SAYS ASSOCIATION
FIXES GRAIN PRICE
Sioux City Shovel" Man Ac-
cuses Iowa Grain Dealers
Organization. "

Omaha, Oct. 25.-The hearing on
grain trade conditions, before Commits
s1oners Clark and Lane was resumed
today. E. P. Peck, an Omaha grain
dealer, told of the methods Of arrang
ing prices year or two ago during the
life Of the Nebraska Grain Dealers
association, but said no agreement of
that kind now exists. He said he re-
garded "shovel houses' as unfair COM
petition and used all means to drive
them out Of business.
G. G. Crittenden of the Central Grain
company, Lincoln, Neb., said his COM
pany operated elevators on the Burling-
ton line. They received from that line
an allowance Of IA cent hundred
pounds to cover elevation charges, un-
til last summer, when it, was discon-
tinuedt q He knew Of no "shovel
houses '.Sin his territory. ...-
Accuses Iowa Association.
F. M. Terry, genera1 merchant Of
Little Sioux, Iowa, who operates a
"shovel house, said he was formerly
Disseminated against by the North
Western railway. For the last two
years he has had no reason for COM
plaint. The Missouri Valley mill at
Missouri Valley, Iowa, he said, refuses
to buy his grain, giving as a reason
that if it did buy from him the Up
dixie Grain company of Omaha would
not sell it grain, and would bid up the
price.
Millers at Marshalltown, Iowa, also
refused to buy his grain, he said, be.
cause he had no elevator and was not
member of the Iowa Grain Dealers
association. Mr.. Terry said he received
letter from President Wells of the
Iowa Grain Dealers association some
time ago, from which he learned that
the association fixes prices paid for
grain and provides for pooling by its
members V~">S ~'-'-' "~''' H't7@>9 g. q

Senator Clapp held the audience
spellbound by his eloquent and earnest

many votes in this section. He, too,
took rap at the governors claim
of divorcing politics from education.

Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, Oct. 25.-The Miller
Brewing com pany of Milwaukee is
about to erect three new BUILDINGS, the
cost of which will total more than a
half million dollars. The principal
buildings Of the three will be an i'm
mense refrigerator plant that will be
equipped in the most modern and scien-
tifc manner. It will be constructed Of
iron and stone and will contain the very
latest ice machinery, piping and COOP
erage. This building alone will cost,
it is said, $4,000.
Work will soon begin on the new
bottling house for the exclusive bot
tling Of the celebrate "High Life"
beer. The enormous advertising cam
paign recently conducted thruout the
country by the Miller Brewing COM
pany has Increased it's sales to such an
extent that the present botting 7facili-
ties are entirely inadequate, and in
consequence the brewery has found
some difficulty in taking care of all it's
| business promptly. Another improve-
ment is the erection of large wash
house, which will have cement floors
and be equipped with up-to-date ma
chinery.
The new sidetracks that are being
built to the brewery by the various
railroads will place the shipping facili-
ties in keeping with the other improve.

THE WRAPPER MUST GO
Club Women Inveigh Against It-Many
= Interesting Discussions.


BY Staff Correspondent. ''*-
- Winona, Mimi, Oct. 25.-The wrap
per, that garment so dear to femininity,
must go! It is an abomination, foe
to trimness and neatness and several
other things.
Mrs. Margaret J. Blair Of the state
agricultural school, in her talk before
the state federation today, would not
even say kind things Of the kimono
except for invalids. Z
m mGiven the ;,e girl 7i and + the III home, the
old.fashioned idea that does not come
| to Mrs. Blair. "Genius for home-mak,
ing will educate itself, and genius is
not born into every household, not even
a genius for housekeeping, much less
home-making. A girl finds that, as
homemaker her sphere is not a narrow
one, rather is it as broad as she wills
it to be.' She must know how to
| choose the site of her home, to build
and decorate the house as well as to
blow to the wrapper. Decorations and
furnishings should be free of emotion,
and a well-educated girl knows that
restless curves in the wall decorations
and pictures Of battles and wrecks con-
spire against rest for brain and nerves.
~"In a very real sense the science of
home-making belongs to the higher ed
| ucation for women, and the day will
surely come when no woman devoid
of housekeeping instinct will. be en-
trusted with the presidency Of a girls

you cannot 60 wrong,' was Mrs.
Blair s final advice. +
f. The College Girl. {
IA good daughter will turn out a
good daughter whether she goes to col
lege or not, tho she will probably turn
out a different sort Of a good daughter
if she goes"
This is the opinion Of Mrs. w. B
Mitchell of st. Cloud, who had a part
in the discussion Of household econom
les this morning, and who does not be-
heve that the college girl is an anoma
ly, but just like other girls Of the same
age, stage and disposition.
fWe must look critically to our owl

Methods Used for Repeal Of the

Condemned. s

Winona, Mimi, Oct. 25.-Minnesota
clubwomen do not like the methods Of
the federal congress and they are 60
ing to tell the pdesident of the United
States about it. Not only are they 60
ing to tell him, but they will send word
to the secretary of the interior, the
chief forester, both houses of congress
and every member Of the Minnesota
legislature.
Mrs. W.. E. Bramhall Of st. Paul, one
OF the chief forestry workers in the
federation, introduced a resolution in
the state convention today condemning
the methods used by the opponents Of
state forest reserves in the repeal of
the. Morris law, and copies of this reso-
luton are to be sent to everybody who
ought to know about it. r.
"A few, persons residing in the vi
cinity Of the reserve, believing thE<
private interests to be iniuriously af-
fected, without publicity or opportun-
ity for consideration or discussion, Sc
cured repeal in the hurry of the last
few, days of the session." The resolu-
tion also further states that the club
women are still in favor of carrying
out the provisions of the Morris law.
Drainage Law Favored. @.
Club women are in favor of state
drainage law, and passed another reso-
luton, at Mrs. Bramhall' 8 suggestion,

Result of the Investigation. ,,

the members '3r Of the league have had
from II the governor on the subject. The
:, secret investigation was heard
from, however, in few days. OF
aug. 10 the governor was stirred from
ms rest by the publication of letter
from Editor A. w.. Blakely of the
Rochester Post and Record, asking
whether Governor johnson had ever
communicated with the railroad com
mission In any way on the subject of
rate reductions The commission re-
pied that he had not. The next day
the governor wrote his letter to the
commission suggesting an arbitrary re-
duct1on, In, grain rates, and the commits
SION called on the governor to explain
that any reduction Without q full hear
ing was impossible under the law.
Ihls was the first and only conference
between the governor and the commits
SION, and. the one which on the stump
ne tells about in such graphic language.
AT the time all parties agreed that it
was very peaceful and harmonious
meeting. - No order Of anv kind vas
round necessary as the roads made the
reduction voluntarily. .
