STEPS FOR COST !.
SYSTEM TAKEN
BY GRAIN MEN

Chicago, Dec. S.-Farmers of the
great grain states of the middle west
and north. believing that less than a
fair share of the profits of their labor
is returned to them, took the first
steps here today to establish a cost
system for their industry.
f In connection with the national con-
ference on marketing and farm credits,
representative grain growers discus
sed various means of determining mar
keting costs from the field, through
the elevators, the mills and to the
housewives oven with the ultimate oh.
ject of lessening the cost to the con-
sumer and attracting a larger portion
Of what the consumer pays, direct to
the producer.
Lynn J. Frazier, governor-elect of
North Dakota, who arrived at the head
of a delegation of North Dakotans in
two special trains from the northwest,
was the chief speaker, telling of the
handicaps that have hindered the ship
pers of his state and toward the re.
moval Of which the state adminstra.
tion is pledged to work.

HERCULEAN TASK BEFORE
HIM TO FORM MINISTRY

London, Dec. S-Lloyd-George
seems to be solidifying political fac.
tions in his attempt to form new
ministry that will give closer and
more efficient control over war plans.
At a meeting today Of the liberal
party members, resolutions were
adopted expressing confidence in their
leaders and former Minister Herbert
Asquith The members also express
ed their determination to support the
new Lloyd-George government in the
Prosecution Of the war
1t is agreed everywhere that the
little Welshman is facing a herculean
task The formation of the new min.
istry must typify England's determi-
nation to wage the war to the bitter
end. "
Good Material.
Lloyd-George has plenty of excel
lent material from which to draw his
cabinet. Among the names which
were most prominently mentioned to.
day as possible ministers we're:
Ronar Ital, unionist; Lord Curzon,
ffe Earl Of Derby. Union
ist; Lord Miner, Unionist; Winston
Churchill, Liberal; Lord Robert Cecil,
blockade minister in the late cabinet,
Unionist; Arthur Henderson. minister
of pensions in the late cabinet, La
borte: Lord Davenport, Unionist; Sir
Henry Dalziel, Liberal, and Lord
Reading, Liberal.
The present complexion of the
house is: Unionist 237. Liberal 26O,
Labor 81 Irish Nationalist 70, O'Bri-
enites 9. independents 2. 1t is believ-
ed the new cabinet maker will event
ually be able to enlist the support Of
the labor party. in view of his known
purpose more literally to recognize
that partys claims in the new minis
try. Only one member. Arthur Hen
derson, member of pensions, was on

Labor party has heretofore 1een very

Mystery At Hotel
Van Hoy,,-..Big Be-,
Falls Three Stories

Something must have gone decided
ly wrong in room on the third floor
of the new Van Horn hotel this morn
ing to have prompted Big Ben, an
alarm agitator against sleep, owned
by Miss Cassie Brink, a clerk in the
Lucas department store, to try and
commit suicide.
Drops Three Flights.
Big Ben dropped from the window
of room on the third floor Of the
hostelry early today, through the plate
glass canopy in front of the hotel,
and escaped without scratch. As
for the canopy, one of the plate glass
es was smashed. It was narrow es-
cape for Big Fen, but he's up and
working again this afternoon and will
ing to forgive all.
Air Of Mystery About 1t.
There's an air of mystery about the
affair. as to what prompted Big Ben
to take the three-story leap through
space. No one seems to know A ru-
NOR, however, has it that Big Een's
owner is enthused with her bed at
the hotel and would like to have slept
all morning, but "a certain little thing
happened"
Ben Got "shootinq or"
It is believed that Big Ben got
shooting off," and that his owner
jumped from her bed, seized the agi-
tator by the neck and hoisted him
out of the window. Ben's flight
through space then began. He made
quick time, struck the canopy, went
right through it and fell on the ce'
