Henriksen, who is also president Of
the board of education of the AL
berta school ought to be proud of his
two boys as Stevens county's best
corn growers. Glen has the distinc-
tion of winning the third prize now
for four years. in succession. Mr..
Plocker's superior ability in farming
is we'll reflected in the ability of his
son Glen, who is easily going to be-
come one of Minnesota's best corn
growers and farmers. The presi-
dent of the club is Adrian Devereau
whose acre of corn was one of the
very best this year. For three
years now this clubs members re-
presented Stevens county at the
state fair.
In the pig contest the first hon
ors we're again won by Joseph Busch,
who won the same prize last year.
He won it by his Duroc-Jersey pig.
The judge says that this was the
best pig he has ever seen in Judging
in the various fairs. Joe sold his
winner pig to enterprising parties
near Hancock for a handsome figure.
The second prize in Duroc-Jerseys
was won by Valentine Tremain, Sec
retary of the Alberta Boys Pig Club.
Valentines pig was a beauty, and
deserved the honor. Other club
members won nice prizes in this con-
test. 1t was gratifying to see so
many boys and girls exhibit their
pigs at the county fair. Alberta and
Chokio we're most prominent. Henry
Busch, brother of Joe, won a fine
prize on his pig that weighed 218 lb.
when only about five months old.
This pig will weigh about 900 lbs.
when full grown. Henry is to be
congratulated and so is his father,
Stevens county's best hog grower,
Ben Busch. The club and the whole
school feel proud of this victory at
the fair. Some of these boys will
no doubt be members of the boys
camp at the state fair next fall for
a whole week free Of charge to them.
The Alberta school exhibit in the
educational building won many
| splendid prizes, amounting to quite
large sum this year again. A COM
pIete report will be published soon.

Dogs Killing Sheep

Hancock Record Tuesday night
a dog chased George BOWen's sheep,
killed three and mangIed three more
so badly they will die. George heard
the noise and on going out saw the
dog make off across the fields to the
west and it is reported that a dog
also chased the flock on the Chas.
Marsh farm and ran some of the
sheep through the fences over to Or
rim Reeds place few days ago.
Dogs got at Orrin Reeds sheep
Sunday night, and mutilated six of
the animals so badly that two had to
be killed and there is but little
chance of saving one or two more.
Sheep raisers should remember they
have right to kill any dog found
worrying animals on their farms off
hand and dog owners should remem-
ber that they are subject to heavy
fine of SIS a day for every day they
keep a dog after being notified that
the said dog chases or worries dom
estic animals.
Since putting the above item in
type we learn that a week ago Char
ley Metzger, on the Hillview farm
lost twenty sheep killed by dogs.
He had just bought bunch to feed
and paid $11 head for them. Four
teen were killed outright and six so
badly mangled that they died day
or two later while a number more
of the sheep were worried more o.
less. For the past several years
farmers around here have been ship
ping in several thousand sheep each
fall to feed and have been raising
more year by year but if this sheep
business is to be a profitable one this
dog question will have to be settled
and settled pretty sudden.

ONE CAR GIVEN FIVE
DIFFERENT GRADES
Elevator Man at Minneota Makes
Out Strong Case Against the
Federal Grades

Minnesota Mascot. Every eXper
wanted to see the farmers get
square deal, protested against the
federal inspection when the matter
was up in cOngress-but there was
no attention paid to what they said.
Now we are facing a condition,
such as is outlined in the following
statement furnished us by the man
ager of the Dahl Elevator Co., of
Minneota, Mr.. T. F. Dahl, a grain
man of more than the average know
ledge and experience in the matter
of handling grain:
AN ELEVATOR MANS STATE
MENT
Il have just had quite an expert
ence in the matter of the grading
of a car of wheat, that is hard to
beat On Sept 27 we shipped car
C1O2,660 to a local mill. We took
a sample Of this car and sent it to
the Z. S. Food Administration and
they returned grade of No. 1
Northern. The federal inspection at
the mill gave us sample grade. We
then had this car forwarded to Min
neapOlis and the inspection was Civ
en- as No. 1 Red Spring. This we ap-
pealed and inspection returned No.
Red Spring. On the last appeal
they gave us No. 4 Northern Spring.
Can you beat it? Five different
grades on one car of wheat and all
federal inspection! I suppose if we
could have had this car inspected
few more times we might have re
ceived a few more grades. There
must be good money in it for the
mills if they can buy 81 II lb. wheat,
that contains no smut and no cookie,
at a discount of from to 10c per
bushel
"If a farmer should drive up to
our elevator with a load of heavy,
clean wheat, and we should tell him
we would have to discount him 1OC
a bushel, he would tell us that he
would take his wheat home and let
it rot before he would submit to any
steal of that kind.
''It seems that the only solution
of this will be to return to the old
Minnesota grades or else sell this
wheat on it's merits, regardless of
what it grades. There is much

HOOVER TELLS WHY
PRICE WAS FIXED
Interests of Producers and Consum-
ers Considered.-Farmers Guar
anteed Against Loss

l. PTiCe-fiXing OF wheat was an
absolute necessity as a war measure.
It is vital to winning the war.
2. The price agreed upon for this
years wheat crop was set by a COM
mittee of twelve, six of whom were
either actual farmers or directly re-
preventative Of farmers interests.
8. This price is not satisfactory
to anyone. Consumers would like for
it to be lower, producers would like
for it to be higher.
4. The length of the war and the
ultimate outcome will be probably
affected very materially by the at
titude farmers take. This is the
time for farmers to be patriotic with
wheat
5. The price for this years crop
has been set and it will not be
changed. Farmers should ship their
wheat now, before transportation is
tied up with corn and coal
6. Congress gave the price-fXing
commission power to set a price only
on wheat, meal, flour, beans and pot
atoes. This power should have been
extended to other things also.
Z. The 1918 price, $500 at the
principal primary markets, was set
by Congress. 1t is a minimum price.
If peace comes and the wheat now
tied up in India, Russia and Aus
tralia is released farmers might have
to take a much smaller price than
this were it not for the guarantee by
Congress. This is an absolute guar
antee.
8. This minimum price on wheat
may make wheat the most profitable
crop farmers can raise.
9. The vital Importance of con-
serving our wheat resources makes
it the patriotic duty of all of us to
eat something besides wheat and
feed something else than wheat, even
though it costs us more, wherever
possible for us to do so.
10. World conditions were such
that had the government not taken
charge Of the wheat supply, the price
might have gone so high that our
country would have been torn with
IOOu IlOIS Ill ClII6S, anu SIIlh6S
throughout the country. Or it might
have been forced much below the
price set by the government.
II. Remember at all times that
victory for our nation demands that
we raise and conserve all the wheat
we possibly can. Any sacrifice we
make for this is small beside the sa-
crifice of the boys whom we are at
tempting to feed with this wheat
This is the message Of Herbert
Hoover to the people Of Oklahoma
1t was delivered by J. w. ShorthiIl
a member of the federal pricefxing
commission and one of the board of
five directors of the United States
wheat corporation, the organization
in charge of this years wheat crop
1t was part Of a talk given by Mr.
ShOrthilI before members of county
councils of defense, editors and other
citizens in Oklahoma City on Friday
Sept. 28. The speaker was sent tC
Oklahoma directly by Mr.. Hoover.
Mr.. ShOrthill emphasized the fact
that it is absolutely necessary that
the government take charge of the
wheat crop. And also that this is

GOVERNOR SIGNS
AND VETOES BILL
Puts His Signature to One
Measure and Puts the AK
to Two Others

In approving the House bill in
creasing salaries of Philadelphia
magistrates from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year Governor BrumbaGgh to-day is
sued statement in which he said
that while he has opposed increases
he is mindful of the fact that the
minor judiciary has responsible du-
ties and determines many cases that
would otherwise get into the courts
and increase expense and delays.
The impelling reason for approx
ing this bill is the fact that these
magistrates pay rent for their offices
and employ at their own expense a
clerk and also bear from their SAL
aries the cost of stationery, stamps
and other office supplies. The net
salary is inconsiderable and II men
of the type worthy to serve are
chosen they should be given this
salary. Others should not be allow
ed to serve" concludes the Governor.
The Governor vetoed the. House
bill providing that Allegheny county
orphans court judges should fix sal
aries of assistant clerks, holding that
the salary board should pass on the
salaries and that If such power was
to be given to the judges it should
be uniform throughout the State.
In vetoing a House bill to refund
money paid by Pittsburgh concern
for oleomargarine license the Gov
ernor says there is nothing in the
bill to show that the company was
misled by any State official and that
IL mistake was made it was the
company's own act.
Governor Brumbaugh to-day We
toed a bill which was an echo of
the special session of the Senate of
1888. 1t was to pay $500 to the es-
tate of the late Joseph P. Kennedy,
who was a senator from Philadel-
phia. The Governor says that the
bill was designed to pay the senator
for attending the session. THE
claim is ancient" says the Cover
nor. mo reason is given for this
long delay. No assurance is given
that he attended this extra session.
The title provides for a refund and
the body of the bill provides not for
refund but for a payment. The
fact is that there is no refund in
volved. 1t is claim made after a
third of a century and is not sup
ported by sufficient evidence to war
rant its recognition. This claim
should have been attended to long,
long ago and this delay does not add
to the credibility of the obligation"
