FOOD PRICES
AND THE ELECTIONS

necessaries of life. 1t is forcing itself upon Congress and State
legislatures and giving profound concern to politicians. In diff
ferent cities large organizations of consumers are being formed
TO abstain from meat, in order to bring the meat barons to terms.
But meat is only one of the necessares, and all prices are exces-
sively high and are rising. The natural inclination is to blame
heAovernment, for it is obvious that the great advance in prices
= artificial. The abundant harvests last year demonstrate that
yet conclusively. There is talk of long winded Investigation, which
might be prolonged a year or two, and without result, prices mean
while being maintained at almost p~rohibnive figures. If there is a
remedy it must be quickly found. The food question cannot wait
the slow processes OF a congressional investigation, at least not in
a year when a new Congress is to be elected. 1t cannot be shunted
aside by any other issue, and it cannot be befogged. The man who
is paying for his necessaries from 10 to 80 per cent. more than he
ought to pay can't be argued out of the logic of his daily expert
ence. If there is not a big drop in prices this year there will be a
big drop in the November elections

have in Essex county. After the
last snowfall it was announced
there would be no effort to clear it
off the lakes, because it had "eaten

lakes were cleared and it was found
the snow hadn't bitten a single
chunk out of the ice.

OAK grove MAY
Be PURCHASED
NEW SITE FOR CITY PACK CON-
SIDERED AT CITY COUNCIL
PURCHASE REFERRED TO sPE-
cIAL COMMITTEE TO BE NAMED
BY MAYOR.

The question OF the purchase of a.
portion Of the Oak Grove addition to
be used as city park was considered
at the meeting Of the city council last
night. The site proposed for the new
park is at the present time owned by
the First National bank and E. s.
Tyler. The two owners value their
holdings at $4,000 and $2,750 re-
spectively. The council referred the
matter to a special committee to be
named by the mayor at later date to
secure options on the lots contained in
the two plats and the city attorney was
authorized to prepare an ordinance to
provide for the appropriation Of the
necessary funds for the acquisition of
the PROPOSED new park.
In connection with this matter, City
Attorney Shure was also authorized
to negotiate with the officials of the
Northern Pacific railroad regarding
the rental Of a strip of ground eight
feet in width extending along Front
street between Thirteenth and Seven
teenth streets. 1t is the desire of the
city to acquire this land to use for the
construction of sewer and water
mains.

ASK FOR OFFICE

TIoNs CITY COUNCIL FOR USE
OF ROOM PROVIDED BY CITY IN
CITY HALL-WAs REFERREDTo
THE BUILDING COMMITTEE.

The Associated Charities Of Fargo
has requested the city council to grant
that organization the use of a room
in the city hall for ofice use where
a general headquarters of the society
may be maintained without charge
and under the direct supervision OF
the city officials. At the regular meet.
ing Of the city council last night the
petition was formally presented by
Mayor Lowell who submitted the APP
peal to the approval of the council.
The matter was referred to the build
Ing committee to report at the next
meeting of the council.
In many cities of the country the
Associated Charities occupies an Office
in the municipal building and is oper-
ated under the supervision of the city
officials along with other departments
Of the municipal government. It was
suggested by the mayor that the gdop-
ion Of such plan in Fargo would be
appropriate and in keeping with the
progress of the city provided that such
a room could be found available in the
city hall at the present time.
The only room now unoccupied is
that which has rightfully been desig-
mated as the Office Of the mayor, but
which has not been used for that pur-
pose during the present city admins.
tration, due to the fact that Mayor
Lowell preferred to continue in his
own office.
This Office was used by Judge H. F.
Miller as city attorney prior to his
appointment as police magistrate to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death Of the late Judge Ryan, and it's
occupancy Is continued by the police
magistrate until it's designation for
some other purpose. 1t was suggested
by the mayor that this would be the
only room that could be devoted to
the use requested by the Fargo AS
ISOLATED Charities should the council
see fit to grant the petition.

Jones
: IS BEREAVED
FORMER CITY EDITOR OF THE.
FORUM ARRIVES TO BE AT BED
SIDE or FIANcEE IN SEVERE
nLNEss-DID NOT KNOW THAT
SHE HAD PASSED WAY.

- Chester Jones, who was formerly
city editor of The Forum, but who now
occupies a similar position in The
Tribune Office at Great Falls, Mont,
was, in the. city last night on his way
to Fergus Falls, Mimi, where his
fiancee passed away On Sunday. Mr..
Jones did not know and no one, here
had the heart to tell him that Miss
Fay Woodhouse, his intended wife, had
died.
He received a telegram on Sunday
morning apprising him of her danger
Gus illness, and he left at once for her
home The Forum of yesterday gave
an account of the young lady's death.
Concerning her heath The Fergus
Falls Journal of last evening contains
the following:
Miss Woodhotse. was to have been
married during the third week in
August to Chester Jones, city editor
of The Great Falls, Mont. Tribune
and she had been looking forward with
eager anticipation to. this happy event.
Cniy few days ago she had written
to two of her cousins who had been
particular friends during childhood
and now successful business men in
Iowa and Wisconsin, inviting them to
the wedding and on Saturday she re-
ceiyed replies-beautiful letters in
which they expressed their own JOY
in her happiness and their pleasure in
accepting the invitation.
1t was her fathers sad duty on the
following day to notify them of the
time of the funeral-not the wedding;
that despair had superseded hope-that
bridal roses were to be replaced by
the cypress, the myrtle and rue Mr..
Jones viii arrive from Montana to-
day to attend the funeral; he was to
have come in a few days to prepare
for the happier event.
i The death of Miss Woodhouse has
left an aching void in a beautiful
family circle. AS the years roll on.
time may heal the more poignant
grief and sorrow, but the beautiful
life and beautiful character will
never be forgotten. She was a devot-
ed member of the Episcopal church,
choosing that denomination of her own
yolition when little child, and liy-
ing in accordance with its precepts
and teachings. She will be missed

was one of the sweetest and most
touching, and in the active social work

JULY HOT, DRY
and SUNSHTNY
ONLY ONE JULY WAS HOTTER
tgtEg. - e s q
AND NONE HAS EVER BEEN SO
DRY-THERE WAS MORE SUM
SHINE THAN EVER KNOWN BE-
FORE IN ONE MONTH.

July was as hot and dry as June.
In the history Of the weather bureau
there have never been two such torrid
and arid months. in succession June
broke all records and there was never
but one July hotter than the past one.
That was in 1901 when the tempera-
ture was a degree higher. The daily
average for July was II degrees. The
average for the month is 6S.7. This
makes the daily excess 2.3 over the
thirty year average for July.
The hottest day of the; past month
was July; 15, when 98 degrees was re-
corded. There were nine other days
the temperature was 80 degrees or
higher. There were twenty-eight days
in the month the temperature was 80
degrees or higher, the maximum aver
age for the month being Sc degrees.
The entire year has been an excep-
tionally warm one and the daily aver
age excess temperature has been 4.S
degrees ~. a. 49,.
While the, weather was hot 1t also
broke all records for drouth. During
the thirty years since the station was
established thes past month was, the
only one in which the rainfall was less
than an Iinchz--the amount being .83.
The average precipitation for all aJulys
has been 3.74 The amount that fell
was only about ~ per cent of the nor
NAL. The heaviest, precipitation for
any July was over 5 inches In 1897.
In 1901 it was almost inches and in
1894sit was. over. Z inches.
. One. of the. most startling features
of the drouth is the fact that this part
of North Dakota is short $50 inches,
practically 10 inches, less than the nor
NAL precipitation OF the first seven
months in the. year. .~ g. ......
Twenty -four; of the July days were
