GO AHEAD, MIR. PALMER.

The big five, meat packers of Chi.
ago, who practically control the meat
business and are in partial control of
several other food products, have been
trying for sometime to convince consum-
ers that the margin of profit is remark
ably low on everything which they handle.
They have been advertising their philan-
thropy in the daily papers. They have
been carrying on propaganda in an eff
fort to convince the public that the cold
storage business is conducted, not for the
benefit and profit of those who built the
warehouses and crammed them full of
food products, but for beloved public,
to whose service their lives and property
were devoted. On the other hand, Mr..
A. Mitchell Palmer, attorney general of
the United States, speaking at Governor
Smiths food conference at Albany. N. Y,
is reported to have said that he chad the
goods" on the Chicago packers and that
that no Jury will hesitate in finding them
guilty of a conspiracy 20 control and FOB
the American table. If the packers are
guilty now they were guilty two years
ago and have been guilty every day since
then, If these protiteers can be convict
ed now, they could have been convicted
two years ago There has been no recent
change in the law nor in the fact. 1t is
evident that some sentinel of the law has
been sleeping at his post, but we have
not heard of any court-martial. Is it
possible that the encouragement has
lust got his own eyes open? We hope he
is sufficiently awake to see that the public
will not be satisfied with his New York
hurrah, but demands and have right to
demand, that he proceed with the prosecu-
ton of the offenders and will not let the
case drag along two or three years.
1t has not been forgotten that soon
after we entered the war Congress APP
propriated some S640, 900, 900 for airplane
construction. A few months later the
war department asked for a larger ap-
preparation for the same purpose. A Sen
ate committee made hurried investiga-
ton and found that the money was gone
and that we had not a single airplane
suitable for war purposes A thorough
examination was demanded by the public
and President Wilson told Mr.. Gregory
who was then the attorney general of the
U. S. to make it, and it was inferred that
if there had been any grating the offend
ers would be promptly prosecuted, and, if
found guilty, punished. MIR. Gregory
turned the investigation over to Mr..
Hughes which was a crafty political
move. The latter gentleman spent sew
eral weeks in ascertaining the facts and
we suppose he made report, but as far
as Mr.. Gregory or Mr.. Hughes is con-
cerned in this matter their silence in re-
gard to these facts has been as profound
as is that of the innermost recesses of
the Mammoth Cave, at midnight These
two men will never again appear as lumi-
naries in the political sky. MI. A. Mitch
ell P almer should take warning from their
fate He should realize that he, himself
is on trial at the bar of public opinion.
He must vigorously prosecute the meat
packers. If he does not do so at once, a
discriminating public will write his name

SUGA R E.

We have in this country commission
known as the Omitted States sugar
equalization board" This board is the
adopted child If the food administration
bureau. Senator Hale wrote to this ju-
Tenjle member of Mr.. Hoover's numerous
family, asking the reasons for the present
shortage of sugar, how long the shortage
was likely to continue md what the price
was likely to be in the near future. He
was told that the government intended
to keep the price below Is cents pound
He was further informed that the con-
sumption of sugar in this country during
the last year was about 400, 900 tons more
than it was during the last year before
the war. The families in Belfast, in
Waldo county, in the State of Maine,
aad we feel safe in saying in every other
State in the Union, have not in the last
year been bic to obtain anywhere near
as much as they used in 1914 This ques-
ton naturally follows: Who got all this
400, 900 tons of sugar and the other 800, 900
tons, more or less, which was saved by
enforced economy of these families? An
ticlpating the above query this adopted
son of paralyzed foster father says with
circumlocution and finesse: with the
prospect of higher prices in sight there is
every incentive on the part of the buyer
to anticipate the future" This is merely
the diplomatic way of confessing that ie
protiteers got the sugar. Senator Hale
was also told by this verbose youth that
he had instructed the "American refiners'
committee to form distrbu ing commit
tee" to distribute what sugar was yet to
come from Cuba. Thus has the govern
ment turned sugar control over to the
American sugar trust. Senator Hale was
further informed that the refiners' com
mittee will "start to function next week. "
The functioning should have been started
more than two years ago by the men who
were then appointed and have been paid
to function. 1t should not have been
handed down from Tom to Dick, from
Dick to Harry, and finally given to the
profiteers and to one of the strongest
trusts in this country.

SORLIE. COMES
TO GET PLANT
FOR THE FORKS

Grand Forks, N. D., Mar. 10.-A. G.
Sorlie will leave today for Bismarck,
where he will represent the CONNER
cial club of this city before the indus
trial commission, in an attempt to
have one of the>state owned terminal
elevators located at Grand Forks. Mr..
Sorlie was named yesterday by the
industrial committee Of the club,
which met late in the afternoon.
The committee has been discussing
the matter for several days, and called
one or two meetings before this to de-
side what they should do about the
matter. Deciding that the best way
to put the proposition before the COM
mission would be to send some one
of the club members as a delegate,
they yesterday elected Mr.. Sorlie.
Because Of its facilities, citizens of
Grand Forks believe that this is the
logical point for terminal elevator.

out, at the entrance Of the state, it

Average of $37 Per Acre

THE bureau of crop estimates thru
its state field agent issues the follow

ed States on March /:
This long established custom of TAX
ing stock of farm grain reserves on
March 1st is always of national inter
est. 1t indicates the amount of the
carry over of grains from the previous
crops that the nation has on hand, be-
fore the planting for the new crop
begins. The inquiry for North Dakota
just completed shows that most of the
counties in the eastern third of the
state representing from one-third to
one-half Of the acreage of all cultl-
waited crops has nearly an average or
more than average farm grain re-

age was located in the eastern third OF
the state and with few exceptions the
yield turnout this area last season was
aroun beverage or better. Reserves in
the western tWo-thirds Of the state
with very few exceptions are below
average. This condition is very pro-
nounced in regard to feed crops and
particularly in the northwest quarter
of the state where with the possible
exception of wheat the feed and seed
situation is very short. The cause Of
the very moderate sized wheat reserve
in comparison to the size Of the crop
last year is due largely to the govern
ment fixed price removing the incen-
tive to hold for more favorable price.
This condition with heavy financial
obligations has brought the bulk OF
the wheat itno the market. A notice.

NEW COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT
SPREADING AMONG FARMERS

Last Saturdays meeting of county
agents, with agricultural college and
government workers cooperating in
southwestern North Dakota with the
farmers, brought out the fact that a
great drive is on in North Dakota, as
we'll as in practically every other state
in this great country, which will with
out doubt mean more in hard dollars
as we'll as real progress and success in
farming than any other organized ef-
fort which has ever been made. =.
The war has taught that by organi-
cation and concerted effort Of large
number of people wonders can be ac-
complished in comparison to what an
individual can do working alone. This
principle is to be applied to the farm
ing business. All progressive farmers
and farm-owners will unite in one
great organization for the purpose of
farming conditions, to the
end that farm life maybe more profit
able, and more livable; so that people
on the farms will be more happy and
contented and food production will be
Increased in proportion to the increase
of population and demands the world
over.
This organization is commonly
styled the farm bureau and has al
ready been perfected in a good portion
of the United States. Its activities
reach every phase of farm life and
every individual on the farm. Its sole
and only purpose is to improve farm
conditions. It is non.religious, nom
political and non-everything else but
those things which spell successful
farming.

conditions by cooperative effort, in
