All the work given will be Of
the type that is most useful to
students who cannot take a reg
ular course, who never expect
to graduate from the school and
receive the schools diploma. The
studies carried by the Short
Course students will consist Of
both manual work and classroom
discussions. The Short Course
will begin at 8 8:15 a. m. and close
at $50 p. m. each day and will
run five days a week.
Especially valuable to girls
will be the courses in foods and
sewing by Mrs. Johnson. The
practical work in Rapid calcula-
ton given by Mr.. Brown and in
Language by Miss Chase will
will prove Of great interest as
well as value. The work in Cen

and the course in Automobile
care and repair; and general farm

TRUST STARTS
PROFITEERING
MINNESOTA MILkERS DOU
BILE PRICE ON BRAN y
AND MIDDLINGS.

st. Paul, inn.-Millers of
Minnesota, the ''breadbasket Of
the world" doubled the price Of
bran and middlings and slightly
advanced the price of flour, i'm
mediately aftet the interference
with the profits effected by fed
eral regulation Of the food con
mission was removed.
That there is no economic JUS
tification for the advance is
stated by F. w. Peck, associate
in farm management at the col
lege of agriculture Of the Uni
versity of Minnesota. Stock feed
ers, hardest hit by the arbitrary
advance exacted by the milling
combine, declare that the only
reason for the advance was that
the millers found that they had
the power to get the higher
prices-and they exercised their
power, which had been denied
them during the period Of the
actual war.
The day before the federal
regulation was lifted bran was
quoted at S27.73 and niddlings
sold for $29.73. When the feder-
al regulation Of prices was re-
moved the price of bran shot to
SAL a ton, with middlings selling
at SAG. A couple of days later the
price of bran went up another
notch, to $43. a ton. Flour, milled
according to war standards, ad-
vanced 80 cents barrel.
In the meantime the millers
get the advantage of buying
wheat from the farmer at the
government regulated price
There has been no variation
from the government-controle
wheat price paid to the farmers.
There has been no advance sot
any other cost of production OF
flour and the by-products OF
wheat, remain s,ie same.
For some time there has been
a growing feeling that the mill
ers as well as the other interests
of the country have been merely
waiting for government control
of prices of food and feed again,
and advanced the prices where
ever they chose. This instance
seems to be a substantiation OF
that fear.
These persons predict contin-
ued advance in the price of food
stuffs. They cite that under the
speculative system of marketing
wheat, under pre-war conditions,
gamblers were able to put down
the price of grain when they
bought it from the farmer and
then shoot up the price when
they had control of it, thus in
flating the cost of all foodstuffs.
They predict that although this
system is temporarily removed,
the combine will greatly advance
the price of finished wheat pro-
ducts in order to secure recon-
pense and revenge for profits
durinr the period Of government
regulation, and also for profits
lost under the present fixed
wheat price.
