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,

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

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

report.. The pity of the inattei

country are able to protect themselves
as Mr. Carter is protecting
? the government.
