. Jan. 28. ? Now | that Secretary Ttasconi Sic nip haw j proclaimed the fact that the | Presidency Is not a "killing Job" ' it can be told that President Cool- : Idge is having a "bully" time in the White House. it Ik not the ' "bully" time of a Itoonevelt, but ; in his own quiet New EnRland j way Mr. Cool Id ue In enjoying ev- , ??ry moment of hia high service to j the nation. Tie- President finds much time 1 for his own contemplation*. His work appears to he ho ordered a* to leav' him free from any seni- 1 bianco "f hustle or excitement. He cotiies and goes from the White House proper to the executive of- 1 fleet? seemingly at will and it is s:i i<l tliat on Sunday mornings when the clerical stafT Is at home possibly still in bed -the Pres ident often wanders over to the offices visiting one room after an other. Sometimes he sits at the desk where the mall has accumu-j lated, opens a bunch of letters and calmly reads their contents. I No other President within thei recollect Ion of the oldest White! HotiM aitaches ever has done! this. The main purposo of the j secretarial and clerical staff at I the White House Is supposed to be to keep all letter? away from j the Chief Executive. Ordinarily I It if about as difficult to get a personal letter before the Presl- i dent as it is for n camel to pass through the eye of a needle. If the public ever thought It could get n short cut to executive con- j slderfltlon by writing a letter, the j mails would be cloftced with the unwanted and In most cases en tlrelv u Selena letters. Although this Is supposed to be the busy season for Presidents. Mr. Coolldge finds time aplenty, for his dally strolls through the' city. His favorite walk la between 6 an*1 G o'oletk In the sfternoon and his path generally lies right down the principal shopping dis trict -usually F. street. He will wulk down one side of the thor oughfare an for n? Ninth street and then stroll back the other side, doing a bit of window shop ping on the way. Comparatively few parsons apeak to the Prealdent while on his strolls. This Is because hs seldom glveB them a chance Tor a Habitation. Mr. Coolldv*' generally walks with his head down an if buffeting a Vermont gale In mid winter. When the head la up the Coolldge eyes are generally Htrahcht ahead. There is nothing of the saunterer about him. When he la moving hla pace ia brink When he stops to look in the win- 1 flows Mb pause Is brief. Other Presidents In walking about the city have rather Invited Informal exchanges of greeting with pass ers-by. This wbh particularly true of Mr. Harding, although the latter walked but seldom, prefer* ring to take hla outdoor exercise on the golf links when the weath er was at all possible. Even the supposedly austere Mr. Wilson was In a receptive mood for salutations when he strolled abroad. Hut unlike Mr. ; Coolldge and Mr. Harding. Mr. Wilson preferred as a rule to ride In his auto when out for the air. Mr. Taft waa quite n pedestrian during his White House days, but he, too, had the auto habit. Pres ident Roosevelt's walks were gen erally "hikes" out Into the parki a"hd the country and he generally was accompanied by his more In timate "buddies." President Cool ldge, save for the attendance of n secret service man. walks alone. FAIJ* in mjodt and IMrtl/M ATKH HIR HIP J. T. Wynn. 107 Second street, employe of A. F.
