Government. Crop
Report Shows Best
Condition in History

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE 1920
corn crop promises to be the largest
in the history of the country by more
than 90,000,000 bushels.
yield Of 3,216,192,00O bushels,
compared with the previous record
production Of 3.124,746,000 bushels
in 1912, was forecast today by the
department of agriculture from a
condition of 1871 on October 1. The
yield would exceed that of last year
| by practically 100000 bushels.
Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri will
contribute practically all of the in
crease.
Warm and dry September weather,
free from widespread killing frosts,
aided the maturing Of the last crop
and during the month the prospects
for this year were increased by S.
100000 bushels. The frosts near
the end of the month did little dam
age, and the great bulk of the crop
is now safe on that score, govern
ment experts said.
Spring wheat Is threshing out
poorer than had been forecast be-
cause damage principally from rust
had proved greater than anticipated.
The yield was estimated today at
100000 bushels less than was
forecast month ago, this loss re-
ducinp the combined winter and
spring wheat yield to 750,648,0O0

CANADIAN FLOUR CHEAPER
AT BOSTON THAN AMERICAN

BOSTON, Mass.-Boston whole
sale -four dealers and agents Of
western -four mills declare that the
difference in exchange between Can
ada and the United States enables
the Canadian mil1ers to put -four into
Boston a dollar cheaper than the
western millers can, and still make
a larger percentage of profit than
American mills selling at the higher
price. ygt
Boston is now being flooded with
Canadian flour at prices ranging
from rs cents to 81 a barrel cheaper
than American -four. This is on the
grade used by housewives who bake
their own loaves. The -four used by
bakers is sold by the Canadian mill
ers on a closer margin, but even
the smallest margin means great
deal to concerns that buy by the car
load.

New Low Prices
for All Grains in
Chicago Wheat Pits
BY FRED J. MATTESON

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-Wheat re
sumed its leadership of all grain pits
on the board Of trade last week.
Fluctuations in wheat were violent
covering range of 23h cents with
the highest prices on Monday and
new lows since trading in futures
was renewed last July on Tuesday.
All grains made new low prices on
the crop about midway between the
top and bottom.
After the close Saturday the gov
eminent issued for the first time an
estimate of the stock of wheat re-
naming on farms on October /. It
placed the figure at 40 per cent,
which would mean that 450, 900, 900
bushels of the crop had been mar
keted and only 300,000,000 bushels
remained, and was construed as a
very bullish showing. When wheat
made its new low marks Tuesday
predictions were freely made that
farmers would be seized with panic
over the break and abandon plans
for holding their grain for higher
prices, but an increase of only 49,
100000 bushels in western primary
receipts for the week fails to bear
out the forecasts.
Corn withstood we'll the handicap
of a big increase in the government,
because traders figured the recent
slump had sufficiently discounted it.
Rallies are expected but it is believed
they will be of short duration.
Oats displayed Independent
strength all week, tho forced to fol-
low in minor degree the sharp fluc-
tuations in other grains. The May
displayed the greater firmness.

bushels, about 100000 bushels
below the big crop of last year. y
Threshing of oats confirm the
earlier forecast, the indicated yield
being 1,444,362,000 bushels, almost
200, 100000 bushels more than last
years yield.
Altho the tobacco crop showed
loss during September OF 100000
pounds in the expected yield, The
forecast of 1,47S,7SS,000 pounds is
SO, 900 pounds larger than last
years production.

IMPROVEMENT in
PINCREE SCHOOL
Building Enlarged and
New Departments
Are Added

Pingree has very good school
building and is remodeling it and
enlarging it to make 1t very much
better. It has a three-room brick
building with furnace heating
plant and another four rooms are
being added, more than doubling the
size OF the building. In the new
basement there will be a boys lunch
room, manual training room and a
play room and gymnasium. The
ground floor above the gymnasium
will be an auditorium for the amuse-
ments Of the community and in
which t0sgive the school plays and
hold lectures and other public meet
ings. It is to be the community
center. There Is to be a domestic
science room and some class rooms.
The heating and ventilation of the
building will be as perfect as they
can make it. Ample provisions are
being made to have 1t the very best.
"A water system and toilet rooms
are a part of the additions being
made.
Pingree is a comparatively new
settlement made up Of people from
many different places and 1t speaks
well for the character OF the COM
Inunity that they are expanding so
much money to give to youth all ad-
yantages possible harmonizing with
modern things as they are in the
older settlements today. Pingree
never had the reputation Of being
slow or backward or unprogressive.
Its people sometimes make mistakes
but they are making something and
in the grand total they are always
making something good.
B. r. Hudson of Idaho Falls has
the contract for construction of the
building but the Clarke Plumbing
company of Blackfoot has the plumb
ing and W. W. Hayes of Blackfoot
does the plastering. The indications
are that it will be several weeks yet
before the building will be completed
and school opened. We hope the
Pingree people will have house
warming of some kind and give their
friends from over the county a
chance to come in and get better &C
quainted with them and their good
work.

SUGGESTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION
OF REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMITTEE

To the Republicans who were
asking for a solution of the problems
confronting them regarding the fill
ing of the position made vacant by
the death of R. G.. Bills, this paper
has the following suggestions to
make:
7 When the committee meets If it
seeks to endorse Mr.. Robbins 1t is
to be expected that there will still
be tie and the present chairman
will be unable to break the tie, pro-
vided, of course, that there was the
same attendance as at the last meet
ing of the committee.
If Republicans do not want to re-
call the attempted nomination of Mr..
Robbins to fill that position, there
are two means by which it will be
possible to settle the question. One
would be to sacrifice the present
county chairman, asking him to re-
sign and then filling that position
with some other man who is mem
Der of the committee representing
some precinct. 1t would be neces-
sary to select some one who was a
resident of the county seat or of
some place on the telephone line,
where 1t would be convenient for him
to conduct the activities Of the cam
paign for he is the manager. To
those who may wish to retain Mr..
Buchanan and have him authorized
to vote we advise that it would be
necessary to make him committee
man from his precinct. That would
make it necessary for Mr.. Dickinson
to resign as precinct committeeman
and have the committee make Mr..
Buchanan committeeman in his place
and then make him the chairman of
the Republican central committee.
He would then have power to vote on
the tie we mentioned.
If they wanted to preserve Mr..
Dickinson as committeeman from
the second ward and still wanted to
get chairman with power to vote
they might ask Mr.. Buchanan to re-
sign and elect in his place Mr.. Cecil
Clarke, who is a committeeman from
the first ward. If the committee did
not desire to do either of these
things, then it might retain Mr..
Buchanan as chairman without
power to vote on this or any other
tie, discard both candidates in the
present tie, that is Mr.. Robbins and
Mr.. Seeger, and ballot on new men
for the position. In this and all
other votes that might arise there
would be no means of breaking the
tie. If the first suggestion were fol-
lowed, that of electing new chair
man to decide the tie between Seeger
and Robbins, then it would follow
that each side would canvas the new
candidate to see which way he was |
going to vote and If he was not go
ing to vote to suit them, they would |
again try to make tie or to out vote
the other side to prevent the election |
Of the new man as chairman. II
either side rustled enough forces to
out vote the other side and decide
the vote by steam roller method then |
hey would. still have to submit their
to the approval of the
voters to see whether they would APP
prove of the steam roller tactics. In
hat event when the tie was broken
The people might not carry thru the
plan of the majority after such
ong drawn contention.

it is done thru error as persons outside
our own organization have no accurate
way Of deciding this important point.
dodge Brothers have supplied US with
complete records of production so that we
are enabled, thru certain numbers on the
car, to tell just when it was built. There
fore it is apparent that nobody is ever de-
ceived on this point when he buys from
our used car market 1t is also our policy
to overhaul every car we take in before
putting it back on the market. We insist
on having used cars in good condition be-
fore they are sold. This not only makes
satisfied customers, but it tends to main
tain the good reputation of Dodge Broth
ers motor cars.
ut would pay the public to be more
careful in buying used cars. People
should insist on the accurate information
they are entitled to when buying. They
should, above all, know just whom they
are doing business with and try to deter

satisfaction means anything to the person
they are buying from or whether i'm
