Stay Qutiof War Mrs, Carrie Chapman Catt. president of an association of 2,000,000 women in discussing the claim of ‘drafted men for exemption. because, of -“dependant wives,” makes a plain statement in the Evening. World. y ‘ Mrs. Catt holds that.a mother with young children makes a definite eco- nomic contribution to her country, pro- Perally~ recognized in. the draft, but childless young wives: have no right to ask the government to let their men’ stay.at home and ‘toil, so that they may lie on sofas. Her motto is to let them: work. Every ‘girl should be taught some job for independence sake. War but emphasizes the need, quickens the pace, says Mrs. Catt. She continues ‘The Man-power of the nation moves to the front and. the woman-power of, the country closes up back of the men! ‘pressing through all lines of industry,’ trade and transportation, nearer and nearer to the trenches until the wom- en are on the firing line itself as they! are in Russia today. There is work for all and all must help.” Mrs. Catt is a member of the Coun- cil of National Defense and her ad- vice to the woman-power of the coun- try is most timely. ** * Wisconsin Visitor.

That therefore a higher price should be paid for spring wheat than winter wheat and that natural market condi-|. tions prior to the action of the price fixing commission indicated that spring wheat would have brought a higher price than winter wheat, and that therefore the United States gov- ernment as unjustly discriminatea against the producers of spring wheat in the northwestern states by now fix- ing a basic price of $2.20 per bushel foor our best grades. “Therefore, in the name of justice and in order to keep our community from being seriously disrupted when our food producing capacity should be up to the highest possible effi- ciency, we respectfully petition. the. United States government to order its price fixing commission to re-consider the prices fixed for the 1917 spring wheat crop and arrange a schedule that will give us not less than $3.00 per bushel at our local market. “We further respectfully beg per- mission to. call the attention of the United States government to the fact that we suspect that contracts for the future delivery of large quanti- ties of wheat had been closed at $3.00 or more per bushel prior to the begin- ning of the session of the price fix- ing commission, and that if the gov- ernment does not now take all the spring wheat that is offered for sale, by producers and handlers it will be helping speculators who have con- tracts to fill. at $3.00 per bushel to buy wheat with which to fill those contracts at $2.20 per bushel, or to reap a clear profit of $0c per bushel */ farm.
