1t is believed that the North Dakota
farmers will receive a little above
$500 a bushel for their 1917 crop of
spring wheat, althO the food commits
sion has not definitely agreed on the
price at this writing. The North Da-
kota delegation who were sent to
Washington Aug. IS, will undoubtedly
save millions of dollars to the North
Dakota farmers by their good work,
but it is not expected that the farm
ers will get all that is coming to them,
at that. Altho the announcement was
made in Washington that Hoover
wanted to give the farmers only S1.65
for their wheat, the food controller de-
clared that he had never made such
statement. The North Dakota dele
cation did not succeed in getting a
hearing before the Garfield Committee
In Washington, but wrote a very care
full brief for the North Dakota farm
ar in order to make it clear why the
price Of wheat should not be cut down
materially. Mr.. Hoover's statement
demOraliZed the wheat market for
many elevator men will not purchase
the wheat at all, fearing that the ar
bitrary price will be too low and
others are buying on what they con-
slider safe margin Of from so to IS
cents bushel. North Dakota farm
ers were induced to increase their
wheat acreage 100000 acres over
1916, thereby utilizing much Of the land
they intended to summerfallow. They
used much of their fax land for wheat
and flax is now selling for S346 a
bushel for September delivery Much
Of the wheat in the winter wheat belt
has already been marketed at the high
price and now the North Dakota
farmers are asked to take consider
able less. The committee fears that
if the price of wheat is set too low,
it will be used as feed for stock. With
corn at the present cash price of s22S
per bushel, cheap wheat is likely to
be fed in preference to corn

Wife Finds Husband With Another
Woman

A man who registered at a local
rooming house Thursday night under
the name Of Adams with another man
wife, was followed to the place by his
wife, who had suspicious that her
husband was acting in an indiscreet
manner. Breaking in the door of the
room occupied by the couple, the wife
attacked both the husband and the
woman most furiously, which aroused
most of the other roomers from their
beds. The woman in the case made
her escape and the man and wife ap-
peared to make up when the husband
promised to travel the straight and
narrow path.

taste to encourage the practice until
the entire country was nauseated.
These performances seem to go by
waves, and there are indications just
now of another kissing campaign be-
fore the soldiers leave.
Girls who ought to know better,
and who generally act better, are
often carried away by these foolish
fads. Nobody knows why it is SO. But
if girls who respect themselves, and
who wish to be respected by others,
knew the sort Of comment that it
prompted by these demonstrations they
would no more think OF kissing a
strange young man than of kissing a
red hot stove lid.

The hunting season is supposed to
open on Sept. 16, according to our
game laws, but this year Sept. 16
falls on Sunday. The Attorney Gen.
erals office naturally interprets that
the hunting season this year will open
on Monday, Sept. II. as a law clear
ly appears on our statute books for
bidding Sunday hunting. There has
been a law forbiddng Sunday hunt
ing in North Dakota for a good many
years but little attention has been paid
to it. The chances are that this year
the states attorneys Of the various
counties will not go out Of their way
to prosecute Sunday hunters, but
law is a law and if anyone should
take the trouble to complain, there is
no doubt but what one could be pros
ecuted for Sunday hunting. A large
number Of hunters undoubtedly will
go hunting on Sunday in North Dako-
ia, just as they have always done.
