ROBBERY, ISN'T 1T?

The North Dakota Experiment Sta
ton traced a car sold as 'feed wheat"
to market. The farmer got $653.01 for
it. 1t was re-sold in Minneapolis for
$4,000. 1t was milled and wholesaled
for $1,66O.15, then retailed to the pub
lie for $2,O17.
Another car of "feed' wheat brot
the farmer $876.O5. The consumer paid
$2,2s3.43 for it when retailed as mill
products.
Another car of "feed" wheat, sold
by the grower for $814.97, cost the
public So, 1O7.93 when milled.
Another car of "feed" wheat brot
the farmer $1,034.49, and after mid
clemens and miller's costs and profits
had been paid, the consumer paid
$2,330.73 for it.
Of the amounts paid by the con-
sumer, the farmer get 81 to "A per

cent and the retailer 81 per cent.
The investigation led DR.. Ladd to
charge conspiracy on the part OF
middlemen, elevator and milling inter-
ests to use the word shortage as an
excuse for robbing both farmer and
consumer. He discovered that, con-
trary to the laws Of Minnesota, the
buyers made new grades for the grain
and are buying this excellent milling
wheat as "feed wheat" and only fit for
grinding for feed. This "feed wheat
is resold at Minneapolis under the
states legal grades, and at great
profit, as fine milling wheat.

RESULTS IN PORK PRO-
DUCTION CONTEST

The results in the fourth Annual
Pork Production contest indicates that
North Dakota feeds fed to pigs pro-
duce quick and economical gains.
Kenneth Wood of Arvilla won the
first prize of $50 on litter of IL pig
that at 2O8 days weighed 2673 pounds.
He fed principally barley, skim milk
and pasture with a little corn and
screenings-223 pound pigs in seven
months on feeds that can easily be
produced on the North Dakota farm.
Miss Edith Penno won second place
on litter of eight pigs that weighed
2O78 pounds at 229 days old. She also
fed principally barley, skim milk and
pasture with little bran, shorts and
screenings. The contestants that Sc
cured the best results used skim milk
and pasture with mainly barley, corn
or oats as the grain feed. Some screen
ings, bran, shorts and house Stops were
also used by some Of the contestants.
Most of the pigs were narrowed in
April and the contest closed Novem-
Der 20, when the pigs were weighed up
by the county agent or some one from
the Experiment Station. The contest
ants were sent circulars of informa-
ton on economical pork production by
the Agricultural Extension depart
ment of the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college and each contestant sent
in weekly reports on the feed used. "A
study of their feed reports and the
weights reported by the judges brings
out the fact that the contestants pro-
duced marketable hogs in seven
months from spring pigs fed on the or
binary farm feeds. The pigs returned
more than market price for the feed
consumed.
Prizes amounting to 1910 were Of
fered as we'll as some special prizes
for contestants using Yorkshires or
Duroc-J erseys.
The boys and girls who have enter
ed the contest and stuck by it till fin
|ished deserve a good deal of credit.
They have demonstrated that the COM
mon farm foods fed to spring pigs in
diligently will bring them to mark
etable size in seven months at a profit.

Not only has North Dakota more
has better dairy cows. The large
number of silos that are built every
year, the large acreage Of alfalfa and
clover being planted, the number of
well constructed dairy barns, and the
interest taken in cooperative testing
associations and breeding circuits, all
point to the improvement of the North
Dakota dairy COW.
However, North Dakota's progress
has not been confined to production,
for her creameries are making more
butter than ever before, showing that
farmers Of North Dakota patronize
home industry and that the creamer-
les turn out high quality product,
on account of which they are able to
pay the very best prices.
In the year ending June, 1916, there
was produced in the state Of North
Dakota approximately twenty-five mil
lion pounds of butter, for which the
farmers of the state received nearly
six and one-half million dollars.
North Dakota can point with pride
to the wonderful growth Of its dairy
industries, and it will not be long
before the nation will look to this
state for her butter, as she already
does for bread, for, with its broad
prairies and fertile valleys, North Da-
kota is destined to become one Of the
leading dairy states of the Union.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn or callus 90 It lifts
off with fingers.

e.
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on
tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens 80 it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. It is
fine stuff and acts like charm every

COMMISSION RULES
ON COAL DELIVERY
RAILROADS ARE PERMITTED TO
USE ANY KIND OF
CARS

At a regular meeting of the rail-
road commission of Nevada, held
Sept. IA, the following resolution
and ruling was adopted:
Whereas, the outlook with respect
to the fuel situation in the state of
Nevada for the coming winter is ex-
tremely serious, owing to the unpre-
cedented demands being made not
only upon the fuel producers, but
also upon the rail carriers for equip
ment, such demands having been
caused principally by war conditions,
and,
Whereas, this commission can see
no logical reason why consignees re-
ceiving fuel should not accept same
for delivery in any class of equip
ment, whether gondola cars, box or
livestock cars, such consignees be-
ing extremely fortunate in having
their orders filled for delivery in any
class Of equipment; it is therefore
Ruled: That all consignees in the
state of Nevada handling coal, coke
or wood, be hereby notified that they
are expected to accept the same for
delivery in any class of equipment
which the rail carriers may find
available for transporting the same,
and the action of railroads in fur
nishing such equipment will be APP
proved by the commission.

NEVADA RAND NOW
PLANNING A MILL
REPORTS TELL OF GROWING
ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT
THE DISTRICT

Encouraged by the development
of rich ore on the $50, $50 and
$50 levels, together with steadily
improving conditions on the $50,
the Nevada Rand company has de-
finitely decided on the early con-
struction of a ten-stamp mill. The
plant will be provided with special
devices to effect a maximum metal
recovery at a minimum expense,
and will be so constructed that ad-
ditional units may be installed with
ease.
more than defray the entire cost of
the mill, and a large tonnage of
high grade silver-gold ore is block
ed put on the main level. Con-
siderable mine equipment will also
be provided. On the $50 level the
east drift has entered material
showing silver and gold and is ex-
pected to intersect the main ore
body in the near future. This is
the ledge which yielded bonanza
ore on the $50 level.
The Queen Regent Merger Mines
company has completed plans for
more comprehensive work. Much
new work is proceeding from the
500 level and within a short time
it is planned to comprehensively
conduct development from the
6OO-foot point. A large tonnage
of shipping ore is in sight and early
shipments have been decided on.
At the Copper Mountain, oper-
ated by the Jumbo Extension COM
pany of Goldfield, shafts 2 and 8
are rapidly nearing the ore channel,
opened by No. l and it is planned
to u shipments in the near
future. The Miller-La Pate lease
has sunk the shaft another 100 feet
and opened additional reserves of
high-grade ore. Shipping facili-
ties have been improved and the
lease will resume production very
shortly. The new work has demon
strated that the ore bodies are
persistent, with high values on
tinuing at depth.-Western Nevada

NEW YORK, Sept. II. The
general trend of the stock market
in the last week was toward a lower
level, although there were occasion
al rallies, which in one instance
amounted to a vigorous recovery.
A notable feature of h trading
was the absence of sustained de-
mand on the rise and even substan-
TALLY lower quotations for stand
ard stocks failed to attract an in
curry large enough to give the a
ket a material accession of strength.
Liquidation was carried further,
resulting in a falling away OF prices

were the lowest in years. Notw1th-
standing the rapidity of the decline
at times, however, the market was
held in hand and good support was
offered when needed to prevent too

tablished investment issues.
The downward movement was
furthered by free speculative selling
and traders found no difficulty in
uncovering weak points. Som of
the war stocks and other specula-
tive favorites proved extremely yul-
/ cradle to such pressure and gave
way rapidly until the decline was
checked by over-selling.
The weeks irregularity was at
tributed primarily to the continued
Obscurity of the outlook. The
troubled internal situation in Rus

of the immediate factors. Exchange

At a recent melting of the Elko

the body was called to a number of
county and Idaho, which had been
granted licenses by the liquor board
to conduct saloons. Idaho officials
assert that Elko county officials
are not cooperating with them in

that resorts in Twin Falls are kept

across the line. The grand jury
was urged to consult with the liquor
board in an attempt to mitigate the

been noted on the 900-foOt level,

shipments continue at the present

within a short time be possessed of
a sufficient treasury with which to

The recent developments in the
