THE WHEAT SITUATION: I The farmer who thinks there is 1 1 nothing wrong in the present low 1 price of farm products should in- ; vestigate. Our attention has been 1 called to a paragraph from a bulle- ' tin issued by the agricultural de- 1 partment of the United States and | therefore we presume, correct, re-1 carding the wheat situation of the 1 world. It is almost startling to ' learn that prices for wheat in j' Europe are from $1.70 to $1.82 per bushel while in this country the price is below forty cents. The paragraph reads as follows: "Germany has general tariff of 1 $1.62 per bushel on imported wheat and requires millers to use 97 per i cent of domestic wheat, except under a special provision whereby 30 I er cent of foreign wheat may be used when imported at a reduced i tariff rate of $1.16. Eranee has a I minimum tariff rate duty, to which United States wheat is subject, of 8514 cents per bushel and a maximum duty of $1.07% per bushel and permit only 40 per cent of foreign wheat in milling mixtures. The Italian wheat duty is $1.07 per bushel and recently revised milling regulations permit 95 per cent of imported bread wheat to be used in milling in southern districts ami 75 per cent foreign in northern and central areas. During the period Ju’y. 1931. through January. 1932. Italian milters were only allowed to use 5 per cent of imported wheat . tn milling mixtures. The effectiveness of these measures is apparent in prices of good mining native wheat which was quoted May 20th ..t Hamburg at $1.82% per bushel, at Paris at $1.80% and at Milan. Italy at $1.70 per bushel." The Democratic state convention will be held at Indianapolis next Monday and Tuesday and rainy from here plan to attend. They will adopt a platform and nominate a state ticket and then comes the big battle for control of the state.

The leaders are enthusiastic over the outlook for victory and If no mistakes are made they will very probably be In charge of the state the next four years. The public Is looking for leadership of the right kind and will follow loyally. There is a lot of talk about nomi eating Calvin Coolidge’ as vicepresident but the yankee ax-presi-dent is perhaps smiling as he recells the story of the "tail that wagged the dog." Os course there would be nothing wrong alcout ft. You will remember how in the early days a former President became a country justice of the peace and another returned to congress. The Adams county board of review are doing a splendid job of < qualizing taxes and that's not only e tough assignment but a very important one. Every tax payer now has his day in court and If he has objections to his assessments he should appear before these gentleman and state them. The board deserves the sincere assistance of every good citizen in its work. "Today our nation is in the midst ol its most perilous economic crisis," shouted Senator Dickinson in his keynote speech. That’s quite, an admission coming from such a source at Republican national convention and the senator should have gone right on and told what he intended to do about it. It looks like they were trying to slip Vice-President Charlie Curtis and his sister. Mrs. Dollie Ganns, out of a side door. The only trouble is that Dollie insists on talking out loud and don't seem to care about the politics of the thing. Dawes looks like a favorite. And he took a nap once. ———; These are times when we should all support home merchants and keep the dollars at home. When you give your money to a street vender, a peddlar or an agent, its gone for good. Let’s help each liter by being loyal. We all do better and feel better. Eor some peculiar reason the Republicans don’t seem to be able to agree on the prohibition question. There are a hundred different views of how it can be handled best with the idea in view of course of securing the most votes. Opening the twentieth Republican national convention in Chicago, Senator Dickinson referred to the full dinner pail of 1896, opened it wide and found it empty and the delegates cheered twenty minutes. The greatest enthusiasm so far in the G. O. P. convention in Chicago came when the large American flag was unfurled.
