WHEAT IS GOING UP.
EUGENE MYER, JR. IN CHARGE.
BEER AND SHIPS.
MORE THAN AIR MAIL SERVICE.
The Department of Agriculture
says farmers all lost money on their
wheat last year. It cost $1.24 a bush
el to grow it. The average price waa
99 cents. Unless all signs fail,'farm
ers will get all the wheat costs this
year and a good deal more. Many
sections of the country producing
fewer than 15 bushels of wheat to the
acre, with labor and fertiliser costing
what they do, it is hard to see how
wheat can pay, even at $1.24. The
Republican plan is to force the price
to $1.50. How many votes would that
• -be-worth-? T—-rrr. J J — !r
If farmers have any wheat unsold
from fhe last crop—they usually have
none when the price goes up—let them
hang on to it. And if they are wise
they will hold for high prices the
wheat now being threshed.
When the really big people want
wheat to go up, as they do now-, it
goes up. They have the power to
make it go. It is not like one in
dividual, professional wheat gambler,
or little pool, trying to fight- the
wolves of the “short side.”
RAINBOW MEN | DAVIS ANSWERS
INVADE COLUMBIA
Other grains, com especially, and
cotton and stocks, will travel upward
with the wheat. What Republican
victory, big victory, demands is a
prosperity boom. You’ll have it.
Readers may remember that this
writer, when cotton was below 25, an
nounced that-it would travel up to
35. It did, moving steadily and high
«r than 35.- What the big fellows
want really happens.
Eugene Myer, Jr., able young citi-
xen of many millions, is in charge of
tfce plan to put up the prices of wheat
and of other farm products to make
farmers happy, and enable the Gov
ernment to lend them more money.
Dan’t gamble, however. It is vir
tnous to pray that fanners may have
better times and better prices. It’s
.foolish to gamble on it. No little
man is «mart enough or quick enough
to survive in that game. _
If you happen to come ip, contact
with Eugene Myer, Jr., who is now
traveling through the West, you
might get valuable information. It
is said he intends to put the average
value of cattle up $10 a head. That
would help some. . #
' A time is coming when lack of
American-owned ships will cost us
more billions than that same lack
cost in the last war.
The various brands of beer, reli
gion, foreign entanglements, etc., all
have their importance.
But none is as important as the
safety of the country. And that de
pends on ships. On the wateY for
carrying goods and troops. Above
the water and under the water, for
fighting.

Columbia, July 14.—The opening

the benefits from the struggle will be
realized by the nation only through
the continued efforts of the veterans
as private citizens.
State lines, he remarked in refer

them. They are a united body of men
looking to the highest welfare of their
country.”
