Poor old Walter Johnson. He's

WHEAT GROWERS
OF e STATES
WILL ORGANIZE
To Unite for Better Grades
and Prices, Says Dick
inson Report

Dickinson, N. D.. June 27.-The
wheat growers Of the United States
should have their own organization,
maintain representatives at Wash
ington, meet, regularly in convention
and see that fair grades are estab-
lished and living prices paid for
wheat. The steel mills all have
men at Washington: the railroads,
the labor unions. the fruit growers,
the mines, packing plants and all
other industries have their represen-
tatives at the capital They get what
they want. Why should the farmer
who feeds the whole bunch let these
interests defend their rights and
products. while he alone remains I'M
organized and must take any grade
or price somebody Is willing to pay
him? ,.,.. -,&...,- ....,
There will be an organization meet
ing at Valley City June 20, at Dick
inson at the Commercial Club rooms
July /, New Rockford on July 8, Dew
lis Lake July 5, and Cakes on July 6,
to organize a wheatgrowers' associa-
ton Of North Dakota. DR.. Ladd has
officially OK'd the plan. D. E. Shipley,
Farmers union secretary at Bis
marck, and w. J. Motley of Dickin-
son, will explain the plan which will
unite all wheat growers and bring
them justice. Each county will have
a chairman and organization, work
ing under a state board. while the
20 wheat growing states will main
tain an Office, probably at Omaha.
Delegates chosen from all the states
will meet and formulate plans for
their representatives at Washington
to support.
A county organizer is wanted for
each county. The work is not affili-
ated with any labor movement. Any
wheat grower may become member
and Farmers union, Equity, Grange
Alliance or any other farmer organ
ization member is invited to do his
part in lettering the wheat growing
industry. 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,
packing plants and other interests to
give the farmers a hearing. Last
spring the Farmers union was able
to get a hearing when delegates rep
resenting four and one-half million
farmers told Washington they want
ed a look in and to have a word
about their products. They got it,
but are just started, Farming should
be represented 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 delegates who
appreciated the small grain growers
should organize, stick together, and
have competent men constantly look
ing after their interest as other sue
cessful business men have. Men from
twenty states agreed to join and
work for it. so the North Dakota as
ISOLATION will become a, part of the
nation wide movement The dues
are very small and merely cover the
necessary expenses. In Stark county,
the farmers are very much taken up
with the plan and see in it their only
chance to avoid taking loss of
millions of dollars due to unfair grad
ing systems and other practices
which they have been unable to
overcome without a national or
ganization.

Jack Knight had left the club, and
that other players were on the verge

Nick Altrock has committed Hgny
jokes on the ball field, but none to
equal the one he pulled at the expense
of the Detroit Tigers the other day.
The Washington comedian stepped
out on the slab and licked Hughey
Jennings men in a. regular American
league contest. The laugh certainly
wasn't on Nick, who hadn't pitched a
game in two years, and who was re-
garded as absolutely through as a.
pitcher. Nick gave up only eight hits,
famed two batters and issued only
one pass. The chances are he will be
used often this season by Manager
Griffith.

3 New York, June 17.-(Special)-
The brains and energies Of the
young men graduating from colleges
all over the country this summer
must be conferred on winning the
war. The thought the new gradu-
ate has of becoming a captain of in
dustry must be entertained solely
with the idea that mastering a given
work will make him Of greater value
in saving democracy.
Speakers of international proni-
hence, speaking at exercises, have
made this plain.
'Tt is the supreme task Of civiliza-
ton to put an end to Prussianism,"
said Secretary Daniels in his address
to the graduates Of Columbia Uni
versity recently. And Lord Reading,
British ambassador to the United
States, from the same platform re-
echoed Lansing's message. Lord
Readings wife has been impressing
it upon the minds Of mothers and
fathers of graduates.
Speaking to the CoIumbians Lam
sing said:
Prussia wickedIy sought war and
Prussia shall have war, and more
war, and more war, until the very
thought Of war is abhorrent to the
Prussian mind.
Americas Spirit.
80 read the spirit of America.
So read the supreme purpose Of
the allies. Victory lies before US,
and beyond victory a just and en-
during peace. Until that peace is
sure, America cannot and will not
put aside the sword.
To listen to the proposals for a
Prussian peace, to compromise
with the butchers of individuals
and Of nations so that they
would, by agreement, gain a
benefit from their crimes, would
be to compound an internation-
al felony, which this Republic
will never do.
'F'orce is the one way to end
PrussianisIn, for it is the only thing
that the Prussian respects. This
war for democracy must be Waged
to a successful conclusion, to make
liberty and justice supreme in the
earth. It will be a bitter struggle,
with lights and shadows, for the foe
is strong and stubborn; but in the
end we shall triumph, for we must
triumph or abandon all that is worth
