The Bowbells tribune., 1920-11-12

! The carload OF distillate recently
purchased by ]. H. Mohr from the
Moore Oil Co. arrived here the
| fore part of the week. and since
then Mr.. Mohr has moved same to
the light plant where it will be used
in running the engines.
Echo further demonstrated his abb
lity to influence voters in his city
this fall. The returns Of the gen.
eral election show that the candi-
dates and measures endorsed by the
Ncnpartisan League received more
votes in Powers Lake in this in
stance than they did last June Or
! at the general election in the fall
Of 1918. Each election shows that
the farmers are gaining in Powers
Lake in spite of the fact that Editor
Gee uses most of his dirty sheet in
knocking every candidate and ev-
cry measure that they endorse.
The people in Powers Lake seem to
be getting just as much disgusted
with their editor as the farmers re-
siding in that vicinity are.
Wheat prices took several de-
clines during the past week, and
the price now is lower than it had
been for several years. Farmers
in all the northwestern states are
holding their wheat for higher
prices, and very little is being sold.
A big shortage is admitted every
where, and the terminal elevators
in the Twin Cities and Chicago are
practically empty. but the market
continues to go down in spite of the
fact that there i: every reason why
it should go up, There is more
grain stored on the farms of the
northwest this year than there ever
was before. and the chances are
that it will stay there until the
farmers are able to get at least the
cost of production out Of it.
