WHEAT GROWERS
WILL ORGANIZE
Farmers Should Maintain
Representatives at
Washington.

Dickinson, N. D., June 2S.-The
wheat growers Of the United States
should have their own organization,
maintain representatives at Washing
ton, meet regularly in convention. and
see that fair grades are established
and living prices paid for wheat. The
steel mills all have men at Washing
ton; the railroads, the labor unions,
the fruit growers, the mines, packing
plants and all other industries have
their representatives at the capital.
They get what they want. Why should
4 n farmer who feeds the whole bunch
let these interests defend, their rights
and products while he alone remains
unorganized and must take any grade
or price somebody is willing to pay
him? 80.
There will be an organization meet
ing at Valley City June 20. at Dick
inson at the Commercial club rooms
July l. New Rockford on July 3, Dew
lis Lake July 5, and Cakes on July 6,
to organize a wheatgrowers' a~ssocia-
ton of North Dakota. DIR. Ladd has
officially OK'd the plan. D. e. Shipley.
Farmers union secretary at Bismarck
and w. ]. Motley Of Dickinson, will
explain the plan which will unite all
wheat growers and bring them Justice.
Each county will nave a chairman and
organization, working under a state
board, while the % wheat growing
states will maintain an Office, probably
at Omaha. Delegates chosen from all
the states will meet and formulate
plans for their representations at
Washington to support.
A county organizer is wanted for
each county. The work is not affil,at-
ed with any labor movement. Any
: wheat grower may become a member
and Farmers union, Equity. Grange
Alliance or any other farmer organiza-
ton member is invited to do his part
In lettering the wheat growing indus
try. When Washington learns that
several million wheat farmers have
set their jaws and determined upon
fair grades and prices, they will give
less attention to the steel mills. mack
ing plants and other interests to give
the farmers a hearing. Last spring the
union vas able to get a
hearing when delegates representing
four and one-half million farmers
told Washington they wanted a look
In and to have a word about their
products. They got it, but are just
started. Farming should be represent
ed in Washington every day.
The plan of a national wheat grow
ing body was thought out at the spring
meeting at Washington last year by
this body of d%elegates who a~ppreciat-
ed the small grain growers should or
ganize, stick together. and have COM
petent men constantly looking after
their interest as other successful BUSH
ness men have. Men from twenty
states agreed to join and work for it,
so the North Dakota association will
: become a part Of the nationwide
movement. The dues are very small
and merely v the necessary ex-
penses. In Stark county, the farmers
are very much taken up with the plan
n see in it their only chance to
avoid taking a loss of millions of dol
lars due to unfair grading systems and
other practices which they have been
unable to overcome without a national
organization,

Nicholas seemed to be stunned by
the e~uddenness Of the blow and made
no attempt to resist. He rejected the
suggestion OF one Of his generals that
the Russian lines DO opened toilet the
Germans pass through and deal with
the Canaille in Petrograd," declaring
that he was no traitor. He expressed
the hope that he might be permitted
to live at his palace at Livadia, in the
Crimea. where he loved to stroll with
the empress among the flowers and
woods. Instead he was taken prisoner
to the Petrograd palace whore the
other members Of the former imperial
family had gathered to share his Inn
prisonment. At first the former emper-
or was not closely confined but was
allowed to walk in the garden twice
a day under a guard Of soldiers. His
chief occupation in the first weeks Of
snow on the garden walks. He seemed
to be in good health, displayed inter-
est in what the foreign newspapers
printed about him but was said to
have periods Of crying.
His state as prisoner must have
been in painful contrast with that
which he enjoyed as Russian autocrat.
His private wealth had been estimat-
ed at $4,000, 900, 900, but it was con-
fessed that no accurate idea of its
vastness was obtainable. His income
was believed to exceed $50, 900, 900 a
year. His personal expenses were
placed at $50 a day, but the expense
Of maintaining the royal state were
almost incredible.
When emperor he was classed as
the wealthy man in the world. He
owned several of the worlds most
beautiful palaces and possessed q great
fortune in diamonds, pearls and other
jewels and precious stones. He owned,
1t was said, more than a million
square miles of cultivated land and
forests. One-third o: the output of
Russia's gold and silver mines was
believed to be included in his income.
AT Petrograd he was housed magnif-
Gently In h colossal Winter Palace
but at times h imperial family resid-
ed In some Of the other magnificent
establishments or chateaus where he
and the empress loved to hold court.
1t was reported that he save $780,
900, 600 from his private treasury to
Russia's war fund.
In appearance Nicholas was rather
slender and understood and being SEN
sluVe on that point, usually occupied
the foreground when a photograph
was being made so that his size would
BE exaggerated. His resemblance to
hlng george OF England was often re-
marked. He was blond and wore a full
brown beard. Having no desire for
ostentation, he avoided crowd and
pomp when possible and carried no
airs or bluster. Although as emperor
he was head of the Orthodox Greek
church., both he and his wife were re-
ported to have been Spiritualists, and
1t was said that he often consulted
mediums some of whom obtained
considerable influence over him. His
utdoo pleasures 9 a mild sort
sucn as hoatlng, cycling, sketching,
or playing tennis, Of which game he
was very fond.
