1 March 23.—"There will be no lost
motion at Camp Travis. Every move-
ment made by every soldier of this
command must be made with a dis-
tinct purpose." This is the opinion of
Major General Henry T. Allen, com-
manding the Ninetieth Division, Na-
tional Army, who has recently return-
ed from a careful inspection of the
English, French and American troops
in the war zone of France
The absolute necessity for a coordi-
nation of physical activity with men-
tal activity is apparent to those who
have seen service or have visited the
fronts in Europe, according to Gen-
eral Allen. With this end in view,
j the soldiers of Camp Travis are to be
! given a thorough course of training of
I such nature that will call into play,
not only the muscles of the body, but
away in the uninterrupted efforts
against the tenacious British soldiers
and our own."
"The wear on the German reserves
must already be considerable to judge
from the number of divisions thrown
into the furnace and incessantly re-
newed," writes Jean Villars in Excel-
sior. "As regards our own reserves, it
is certain that until now neither the
British army nor ours have used any
of them on the battlefield. We pre-
fer to cede ground and let the ene-
my exhaust himself while waiting the
right moment for the counter blow."

may not be altogether necessary for
compliance with the former drill reg-
ulations on the subject, but they serve
to do more. No man can salute and
salute properly at Camp Travis with-
out knowing and without thinking
just what he is doing. Many times a
day salutes are made and returned
and every time a stimulus is of neces-
sity sent through the brain.
Aside from this training of mind
and body that will fit the soldiers of
Camp Travis for victorious soldiers
there is yet another result equally as
far reaching. When the war is over
and the soldiers have returned to
their homes or farms, their's will not
be slow acting, sluggish minds. They
will be able to take their places
among the leaders as worthy citizens
better able to cast a ballot and assist
in the administration of the affairs of
the country.
No better evidence of the spirit
generally prevailing throughout the
country could be secured than that of
a recent occurrence in the Depot
Brigade at Camp Travis. Tired of his I
army life, a big negro recruit decided I
to quit the army and return to his i
home. He did so, went "absent with - j
out leave" and returned to his home j
with the expectation of being met
with open arms. He was temporarily,
but the father of the deserting negro
was patriotic. He took the boy to the
depot himself, boarded the train and
brought him to the proper authorities !
in the camp. He went further than |
this. He prepared for the expected j
charge that the boy was worthless |
and he wanted to get rid of him by
bringing with him papers from reput-
able citizens stating he was a negro
of good standing in the community in
which he resided. It is only one of
many instances occuring daily.
Suffrage Meeting
(Contributed)
On Friday afternoon an interesting
meeting in behalf of woman suffrage
was held at the home of Mrs. Oat-
man-Blachly. Despite the severe
storm, the room was well filled, and
the audience listened appreciatively
to a very able speech by Miss Doris
Stevens, the youngest member of the
executive committee of the National
Womans' party. Miss Stevens de-
scribed the methods by which the
House of Representatives had been
brought to pass the Susan B. An-
thony suffrage amendment last Janu-
ary, and outlined the work now be-
ing done to insure the passage of this
amendment by the senate.
She explained the meaning of the
extensive speaking tour now being
made by members of the League,
stating that in some parts of the
country the press has refused to print
the recent decision of the district
court of appeals, which on March 4
reversed previous judgments of the
Washington police court, anil declared
the arrest and imprisonment of suf-
frage pickets illegal. This unwilling-
ness of certain newspapers to do or-
dinary justice to the women whose
conduct they have attacked has made
it necessary for these women to go in
person and tell the truth to the peo-
ple of the country. At present the
pickets are not only cleared of all
stigma of unlawful conduct, but they
are in a position to press damage
suits for unlawful imprisonment, and
to demand an investigation by con-
gress to fix responsibility for their
illegal arrest and niprisoiiment, both
of which actions they are now takng.
At the conclusion of Miss Stevens
convincing address, the following
resolutions were passed without a
dissenting voice:
Resolution adopted at meeting of
district branch of the National Wom-
an's Party, at Norman, Oklahoma, on
March 29. 1918.
RESOLVED: That this meeting
call upon President Wilson to use his
influence to secure the passage of the
Susan B. Anthony amendment by the
Senate of the United States, as he
has already done to secure its pas-
sage by the House of Representa-
senate of the United States, as he
tives. Be it also
RESOLVED: That this meeting
call upon the Senate of the United
States to pass at once the federal
suffrage amendment, thus making the
United States safe for democracy. Be
it also
RESOLVED: That these resolu-
tions be sent to the president, the
vice-president, Senator Martin, Demo-
cratic leader of the Senate; Senator
Gallinger, Republican leader; and to
Senator Gore and Senator Owens.

Washington, D. C., March 30.—
AJmerica today hit the roughest food
road thus far traveled in the war.
The titanic task of supplying Eng-
land, France, and Italy with sufficient
cereals to maintain the morale of the
troops and people has reached the
point where the American table is
forced to make the greatest sacrifice
of its history.
Individuals are limited to a pound
and a half of wheat a week and hotel
men are pledged not to serve wheat
flour in any form until the next
harvest. There will be plenty of meat,
however, to make up for the wheat
bread lack, meatless days having been
abandoned for twenty days.
Coin is called upon to fill the wheat
gap for the time, Beginning tomorrow
cora shipments to Europe stop for
two months—the germinating season.
Thousand of bushels will thus be
available for hcmie consumption and
tonnage and wheat will be released
for Europe. It is estimated that
twenty million bushels of wheat will
be shipped across during April.

| OUBLINO the farmer's
1 share of the wheat dol-
1 lar Is one of the war-
1 tline jobs Uncle Sam has
done since food control
became possible. After
Lm? H five months of grap-
• pllng with the problem,
Uncle Sam Is now trans-
lating Into the pockets of both produc-
ers and consumers benefits derived by
the Nation. He has shut off specula-
tion, produced a free market and
movement of all grades of wheat, cut
expenses and Induced a normal flow of
wheat In natural directions, and ef-
fected a thousand other economies.
The Food Administration Grain Cor-
poration, which supervises the sale, or
Itself buys every bushel of wheat pro-
duced In the Nation In Its progress
| from country elevator to foreign buy-
ers or domestic consumers, marks a
new step toward national efficiency,
j How In four short months it has been
| done Is told In the following episodes
j wherein two bushels of wheat traveled
j to market.
One fine fall afternoon, Col. Bill
Jenkins, who farms somewhere in MIs-
| souri, loaded his wheat into a wagon
and drove along the black road that
led across the prairie to town. When
he reached the co-operative elevator
of which he was a stockholder, he
pulled up on the scales, checked his
gross weights carefully, and began to
unload. The manager came out and
asked:
"When you want to sell this wheat?"
"I dunno," he answered. "One
time's about as good as another—
these days. 'T won't weigh any more
later." he added, with a dry smile.
"Wheat shrinks a lot," admitted the
manager. "I hear the Government
wants as much wheat as it can get
just now—understand the Allies do
eat a terrible lot of it since the war."
"What's wheat to-day?" asked Col.
Jenkins, getting interested.
"Well, let me see," parleyed the
manager. "I guess this wheat'd be a
good No. 2 under the new grades."
"Grades? What about graded? That
Food Administration seems to mix Into
mighty nigh everything from rabbits
to axle grease."
"Hold on, Colonel," said the eleva-
tor man, good-naturedly. "The Food
Administration Is not to blame. Con-
gress passed the act and told the De-
partment of Agriculture to fix the
grades. They became effective last
July. 1 sent out a letter on It."
"Well, I guess you better sell for
the best you can," said the farmer.
"1 atn needed at home." And he drove
away.
A New Order In the Grain World.
■T|TV1 ONVERSATIONS of this
r aJ k11"' n''sbt have taken
place In almost every
i town in the great grain
belt of the Nation aft-
™ er August 10; for revo-
lution In grain market-
ing was taking place. Uucle Sam
had started on this remarkable ex-
periment; he was going to see wheth-
er wheat could be marketed minus
rake-olfs to the speculators. This
necessitated complete control by the
Government of storage facilities, trans-
portation and distributive agencies,
and the marketing machinery for
wheat and rye.
Everybody was troubled; most of
all, the officials of the Food Adminis-
tration Grain Corporation who had
undertaken, without salary, and at the
sacrifice of their personal connection
with the grain trade, to wnip into
shape the forces that would drive for-
ward the big business machine for
marketing American wheat. A single
control; and a $50,000,000 nonprofit-
making corporation to do the work.
This work is a necessary arm of the
Food Administration, allowing the
Government to do business quickly
and without red tape. Its stock Is held
In trust by the President of the Unit-
ed States. For the time of the war It
will supervise the rate or purchase
the part commercially available of the
0(50.000,000 bushels of wheat and the
50,000,000 surplus of rye grown In
America in 1917. Its job is to find a
market for every bushel, irrespective
of class and grade. Under its patron-
age, wheat screenings are moving just
as easily as No. 1 Northern. It must
also work out satisfactorily the local
prices for wheat at each of almost
20,000 country elevator points, adjust
thousands of, complaints, organize the
gathering and analysis of date, Inspect
roncerns reported as dealing unfairly,
solve vexatious disagreements among
the trade, lifld Jeal effectively with the
nllles' purchasing agent and the neu-
trals who may desire to purchase.
In the eai'ly days, following the de- I
termination of prices for 1917 wheat
by the President's Fair Price Commis-
sion, confusion existed In every part of j
ti e wheat-produelnt' rnglom. This was
Intensified by t*ie Ihftuguratlon of the
new grain grades, as promulgated by
the Department of Agriculture, which
took place about the same time, nnrt
led ..) diverse complaints and a feel-
ing among farmers that the Grain Cor-
poration of the Food Administration

telermlned and stricter observance nf
rain -oiides But the corporation was
<r>:■ oncihle for neither act. It is pure, j
iy an administrative arm of the Gov
ernment formed to buy grain or super,
viae ita sale at the prices determine*
by the commission, and it muat do ita
work on the basis of the new grades.
But to return to our farmer and hi
expectations of price.
Introducing Two Bushels if Wheat
Lying side by side In his wagon had
been 2 bushels of wheat that fate had*
marked for strangely different ends.
They were very much alike, those
bushels of wheat, and to 'ook at them
you would not have suspected the
strange and wonderful adventures in
store for them. Yet one was destined
fo travel abroad for consumption In
France; the other to find Its way into
Oeorgia. where It was milled and Its
flour finally reached a New York
baker on the East Side, But In tha
sum of the travels made by the two,
as we shall follow them, will he un-
folded the International panorama of
wheat marketing in 'line of war.
Finding a Price at a Country Point.
High war costs of production gave
our Missouri farmer much concern as
to his returns and accounted for his
depression over the prospects of his
wheat "grading down"; for that meant
a reduction of 3 cents per bushel utis
der the No. 1 grade. But it graded
No. 2.
The elevator would also deduct r.ti
additional 5 cents n bushel to cover the
fixed charge made In this locality for
handling and selling. The 5-cent
charge included the commission of I
cent per bushel customary jn 1917'
among commission men for selling the
wheat to domestic millers or foreiga
buyers.
The elevator man was none too sura
as to how to get at the price which
this wheat should bring. He knew
considerably more about human nature
than freight rates and decided to
"check up" the problem to the feltrest
zone agent of the Grain Corporation.
So he wrote a letter to the representa-
tive stationed at St. Louis. That let-
ter was referred to the traffic expert
In the New York office, who transmit-
ted the following rule for determining
the price of wheat at suy country
point:
There is only one price for wheat at
a country point. That price is always
to be arrived at by taking as a basis
the price at the most advantageous
primary market where we have fixed
a price and deducting the freight to
that market and a fair handling proft.
That is the price to be paid for wheat
at any station, regardless of the point
to which it may be shipped.
Working out the price which should
be paid for wheat at your station Is
a fine occupation for an off day. If
you cannot find the answer, vrite to
the Food Administration Grain Cor-
poration In New York City and Its
traffic expert will give you aid.
Finding the Price of No. 2 Wheat at
Sikeston.
AK10 an actual example:
An elevator man In
Sikeston, Mo„ wanted
to know what price
No. 2 wheat should
bring at his station
when No. 1 frheat
at New York City was $2.28 per bush-
el. Here Is how he went about It: 1
The freight rate from Sikeston to
New York being 10.98 cents per bush-
el, he deducted that from $2.28 per
bushel and found the price at Sikeston
to be $2.1102. From this he deducted
1 per cent per bushel for the commis-
sion firm's charges, which put the net
price f. o. b. Ilkeston at $2.1002.
He next compared this price with
what he could get if he sold at St.
Louis, his neal st primary market. At
St. Louis the basic price is $2.18 per
bushel, and the freight rate from
Sikeston to St. Louis 6 cents per bush-
el. This would make the Sikeston
price $2.12, less 1 cent per bushel for
selling charges, or $2.11 net. The St
Louis price w ould therefore govern,
being advantageous to the Sikeston
seller.
If our Imaginary 2 bushels of wheat
had started from Sikeston, since It was
a No. 2 grade, we must deduct 3 cents
per bushel, which would bring the
price f. o. b. the elevator point to
$2.0802 per bushel. As our Imaginary
elevator man Is charging 5 cents per
bushel for handling, which includes
the commission fee just mentioned, we
deduct an adrl!1 ional 4 cents to arrive
at the price tin farmer received. This
price would be *2.0-402 at the elevator.
Some of that 4 rents will return to our
farmer If the e'evator prospers; for It
Is owned co-op 'atlvely.
When Farmer and Elevator Man Dis-
agree.
Had this elevator been owned by pri-
vate firm or person, or had It been a
"line" plant, Col. Jenkins would not
hare been so bland and trustful.
He might have refused to sell at all
and arranged to store his wheat or he
Might have taken It over to a com-
petitive concern which offered a high-
er price; for the Food Administration
has not yet attempted to regulate the
prices paid farmers for wheat at coun-
try points. It does, however, offer to
sell for any farmer or farmers' organ-
ization wheat offered at terminal
points, ^ut makes a commission charge
of 1 per cent for Its services.
