FARMERS DEMAND
INCREASED PRICES
Assert They Don't Get a Fair
!. Profit for Labor; Compar-
isons Are Shown.

CHICAGO, Dec. 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 step
here today to establish a cost system
for their industry. In connection
with the national conference on mar
keting and farm credits, representa-
tive grain growers discussed various
means of determining marketing costs
from the field, thru the elevators, the
mills and to the housewives oven
with the ultimate objects of reducing
the cost to the consumer and attract
Ing a. larger portion of what the con
sumer pays direct to the producer.
Lynn j. Frazier. governor elect OF
North Dakota. said the broader needs
of the northern farmer were state ele-
vators, state owned terminals. state
owned packing plants and insurance
from hail at reasonable cost from
the hands of the state.
Because of lack of storage facili-
ties for potatoes this year" he con
tinued, growers were forced to mar
ket their potatoes at once and re-
ceived an average of 80 cents "A bushel
for potatoes that sold from $3.50 to
sl.76 a bushel as soon as they reached
the large markets"

the city would have to take the ordi =

City Attorney John Woodward was in

to break down such a law in the

No arrests were made, but these
itnerant merchants were informed
that until the law was held uncon-

unwilling to take the risk. especially

"My wife suffered for two years
with Indigestion and stomach trouble !:
gas would form on her stomach and
almost bend her double at times, and
she was forever suffering with those
fearful headaches. At last she de-
cided to have an operation performed
for appendicitis on the advice of our
physician. That was aim ost two years
ago. and ever since that day that she
came out from under the influence
of the chloroform she has been nerv-

she was falling away. At times she
would go for almost week at time

appetite was so poor. She continually
grew worse and nobody seemed to do
her any good.
