With} wheat selling at from $2.50. to} $2.80 in the farming sections | where the grain is produced, the} opening announcement of the} Chicago wheat gamblers is that! wheat prices will be about 2.50) at Chicago. | This means that Chicago will again be recognized as the base for wheat prices and that the farmer will get Chicago prices | less commissions, other expenses and freight charges to Chicago. | ** 1 Of course the wheat does not go |)"**! to Chicago, but that makes no difference. The gamblers con- sume the freight charges which come out of the farmers’ pock- ets. They pay freight on their | wheat to Chicago, although it is| never shipped to Chicago, but} much of it is ground into flour and consumed in their home lo- cality, or on the Pacific coast. Is shipped east and west by water, hut the freight from point of de- livery..to Chicago is taken from the price paid the farmer for the | wheat. | Chicago has cost the produc- ers of wheat and other- grains, cattle, sheen and hogs billions of dollars in freight charges that never went to the railroads but to the producers because ‘“Chi- eago is the base of market quota- tions.”—-Moscow Star Mirror. DON’T TAKE A CHANCE WITH FIRE. It never pays to take a chance If you have got to gamble, take a “flyer” on the stock market or play the ponies, but don’t take a chance on fire. | Every thousand feet of green timber near your home is worth | at least $10 in wages to you and | your neighbors, besides its stum- | If it is| on national forest land you are | | part owner, and if it is destroyed | | by fire you lose both values. page value to its owner. Burned timber pays no wages. The prosperity and development | pend upon keeping that timber Don't take a chance with fire yourself, and don’t let your neighbor do it. When you burn brush take every precaution to obey the law and see that your neighbor does. Remember that smoke from just one piece of carelessness. The biggest fires in history were started by those who didn’t woods would burn. Be as careful of fire as you are of powder; it‘s just as danger- ous. It might be stated that the persons who think a political | system can be devised that will | | automatically insure the rights of the people without effort on their part have the same ‘brand be for notion that prosperity can substitute work. There are persons who would} not invest a nickle in bank secur- ities of the best variety who sub- scribe for stock offered by gold | brick political promoters dealing exclusively in tinsel and then wonder why they get no poitical dividends worth while. No man expects a big steel | bridge or a ten story building to be erected without much labor and time being spent. But that doesn’t prevent many men from thinkine it is possible to have a good, substantial nation backed by widespread prosperity on talk | alone. Right now is the time to see twine needs.
