Other people who have always used less sugar per head than ourselves have used still less this year in order to sell us at high prices. The sugar situation illustrates very well how speculation which goes beyond proper provisions for the future defeats itself. The American sugar industry is not to blame for the situation. EnJOY that feeling of satisfaction that comes from doing business with a Guaranteed Bank. THOMAS ARNOLDY Miss Mayme Thomas of Hunter and Mrs.

Leo Arnoldy of Tipton, werb united in marriage in the St. Peter and Paul church at Cawkor City on Thursday, October 14th, at 9 o'clock in the morning.

-AT YOUR SERVICE FARMER AND PRICE OF WHEAT "The Kansas wheat grower feels keenly the manipulation of wheat prices by the Board of Trade and the effect of millions of bushels of Canadian wheat coming into the United States, as well as the cold indiffer. ence of the Department of Justice at this critical time relative to the farmers interest," according to A. Q. Miller, Director of Publicity 'of the Republican State Committee. "Between the manipulation of the wheat gamblers at Chicago, and the flow of millions of bushels of Canadian wheat into this country free of duty and the failure of the Attorney Department at Washington to act, conditions for the wheat grower have become bo serious," says Mr.

Miller, "that Governor Allen wired President Wilson asking him to investigate not only the importation of Canadian wheat, but also to investigate the methods of the wheat gamblers on the Chicago Board of Trade. Thus far no action the part of Government to relieve the situation has been forthcoming." "The Canadian wheat crop this year is 225,000,000 bushels. The financial situation with the British Empire makes a tight money market in both Canada and the British Isles. The Canadian bankers are urging the farmers to convert their grain into money to strengthen the financial situation, with the result they are dumping it onto the American market free of duty, on account of the Democratic Underwood free trade tariff law, at a price from five to fifteen cents helow the price in the United States.

In the Victor vicinity the bottom fell out of a passing cloud and gave them about three inches of rain in a very short time wetting the ground down as far as it waj plowed. This rain was very welcome in this part of the country as some of the wheat planted had never sprouted before and will put it in fine shape for fall.

Another slow easy rain began falling about midnight Wednesday night and continued until Thursday forenoon which leaves the ground thoroughly soaked. W. F. Dunckley, Vice-President Zella Van Leewen' Ass't. Cashier Wm.
