Minot merchants will hold their an
nual fall opening the week of Septem-
Der 10. Joining forces, as it were,
they hope to attract large numbers OF
visitors to the city next week with
their fashion shows. Special atten-
ion is being paid to the display win
dows. Buyers have completed their
work and the new fall merchandise
has practically all arrived from the
fashion centers of the east. No one
thinks of going to Minneapolis any
longer in order to buy up-to-date mer-
chandise, for better prices can be Sc
cured right in Minot on goods just as
good and fully as up-to-date. Minot
has stores as good as can beEfound
anywhere in the state. Her mer-
chants are wide awake and are out TO
get the business. MinOt merchants
are consistent advertisers. You never
find shelf worn goods in store that
advertises. 1t will pay you to visit
MinOt next week.

$500 WHEAT.

The United States government has
fixed the price of No. ! Northern
spring wheat at 1920 at Chicago with
corresponding prices elsewhere. This
is keen disappointment to the farm
erS of the northwest who hoped that
the price would not be far from three
dollars a bushel, which would have
been fair, considering the high prices
they have to pay for labor and other
things. Food Administrator Hoover
was placed in a position where he had
to endeavOr to satisfy not only the
producer but the consumer as well,
but he has lived all his life in the en-
VirOnment of the consumers and could
not readily see the farmers side of
the question Even with the prices
of wheat as high as they have been,
bread has been the cheapest food that
a man could set on his table 1t will
do little good to complain now as the
price has been definitely set, but it
is hoped that Mr.. Hoover and his
committee will hasten to reduce the
prices of the things which the farm
ers have to buy. This would, in
way, make up for what he will have
lost by reducing the price Of wheat.
AS the Independent stated last week,
the farmers will not be greatly encour-
aged to SOW large tracts Of wheat by
the present fixed price, for wheat
growing is usually the most precarious
of ventures for the tiller of the soil
Weather conditions must be ideal for
the growing of even fair crop and
with the high prices of hay, feed Of
all kinds and stock, the farmer is apt
to pay more attention to growing
grain to feed to stock. The govern
ment does not say that the farmer
cannot be paid more than 1920 al
bushel for wheat, but this is the price
that the government intends to pay
and this standard is pretty apt to reg
ulate the prices all over the land, for
the United States government today
is the largest purchaser of wheat in
the world
The price Of wheat in Minot today
as agreed upon by the grain dealers
is $2,O2 per bushel for No. /. This
allows them a margin Of three cents
per bushel Grain dealers say their
insurance is higher. their carrying |
charges more and they will have more |
money tied up in grain.
There is no question but what the |
farmers of the Northwest by making |
vigorous kick against the reduction |
in the price of wheat saved them
selves millions of dollars for the COM
mittee undoubtedly would have set
the price at less than two dollars a
bushel. The farmer who is fortunate
enough to grow twenty or thirty
bushel crop of wheat, undoubtedly |
can make good money with wheat.
Old time farmers remember back in |
1895 when No. / wheat was worth
only 81 cents a bushel and rejected |
wheat at that time sold for only 81 |
cents. Those were not war times,
however, and about everything else |
was as low accordingly At that
time, they figured that if they could
only get so cents a bushel for their
wheat, they could make some money.
But then those figures have nothing
to do with present day prices, and
as we stated above, the farmer who
raises but a small crop of two dol
lar wheat will not make any money

A German military authority recently
stated that Germany had Russia in her

interior too far, or to administer too
severe a whipping to the Russians,
who are wanted by the Germans for
their friends and whom they hope to
gain as such by diplomacy.

Impossible to Ship Hay from Reser

w. A. Peck is still working on the
question of solving the hay PROPOSE
ton for Ward county farmers, but the
plans are not yet completed. Mr..
Peck visited an Indian reservation in
the southern part of the state, good
ways from railroad, where hay land
can be secured for 25 cents an acre.
He expected that arrangements could
be made to haul the hay by boat up
the Missouri river to Washburn, but
he learns from the captain that the
river is too low at present to permit
the landing. A number of farmers
from Burlington and Foxholm are
meeting with Mr.. Peck today relative

man, appears to be recovering nicely
from the very serious injury which he
received when run over by an automo-
bile last week. The lad was believed
to have been fatally injured at first,
Tor two wheels of the heavy car ran
across his body, rupturing and tearing
ms liver in horrible manner. The
LAD was rushed to the Ringo hospital
where an operation was performed
very shortly after the accident. Forty
two stitches were taken in the liver
and the operation now appears to
nave been very successful. Roger is
recovering from the operation very
nicely and will soon be out again I'M

A PIC PROFJT

Millers have agreed to maximum
profit of Is cents on a barrel of flour
and SO cents ton on feed beginning
September 1st That looks like a small
profit but thousand barrel mill will
turn in profit of $3.50 day, running
three hundred days a year that would
make profit of $4,000 a year. This
is a big profit as mills often grind
at a much closer price. Uncle Sam is
hurting nobody. If he were to fix
the price of newspapers the price
would be higher everywhere.

Reasons for Jam.
Assistant Manager Rogers Of the
Waldorf figured last evening that the
transient population in New York city
is easily 135,OO0. instead of 100000, as
formerly estimated, and he said it is
constantly increasing. Various hotel
managers said the throngs seeking ac-
commodations in the hotels at present
were greater than at any similar time
in previous years. Automobile week
of course is always heavy.
AS to the reasons for the jam, the
managers held different views. One is
the presence in the city of hundreds
of people who are shopping before

the South. Another is the beginning of
the influx of buyers from every part of
the country. The stock market also is
credited with having attracted to the
city great number Of persons, but the
recent slump has tented to send away
a number of those persons.
Another manager pointed out that
countless persons who ordinarily spend
the winter in Europe or who live there
the greater part of the time have re.
turned to America, and New York is
the only city with the life and gayety
to which they are accustomed. The
