FARMERS OPPOSED TO
GR0NVA MEASURE
WESTERN ORGANIZATIONS WANT
THE U. s. TO CONTINUE
GUARANTEED PRICES.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Protests
against the Gronna bill which seeks
to terminate at once the existence of
the United States grain corporation,
were heard by the senate agriculture
committee yesterday from western
farmers organizations and associa-
tions of grain traders.
The bill would have the effect of
weakening the guaranteed govern
mentprice on wheat, the witnesses
said. Farmer representatives urged
new legislation to extend the $2.26
guaranteed price for year or more
beyond June 1.
"You can hang Barnes for all we
care" John A. Simpson, president of
the Oklahoma Farmers union, told
the committee, referring to Julius
Barnes, wheat administrator and
head of the grain corporation, "but
we want the guaranteed price to re-
main. We figure that there are L.
600 cooperative farmers elevators
full of wheat now, on which there
might be a loss if this bill was pass
Z L."
80 Frank Carpenter. also of the Ok
ma Farmers union, expressed
ility to the personnel of the
J-at corporation, but said that the
firmers wanted new price guar
antee to extend through 1920.
H. J. Horan, of Philadelphia,
speaking for the federated flour clubs
of the United States. said that the
flour distributors, the hackers and
the farmers held all the wheat and
flour under present conditions, and
that they also saw a possibility of
loss through breaking prices in case
the measure should become law.
Douglas w. Lackey, appearing for
the Corn Millers' federation, said
that the effect of the bill might cause
a break in prices of all grain and
that the abolition of the grain cor
poration would leave the govern
ment without any way to adjust loss
under the guarantee.

SLOT MACHINES
ARE RA|DED
STATE SHERIFFS DESCEND ON
TWO TOWNS

Aberdeen, Feb. 18.-Deputy State
Sheriffs Glau, of this city, and Wood
Smith, Of Mitchell, have completed a
raid on the slct machines in the
towns Of Peever and Milbank.
In Milbank they found three of the
machines. One was being operated
in hotel which is owned and run
by the town marshal. These ma
chimes were broken into and the pro-
ceeds, which amounted to some $34
will be turned over to the state Of
ficials.
In Milbank the officers broke into
five machines and secured about $98.
This will also be turned over to the
state. A quantity Of chips, which are
"good in trade," was taken with the
machines. A state law prohibits this
form of gambling.
1t is thought that these machines
had been checked over and the con-
tents removed less than a month ago,
and that the amount taken was de-
posted within the time since. It is
a general rule with these outside cor
porations to place the machines in a
business house and then deposit the
keys with local banker, who checks
them over once month and removes
the cash. The banker is given q
commission for this work and the
business house is also given q rake
off.
The machines which were broken
up by the deputy state sheriffs were,
with the exception Of the one found
In the hotel found In pool halls.
