|SPRINGFIELD'S ANNUAL
FOOD SHOW BIG EVENT

The Fourth Annual Food Show to be held in Conven-
ton Hall, Springfield, Missouri, February l6-17-1S-19-2O-
21, promises to far exceed in exhibits and in interest the
three previous shows. The Country Store" a feature OF
former Food Shows, will be the big attraction this year.
The bargains to be offered at the Country Store are I'M
usual inasmuch as the headiner will be a Billy Goat and
the management announces that it is'such bargains that
will help to bring down the high cost of living.
Fifty-seven varieties of exhibitors, including every
industrial line from the baking of bread and biscuits to
the cleaning of shoes and gloves.
Those in charge of the Show this year have secured
the best music and entertainers, both local talent and
that from the Pantages Circuit so that nothing will be
lacking for the crowds to be not only amused but also to
see the great strides that are being made in all lines of
industrial activity.
Many of the exhibitors will give free novelties that
will be greatly appreciated by every housewife. Every:
body is urged to attend. Remember the dates, February
16-17-18-19-20-21.

Meyer Milling Company
Carefully Tests Wheat
To Insure Quality Flour

The purity, the wholesomeness, the
%nutritive value of the food we eat
determines largely the health and
progressiveness Of the community.
Having recognized the truth, the
Meyer Milling Company some ten
years ago established a laboratory in
connection with this plant at Spring
field, the purpose of which is to pro-
tect by every means knowp to modern
science the quality of Model and
Albatross -four. 1t was more or less
of an innovation at that time, though
i'll the last few years the larger mills
Of the country have generally become
aware of the value of such an add
ton, with the effect that a better
quality of -four is being offered thu
consumer today than at any time il
the past.
Mansfield mirror. (Mansfield, Wright County, Mo.) 1908-1957, 1920-02-12

A laboratory must depend for its
success upon the ability of the
chemist in charge. The chemist, after
careful analysis, decides upon a
standard for both wheat and flour,
after which his duty lies in keeping
up the quality of the daily output to
the point at which it will exactly
agree with the quality of the
standard.
In order to accomplish this, wheat
must be carefully graded and selected
so that continuous uniformity is as
sured. This item requires quite a
little of thought and attention, be-
cause the different wheat producing
sections produce varying qualities OF
wheat. As a further test, the foul
IS it comes from the mills is analysed
and baked into bread before being
shipped, so that the chances for turn
ing out a grade of inferior quality are
! reduced to a minimum.

To Purchase
Directly
BY F. S. Austin

Wheat and other grain prices are
still going up following a rise of
twenty cents nearly a week ago. Mon
day No. 1 Northern rose to $1.64
locally according to quotations made
by the Farmers Mill & Elevator COM
the grain in this state is
staying in its bins and in storage
without the farmers as a body show
ing any signs of yielding to the tol-
erance of the grain gamblers who are
apparently forcing up the market in
an effort to cover short selling on the
exchanges of the east,
A careful survey made Of the sta
te shows that from fifty to sixty per
cent of the crop is still in the farm
ers' bins unhauled or in storage. The
farmers are sticking in an effort
seemingly not to take too great a
loss in the general decline of neces-
sites of life. Most of them appear
however, willing to take proper
tionate loss along with merchants but
see no reason why the profit of sew
eral years should be wiped out en-
tirely.

MEETING OF 300 BANKERS IN
APPROVAL OF SUPPORT TO THE

AND Of AID IN SALE OF BONDS
County Treasurers Urged To Refrain From With

ers Appear Harmonious.
FORGET POLITICS, IS PLEA OF GOVERNOR
BY SIDNEY w. HOOPER

BISMARCK, N. D., Dec. 8-Wholehearted sup
port of the bankers of North Dakota to the state ad-
minstration and to the State Bank of North Dakota
in the developement of the industrial program and
the sale of bonds to finance the various enterprises
was the outstanding feature of the conference held
at Bismarck yesterday which was attended by more
than 300 representatives of state and national banks
The bankers went step farther than the indus
trial commission in that they recommended, not only
that the county treasurers should withdraw public
funds only as they are needed to meet urgent obi-
Cations but also the bankers that where
treasurers deposit funds in other banks, that they
check on these banks first and leave their balance
intact in the state bank until the present crisis is over
resolution was introduced indorsing the action
of the industrial commission in refusing to allow coun
ty treasurers to draw large amounts
and motion also made that the industrial COM
mission be asked to rescind this action, but both propo
sitions failed when number of bankers pointed out
that any action that might be interpreted being
political was out of place at this meeting.
Other resolutions expressed satisfaction with the
manner in which the bank of North Dakota has hand
led affairs; provided for the establishment of
volvng fund administered by the state bank examin
in helping out banks which short of liquid as
sets; recommended that unnecessary foreclosure be
avoided and urged the cooperation of everyone in the
upbuilding of the state
League leaders about the capitol were free in
expressing their pleasure the spirit manifested
by the bankers at the meeting. And in predicting
era of unprecedented prosperity for the state the
bankers successful in carrying out the program to
which they pledged themselves in the resolutions.

LIBEL SUITS
CARRIED TOTHE
DISTRICT COURT
Scant Testimony Again
st Defendants Is BrOt
Into Case
SEVEN ACQUITTED
Austin, Canter, Scharf
Bound Over By
Justice Duell
SEVEN ACQUITTED

The famous libel suit instituted on
complaint of several of Devils Lakes
prominent politicians and business
men against the editor Of The World,
F. S. Austin, Jacob Canter, foreman
of The World print shops; a number
of farmers and Leonard Scharf, tried
before Justice of the Peace Duell
Thursday, resulted in dismissal of
charges against all Of the defendants
except Austin, Canter and Scharf
who were bound over to the March
term of District court. The suit is
the outgrowth of the printing and cir
culating from some quarter of an
alleged ibelous circular sometime
prior to election in which the COM
plainants charge they were libeled and
DETAINED.
Scant testimony was produced, in
cluding that by several of the de-
PENDANTS subpoened by States Attor-
ney to testify as to delivery of the
circulars in the country. One limo
type operator in The World plant was
put on the stand by the state and
declared he had set type for, the "cir-
cular' had not seen it printed in the
shop. He testified along several
lines which to many appeared to be in
eliminating against Austin and Can
ter, two Of the defendants. Thruout
his testimony, the witness appeared
nervous and much confused.
Another witness, E. G. McCammon
a printer in the employe of The
World, declared he had stolen type

PRICES GOING UP ---xX.lAT

SHOWING ANY SIGNS Of ANY
YIELDING TO GRAIN GAMBLERS
Millers Buying Direct

That a successful elimination will
mark the recently begun movement
among farmers of North Dakota to
withdraw wheat they have stored at
their local elevators seems to be sus-
tanned by "leak" from the head Of
fees of Russel-Miller Milling COM
pany of Minneapolis. According to
this information, which is said to come
direct from the head buyer of the
concern, the entire Red River valley
and the northwestern part of Min
nesota are being fine-combed by
wheat buyers who go to the farmers
direct and offer to buy entire hold
ings of No. wheat.
The miller has been quick to see
the handwriting upon the wall and
now for the first time in history, he
is obliged to seek the farmer himself
to get the wheat in order to make
good on contracts for delivery of flour
already sold. ar-
Predicts High Prices
A statement from Grand Forks
says: Gamblers who have the tip
are stalking their pile on wheat go
ing to unprecedented heights by
+ March L." said local grain man to-
day. Their fortunes will be decided
by the farmer himself. Should the
miller's bonus induce him to let 60 Of
the wheat that lies in his granary, the
miller may rest easy.
"But should the farmer persist in
holding his crop, the miller will find
himself minus the material out of
which to make the products he has
contracted to deliver within few
months and there will be a grand
scramble in the wheat pit with a soar
ing price featuring the performance"
A local grain concern thru one Of
it's managers, declared approximately
forty per cent of Ramsey's wheat is
still in the hands of farmers and be-
ing held for the higher prices expect
ed with no inclination on their part
to sell now in spite of rising mar
ket,

Baer On Trail
OF Gamblers In
Food Products

With congress opening Con-
gressman John M. Baer of the
First North Dakota district, will
reintroduce his bill prohibiting
gambling in grain and all good
stuffs. Congressman Baer intro
duced this bill in congress last
winter but it was defeated.
\ Senator Arthur Capper of Kan
sas will introduce a similar bill
in the United States senate, he
has announced. Senator Capper's
bill is modelled after the one intro
duced in the house by Congress-
man Baer and which will be re-
introduced by him now.
Congressman Baer will also in
tr0duce a resolution calling for
an embargo 'on importation of
wheat from other countries. 1t
was nearly a year ago that Mr..
Baer advocated just such action
and last summer when the gov
ernment relinquished control of
the wheat market Mr.. Baer
telegraphed the president of the
United States urging him to de-
clare an embargo on the impor-
tation of wheat from Canada.

metal which bore indications of hav-
ing been used in the preparation of
the alleged criminal circular. He
said, however, he did not see any
printing done in the shops Of The
World. He further testified that he
had been paid $4,000 for his part in
the matter, declaring, however, it was
a part of a reward promised him.
Additional testimony of McCammon
brought forth the fact that he is an
all round print shop man, experience
ed linotype operator himself, compe-
tent to make up forms ard operate a
press. He, however, denied partici-
patton in the printing of the "cir-
cular.' Little is known here of the
witness.
Canter, in an interview following the
preliminary hearing before Judge
Duell and who had also been subpoen-
ed by the state but not put on the
stand, denied having printed the "cir-
cular."
Austin, manager of The World, had
no statement to make other than to
reiterate previous comment that he
was not responsible for the circular" "
Scharf, accused of distributing the
Circulars" adheres to statement
that he is inocent.
"The binding over to District court
was to be expected" one defendant
declared, while bonds were being made
out in $1,000 for each of the three.
Many willing bond signers were in
the court room as the case came to
an abrupt close following motion for
complete dismissal by Attorney An.
derson for the defense and the i'm.
mediate reading off of the list of those
whose cases were dismissed and those
who were bound over to the upper
court.

Bankers Pledge To Support Industrial Program
Carpenters Urge
\ National Body To
Put Funds In N. ID.

The Fargo local of the carpen-
ters' union at the meeting held
last week, directed the secretary
to write to the officers of the ma
tional organization to instruct its
secretary to deposit as much of
its funds as possible in the Bank
of North Dakota. ss
The secretary was instructed to
call the national officers attention
to the fight being waged by, the
farmers and city workers of
North Dakota to better the condi-
ton of all laboring men and that
the support Of the Bank of North
Dakota by organized labor in the
nation is one of the most effec-
tive weapons in the battle for JUS
tice now being carried on by the
common people.
The Typographical union of
Fargo took similar action a short
time ago. Reports from the Bank
of North Dakota this week were
to the effect that a considerable
amount of labor union money has
recently been deposited there.
