THAT .S17 CHICKEN.

The boys at the capitol cant
get over that $17 chicken produc-
ed by Clarence Zigler and Ernie
Wanner. It will be remembered
that a short time ago announce
ment was made to the effect that
the chicken craze had hit several
of those attached to the Offices in
the capitol. About the most dis
astrous outcome Of speculation ia
this line has been announced. The
two gentlemen aforesaid recent.W
invested in some excellent ana
pedigreed chicken eggs, price SIZE
The incubator got to work and
out of the valuable lot Of eggs
produced but one chicken--and
it had a crooked leg. However,
they decided to make the besto Of
their misfortune and proceeoedto
raise the poor thing On a b,ttfd,,
or otherwise, but the mournfut
news now comes that the chicken
died. The friends Of the two boys
are now specializing AS to whether
they have been cured or not Of the
mania.

How Market Manipulators
Are Fleeing the Farmers
Former Congressman Kelley Shows Effect Of Speculative
Practices Upon Prices of Farm Produce

ket m%anipulatOrs out Of 500, 00O, 900.
How little figure the tariff cuts with
the price of corn now when 1t ia IN
the hands of the grain gamblers.
But it is not only this year that
this has happened. 1t has happened
every year since the agricultural de-
partment has kept a record of the
prices. The farmers marketed heavily
and rapidly this year on account of
the fine condition of the corn, and this
gave the speculative interests an OPP
portunity to slash prices tossuit their
greed.
And they have done practically the
same thing with wheat, a1d do almost
every year. Though wheat does not
lend itself as we'll at all times q corn
to this kind of manipulation.
How Prices Have Run.
The following figures, obtained from
the department of agriculture. show
the work Of the grain gamblers. Note
how regularly the price drops while
the farmers are marketing heavily;
and with what regularity 1t goes up to
it's true value as soon as the market
gamblers get the bulk of it.

This means those suing in American

against the company are $13, 900:
The court held where a lone ship was
wrecked the law of the country In
which suit is brought governs the linn
itation of the liability.
In delivering the opinion, Justice
Holmes said: I'VE see no absurdity
in supposing If the owner of the ii.
tanic were sued in different coun-
tries, each having a different rule
affecting the remedy there the local
rule would be applied in each case.'''
Justice McKenna dissented, holding
that the Bridish law should apply.

The last three figures are taken
from the Chicago market reports, as
they could not be obtained in time
from the department. They simply
bring the figures down to the middle
of the present month Of May.
This robbing that is systematically
done by grain gamblers throughout the
country, however not only wrongs the
farmers, but all whose well-being de-
ponds upon the success Of the farmers,
and tina takes in practically the en-
tire population of the agricultural
Northwest. III
Terminal Elevators Needed.
To prevent this systematic Fleeing
the farmers must organize and build
terminal elevators. II q small per-
centage of the grain thrown upon the
markets during the heavy marketing
season could be placed; in farmer-own-
ed elevators, where cash could be
drawn against receipts, it would pre-
vent this great loss 10 the most wor-
thy portion Of our population.
Another great saving can be made
by establishing oren selling agencies,
such as as IS contemplated by moving
the Farmers Equity Cooperative ex-
change to St. Paul. The Minneapolis
exchange takes two commissions on
every car, handled and a half dozen
on some Of them. That is, merchants
receiving consigned grain are. not per-
mitted to sell toa any person (until
the second sale) whosis notSa3 member
OF the Chamber of Commerce. I
Loses Make Gigantic Total. \
The farmers have lost more money
the past season on corn and wheat,
through unfair manipulation, than it
would take to build all necessary ele-
vators in all of. the great terminal
markets Of the United States, and
then have enough money left to build
a half dozen Of the largest ocean
freighters the. world has ever known.
Nothing but intelligent and effect
i've organization will ever enable the
farmers Of the country to meet this
situation properly. 1
The grain gamblers are thoroughly !
organized and firmly intrenched-,
their grip can and shall be loosened. !

To quote from a communication
from Col. w. p. Tuttle. republican
candidate for congress from this dis
trict:
"Inasmuch as the manufacturers OF
the country have seen fit to organize
themselves into trusts, into gentle
mems agreements and into combina-
tons to insure themselves larger pro-
fits and prevent lower prices, the ef-
forts of the farmer to cooperate
should BE- encouraged. To that end
! would favor the producers of farm
products getting togther, as in the
Society OF Equity or some similar
organization, Tor their mutual bene-
fit. The fruit raisers west of the
Rocky mountains have made a sue
cess of cooperation, and l see no
reason why the grain growers east
of the Rockies may not do the
same"
These words come with double
force from the pen of MI. Tuttle who
is a farmer himself and has made q
success of farming in North Dakota.

few excerpts from Roots speech, per-
haps the greatest contribution to the
anti-free tolls debate:
do the American people wish their
representatives to treat with other
nations that are in conventional rela-
ton with us, that are brought into
contact with us by travel, by all the
m%ultitudinous intercourse of modern
life, upon the theory that any asser.
. ton Of right by them is an insult;
that any grant OF right by us is a sur.
render? Do they wish us to conduct
our foreign affairs on the principle of
the, t%hOughtless youth who filings up
his hat and shouts for the flag? Do
they wish us to do that, or to act like
just and co%nsiderate men; to be dig
nifled, calm, considerate and reason
able In our relations with foreign
countries?" 81"
