Mc Donald, president of the National Association of Master Bakers, in ad dressing the convention of the organ ization today, suid: "As an artificial stiniiilunt to wheat production, congress proposes to guarantee a minimum price of $2 for the 1918 wheat crop. At the same time congress delegates to t':e farmer the right to hoard farm prod ucts. These are conditions tending to build up excessive bread costs. The fanner, guaranteed n if'2 minimum, may quickly realize flint a smull crop is easier to handle (hnn a large one. A high minimum without a maximum price tends to defeat the thing which the majority of the people nro anx ious to see, namely, n reduction in the high price of wheat. "With a reasonable maximum price the fanner would know that he could not raise a short crop and hoard for an ubnormul price, but would know Hint if he wanted a lot of money lie would have to ruisc a lot of wheat to get it." F T PARIS, Aug. 30. (Correspond once of the Associated Press.) Cap tain Roeckol, one of the oldest In service and one of the most remark able of French military aviators, has just been killed in a flying accident at Vlllacoublay, after risking death a thousand times over the enomy's lines. Captain Roeckel was the creator of the French system of regulating ar tillery fire from airplanes. Among his exploits was the destruction of half of the artillery of the Sixteenth German army corps In the vicinity of Triaucourt, September 8, 1914. ThiB achievement provoked a general note by Marshal Joffre regarding the use of "airplanes of combat." Two days after his success at Tri aucourt, Captain Roeckel, flying at a height of 300 yards, discovered the position of a division of Bavarian Infantry in the region of Vaux Marie, signalled to the artillery, than, got back to camp with his machine rid dled with bullets and shell fragments. When the French infantry advanced and occupied the position, they found 4800 dead Bavarians on the field, all vttfffniiSt 'ot Ihe" Fren'eli ; 3!inct ;Ileld guns. Captain Roeckel had won the cross of the legion of honor and the war cross with six palms for as many citations In the order of the army. A GALLON IN HAVANA HAVANA, Sept. 18.

I t x i f f ? t I I 1 Raising prize cattle and selling fine clothes 'THE spirit that makes winners at the Fair is the desire to do a thing well, whether it's raising grain, stock, or fruit. You put the best you've got into it, not for what you'll get out of it, but because you like it, because you take pride in your work. , It's the same way in business; the winners are the ones who do a thing well because they like it, not primarily for what they are going to get out of it. We are in the clothing business .because we can serve, because we can do something for you, because we want to do something for you, Of course, we expect to get some thing out of it, but that isn't our first thought; our first thought is you. Because we feel that way, we carry Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes. They are all-wool. They wear longer and look better than other clothes. They cost a little more money, but they're really economy in the end. You know it costs a little more money to raise thoroughbred stock, but it brings greater returns in the end. Well, it's the same way with clothes. Hart Schaffner & Marx suits and overcoats $22.50 and up Other suits and overcoats $15.00 and up Come in and look around. We have fine lines of furnishings, working clothes everything you need for the county fair next week. i f t I ? V ' I f I f ! ?! y 1 t ' t ' ! y! t t ! y t i f t t y I f y y f ? ?
