GRAINMEN MAKE $2,000,000 OFF

FARMEMjHARGE Secretary Taylor, of State Federation, Alleges Profiteering in Wheat Handling. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 6. Indiana formers are "out" about J2.000.000 on their -wheat crop of some 40.000,000 bushels. This -was the declaration today of officials of ten Indiana Federation of Farmers Associations, in announcing that the Federation Is planning to go after and retrieve the loss. "we are going to get that money, or know the reason why," said Lewis Taylor, general secretary of the Federation, In a statement outlining the situation. "Here Is another case where the farmer, as producer, Is being trimmed on one side, while the public, as consumer, Is being held up for the usual high prices on the ether side. We are going to correct the situation if there Is any way possible to do so. "This. In a nutshell, Is what has happened. The United States Grain Corporation fixed wheat prices as follows: No. 1 red winter wheat, 2.39 per bushel; No. 2, $2.36; and No. 3, $2.32: all prices at New York, or $2.26, $2.23 and $2.19 respectively at Chicago. The farmers do not get these prices. They stand the expense of getting the wheat to market, this expense Including 1S.3 cents per bushel freight charges to New York, where most Indiana wheat goes, and handling charges, which should be about 8 cents per bushel. Deters' "Rake Off" 5 Cents "Indiana farmers selling wheat for New York haw been getting, as a general thing, only $2.11 a bushel at In dianapolis for Just as good wherx as there Js in this country. Farmers selling for Chicago have been getting only $2.05 or thereabouts for No 1 wheat. These figures show that deal ers are getting, roughly, 13.2 cents per bushel for handling wheat. Our con tention Is, that is 5 cents too much, and on a ' wheat crop of 40,000.000 bushels Indiana farmers are lo3ing about 12,000,000. "We believe that when the prices were fixed It was Intended that the producers should receive their fair share, but we are convincad that such has not been the result. Dealers have taken an avsraga of about five cents a bushel mere than they are properly entitled to receive. Tho putlio has not benefited one cert, while we have been trimmed five cents a bushel on our wheat, because flour prices are based on tbe standard flied prices, and not on the price paid to ua farmers. Here Is one of the kinds of profiteering that will have to be eliminated before there can be much reduction in the high cost of living." Hope for Refund. Mr. Taylor said that members of the Federation board are now considering ptens whereby they hope to force a refund, or rather an added payment, on wheat sold at $2.11 for New York, flnd $2.05 for Chicago. They believe thoy ce.n establish the fact that handling charges have been agreed on by Ir.oi&ra grain dealers and made uniform, to the detriment of the farming interest. They also declare they can show that the prices they have been receiving are by no means fair reflections of the New York and Chicago. The Federation's files contain numerous cases reported by farmers throughout the state, from Crown Point to Rockport, showing unfair treatment Indiana dealers, according to Federation officials, are taking about five cents a bushel in profit to which they are not entitled. Attention Is being called by the Federation to another method in which the producer is trimmed while the consumer goes ahead paying high prices. Wheat that has been shriveled by the heat has b.een bringing the farmer about $1.75, and then used In making the best patent flours which in turn sell at prices based on the $2.39 wheat price. Federation leaders are planning action to stop this sort of thing, they say. Ohio News Flash es COLUMBUS Upon the ultimatum of Mayor George J. Karb, that "the street cars of Columbus must be run ning again tomorrow," strikers and representatives of the Columbus railway Power and Light company met in the mayor s office.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU START LIFE OVER? RICHMOND MEN ANSWER

If you could start again, say at the age of 21 years, what profession or business would you take up? This question was asked of a number of Richmond business and professional men, including doctors, lawyers, public officials, merchants and ministers. Few would follow their present line of work, tbey said. Judge W. A. Bond, Judge of the Wayne circuit court. Is one of the men of Wayne county who Is satisfied with the profession that he has taken for his life work. "I believe that I would do the same thing over agtdn, if I were given the opportunity, although if I couldn't study law, I think I would rather be an electrical or mechanical engineer, than any other vocation," the Judge said. Whether a physician could serve mankind to a better advantage In any other profession is doubtful. Nevertheless, Dr. I. S. Harold, physician, with offices in Richmond and Indianapolis, claims that he would spend his entire time in the betterment of his fellow man. "If I had the opportunity, I would be a philosophical philanthropist," Dr. Harold said. "I have never found anything better than blowing stumps, as a means of making a livelihood, and if I had It to do over again, that is Just what I would do," is the answer given by Linus Meredith, county clerk, "I would certainly keep at that work, if I had to start at the beginning." Merchant or Manufacturer. . .A banker's life, as a model vocation, does not appeal to E. G. Math ews, vice president of the Second National bank, According to Mathews, the amount of time spent In attaining success in banking, does not bring results large enough to Justify It. "If I had it to do over again," Mathews said, "I would be either a hardware merchant, or would be a manufacturer."

Is the jump that would be made by Rev. L. E. Murray, pastor of the First Christian church. "If I were given an opportunity to live my life over again, I believe that next to the ministry, I would choose the profession of an editor," Rev. Murray said. A retail merchant has a vocation that Is as good as can be found, in the opinion of E. H. Hasemeler, of the Boston store. "I believe that I would do the same thing over again, if given an opportunity to start again," said Hasemeler. "I would like for my son to be a physician, however, as that is a profession that has

always appealed to me." "I don't know what I would be, but I am positive I'd never be a traffic cop, if I had a chance to start again."

TEACHERS LACKING FOR oO.OOO PUPILS

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 6. Approximately 30,000 cilhdren will not be provided with teachers when the schools in Indiana open Monday. L. N. Hlnes, state superintendent of public Instruction, estimates that there will be about 1,000 vacancies in teachers' positions. Every county in the state Is short of teachers, he said. The shortage of teachers has been growing for the last two or three years. ' During the war the bars were thrown down to a certain extent and many former teachers were given positions even though they were somewhat rusty on modern school work. With the close of the war it was believed that conditions would again become normal. It was expected that the return of teachers from more lucrative war work and from the army "P M
