BEAN PRICE DIFFERENCES

Ninety car loads of beans have Deen
shipped out of Fowler since the har-
vest, according to the Fowler Trib-
une. There have been but few
moro than nine shipped out of Ord
way. What is the contributing cause
of this difference? Is it because
Fowler has been paying more for
beans than has been paid in Ordway?
If that is the case, ana il is what the
growers tell us. then can we expect
farmers to buy their goods in Ord
wav? II Is quite natural that II they
s-ell their beans In Fowler the Fowler
merchants are the ones who will sell
them the machinery which 1t requires
to grow the beans.

CONTRIBUTORS TO FUNDS

Contributions to the Y. NJ. C. A.
fund for this county have amounted
to a total of over S1.70O The New
Era did not publish the list of those
who contributed to this fund because
there are a great many who gave lib
orally to the Red Cross. knights of
Columbus and other funds and who
also bought literally CT Liberty Bonds
and who felt that they had done all
they could do at the time so did not
contribute to the Y. NJ. C, A. fund,

not the others it would. we deem,
