alton, in addressing the
North Dakota Farmer Grain
Dealers association at the

Mr.. ShOrthill was member Of the
federal board which fixed the price of
wheat. DR.. E. F. lLadd, president of
the North Dakotsi agricultural COL

committee. The speaker was discuss.

he made the above assertion, which
was greeted by a whirlwind Of ap-

A big wheat crop is more essential
today than it has ever been before in
American history. There has been
agitation for a higher price Of wheat
to encourage the growing of wheat In
preference to other crops: The ef-
feet of higher price for wheat would
have been to have brought up tho.
price of ether grains. and we would
have the present situation right over
again. except that the consumer
would have to pay higher price for
every cereal that he eats. And the
farmer must remember that If he does
put in bumper crops of Larley and
rye and oats and if he does have a
splendid yield next fall he has no way
Of knowing what he is going ito get
for it. He does know to penny what
every bushel of wheat he raises will
be worth; he knows he can glut the
market with wheat he knows his

matter if every railroad in the coun-

Washington, D. c., March Steel

order that the fixed price for steel
may be stabilized.

it was inconsistent to set price for
the finished product without at the
same time controlling prices Of pro-
ducts entering into its manufacture.
Raw materials of which steels are
made already have come under gov

ARGENTINA PROVIDES GRAIN
Immense Shipments Sent to Allies
Under Reciprocal Plan.

BUENOS AIRES, June 22.-LSrge
shipments of cereals 10 the allies
were made from this port In April in
accordance with the cereal conven-
ton between this government and
those OF Great Britain and FRANCE.
That the cereal convention is
bringing reciprocal advantages to
the Argentine is evident from the
fact that IT of the vessels brought
33,349 tons of general cargo and II
brought 29,950 tons OF coal. In ad-
dition to these, several other ships of
various nationaltes arrived in bal
last to load grain.
Cereals continue to arrive at the
ports of Buenos Aires and Rosario
by the trainload every day and at
Rosario alone the eight allied cereal
brokers have 100000 tons of wheat
stored, in additions to large hold
ings OF cereals. Calculating the
value of this wheat at the price
agreed upon by the allies, the ware
housed wheat at RosaAo alone is
worth 25 million pesos.
Blacklisted and enemy firms also
have stored large holdings OF Ger
Gals the value OF which cannot be
calculated at present.

NO MODIFICATION
EGERMAN LANGUAGE WILL NOT
BE PERMITTED In SOUTH
DAKOTA.

Huron, Aug. 17.-Special. The
executive committee of the state
council of defense has decided to
make no modification of the council
orders No. A and No. 13, both re-
stricting the use of the German Ian
guage in South Dakota. That part
of order No. A regarding the issuance
of permits for using the German Ian
Iguage under certain conditions for
holding religious services has been
considered by the executive commit
tee and it has been decided that
where every part of the church serv-
ices including the sermon, ritual,
prayers, songs, scripture readings
and responses is carried out in the
English language, the minister may
be permitted to give a 15-minute
resume of his sermon in the German
language for the benefit of the old
people who are unable to fully under
stand the English language.
The permission for such, however
will be granted only after the loyalty
of the minister has been attested to
by the authorities OF the community
in which he breaches and by the ex.
ecutive committee OF the county
council in the county in which his
church is located.

FALL SHOOTING
HUNTING DATES ARE CHANGED
in SOUTH DAKOTA.

Pierre, Aug. 17.-When is ii safe
lakes and swamps in search of ducks
this year, is the question being fired
at the state game department every
day. This all on account of the fed
eral government switching its date
since the state law makers tried to
get the state law and the federal law
into harmony. The last legislative
session to make everything run
smoothly changed the opening day in
this state from September 10 to Sep
TENDER 2, so that both opening dates
would be the same. Since that time
the federal date has been changed
for this section of the country to Sep
TENDER 16, and the difference is
greater than ever. About the only
answer to the question as to safe
hunting dates is the time between
September 16, the opening day under
the federal law, and December 20,
the closing day under the state law
This applies to ducks and waterfowl
generally, snipe having been placed
in this class by late legislation. The
fact that the state law opens the sea.
son September Z does not give any
protection against federal prosecu,
ton if there is any hunting before
the 18th.
Under present regulations grouse
and prairie chickens can be hunted
any time after September z. as th'
federal government does not claim
them as migratory fowl. and that Law
does not apply to these birds.

in WAR SERVICE
STATE LAW RELATING TO ABSENT
VOTING OF SOLDIERS.

At the special session of the South Da-
kota legislature, held in March, a law was
enacted relating to absent voting by those
engaged in war service. County Auditor L..
f. Hartwich calls attention to the provisions
of the law which require county auditors to
prepare a record of all qualified electors who
are residents of his respective county, and
who are absent from this state and engaged
in the naval or military service of the United
States. In order to complete this record as
provided by law, Mr.. Hartwich calls upon
residents of the county who have relatives
and friends in the service to furnish him the
names and present address and date of birth
of such men that they may be enrolled ac-
cording to the requirements of the statute.
1t is necessary that this information be
furnished the auditor at once, as the ballots
to- be used at the approaching election must
be mailed on September l.
