‘ VOLUME 26. NUMBER 8. . $1.50 PER YEAR. , GOOD NEWS FOR WHEAT GROWERS Chicago Prices Secured for Coast Terminals. (Spokesman-Review, Feb. 20) The delegation which went from here to Washington to secure a better minimum price for the 1918 wheat crop has been successful, according to the following tele- gram from E. T. Coman to R. In- singer, of the chamber of com- merce. “Committee, with the Pacific northwest senators and represen- tatives, have secured concessions which will assure our farmers Chi- cago prices at-Coast. terminals for the 1918 crop.” This will add, approximately, $12,000,000 to the value of the In- land. Empire wheat crop on the supposition that there will bea 60,000,000-bushel crop, which. is reasonable, with a good season. Present indications point to $1.91 a bushel for wheat. Until now $1.70 a bushel was the basis. One- sixth of the wheat of the nation is raised in the northwest. Mr. Insinger said yesterday: “The gratitude of all the people of the northwest is due the com- mittee which achieved this result. The difference in price to the farmer will mean the difference between the 30-cent freight rate from here to Chicago and 84 to 9 cents freight rate from this dis- trict to the Pacific coast. Our price for good wheat will be about $1.91 for bulk and more for sack- ed grain. . The committee also has assurance that arrangements are being made to provide grain bag shipments from Calcutta.” The strong point of the delega- tion from here was that the Pacif- ic northwest raised more wheat for export than any other section of the country in proportion to its population. — The Federal Reserve eieeeaticcneca — | Mrs. A.

This advice is contained in a letter written by Chairman ‘Bryan of the state council, to the chairman of one . of the county councils before - which the question arose. Two of the German congregations con- sented to conduct their services in English in the future. Two other pastors have so far failed to do so. Speaking of the latter, Chair- man Bryan said: “Assuming that these pastors and their flocks are loyal Ameri¢an citizens, it is regretable that they do not see not only the reasonableness, but the necessity in the midst of war to avoid anything through which aid and comfort might be given to the enemy government or which might be suspected of be- ing a means of so doing. The American people are sending their sons to war against an enemy government, they are giving their money and making sacrifices to overthrow the hostile power of that government, and they are in no mood to tolerate anything which is not plain and open, so that it may be known that theré is nothing hostile under cover.” —State Council Defense Bulletin. ee Karl Killmar has bought Fred Hinkelman’s fine 320-acre farm near Winona, at $90 per acre, All farm’ implements’ go with the place. cussedness. ‘ SECURITY that cannot ‘be questioned, lo- cation that is convenient, a courtesy and ac- commodation that is uniform, are all afforded T_T 7 TH Ear German State Bank CAPITAL and SURPLUS $30,000 E.
