Question of Service.
In his address to the bankers,
Wesley c. Mcdowell of Marion, N.
D., former president of the associa-
ton, and one of the most prominent
bankers in the state, made the as
sertion that the question should not
be so much as to the making of 5
or 10 per cent, but as to how much
can be done for the country in the
present crisis. He recommended
that members of the association get
better acquainted with the working
of the Federal Reserve bank and
called attention to the need of coun-
ty organizations to take care of the
crop this year.
w. S. Adams, chairman of the
committee on thrift, reported that
several meetings had been held, but
that no definite program had been
adopted.
Wives of the bankers yesterday
afternoon attended a demonstration
of canning by Miss May Mcdonald
of the extension department of the
agricultural college. Miss Mcdonald
spoke most interestingly about the
canning and preservation of vegeta-
bles and fruits and demonstrated
the canning of asparagus and cauli-
flower. In discussing the drying of
vegetables, Miss Mcdonald advised
that for this year nothing but peas
and perhaps beets be dried.
The work that is being done in
Fargo and the state in Red Cross
circles was told by Mrs. w. B. Han
cock, who made clear the necessity
for every one to do her share for the
large army which the United States
has been called upon TO send to the
front. Emphasis was placed on the
call for socks.
Following the meeting at the COL
lege, the guests were taken in autos
to Prizes where refreshments were
served.

rule to the mills, either in Mime
apolis, in Duluth or at other points.
Give President Power.
my idea which was incorporated
in the food survey bill, is to give
the president power to regulate grain
exchanges when they run wild. Once
in a while there is an attempt to
get up a corner and increase prices
unduly. When that condition arises
would ask the president armed with
his power, to check them up and
regulate the exchanges. believe the
provision ought to be incorporated in
this bill Also"
Will Cut Down Hedging.
Answering question by Senator
Boise Penrose. of Pennsylvania, Sem
ator Nelson said he believed the
nnillers would be satisfied with the
law.
They will get their wheat, COM
pared with what the market price
would be under ordinary conditions,
cheaper than ever. And they will
not have to resort to hedging so
much as heretofore"
Senator Nelson said that those
who attempted to manipulate the
government were like contractors
who grew rich in the same way in
the Civil war.
The men who got rich so quickly
during the Civil war have most of
them sunk into oblivion" he said,
and much Of their gain has evap-
grated. trust the future will have
something like this in store for those
who attempt to bleed the govern
ment now"
The senator also called attention
to the rise in the price of cattle and
hogs while wheat dropped from $3.40
bushel to a little more than 50 a
bushel.
Mr.. Nelson then asked what the
substitute was to be for the grain
exchanges and the export.
Suggests U. S. Buyers. =
THE bill proposes a minimum
price as a substitute" he said. ~
cannot conceive of any other sub
stitute, except to have the agents OF
the federal government at the ter
minal points equipped with money
ready to offer the farmers a spot
price, and a good price, for their
products. Instead Of prescribing the
minimum price in advance, let these
government agents be there with new
kelly, ready to pay the farmers full
value for their grain.
THE grain exchanges do not dare
open today. You can put saving
amendments in this bill until you
are black in the face, but so long as
the government contemplates or an
nounces through Mr.. Hoover or any
body else, that the wheat business
generally is to b controlled and reg
ulated by the government, no man
dare buy any wheat"
