WANTS $50 PER
ACRE FOR CROP
ANDREW GRONLUND ASKS THIS
PRICE FROM THE GREAT
NORTHERN ROAD

Bowbells, N. D., Aug 24.-Andrew
Gronlund of south of the city holds
his crop at $50 per acre, and will not
sell it to the Great Northern Railway
Co. for any less. He is willing to sell
his land to the railway company for
about the same price as is being paid
his neighbors, but he considers his
crop worth $50 per acre. The right
of-way man has been paying all farm
ers SIS per acre for grain crops
through which the road will be con-
structed in addition to the price OF
the land, but is unable to get Mr..
Gronlund to come down any on his
price.
Most people will think that $50
is altogether too much to pay for
each acre Of any standing grain, and
naturally smile comes to their faces
when they hear what Mr.. Gronlund is
holding his grain at. On the other
hand to talk with Mr.. Gronlund and
learn his side of the story, many will
feel that he is justified in asking the
price. Last spring Mr.. G. bought
a quantity of seed oats for $3.50 per
bushel, which were guaranteed to
produced larger crop than other seed
oats on the market. He seeded the
grain in ground that he spent much
time in preparing, and as a result he
has a stand that he feels certain will
20 100 bushels to the acre. The grain
stands about four feet high and is as
thick as it can stand. During the
past month or more he took orders
from different farmers for this grain
after it was threshed and has already
sold about all he can spare for $1.5O
per bushel. At this rate the crop is
worth to him $3.50 per acre if it yields
100 bushels to the acre. Even after
deducting the expense Of cutting,
stacking and threshing he would real
ize a great deal more than $50 per
acre.
G.. L. Scott, the right-of-way man,
states that the crop is not worth $50
an acre to the railroad company, and
that grading on Mr.. Gronlund's land
would be deferred until he had his
oats cut. @.s s.: .H

ROOSEVELT AND
LONGWORTH ROW
COLONEL ORDERS AN OPPOS1-
TION CANDIDATE PUT IN
FIELD AGAINST HIM

eressman Nick Longworth is to have
opposition in the First congressional
district. DIR. A. o. Zwick last night
announced his candidacy on the moose
ticket, mad his petitions will be circu-
lated in a day or so.
The orders for some one to run
against Longworth came direct from
Roosevelt. His orders were for some
one, no matter whom, but there must
be candidate, to run against his SON.
in-law. This information was sent to
Walter Brown, the Roosevelt leader in
Ohio. The moose leaders in Hamilton
county were consulted and the result
was the announcement of the candi-
dacy of DIR. Zwick.
Roosevelt opposition to Longworth,
his son-in-law, will come as large
surprise to the Taft leaders in Ham,
ilton county. Longworth has been a
pronounced Taft man, and his loyalty
since the nomination of Roosevelt has
not been questioned. Although chair
man Harry Daugherty, of the regular
committee, has applied the acid test
to all republican candidates for con-
gress, he did not ask Nick to step for
ward and face the music.
In fact, Mr.. Daugherty did not even
call on Longworth when he visited
Washington a few days ago, thereby
relieving Nick of the embarrassing
position of talking politics, or being
compelled to declare himself for Taft
or his father-in-law.
Roosevelt's action in declaring for
candidate against his son-in-law is
looked upon by the Taft leaders as a
break between Longworth and Roose-
velt. 1t is said that Longworh, hav-
ing declared for Taft. has refused to
recede from that position, although it
is said he has been requested to do so
by Roosevelt His refusal to droi7 Taft
and come out for his father-ia-law nc
doubt caused the break, and tue re-
suit was Roosevelt's order to run a
candidate against him. "
DR.. Zwick, the moose candidate, is
an ardent follower Of Roosevelt. He
ran for delegate to the Chicago con-
vention, and although defeated, re-
ceived more than 1000 votes. He is a
very eminent physician.

PRICE OF EGGS
SCARS SKYWARD
Huckster Loses Eight Dozen
at the City Market Last
Saturday.

With eggs selling at twenty-seven
cents a dozen. there vas a j~ustifable
reason for the outcry raised by a buck
ster at the city market Saturday ev-
ening when his sister stepped into a
basket of the costly produce and
smashed eight dozen.
The huckster saw a handsome profit
destroyed. Housewives who saw the
mishap wished they had the eggs in
their pantries and cellars.
Eggs took another jump in price last
week, and dealers say they do not
know when the upward tendency will
stop. Grocers were receiving twenty
eight cents a dozen for eggs today.
1t Is said by produce men that big
dealers are trying to corner the mar
ket and that eggs will sell for sixty
cents a dozen this winter. Buyers for
dairy and egg brokers are purchasing
heavily through the country grocery
stores. Thousands of crates of eggs
are placed in cold storage every week.
Richmond housewives are expected
to boycott eggs and serve other dish
es. When butter reached a prohibitive
figure last winter housewives through
out the country began to cut down on
their use Of the product and the price
of butter soon fell. This course may be
adopted here.

AND SCADS Of
LITERARY AMMUNITION

more than $1,000 acres. From all of
which it is easy to be seen that the
output of the government printing Of
flee during a campaign year is stupen-
dous.
Thus it is that the printing Office is
running night and day-and thus it is
that the 1000 employees in this, the
largest printing shop in the world,
have turned for the present from the
publication to any great exent of plac-
id farmers bulletins for the Depart
ment of Agriculture and are working
during every hour of the day upon doc
uments of militant politics with an
energy that shines forth from amid
the somnolent holdings of the city's
other full activities like a diamond
from a bed of clay. This increased &C
tivity will, say the officials of the
printing Office, continue to grow as the
campaign grows more fervid, reaching
its greatest height early in October
and it's minimum during the first week
in November.

LIVE STOCK TRAIN
HERE WEDNESDAY
Purdue Experts Will Lecture
on Beef Cattle Feeding
Bring Live Stock.

This week will mark the Inaugural
ton of a new movement for better
live stock in Indiana. Arrangements
have been completed with the Penn
sylvania railroad to operate a live
stock improvement train through the
northern part of the state. The train
will stop at Richmond Wednesday
evening. and a demonstration of stock
will be held at the corner of North
Ninth and A streets, followed by a lee
ture in the Commercial club rooms.
The plan of the Purdue university
experiment station is to disseminate
the best information on live stock pos
sible. The animal husbandry depart
ment has. perhaps. carried on more ex-
tensive experiments on ~beef-cattle
feeding any other department in the
country. The results of this work
will be presented by the live stock car
ried and by the lecture hat follows.
Specimen feeding steers will be car
ried and exhibited on this train and
exhibited at each stop. With the high
price Of feeding cattle and the high
price of feed, it is important that every
one engaged in this business use the
most up-to-date methods in his feeding
operations. A full discussion of cattle
and hog feeding in all of its phases
will be given in the lectures. A hort
discussion will also be given on the
selection of the type of feeders.
