WHEAT HELD And
MONEY IS SLOW
FARMERS ATTITUDE AFFECTS
THE MONEY MARKET
PLEAsES ..nLRoAps.

Minneapolis, Nov, 12.--Farmers OF
the northwest by holding back grain.
have brought about this season a con-
dition wholly unlocked for by the grain
trade or in banking circles. Money has
been affected. Minneapolis shipped
currency into the country at the rate
| OF S5,000,000 per week for short time.
Inc demand has now dropped. The
country Is making only a moderate
requisition and Minneapolis in turn, is
not calling upon Chicago, New York or
Boston for funds When IL was known
In August that the OF the largest grain
crops had been raised I'm Minnesota and
North and South Dakota, fall money
demand Of large proportions was pre-
dlcted. Railroads looked for an over
burdening grain tonnage and feared
CONGESTION, and the grain trade expect
ed the Minneapolis elevators to All nm
rapidly. This has not happened. Far
mers are holding the grain. They are
hlled with the idea Of higher prices.
There Is no shortage Of grain here 20
call for money accommodation with
which to pay producers Instead OF
borrowing from banks on grain col
lateral storage and the money in the
pockets Of the farmers, situation TODAY
presents the view of thousands OF small
stocks OF grain in storage on the farms.
Notwithstanding the movement in
to Minneapolis since the new crop was
cut of 100000 bushels of grain. the
milling and shipping deman,. has alb
sorbed it. The public elevators OF
Minneapolis have in them today 7,195,-
600 bushels. A year ago there were
24,250,000 bushels.
The Northwestern Miller says those
who have investigated the matter re-
port that never before was there SO
great a number of chattel mortgages.
Largely they represent money bor-
rowed on the wheat that the farmer
has decided to hold. Railroad mana
gers are thangfuI for the condition. IT
means more even distribution Of the
crop marketing over long period
and not such rush at one time. They
have been able to avoid car shortage
and congestion because they have more
equipment available

Although former Secretary Garfield
asserts this series OF addresses has no
direct bearing upon the current con-
troversy over. the alleged breach OF
Roosevelt's conservation programme
1t followed his refusal TO comment up
on the last statement Of Secretary
Baliinger, that he mad not reversed
the Roosevelt Garfield policies" but
that he had done what Mr.. Garfield
himself had DONE"
Il cannot talk of the matter until
have seen the entire statement made
by Mr.. Ballinger, and / have sent to
Washington for such copy" said the
former secretary today.
Il am also having various Withdraw
ais and restrictions checked up. but

Girls, Cultivate
Your Talents
90 NOT THINK CONTINUALLY or
MARRIAGE, AND THE RIGHT
MAN WILL CONE ALONG.

FvERY girl should have an object
in life or some occupation 20
| which she can turn il Mr. Right does
| not come along.
If girls we're trained to have a pro-
fession the same as men one would not
see so many silly girls running after
men at summer resorts and, generally
speaking. making hasty marriages
where they taiz1:t much better have
remained single. .e,t....,.
When q sfrl nss not been trained to
do anything she naturally feels she
must marry and not r.ay at home and
be an old maid. 1t is this feeling as
much as any other that urges girls on
toward matrimony regardless of the
fitness of the men they are trying 60
ensnare
And, indeed, the position of an un-
married girl in a household OF small
means is not a particularly pleasant
one. There is no money TO spend and
much that must be saved The girI
lives in an atmosphere of continual
sewing and patching and petty econo-
my She foolishly thiake to escape a
all by marrying and having home Of
her own, and that is where her trou-
bles begin.
Unless a girl is sure she has mes
the right man. who Is able to support
her and who has the disposition to gel
on In the world and, above all to b.
kind to her and make her life happy
she is very foolish TO let her mind
wander toward mgtrimsny. Better faI
cultivate solne taiesE ind get some
hing out OF life.
The minute N girl cultivateg q talent
ehat Is worth while he Opens the dooK
Il her prison and hreaSrns instead Of
arrows her life.
For by MEANS OF this silent she earn
money, and money means that she doeA
'ot have to slave any more patching
I'd darning and can n'axe a good APP
carance, which is sach a necessary

ost of all, increr ges the girls per-

Gle OF friends, both masculine and
minnie, and meets the right man to
3fry.
low much better this IL than wait
for him to- come and growing older.
pider and less interesting all the
ne, and how much better than MARI

Iris, think less OF marriage and
ore OF your own brains and person
