STATE Rail
COMMISSION
TO PROTEST
Aandahl. and Belick to
Omaha to Retain Present
Intra-State Grain
Minimum.

Bismarck, N. D., April 27.-Chair-
man A. ]. Aandahl and Commissioner
Charles w. Bleick will go to Omaha
on May l to attend a conference OF
western railway commissioners on the
perfection of an organization to appear
before the Interstate commerce com
mission In protest against the change
In the intrastate minimum on grain
products in carload lots petitioned for
by the southwestern millers. The
Omaha conference is a result OF a
meeting held last January at Kansas
City and attended by member of the
North Dakota rail board. The seri-
BUSINESS of the situation as affecting
the comparatively small millers in this
state then was impressed upon the
commissioners.
The present interstate minimum
carload Is 10000 pounds, while the
intrastate minimum in North Dakota
and many other states which mill on a
small scale Is $4,000 pounds. The
southwestern millers ask that the
lntrastate minimum be placed on a
parity with the interstate. This would
result in the necessity of merchant
or Jobber who now buys q carload of
North Dakota -four of 100 barrels in
creasing his shipment to 200 barrels,
and, at current prices, tying UP in the
transaction approximately $1,000 more.
The North Dakota rail board will
Strenuously oppose any effort Of the
southwestern millerS to infiict upon
the milling industry Of this state the
higher interstate minimum. s.

permission OF the faculty, for a rally
at the chapel, today. to be conducted
by the students.
Prof. n. p. Dexter. head Of the de-
partment OF oratory. conducted the
usual religious exercises. and spoke in
harmony with the spirit of the times.
He read Acts 20-22:25, which sets
forth the daring OF Paul in going to
Jerusalem in the face of almost GER
tain death.
Some people are born great" he
said. with impressive deliberateness,
some achieve greatness, some have
greatness thrust upon them" We
have accepted this as automatic, but I
90 not believe that IL is even true.
People are born with large capacities
many OF them: many people have
prominence thrust upon them; but
greatness does not come by birth or
chance. Greatness must be achieved.
AS / have read and thought and
heard men speak. have wondered
what the effect OF the war viii be up
on America, and the conviction has
grown that II will make of us a great
nation, We are not great nation
vet; we stand full statured and equal
among the peoples OF earth but we
have not achieved greatness. for we
have the crpdities and weaknesses and
Inconsistencies OF youth. We are a
big country with mighty potentialities.
but we are not a great nation.
In the Revolutionary war. we
achieved independence that we
bought and paid for; we became the
United states; in the Civil war we
achieved Union and Liberty - those /
blessings we bought and paid for, and /
We became a free and united people.
so by this war pray and believe that
We shall become great nation.
And the price will be the same. As
our fathers and mothers. by tears and
prayers, by sacrifice and high ideaIism,
~ loyalty that did not count the cost I
purchased for this country freedom

Mothers gained by it independence; so
hall we today. by tears and prayers,
~ sacrifice and high idealism. by that
anne answering loyalty that looks
My forward and does not count the
ost-so shall we make this great ma
ion."
There was profound attention given
o this brief address. Professor Dexter
his remarks with the follow
ng prayer:
Our Father. make us willing to pay
he price of greatness. Even as Paul
vent on. make us brave to go on unto
erusalem, not knowing the thing that
hall befall us. save that we know that

merchant and one of the leading citi-
zens OF Leal. died at his home here
