The American Sooiety of Equity
of Indianapolis has issued a bulletin
to the farmers of the United States
demanding an increase in the prioe
of wheat, arguing that the minimum
price' of wheat should be $1 a bush

high cost of production, owing to
the high prices for most other com
modities, $1 at Chicago is only an
equitable price for wheat.
It may be heresy, but I would like
