or lower prices. Then there came
the organization Of the elevator busi-
ness. This was necessary step.
Some means We're needed for the sys-
tenization of the business of grain
handling, and large concerns were es-
tablished, with central organizations,
and elevators strung out through the
country on all the railroads in the
great wheat producing territory. The
new plan was attended with abuses.
Competition was suppressed, the mar
ket between buying and selling price
was altogether too large In many
cases to be warranted by natural con-
ditions.
The farmers elevator" was the de-
vice by which an effort was made to
remedy this condition. The history Of
checkcred one. The cooperative
method Of doing business had to meet
not only the competition from it's old
er rivals, but the risk Of loss due to
ineXperience on the part Of it's organ
izers and managers. One case of in
solvency after another due sometimes
to inexperience on the part Of a man.
ager, and sometimes to his dishon-
esty. convinced those interested that
the farmers elevator, like every other
business institution, must be managed
in a business-like way. Most Of the
cooperative plants are now so man
aged, and most Of them are success
full
The step from the local elevator to
the terminal was u natural and logical
one. And that step has been taken
by the Equity society. The compile
ton of the enterprise will enable the
producers, through their various or
eanizations. to retain ownership in
their product until the moment of its
delivery for shipment abroad. or its
delivery to the miller for manufacture
The farmers Of the Northwest have
demonstrated the truth of the asser-
tion often made in this paper that
whenever the grain growers of the
Northwest really desired q terminal
elevator they would have no difficult
ty in supplying themselves. The new
elevator is financed by the farmers
themselves, in exactly the same man
ner in which other men finance bus
iness ventures Of their own. The state
IS not involved in the matter at all,
nor does it need to be. The farmers
who are interested in this enterprise
believe that it will be a profita BILE one
for them, hence 1t was natural and
proper that they should engage In it.
IF there Is a profit it will belong to
them. If there should be loss, it will
be their duty to shoulder the loss and
take steps to avoid its repetition. The
whole enterprise is based on the prin-
ciple of private ownership and coop
Grafton. a principle which is in per-
feet harmony with most Of our busi-
ness experience.

STILL LOOKING FOR VILLA.

III Is never SAFE to form very defi-
mite conclusions as to what is going
on in Mexico until the returns are all
in. Most of the reports en1anating
from that country are not true. The
rest are highly colored. Therefore,
when the announcement was first
made that Villa had captured Chihua-
llua, the natural course was to wait
and see Just how greatly exaggerated
the actual facts had been. The Car
rama authorities declared that their
party was still in possession Of the
city, and some of them asserted that
Villa had been beaten off. The ar
rival of beaten and wounded men from
Trevino's army and the stories which
they have told of the fighting at Chi
huahua, has set all doubt at rest. Not
only has Villa achieved some success.
but he has won a sweeping victory
after several days of fierce fighting
He has possessed himself Of the city
which was the prize in this struggle,
and he remains in possession. A part
OF the Carranza force has escaped
northward to Juarez, and nobody
seems to know what has happened to
the remainder.
So far as Carranza is concerned, he
is entitled to scant sympathy even if
the present success of the bandit lead
er proves to be the turning point of
a new revolution which will overturn
Carranza and those who have attempt
ed to form a government with him.
CarranZa has thrown every possible
obstacle in the way Of the American
force sent south in pursuit Of
this same Villa, and if the aid thus
given proves to have SO strengthened
Villa as to make his final success over
CarranZa certain. CarranZa will have
only himself to blame for that fact.
But the United States has some
where in the interior Of Mexico an
armed force which is supposed to be
hunting Villa. That is the errand on
which these soldiers were dispatched
Theoretically they are still engaged in
that work. And Villa, it seems, would
be just now very easy man to find
The trouble is that while the origi-
nal errand still remains the ostensible
objective OF the American troops, in
reality they are held where they are
without aim and without purpose
They are not permitted to move for
| ward or back, and every day the pow
er of the man they are supposed to be
| seeking grows. If this thing keeps
on the problem for the American gov
ernment will soon be, not to find
Villa, but to keep the American army
from being found by Villa.
Under the circumstances, what an
| absurdity is a protocol discussing the
pacification of the border provinces
and the withdrawal of American
troops within 40 days if, within that
time, CarranZa has shown ability to
maintain order. Unless some use is
actually to be made of the American
troops, and some adequate support
given them. the best thing will be to
get them out of Mexico while they
can be got out. At the present rate
OF progress it will soon be impossible
to get them out at all.

RYlNT s|!!p|'22EIE'F p|'2I COURT
FORCED TC REVERSE Sill
Gives Judgment to N. +. Haii'"au III
ter Unusual Action Goes 1hru
to U. S. Supreme Court.

Helena, Mont. Dec 2.-The su-
prene court of Montana has rendered
a decision in a case that had peeh
through it on appeal and up to inc
supreme court of the United States on
federal question. and back aeaih'
the case of II. p. Wall, as adlmihls-
traitor of the estate OF +. j. Wall &C.
ceased, against the Northern racine
railway company.
The suit involved an important
question in relation to the Interstate
commerce carriers. the railroads of
the country, and that Issue WAS set
tied by the federal court, and the de-
cision now rendered by the Montana
court, in which it was Obliged 20 re-
verse itself, annulled judgment for
the plaintiff and gave judgment to the
defendant.
The supreme court of the United
States held that a railroad cannot
waive a notice Of DANA ges from a
shipper, and said that such waiver
would be discrimination and a viola
ton of the commerce act. which was
intended to require equal treatment
to all shippers. the rule being en-
forced against one could not be re-
mitted in favor OF another.
The plaintiff sued for s1,5o4 for
stock that had died enroute from
Montana to Chicago in cars OF the
railroad, averring the defendants
negligence was the cause. The jury
gave a verdict for $927.60. The plain
tiff failed to serve notice OF the DAM
ages before removing his stock from
the cars. a requirement of the law.
The trial and the appellate courts
in Montana held this notice was
waived by the railroad. The federal
court issued the dictum above stated,
when the case went to it on q writ of
error. The Montana supreme court, in
the opinion today issued, written by
Justice Holloway, reviews the deci-
sons on the point of notice made by
the federal court In many cares, and
reaches the conclusion that the rule
is invariable that notice cannot be
waived.
So its previous judgment is vacated,
and an order made to the triaf court
to enter judgment for the defendant
for costs here and at Washington.

London Pager Says Operation Will
Check Flow Of United States
Gold to Japan.

London, Dec. 2.-The Morning Post
today refers to japanese loan as the
operation to which it alluded when in
dealing with the American federal re-
serve boards warning against invest
ing in foreign treasury notes it said
it believed details had been concluded
Inv which large amount OF dollar
credits would shortly come Into Brit
ish possession for three years.
The newspaper says this loan will
immediately place fully $70,000,00o
nj the service of Great Britain in the
United states and it probably con-
stitutes the very cheapest form of
oitainins dollar credits in that coun-
trv at the present time. 1t contends
that this was the real reason for the
loan which was not made because
Great britain needs more money to
conduct the war, such funds being OBJ
tainahle at home. The Morning Post
Incidentally thinks 1t possible this
operation will check the flow OF gold
from the United states to Japan which
il believes desirable. The newspaper
ADDS that the whole operation is ex-
captionally interesting, showing re-

nomic condition OF Japan and the
close cooperation existing between
Great Britain and her allies in finance

BRYAN AND PROHIBITION.

Mr.. Bryan has long been an ardent
advocate of prohibition. 1t may be
significant that so soon after the
election he has taken occasion to an
nounce his conviction that the Demo-
cratic party must take up the issue
of prohibition, for il is no secret that
he has for some time looked forward
to the year 1920 as the time for a
grand prohibition campaign, and it is
more than likely that he expects TO
lead the movement himself as the
presidential candidate of his party.
Mr. Bryan is not going to Join the
Prohibition party. He is too astute
n politician for that. He likes to win,
and in each Of his campaigns he has
hoped to win. He will not ally him
self with party which has no pros
pect Of success. But if he can induce
the Democratic party to adopt the
issue of prohibition. and nominate
him for president. he would un-
doubtedly be pleased with such an ar
rangement.
1t will be interesting, as time
passes. TO observe how Mr.. Bryan
deals with, the problem of prohibition
as 1t affects the states and in it's re-
lation to the nation 1t will be re-
membered that a few years ago he
declared himself for the government
ownership of railroads. But the sub
ject involved some knotty problems
in state and national government. He
knew that the southern Democrats
would not approve a policy of fed
eral ownership, and it was equally
certain that exclusive state owner
ship would never get anywhere. With
his usual resourcefulness he evolved
a scheme the like of which had never
been heard of before. nor has the
Bryan plan been heard of since. 1t
was for the federal ownership OF
trunk lines through all the states,
with state ownership Of local feed
ers. The plan died a-borning.
Southern opposition to the invasion
Of the police powers of the states by
the federal government in the matter
Of prohibition will be vehement and
uncompromising The state of
Georgia has decided that for It's own
purposes it will prohibit the sale of
liquor within its borders. But the
state of Georgia would be among the
drst to resent being forced into pro-
hibition by the federal government.
Whether Mr.. Bryan has some peculiar
plan by which he will undertake to
meet this situation remains to be
sean.

CHEAP FOOD

A good many experiments are now
under way to demonstrate the pos
sibtlity Of living on a small sum Of
money per day. In a Pennsylvan
experiment the subjects were MAIN
tained on an expenditure Of 80 cents
per day for food, and the news has
been sent abroad with large eX-
clamation marks attached.
Is it possible to live on 80 cents
worth of food a day? OF course it
is. And the effort Of food experts is
not necessary to prove it. The thing
Is actually being done, not as mat
ter of scientific demonstration by
thousands Of families in the United
States today.
Thirty cents a day is nine dollars a
month. For a family of five persons
that will mean $45 per month The
wages for common abor in this sec
ton range from 50 to So per day, ac-
cording to season. There is a short
period when the wages run some
what higher than the latter figure,
and there are other periods when Ia
Dor can be obtained for less than the
former. And there is a long period
when there Is no work to be obtain
ed at all In the families Of how
many common laborers does the ex-
penditure for food alone reach s45
per month?
A family Of five is not large fam
lily. There are many families of dou-
bic that number which are main
tained out of the wages of a single
Preadwinner at the ordinary wages of
common labor. And there are few of
us who could not name some family
OF his own acquaintance which is so
maintained, and maintained with ev-
cry appearance Of comfort, families
whose children are neatly and COM
fortably clad, and kept at school, and
where there is nothing to indicate
suffering or privation. How this is
done we DO not undertake to say. But
It is done; therefore it can be done.
In the matter of food, it is difficult
to tell just what is the irreducible
minimum. Thirty cents day per
person will not cover the cost of the
us like. But life can be sustained,
and the human frame can be kept in
vigorous condition on an expenditure
Of much less than thitry cents day
II one is determined to do it. This
can b done even in these days OF
high prices. But the bill Of fare will
not include eggs at 40 cents, or steak
ct IS.

BIG INCREASE IN
AMOUNT OF STOCK
Three Times as Much Live
Stock in North Dakota
as Six Years Ago.

Bismarck, n. D., Dec. 2.-Much has
been said of the notable increase of
live stock in North Dakota during the
past few years. Real evidence of this
gain is found in records OF the office
of Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor Flint.
In 1905, a year of heavy immigra-
ton, 509 stock brands We're issued
from the commissioners Office. BY
1911, several good crop years had so
reduced the interest in live stock that
but 191 brands were applied for,
Then came couple of poor wheat
years, and live stock hogan to pick
up. IL reached its pinnacle for North
Dakota in 1916, with a total of $40
Nc" 'rands 10 date. In November
50 brands were issued, and If Decem-
Ler holds t.D as we'll the toral will
be $50, as compared with SO for
1915.
Breeding Stock.
Increased receipts of breeding stock
are shown by the admission on tuber-
culin tests in 1916 of 15,1G2 head, as
19.SOS stockers and feeders were ad-
mitted on inspection, as against 1854
in 1911.
Ruyin@ Breeders Here:
Until worry recently" said Com
missioner Flint, mo one thought of
coming to North Dakota for pure bred
breeding stock. In 1916, however,
there left the state after being tuber
culin tested, 2,172 pure-bred cattle.
In 1911 the total was but S95."
Increased BaiTyiHg.
The dairying interest has kept pace
with live stock. In 191l, North pa
