Sa\s George Marcy. Chicago. June 11.—The American! wheat farmer ••will come into his i own” as a result of a wheat crop' shortage in the northwestern hernia \ phere the world over. Oeorge K. Marcy. pres.dent r*f the Armour Ornln company, declared today in « statement. Wheat and rye should command very high price?, he added. “First, the government crop report irdicates not to exceed 100,000.000 bushels available for export the com ! log year.” he said. “The Pacific coast is bound to sell more or less flour to the orient. Pacific coast mills, there ] fere, will not onlv cause a shortage <-n the Pacific coast, hut also will, r*’arh east into Montana. Colorado. Kansas and Nebraska for wheat Texas and southern Oklahoma wheat will move to the gulf anti be sold for export, probably 30,000.000 or 40,000, 000 bushels. Then Virginia. Pennv vania. Maryland and other eastern sec tions will move more or less wheat to the Atlantic seaboard for exj>ort; then comes the durum wheat which Kurope must have, besides the low grade flours which are always sold abroad by the mills. This means that Just the ordinary situation in which even low prices in other countries cut no figure will clean the Vnited States out of all its surplus wheat very promptly. “On top of this, probably the Amer ican farm co operative w heat pools | were never so strong a? they are today and all of their influence will be exerted to hold their wheat for good prices which can be obtained easily provided these farm outfits work together which they no doubt will do. With the 4? cents duty pro tection, it means that the farmers will be able to put wheat and rye prices very high.” FIREMEN GIVEN REWARD FOR WORK \ check for $25 and the thanks of Thompson.

Cleveland, O., June 11.—A Coolidge platform for Coolidge to run on was adopted by the convention here tonight by the republicans assembled to nominate Coolidge. Every plank as it came from the committee on resolu tions and presented to the delegates for their approval, bore the impress of the White House. The platform pledges the party to take the country into the world court, along the route prescribed by Harding Hughes-Coolidge. but not into the league of nations. Further tax reduction is pledged through tax reform. The creation of a nonpartisan commission to make a comprehensive survey and report of federal and state tax conditions is endorsed. The platform goes into the agricultural situation at length. Federal aid is promised in reorganizing the farm ers’ marketing system. Government aid in broadening export markets is pledged. Adequate tariff protection for the farmers is promised. Under the heading of ‘‘orderly government" the plat form takes cognizance of the Teapot Dome scandal. Speedy, fearless and impartial prosecution of ail ^rong-doers without regard to political affiliations is de manded. The plank construed a? a slap at the Ku Klux Klan was brief and did not, of course, mention the klan by name. It simply said, under the heading of ‘‘constitutional guaran tees.” : “The republican party reaffirms its unyielding devotion to the constitution j^nd to the guarantees of civil, political and religious liberty therein contained.” The plank on railroads contains a declaration against “compulsory action of any kind" in settling railroad dis putes. It also demands improved service at cheaper rates. Rt A«MmJUrd Pr>**. Cleveland.

This was brought out in the speech made by Frank \Y Mondell when he took the chair as permanent chair man and later in the adoption of rules which are to govern the party organization the next four years. Mondell warned the delegate* that party Irregularity in congress was re sponsible for the failure to enact con structive legislation, and «barged them to sec to it that only republicans "in fact as well as in name." are elected to senate and house. This provoked a tremendous outburst of applause from the convention, almost the entire membership of which ts made up of regulars. The delegate* were quick to recognize in Mondell* utterance a sideswipe at the Iai Toi lette group In congress, the farm Noe and other association* of independ ents which have upset the administra tion program. "Let us not forget that our leaders have not had in congress a depend able republican majority." Mondell continued, with marked emphasis on the word "dependable " "I-et us not criticise our leaders for failing to lead where some men calling themselves republicans will not follow l.et us highly resolve to give our leader* in both houses of congress a dependable majority which will put on the statute hooloi enre ful and constructive legislation."
