hundreds of investors placing their money
in, notes small denominations the aggre-
gate of which furnishes fixed part otsthe

but you are improving conditions in your
community. The present demand for houses
and apartments is an additional safeguard
backing your investment.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. ia trick
to stir UP hatred against Miss Minnie
J. Nelson, state superintendent Of in

Several days ago Miss Nelson re-
ceived resolution signed by small
number of people condemning her for
statements she was alleged to have
made in a speech in Minneapolis. The
petition was adopted at a meeting Of
woman's Nonpartisan club. 3F itt
The secret of the start of the peti-
tions was revealed when. by mistake,
letter from Nonpartisan league
headquarters in North Dakota was
sent in with a resolution. The letter
accompanied a resolution which the
wonian's Nonpartisan clubs were ask
ed to sign and sent to Miss Nelson.
Too Much for Women.
The effort apparently has met with
signal failure. Less than ten resolu-
tions have come to Mss Nelson and
most of them contai & but a few
names. The letter to he clubs ask

so vicious that it is believed to, have

as much to do with the exercise ofrthe

LOWER PRICES

Meredith Declares Shrink

Washington. Oct. s.-shrinkage in
the value of farm products so far this
season will result in American farm
ers receiving 5000, 100000 less than
they would have got on the 1919 price
basis, Secretary of Agriculture Mere
dtth said today, addressing the Amer
lean Bankers association in annual
convention. He classed the resulting
situation as one (which demands the
best thought and sympathetic consid-
Grafton of the bankers of America and
In fact OF all the people of the coun-
try"
Mr.. Meredith estimated that the
fall in corn prices had involved a bill
lion dollar, loss to producers, while
the decline IN cotton prices amounted
to q third Of billion dollars. The
situation was further made harder
for farmers he said, because the labor
and materials necessary to, crop pro,
duction had been supplied during the
high price period.
"The American people must see to
it that the farmers secure credit
sufficient for their needs Mr..
Meredith continued. "Only thus can
they continue to supply the nations
need for food. 1 think you gentle
men fully realize that il the farmer
is to continue to produce and to meet
the food requirements of the nation,
he must have adequate prices for his
products. The farmer is not the only
one who would be adversely affected
If he fails to secure a reasonable re-
turn for his efforts. do not think
you can fail to see that the farmers
problems are your problems, and
that your ultimate prosperity depends
upon right solution of the diff
culties confronting the farnsers.' The
said. is the greatest one facing the
agriculture interests. He urged that
bankers assist cooperative farmers
enterprises and acknowledged that
banks already had given very great
aid" to agriculture, Y
