KNIGHTS OF PYTHlAS
HAVE GOLDEN JUBILEE.

Oakes Lodge No. 81 was one of the
1890 lodges to observe the golden ju-
bilee of the institution of the order in
this country and Canada. In response
to invitations sent out about 12O people
gathered at Union Tempe last night
to witness the ceremonies specially ar
ranged for this anniversary and also to
sit down to the banquet board. The
ritualistic service was preceded by an
address by Rev. +. S. Hollett, who had
great praise for the order and its
teachings.
The banquet was served at Hotel dc
Bartlett and was up to the standard il
cuisine accomplishment. After suppe,
those who enjoyed dancing repaired t.
the opera house, where the Oakes Or.
chestra, which had charge of the music
for the evening, played for the dancers
until early this morning.

throughout the evening.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
FULL OF GOOD THINGS.

The two days session Of the farm
ers institute closed yesterday after
noon at four o'clock. The attendance
was satisfactory and the interest
manifested very good.
Prof. Richards, adviser Of the Bet-
ter Farming Association for this coun-
ty, opened the session on Tuesday
afternoon, outlining his plans for the
carrying on Of his work in Dickey coun-
ty. He asked the cooperation Of the
farmers in this work and invited them
to get out and help organize the clubs
in this community. His remarks on
hog cholera and its prevention and
cure was of the greatest interest at
this time.
John Christensen, . practical dairy
man Of New Salem, discussed the
dairy problem. The right way TO
know what your herd is doing il to
keep an accurate account Of feed given
each animal, the pounds Of milk pro-
duced by each, and the difference
between the two will show what each
COW IS worth to you. Get into the
thoroughbred cattle as quickly -
possible. If you can't do that keep
grading up with good sire.
Prof. Randlett Of the A. C. spoke
on the corn and silo questions. He dis
cussed the various kinds Of silo, and
strongly advised the use Of some kind
where results are wanted. He advised
growing the heavy, deep kernel corn.
Alfalfa, the soil, grain growing, and
other topics were discussed. It was q
meeting for the farmers and those
topics of most interest were the ones
taken up and discussed. Questions
were freely asked, and there was IN
incentive to get the best out Of the
meetings that was possible.
c. S. Lowell, of Kaneville, ILL.,, spoke
yesterday afternoon on the experience
Of his home county of Kane. The Bet
ter Farming movement has been there
for some years. Mr.. Lowell, as chair
man of the county organization, had
much to do with getting the work
started and the giving of his expert
ence was most valuable The soil ex.

$4,000 per year.
Mr.. Eastgate, Of Larimore and Mr.
Sanford Of Valley City were access
ions to the speaking force yesterday
afternoon and gave good talks on ro-
tation of crops, diversified farming and
beef production.
The attendance the first day filled
the opefa house, not only the main
floor but the gallery seats were all
taken. The free luncheon at the city
hall allowed the farmers to leave be,
fore dinner and it is estimated that
about three hundred were fed. The
citizens acted as one man in waiting
on the visitors, and many expressions
of appreciation were heard from those
who attended.
The institute was very successful

WHY ARE THERE WAR PRICES
FOR FOOD IN UNITED STATES
by Allen D. Albert

But why should wheat advance?
For precisely the reason that sugar
has advanced. The world needs it..
The worlds supply is contracted. 1t
promises to be still more contracted.
Bidding for it is strong, all over the
dry land of the earth. Governments
have entered the market, bidding
against the dealer or driving the deal
err away: And the farmer with wheat
to sell will ask himself, as the sugar
jobber asks himself: eff l can get
more for it by selling it to the buyer
for Afghanistan why sell it to Ameri-
ca for less?"
The Curious Case of Meat
Very well, then. But what about
meat?
The first thing to note about meat
is that, for some inexplicable reason,
the price of dressed pork is down So
the hundredweight, although the price
of pork on the hoof is up. This is,
evidently, an eccentricity of the mar
ket and will disappear.
The price of beef, however, has
stood almost still in the Northwest.
1t was scarce when the war broke. 1t
is scarce now. In this field, so to
speak, we were on war basis a month
ago and we are likely to stay there
until the supply of meat on the hoof
is appreciably increased. Yet, high
as it is, if any of the belligerent pow
ers should begin bidding for meat in
Argentine and America, the price
may be still further advanced.
Here, particularly, the attitude of
the grower will affect the market. If
the farmer is disposed to hold his
steers in the hope of a bigger price,
the supply will shrink, the bidding
will advance, and the retail price will
go still higher until enough meat has
been started to market to stop the
rise.
Beans, Canned Goods and Relishes
Navy beans are up because navy
beans are ration, in the first place,
and are largely grown in Germany,
in the second place. Lentils are up
because they, likewise, are largely
grown in Germany, Lima beans are
up because they are the first sub
stitute sought for many beans.
Canned goods have advanced for
two reasons. Our importation of vege-
tables amounts, in the year, to about
S10,500,O00. These supplies come
largely from Europe. They are not
coming now. Of no less importance
is the rise in the cost of tin for cans.
That has been so marked that one
American mill is reported to have shut
down already.
Why should tin go up? Because one
of the chief ingredients of tin, as of
| solder, is manganese. Germany is the
worlds producer of manganese. Ger
many is not shipping manganese OF
anything else. So tin costs the Amer
lean $500 ton more than it did q
week ago, and solder in proportion.
Candy, table syrup and preserves
cost more because sugar costs more
Oatmeal goes up because warning ma
tions are bidding heavily for fodder
Olives, sardines, currents, and Hol
land herring, threaten to disappear
from the market If the seas are mo-
cleared.
When Will Prices Come Down
Our first hope for reduced prices
depends entirely upon the sea. L
Great Britain and France can clea1
the oceans there is every probabilit!
that shipping will be far enough in

creased to bring some relief to Amer
lea. If the countries not at war can
alter the routes of their shipping, as
now they are working might and main
to do, the new Interchange of pro
iucts may bring some relief in par
5icGlar commodities.
But the relief can be neither gem
eral nor complete until the war ceases.

ReynOlds-Kimble

A very pretty home wedding &C
cured Thursday evening, June 4th
when Miss Fay Reynolds and Mr.
Earl Austin Kimble were united il
marriage at the home of the brides
parents in East Summit. Quite {
number of relatives and friends were
present to witness the ceremony.
At $50 o'clock as the strains of the
wedding march, played by Mrs. Sallie
Beaman, sister of the bride, was filling
the room, the bridal party entered and
stood beneath large wedding bell,
suspended from beautiful arch,
when the Rev. Chapman pronounced
them husband and wife.
The bride was daintily gowned in a
dress of white chiffon trimmed in en-
broidered chiffon and shadow lace.
Her veil also was of chiffon trimmed
in lilies of the valley. She carried a
boquet of bridal roses and lilies of the
valley.
The groom wore the conventional
black.
After congratulations had been ex-
tended, the bride and groom led the
way to the dining room where
sumptuous wedding supper, which
spoke we'll for Mrs. Reynolds cult
nary art, was served.
Miss Fay is the youngest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Reynolds.
She has grown to womanhood in our

wishes. A Friend.

Iguess there are agreat many hard
ships in life all right, but it occurs to
me that there is considerably more
granting than necessary. A little
observation shows that that the folks
who are standing up like good fel-

much about how bad they feel. And
it takes no very great deal of investi-
cation to find out that those who
squeal the -loudest are not the ones
