Paying The Price

In summing up the price of war in the moving down of
lions, The London Chronicle, says:
Russia calls million Sixteenth Century peasants from the
fields and Germany makes them Another million take
thelr place Death again. Another million And yet another
million OF these Sixteenth Century And when
over those who are left will go back to their fields.
But Germany France England particularly England and

American Consumer Safe
While Europe Fights
(John NJ. Oskison in Atlanta Journal.)

as we expect it to be, we can GER
tainly find market for our sur
plus of grain and flour. But out
extra supply 132, 100000 bushels
more than last year, ought to make
up very largely for the shortage
in Russia and Austria Hungary
and Argentina. Talk of shortage
in Europe on account of lack of
harvesters is uninformed-A
sees all wheat out of the fields, ex-
cept in Scotland, Sweden, Norway,
and the north of Russia.
There will be considerable ex-
ira demand for sugar, and the
price will 60 up; but the first spe-
culative rises following the out
break of war were not justified.
France and England will draw
more heavily than usual on the
nom European sources of sugar
supply, and OF course, the consum-
ers of the United States will have
to meet that competition. Germany
is the greatest sugar-producing
nation, and one of the greatest
sugar using nations; England uses
even more than Germany per capt.
ia, and her supply must come from
her colonies, and Cuba, Hawaii,
and the Dutch possessions.
Coffee is not one of the products
of the warning countries; the
worlds supply comes from Brazil,
Central America, Venezuela, Co.
lombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia,
Hayti, Santo Domingo, Mexico,
Porto Rico, Jamaica, British India,
and Dutch East India. AS long as
the coffee ships are barred from
the ports of the warning countries
(as they will be for long time
from those of Germany, the peo-
Pile of the United States ought to
buy coffee cheaper than ever.
We are by far the best customer
of the coffee growers; Germany is
next-her people have been using
it in the proportion of thirty-seven
pounds to our eighty-six. Now we
shall be called upon to take still
more and no doubt price conces-
sions will be made.

Anxiety as to the increase in the
price of flour ia this country due
to an expected abnormal demand
from Europe, fails to take account
of what is actually happening il
the wheat and flour markets OF
the middle west.
In the week ended August Is.
for example, the commercial
agencies reported that western re.
ceipts of wheat amounted to H..
$4,000 bushels, as against 10, 1892,
900 bushels in the same week last
year. In that week, exports from
Atlantic ports amounted to S37,
600 bushels, as against 1851 900
bushels last year. Flour exports
fell off from 1872, 900 barrels last
year to 81 90 barrels.
For the whole year up to date
reported upon by the agencies,
western receipts of wheat were
1885, 900 bushels, against 40, =
$4,000 bushels at the same date
last year. Total exports of wheat,
flour included, the year have fallen
from "a, 305, 466 bushels last year
to 10, 1876, sos bushels this year.
"Actual sales of grain and flour
have been of rather moderate
volume. Little credence is given
to reports from outside points of
heavy flour sales" These two SEN
fences are quoted from Dun's Re-
view of August 10, they refer to
the grain and -four market at Chi
cage.
The truth is that we are harvest.
ing wheat crop estimated to be
900. 100000 bushels. The crop
compares with 763, 900, 900 bushels
last year. Here is an addition to
our supply of 157 200, 900 bushels.
Of last years crop we used for
bread and seed about 625, 900, 900
bushels, sending abroad, as grain
and in the shape of flour, some
1884, 100000 bushels. Suppose we
need this year for our own use
$780, 100000; that will leave us
100000, 900 bushels to export.

to carry our grain exports is solved

Business Mems Meeting

Pursuant to a petition circulat-
ed among the business men and
signed by practically all the mer-
chants of the city, a representative
body met at the City Hall last
night to consider whether to con-
tinue the early closing of the stores
and other matters of interest to
merchants.
Mr.. j. c. Glover was chosen
chairman, and L. H. Simons secre-
tary.
After the reading of the call for
the meeting by the Chairman, an
informal discussion of the early
closing movement developed that
all present were in favor of con-
tinuing to close early fer the pres
ent, at least.
The following motion offered by
Mr.. W. r. Bowen was unanimous
ly adopted.
THAT the hours for opening and
closing business houses be the same
as those in force during the sum-
mer months, to wit: opening at
$50 a. M. and closing at $50 p. m.
except Saturdays when the closing
hour shall be 10 p. m. and railroad
pay days when it shall be 8 p. M.
This agreement shall be in force
until December 1st."
Mr.. Guy G. johnson submitted
a motion that a new agreement be
drafted and same be signed by all
merchants. The motion was adopt
ed, as was a further motion by
Mr.. W. r. Bowen that commit
tee of three be appointed consist
ing of Messrs Sam Abrams, Rob-
erts ard Troupe to circulate same
and secure the signatures.
In an informal discussion by
those present the need of frequent
meetings of the business men of
the city for consideration of mat
tiers affecting their interests was
stressed and suggestion was made
and received favorable attention
that monthly meeting be arrang-
ed for, at which light refreshments
might be served as an added at
traction, and at which matters of
interest to all might be taken up
for discussion, and concerted &C
ton.
Upon motion of Mr.. w. r.
Bowen the meeting adjourned sub.
iect to call of the chairman.

Walt Shaw, the republican candidate
for the Office Of sheriff has the conf
dence of Minot's best citizens. He re-
ceived 627 votes for city commission
er in 1911 out of possible thousand
votes cast. In 1918, the people Of Mi
not again put the seal of approval on
his work by giving him 705 votes out
of the possible thousand votes cast,
and when three others opposed him
for the same Office. The majority Of
Minot's best people vouch for Mr..
Shaw. This recommendation should
mean something to you as to Mr..
Shaw's worth. Don't make mistake
vote for Shaw for sheriff.

With the Candidates,

This is the last week before the pri-
mary election. The Independent has
tried to be fair in the campaign. In
several instances, a number of our
good friends are aspiring to the same
offices and this makes it rather hard
to handle the situation. In such in
stances, we have endeavored to rec
ommend such candidates as we believe
to be the most fitted for the places,
and have tried hard to avoid the usual
mud singing so prevalent in nearly
every campaign.
Knute Hagen, for clerk of court,
seems to be an easy winner. He has
given the county good service and the
Independent can honestly say that we
do not believe this Office has ever been
in more capable hands.
We have recommended Martin En-
geseth for register of deeds because
we know that he is just as capable as
Mr.. Reishus, who has held the office
for about ten years. We have recon-
mended Mr. Murphy for states attor-
ney because we believe him more cap
able of handling this Office than the
present incumbent. VIM. Wendt, for
superintendent of schools; Orson Doe
for coroner; VIM. Murray for county
Judge; L. J. Thompson for auditor, and
Carl Lindberg for county treasurer
have no opposition. They have served
the people faithfully and deserve NOM
nation. We understand that there is
is lively squabble for the sheriff's NOM
nation. Just now it is hard to pick
the winner and no one will know the
result until after the votes are count
ed June "a. s3
The legislative fight is a good one.
There are four candidates to be nomi-
mated. You have read the platforms
of practically all of them and are no
doubt able to choose wisely. The leg
islative candidates are: c. A. Grow,
A. M. Thompson, E. G. Warren and
Colonel Scarlet, of Minot; J. w.
Smith, Surrey; B. A. Dickinson,
Ryder; C. S. Beighle of Sawyer and
Swan Lindgren of Douglas.
There are two county commissioners
to be nominated. Olaf Lokensgard
from the Fifth and Louis Huber from
the Fourth will no doubt be chosen.
The former has no opposition.

B. of L. E. Memorial Services.

The memorial services of the B. of
L. E. were held at the Presbyterian
church Sunday morning, Rev. P. w.
Erickson preaching an interesting and
very appropriate sermon. Thirty
members of the order marched to the
church in a body. The Memorial serv-
ices of this order were held in the
United States, Mexico and Canada that
day, however, owing to the Mexican
trouble, it is doubtful if any such SER
vice was held in that country.

the votes. Warren claims that he will

J OF being frightened when she saw this
strange creature the Princess thought
he was funny-looking and felt sorry for
hin because he was defOrmed.
The green dwarf asked the Princess
to come in and have some refreshments,
which she was glad to do, and his voice
was so soft and sweet the Princess
found herself liking the queer-looking
creature in spite of the fact that he was
a dwarf and of such a strange color.
In fact she did not think about re-
turning home until it was dark, and
then Il was too late, so the dwarf told
her that she would find her apartments
on the opposite side Of the castle, and

When she reached the room where she
was TO sleep the princess wondered at
the beauty of the furnishings, for every

table made the princess curious, and
she pressed II, wondering what would
