WHY LIVING COSTS ARE HIGH

Denver-The only shortage in cars
and commodities that exist are occasion
ed by an apparent colusion between the
railroads and the middleman, reports a
special committee appointed by the
Trades and Labor Assembly to investi-
gate the high cost of living
The committee found refrigerator
cars loaded with hay and cement.
I'VE find potatoes" reports the inves-
tigators, Selling at 1895 for whites and
1926 for reds, and three years ago
whites sold at 95 cents and reds at $lO5
hundred. 1t is evident that there is no
shortage of potatoes, as there were As
car loads in the yards of the week of
November 19, of 1916, left to freeze.
the committee that one man in the
Greeley district with 10 acres of pota-
toes was compelled to cover them with
straw to keep them from going to ruin,
owing to his inability to get cars for
shipment Your committee made visit
to the Westminster district to try and
buy apples and we found hve-acre
tract unpicked. When inquiry was made
as to price we were told that they were
not for sale. Then we asked to be per-
mtted either to pick or take fruit on
the ground, or, in other words, windfall
apples. We were then told that they
were not privileged to grant our request
as they had been bought by a commission
merchant"
The committee recommended that the
president and congress be urged to have
the government investigate this and re-
lated questions

LIFE OF BABE DEPENDS
ON WAGES OF FATHER

Washington.-That children's welfare,
from babyhood to adolescence, is bound
up with industrial conditions is empha-
sized in the fourth annual report of
Miss Julia c. Lathrop of the children's
bureau, federal department of labor.
A study of infant mortality in Man
chester, N. H.. completed this year, adds
new evidence that when the fathers
earnings are low, or the mothers work
out of the home, the infant mortality
rate is exceptionally high. In Manches-
ter it varies from one death among
every four babies, where fathers earn
less than $3.50, to one death among every
16 babies, where fathers earn 81 1,O5O or
more.
The bureau has prepared study of
maternal mortality and finds that $1,000
mothers die year by year in this country
from largely preventable causes incident
to maternity and that the death rate
from maternal causes has not decreased
since 1900.
"'rhe means of prevention" it is stat
ed, are the instruction of the mother,
skilled supervision before the birth of
her child and suitable care during con-
inement. But she must have nourishing
food and sufficient rest and freedom
from anxiety--in other words, decent
living conditions
"Merely keeping the breath of life in
children is valuelcss to the nation unless
they are brought on to adult life train
ed masters of their full powers of body
and mind
at is a matter of speculation as to
what proportion of children at work arc
dependent upon their own earnings or
support families in whole or in part
Also the number of dependent children
now supported by public and private
funds is unknown"
Congress is urged to authorize the bu-
reau to make special inquiry into the
condition of the children to be affected
by the new federal child labor law.

OBJECT TO CONVICT LABOR.

Oklahoma City, Organized la
Dor does not take kindly to Governor
Williams legislative policy, as outlined
in a newspaper interview, in which he
is quoted as favoring the building of a
terrace around the capitol with convict
labor. The governor construes this as
within the law which provides for the
State-use of convicts, but organized la
Dor insists that this monument to con-
vict labor would be disgrace to Okla
homa.

Huxley on Men.

Professor Huxley once wrote to Mrs.
w. X. Clifford about men: "They are
very queer animals mixture OF horse
nervousness, ass stubbornness and
camel malice, with an angel bobbing
about unexpectedly like the apple in
the posset, and when they can do ex-
actly as they please they are very hard
to drive"

M. G.. Olson Co. and SmallwOOd
Grocery to Exchange Quarter:

The M. q. Olson 20. are making ar
rangements to exchange sides of the
building with Smallwood's Sanitary
Grocery. Installed on the side now
occupied by Smallwood, the M. G. o.
son Co. will have the benefit of larger
window space and an addition is being
built at the back for storage purposes,
thus giving them much additional
room. Their present quarters are in
adequate to accommodate their rap
idly growing business and larger quar-
ters became imperative. After the
exchange is effected a new front will
be placed on the side occupied by the
clothing store. This will be of the lat
est design, IL feet in depth, ,affording
them ample room for display pur-
poses. Larger floor space will provide
room for five additional floor cases.
When the improvements are complete
this will be one of the most up-to-date
clothing stores in the city. 1t is ex.
pected that the work will be finished
by Sept. Is.

TERRIBLE HAIL AT BOWBELLs
Great Damage Done to Crops-Hun-
dreds of Windows Broken in City
Trees Are Damaged

Bowbells. N. D., Aug. 10.-The
worst hail storm in the history Of this
section of the state visited this city
and surrounding country at 1880 o.
clock Wednesday evening. Crops for
a distance of five miles in all direc-
lions Of the town were wiped out and
it is believed that the storm covered
a much wider area. Every window in
every residence and business house in
Powbells was broken and the roofs of
many of the buildings were damaged.
A number Of people were cut by flying
glass. There is NO truth to the report
that 60 people were killed in cyclone.
While the wind was fierce, no one was
seriously injured After the storm two
inches Of hail covered the ground The
rubberoid roofing on many buildings
was cut and the rooms flooded Editor
Stefoniwiz of the Bowbells Tribune
reports his plant flooded. After the
storm he shoveled a half a wagon load
of hail stones from his roof.
The hail was so fierce that the leaves
were cut off the trees and the trunks
of the trees were badly damaged on
the west side. The storm came from
the southwest.

WHEAT ADVANCED ELEVEN
CENTS ON WEDNESDAY
Unfavorable Government Reports Bal
loon Price Up to $1.4O in Minot-
Flour $3.50 Per Hundred

Wheat is selling in Minot on the To-
cal market today at $1.40 per bushel.
1t made an advance Of II cents per
bushel Wednesday and just how much
more the price will advance is mat
ter of great speculation. The advance
was due no doubt to the unfavorable
government reports on the crop. There
will be a very light crop everywhere,
due to the heat and rust.
In the Minot district grain men esti-
mate that the wheat will not average
over five or six bushels per acre. 1t
is badly affected by rust and every
day the crop has been going back.
Some are cutting wheat now and the
grade is very poor. The wheat is
shriveled and will be very poor for
milling purposes. Good seed will be
a scarce article.
Since week ago the local price of
wheat has advanced from S1.24 to
S1.40 per bushel.
Flour has advanced with the wheat.
The mills have increased the price 80
cents per barrel and flour which sold
at 1918 per hundred in the local
stores Wednesday, has been advanced
to $3.50 today.

FRANK FLEMING NET
A HORRIBLE DEATH
Prominent FOxhOlm Farmer Sue
cumbed to Injuries Received When
Run Over With Binder.

Frank Flemming, aged so years, one
of the most prosperous farmers in the
Foxholm district, met with fatal in
juries at his farm Wednesday fore
noon Of last week when a team ran
away with a binder. pulling the ma
chine over him. He died Friday af-
ternoon at 2:3O o'clock at the Ken
mare hospital from blood poisoning.
Mr.. Trimmings wife and children
were picking berries in the coulee some
distance from the house and he was
working around the barn alone. His
binder had been left out in corner
of the field and he got out his trusty
team to pull it out Of the weeds so
that he could work on it and get it
ready to cut grain in day or two. He
placed the harness on the team but
left the halters on and hitching them
to the binder, started to lead them.
He forgot that the binder had been
left in gear and when the machine
started up it made such racket that
the horses became frightened. They
jumped, throwing him to the ground.
The rusty sickle caught his left leg
and he was drawn some distance. Four
terrible gashes were cut on the leg,
one on the hip, another nearly the
length of the thigh and two below the
knee. After being dragged for sever
al rods, the binder ran over him. The
team. made a circle and the binder
caught on the corner Of the granary
Mr.. Flemming was barely able to drag
himself to the house. He telephoned
to the Carpio doctor, who came out
hurriedly and bandaged his leg. He
was taken to Carpio and left on No.
los that afternoon for the Kenmare
hospital. Members of his family fol-
lowed him to Kenmare. He Stated
that he would recover soon and urged
them to return home. Friday his con,
Gltion grew so much worse that his
family was notified and they again
went to Kenmare but he had died be
fore they arrived. Blood poisoning
had set in and his decline was rapid.
The remains were brot to Foxholm
and the funeral held from St. Mary's
Catholic church Sunday afternoon, in
torment being made at that place. The
funeral was very large and the floral
tributes were many. The funeral was
in charge of Rev. Father Mittereder.
Mr.. Flemming was one of the most
influential farmers of that locality
He had built one of the finest farm
homes in the county three miles west
Of Foxholm. .r-
He was born in Germany and short
ly after he married his first wife he
came to America. settling near Orion
vile, MINI. In 1900 he came to Ward
county and filed on homestead. His
former wife died in 1908 and three
years ago he was married to Mrs
Funk, who, with seven daughters and
a son by the first wife, survive. The
children are: Mrs. Frank Rodermach-
er. Of Anamoose; Mrs. Martin Zabeck
Foxholm; Mrs. John Hogan, Foxholm;
Mrs. Victor Nelson, Burlington; John
Flemming, Agnes, Antonio and Mar
tina Flemming, of Foxholm.
The deceased leaves two brothers
Joseph of Foxholm, and Peter of Chi.
cago, and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Kar-
els of Ortonville and Mrs. Frank Ac-
kartz of South Dakota. His aged
mother, who is IS years old, resides
with the daughter at Ortonville.

Didn't Want to Be a Baptist.

An amusing incident occurred at
Lake Metigoshe last week. Jack Tur-
rer was preparing to confer the Coun-
Gil Degrees on thirteen Masons who
had gathered there from all parts of
the northwest and he was dressed in
his best "bib and tucker" Rev. Nc
Kelvey, formerly of Des Laos. but now
in charge of the Bottineau Methodist
church. was in bathing. Turner re-
marked that he was going to make a
Baptist of McKelvey and he slipped
out on the spring board intending to
give the preacher a ducking. Nickel
vey grabbed Turner and pulled him in,
good clothes and all, and ducked him
three times.
