THE CAPITAL PROFlTEER

The work of the Pierre Commercial
club. under the leadership Of j. r
Brooke. formerly OF this city, in soly-
ing the rooming shortage in Pierre
during the legislative session, is the
subject of an editorial in the Aber-
deem Daily News:
"In these days when swatting the
profteer has become the national in.
and-outdoor sport, South Dakota's
memoir naturally turns to the two
session months al Pierre. Now Pierre
is no worse than any other small state
capital. It's normal population IS
doubled and trebled and then swelled
again every time the legislature meets.
High prices are the result of supply
and demand there As elsewhere, and
the element Of human greed that en-
ters is just as prevalent in Augusta,
Ne. for instance. as it is in Pierre.
Now the good people Of Pierre are
going at the matter in a systematic
way to distribute the supply of rooms
and food as equitably as they can in
the face of the demand. They recent
ly acquired a professional Commercial
club secretary and the Pierre CONNER
cial club is making a survey Of living
accommodations. From this survey
they will be able t o guide the l~egisla-
tive resident in his search for a home
and his desire to dodge a cot in the
hall for sixty days at a stretch.
IF the Pierre plan works out, it will
be a real feather in the cap Of the
newly ~reorganized Commercial club.
The whole state will know it, for there
is no chance during January and Feb.
ruary for the Pierre citizens to hide
their light under a bushel."

always drop at harvest time when the
years supply of wheat is marketed
all at once. The nation cannot eat
up all Of the garin at once so it is
stored away until there is a demand
for it. There is usually considerable
profit in storing wheat over the winter,
but heretofore the farmer has never
tried ii on any large scale. Their
term Of credit is so short they are
practically forced to liquidate their
resources every fall TO meet their OBJ
legations. This year the farmer found
grain prices so low that if he marketed
his grain the loss would be so great
he would be practically ~insolvent. His
only hope OF being able to meet his
creditors would be to hold bis grain
until prices raised sufficiently for him
TO break even. AS long as the markets
are so well supplied with wheat that
they can pay no greater prices than
are offered at present, there car be no
logic in the charge hat the farmers
are holding wheat from people who
are crying for bread. Surely the
farmer who raises ii. has more right
to carry oye surplus wheat than the
spectators who own big terminal ele-
vators. If the grain men can be fl
nanced 10 hold wheat in their eleva-
tors in the big cities for a big profit,
it is reasonable of the farmers to ask
for credit to hold their wheat until
spring to save them from bankruptcy.
The is in no way harmed
by the farmers action in holding the
wheat. The Spectator is harmed by
1t and it is he who is Directing most
strenuously. The only bad feature
about 1t all is that the merchant is
obliged TO carry more accounts on his
books than he is able to. with safety
TO himself and the local banks, upon
which so much depends at a time like
this.

a PERNIcIOUS PRACTICE

During the war il was a common
practice among speaking pro-Germans
and other enemies of the country TO
start vicious rumors which spread like
wildfre due to their sensational quail
tiles and often wrought much havoc.
The Red Cross and many other or
CARNATIONS above reproach We're vic
tins of many Of these rumors. The
the coming OF business depression.
Along with the calamity howlers are
these underground vendors of PERM
cious rumors. In Brookings last week
they worked overtime and framed up
a bank failure. In one day the lie
spread over a hundred miles in every
direction and long distance calls came
thick and fast from all owe asking
II the rumor was true. No n knows
who started it, but there must be many
who were guilty of passing il along.
In these times when business conf
dence is so essential to bring about
stabilized and normal conditions, it
is nothing short of criminal to stir up
groundless fears among the public by
spreading false rumors. The rumor
of last week has harmed every citizen
and every business house in Brookings
~unjustly. 1t is not necessary TO say
that the financial situation in Brook
ings is probably better than anywhere
else in the state, for that fact is gen
orally recognized. All of the banking

NOTHING CROOKED ABOUT IT

Many eastern newspaper editors are
commenting upon what they call the
farmers wheat strike" One editor
calls it a bold conspiracy to hoard
wheat until $500 a bushel can be real
lied. They seem to think that the
farmers are doing something illegal
or unjust in withholding their grain
from the market until there is a
greater demand for 1t. They lose sight
Of the fact that every year some one
must hold the surplus wheat Of the
harvest. The farmers usually rush
their grain TO market as soon as
threshed and let the big grain dealers
do the holding and boarding. Prices

DON'T ROCK THE BOAT

Put on brakes. Don't be pessimistic
about the present situation. Every
ounce of optimism you can put into
everything right now will have its

can't pay in full do the best you can.
But for heavens sake quit rocking

that the Portland Water District
shall forthwith begin and with due
diligence prosecute all arrangements
for the placing upon Peaks Island
Of a siX-inch pipe line for Sebago

pleted On or before July l, 1920
The Portland Water District re-
Gently passed a resolution agreeing to
construct at the expense Of the dis
trict six-inch pipe line from the
mains of the Portland Water Dis
trict across the waters of Casco bay
to Peaks Island and further offers
to maintain the pipe and deliver Sc
hego water to the Peaks Island Cor
poration ON condition that the Peaks
Island Corporation pay for the water
furnished. The proposed pipe line is
to be constructed as soon as the pipe
can be secured from the manufacture

ADJUSTMENTS
"Dangerous Hours" Is
Play That Tells The
Mightiest Truths

Dangerous Hours Is the compre-
heusive and significant title Of the TEA
ture photoplay to be seen today At the
Colonial theatre. Americans are today
living In dangerous hours and this WON
derful drama, adapted from the Satur-
day Evening Post story of "A Prodigal
in Utopia" points out these evils as
they have never before been SO frankly
discussed.
A Paramount-Artcraf.p production pre-
scented by Thomas H. Ince with q won
derfully able cast and some truly starr
ling effects, it is without doubt one of
the biggest offerings yet provided at the
Colonial theatre. It tells the story Of q
visionary young America who becomes
misled by the false promises Of the
Reds. and fascinated by beautiful fem
mime Bolshevist. he gives his consent to
practices of which he knows little.
When, however. he sees what this really
leads to, he has a complete revulsion Of
feeling and stands forth as a real red
blooded American.
Not only Is this story great because
Of the truths it unfolds. but 1t is in
tensely interesting because of the
wholesome love theme running through
1t all and the extremely thrilling situa-
tions that develop. Some Of the scenes
cost thousands Of dollars to secure and
meant the wrecking Of much valuable
property.
Entirely different from this is the ap-
pearance of the famous AL. st. John in
his first comedy picture. St. John ~
one Of the great funny acrobats the
country has ever produced and as a
trick bicycle rider he stands alone. His
first film offering is called speed" and
it bristles with speed all the way
through. Al. appears as messenger
boy and he and his bike are insepara-
BILE as the story develops.
Other good things will be furnished by
a new Burton Holmes Travelogue and
