THREE INCHES
OF RAINFALL

After a couple of days of
cloudy moist weather the flood
gates of heaven were opened
about 3 o’clock Saturday morn-
ing and one of the most gentle
and weleome rains began falliig
that has cheered the heart of the
farmer for some time -
For thirty hours the rain con-
tinued to fall so slow and genthe
that every droD sank deep into
the ground wettmv the soil the
likes of which has not been tor
:Some time There was no wind
thunder or ligbtntng but just
rain such as everyone had been
hoping for -The wind of the
' earlier part of the week - had
made the wheat farmers look
dowA their noses but the rain
has given them that “smile that!
don’t wear off” while it puts the
ground in fine shape to begin the
spring work

soaking snd the sunshine follow-

- All the dollars 'in the world could not buy victory
Because victory is tiot purchasable — we must work for
it and if need be die for it Dollars can work for vic-
tory only in so far as they ate' converted into labor and
materials A dollar boarded is a slacker a dollar wasted
is a traitor a dollar saved is a patriot For a hoarded
dollar represents idle- power a wasted dollar represents
wasted power a dollar invested in the United States
Government represents powers saved labor saved ma-
terials saved— it represents poWer labdr and 'materials

War Savings Stamps Are as
Good as Money and Pay You
4 Compounded Quarterly
Both the money and the stamps are
guaranteed by the richest nation in the world
Suppose we were to lose the war? What
good would money be?
None at all It would be a‘ mere me-
mento of the past And if we bought our
freedom back by indemnity it yvould be at
a price so colossal as to wipe out our sayings
and mortgage our earnings for generations
The safest place for all your money is in
War Savings Stamps " because the money -saved
and raised by War Savings Stamps
will win the war and thus insure the preser-
vation and solvency of our Government and
the safety of our homes
and families forever

VilEAT $205
A price bf $220 a bushel— he
-tame as for last year’s crop — was
fixed by President Wilson for the
oming season’s wheat yield
Tne price for No' 1 northern
soring wheat at Chicago with a
scale of differentials for other
markets -
Defferentials by a sftght extent
Dom those now operative and
range from a minimum of $2 to
a maximum of $228
On the 'basis of No 1 northern
spring wheat and its equivalents
the president fixed the price as
fo lows: s -
Chicago 220 Omaha 215 St
Louis $2 18 1 New ' York'' $2 23
Galveston $210 New Orleans
5220 Ft Worth $2 09 Oklaho-
ma City $205 Wichita $208
In fixing a price now for the
new crop which will not be har-
vested until June the president
was believed to have two objects
in view The first was to halt
egistation p mting in congress
to fix prices as f om $2 25 to $3
and the other n3 to stimulate
spring planting
In a statement accompanying
his proclamation the president
said: " -
“Under the food control act
Sf August 10 1917 it is my duty
to arnounce a guaranteed price
for wheat of the 1918 harvest I
am therefore issuing a proclamsi
(ion setting the price ut the p n
cipal interior primary marlo trj
It makes no essential alteration
in the present guarantee It is
a continuation of - the Dresent
prices of wheat with some ad-
jos merits arising from the des-
ignation of additional terminal '
markets points
“This guaranteed price assures -the
fnrmerof a reasonable profit
even if the war should end with-
in toe year and the large stores
of grain in those sections of the
wond tuat are now cut off fr ni
transportation ahou'd again c(iw
into competition vutii his pro-
ducts ”
