" "" Wheat is now selling in Chicago around $1 a bushel. Coal is sc.ting in the sume market at i'rcun $10 to $15 a ton. The last lime wheat sold tor $1 a bushel in Chicago, just before the outbreak of the World war. the price of eoal in that city was from $5 to .+9 a ton. The wheat growers are naturally asking why wheat should lie selling at pre-war prices while eoal remains double or more than it was before the war llitrll cost of labor and excessive transportution charges, say the coal turn, lint does not increased labor costs and high freight rates affect wheat as well as coal? Thus hus the growing of wheat become unprofitable, while the coal baron and his aides continue to jtile tt| war profits. One paragraph at least in the annual report of the public print, er, George II. Carter, to Cougres? i.ii.kes pleasing reading for the average printing office with linoi,?pe equipment, in the last few years the linotype company has increased enormously the price it demands and gets for the parts lor its machines that must be ( ought with painful regularity to In ep the machines in running order. When he assumed charge oi the government printing office some months ago Mr. Carter conceivid the idea of installing a milling machine to manufacture new parts and repair old parts no* Hie linotypes 111 use at that office. Already the milling maeluue has almost paid for itself. "'Hie purchase of the milling inaehiiu was prompted especially by ilie fact that manufacturers of pi.ris require*I by certain typesetting machines in this office had increased their prices in some instances :{()() t*? 4(H) per cent; for cxailinlc. on** minor imrt wliicli was quoted in 1919 at $4.46 was listed in-* 1920 at $18," says the report.. The pity of the inattei ?, ' is that few printing offices in the country are able to protect themselves as Mr. Carter is protecting ? the government. Masons Elect Officers.
