THE
WHEAT
SITUATION
It
is
claimed
in
Eastern
Canada
that
up
to
date
90,000,-00
bushels
of
wheat
have
been
exported
this
crop-year
and
that
there
is
still
something
like
150,000,000
bushels
yet
to
be
exported
leaving
a
normal
hold-over
of
approximately
50,000,000
bushels.
All
this
will
have
to
be
sent
out
in
five
months
or
about
8,000,000
bushels
a
week.
About
half
oi
it
is
pool
wheat
and
the
other
half
is
in
the
hands
of
dealers,
the
farmers
having
received
the
full
price.
It
is
probable
too
that
pool
farmers
will
not
have
much
more
money
coming
to
them
or
very
little
as
they
have
already
been
paid
at
the
rate
of
$1.00
a
bushel
for
Number
1
Northern
at
Fort
William.
Should
the
price
drop
to
a
dollar
at
Fort
William,
the
equity
of
the
farmers
is
wholly
wiped
out.
FARMERS
LOST
OUT
When
a
dealer
buys
wheat
from
the
farmers
and
holds
it
for
a
possible
rise
he
is
a
speculator
and
stands
to
win
or
loae.
This
year
he
lost.
The
farmer
who
sold
at
once
got
a
higher
price
for
his
product
than
he
would
if
he
had
held
the
grain.
The
pool
farmers
speculate
on
their
own
wheat
and
this
year
they
lost.
In
the
fall
thev
could
have
secured
a
higher
price
than
they
are
being
paid
today.
They
speculated
on
a
rise
and
the
price
went
down,
so
they
lost.
That
is
where
co-operation
failed.
The
farmer
who
sold
independent
of
the
pool
made
money
as
compared
with
'the
pool
larmer.

To

the
pool
next

one
oi
tnose
subjects
on
which
it
is
not
safe
to
prophesy.
The
pool
is
spending
a
lot
of
money
circularizing
the
farmers
and
others
in
order
to
keep
their
side
of
the
question
before
them
but
circulars
do
not
count
for
much
when
the
cash
is
not
forthcoming.
The

of
the
pool
today
would
be
a
rise
in

of
wheat
but
there

at

no

of
Scott.
On
the
one
hand,
It
is
stated
that
he
was
sentenced
for
some
trifling
insubordination;
others
say
that
the
prisoner
had
threatened
the
life
of
Riel.
Four
years
after
Scott's
death,
Riel
himself
made
the
terse
comment
in
The
Manitoba
Free
Press:
"Scott
was
executed
because
it
was
necessary
for
the
triumph
of
order
and
the
performance
of
our
duty
In

It

In

TIKPITZ
IS
DEAD
(Continued

At
20
he
was
a
lieutenant
and
four
years
later
a
commander.
His
advancements
continued
in
rapid
succession.
By
1890
he
had
become
chief
of
staff
of
the
Baltic
station
of
the
Imperial
German
Navy
and
from
1893
to
1898
he
was
acting
chief
of1
staff
of
the
higher
command
of
the
navy.
The
next
year
he
was
given
command
of
the
cruiser
division
in
the
east
Asiatic
waters.
It
was
In
1397
that
von
Tirpltz
also
assumed
the
post
of
Secretary
of
State
for
the
Imperial
Navy,
serving
as
such
until
his
rupture
with
the
kaiser
In
1916,
when
he
resigned.
Although
the
creation
of
the
pre-war
German
navy
general
ly
is
attributed
to
the
former
kaiser,
It
really
was
von

was
the
Instigator
and
organizer
of
It.
Von

to
the
rank

In

and
four
years
later

1907
was

the
order
of

Black
Eagle,
the
highest
honor
to
be
conferred
In
Imptilal
Germany.
His
final
honor
came
In
1911.
when
he
was
given
the
rank
of
grand
admiral.
After
his
resignation
from
the
irj,
von
Tirpltz
continued
his
public
activities
as
a
Reichstag
deputy
of
the
Nationalist
party,
of
which
he
was
made
honorary
chairman.
As
such
he
was
one
of
those
who
persuaded
the
unwilling
Marshal
von
Hindenburg
to

a

.for.
the

of

We

that

than

might
suppose,
despite
his
absence
of
several
years
from

however,
the

there
are
other

about
Jack.
Reddy
Mason,
whe
managed
the
late
Harry
Orel
while
he
held
the
middleweigh
championship
of
the
world,
wa-
asked
recently
what
he
thought
oi
Jack
Dempsey
as
a
fighter.
"Dempsey
was
the
most
over-rated
heavy
weight
champion
I
ever
saw,"
Ma
son
replied.
"Oreb
would
have
outpointed
him
in
10
rounds
as
easil;
as
Tunney
did.
You
have
to
giv
Tunney
credit
for
sizing
up
Demp
aey
correctly
as
far
back
as
1925.
remember
one
day
during
the
woric
series
in
Pittsburgh
that
year
hear
ing
Tunney
say
that
he
could
bea'
Jack
if
the
chance
ever
presentee
itself,
and
he
did."
