The same report had it that Post

The story of this ruction in the
democratic ranks follows close on the
heels of the report that Senator Bo-
rah, republican irreconciliable on the
league Of nations. had notified the re-
publican national committee not to
make any further engagements for
him to speak. This report gave the
democrats considerable joy. But as
a matter of fact. there is likelihood
that the differences, in, the republican
ranks will be patched up.
Senator Borah said yesterday that
there had been no change in his atti-

ceipts of 16,500 cattle locally with
$4,000 at Chicago and news of a

cline at the opening of around Csc,

ception of Gamers and cutters which
were steady to weak. Veal calves

South st. Paul, Mimi, November
20, 1920-The feature of last weeks
live stock trade was the continued
rushing of hogs to market. \The ava
lanche of hogs numbering more than
half million at the seven princi-
pal markets forced prices to the low
est levels for nearly four years.
Average cost of packers and shippers
droves fell to 1926 on Wednesday
with top hogs at $3.50. After the
recess, lighter receipts bolstered the
market, and top hogs sold at $40

at the close, with bulk at $3.50 to
$9.40, and small lots of heavy pack
ing hogs at 1915 to $500. The
weeks loss amounted to about SITS
per cwt.
The general consumption of poul-
try on Thanksgiving hurt the market
for dressed lamb and mutton, and
live prices broke badly, closing last
week unevenly 25c to $1.00 lower,
with feeding classes showing the
most loss. Best fat lambs closed at
$1,000 and best fat ewes at $500.
The liberal run of cattle last Mon
day forced prices around 25c lower.
The market recovered before Thanks
giving, wiping out all of the loss,
and the market closed mostly steady
with week ago, except Gamers and
cutters, best she stock and bologna
bulls which finished around a quarter
higher. Bulk of the medium and
common beef steers are selling from
$500 to $500, with butcher cows
and heifers mostly from $4.25 to
$6.75. Gamers and cutters are SELL
ing from 1925 to $500. Prices of
veal calves lost $l.00 for the week,
with best lights at $11.00 at the
close.

Messrs Spaulding & Willett, local
aviation promoters have recently re-
ceived the assurance from w. A. Kid
der, president of thes Curtiss North
west Airplane Company Minneapolis,
that the Barron Aviation Field at
Osakis has. been listed among their
aviation fields and will be shown on
the map that this company will get
out this winter. Mr.. Spaulding has
been working to this end for some
time and the recognition of Barron
Field will not only be of advantage
to the local aviation promoters but
will be great advertisement for
Osakis as a live aeronautical center.
Mr.. Spaulding says that they plan
building hanger on the field in the
spring.-Osakis Review.

Mrs. VIM. Gerllach writes The
leader from University hospital,
Minneapolis, concerning the condition
of her husband and his brother, Carl,
who were injured in a dynamite ex-
plosion short time ago. Mrs. Ger
ZACH says thatSCarl has sight in his
right eye, but that his left eye is
punctured. He still faces the posi-
bility of an operation on his left eye,
but is up and around. William, she
says, is totally blinded in his eye, but
is able to distinguish little with his
right eye. All of the swelling has
not yet left his face and it is still a
question whether or not he will be
able ITO see at all. Williams nose
was broken in the accident, a fact

information obtained by the commit
tee, he said, was that some SOC, 900
people in that city are not properly
housed. He estimated that there are
probably 100000 people in this
country who are not housed as they
should be for health and sanitary
conditions.
81 went into one congested district
in Chicago and found an average of
seventeen persons to home there.
In one week there were eighteen men
to be taught in Chicago. Much of the
crime was due undoubtedly to the
failure to provide proper homes for
the children.
"There are a number of causes for
the shortage of homes in this coun-
try. In The first place it costs too
much to build now, and men will not
put their money into buildings un-
less they can obtain an adequate re-
turn on the investment. The evil
dence submitted to the committee
showed that window glass in the
creased in price 800 per cent in the
last four years and plate glass has
increased 400 per cent.
"The committee learned that the
plate glass manufacturers, although
they had orders to be filled, shut
down their works so as to keep up
the prices. The committee intends
to send the testimony taken in this
connection to the Department of JUS
tice in the hope that prosecutions
may follow if they are warranted.
Certainly, it would appear that there
was an attempt to restrict trade.
1.-The cost of labor is up, too,
though nowhere near the cost Of tvari-
Gus building materials. The cost OF
lumber was way up. 1t has come
down somewhat, though it seems to
be unique in that respect

CONGRETS TO ACT
ON farm LOANS
REPRESENTATIVES, OF MIDDLE
WEST WAIT ACTION TO RE- -
LIEVE SITUATION
COAL PRICES ARE TOO HIGH
WILL DEMAND CUT OF PRICES
TO MEET NEEDS OF
THE PEOPLE

Washington, d. C.-Senators and
representatives Of the agricultural
states of the west will be called in
conference early in the short session
of Congress, which convenes Deem
Der s, to see what can be done by
the federal government to help farm
ers as result of the big drop in
prices on farm products, Senator
Kenyon of Iowa said today on return
ing to the national capital.
Senator Kenyon is chairman Of the
Labor and Education committee
which has been investigating hous-
ing conditions in the United States.
The committee has not limited itself
merely to the field assigned by the
Senate but was studied construction
problems in general So far as the
housing problem is concerned, Sena-
tor Kenyon said at least 100000
homes are needed to take care of the
country's needs. Financial air from
the government to individuals to
build these homes will be urged on
Congress.
Farmers of the Middle West, Sena-
tor Kenyon said, are compelled to sell
their crops at prices below cost. He
believes it is the duty of the Federal
government to take such steps as will
relieve this situation. Unless the
farmer can make at least cost OF
production on his crops, the senator
said, agriculture will be discouraged
to the point where the future of the
nation will be. endangered seriously
The farmer, he insists, must be en-
abled at least to break even on his
business or there will be drift away
that will result in underproduction
and in the end in national famine.
Senator Kenyon verified the report
that an effort will be made to. re-
vive the War Finance corporation so
that surplus crops can be sold abroad.
At present there is demand for the
wheat and corn of this country in
Europe, but because of lack OF credit
on the other side the transactions
cannot be completed. Revival of the
war finance corporation would solve
this problem in the opinion of Sena-
tor Kenyon.
In addition to other subjects stud
led by the Kenyon committee the
Goa question was taken up. Govern
ment control of the mines will be
urged by Senator Kenyon, he said
unless the operators speedily bring
down the price of coal. Because OF
the heavy output at the mines in the
past few weeks there has been a
sharp decline in coal prices. The Iowa
senator believes that there should be
bigger reduction. The cost of pro-
.duction, he insists, is still far below
the prices being enacted of the pub
lie.
Concerning the housing problem,
Senator Kenyon said Federal home
bank plan should be worked out at
the short session of Congress.
Continuing he said:
81 believe it is imperative that
something should be done. The pres
ent situation is creating a great deal
of unrest. Home owning is a great
cure for Bolshevism. The man VINO
owns his home will give little atten-
ton to radicalism of that kind"

inps of committee in Chicago. The
