We learn that the potato crop in
the Hastings section, which it was
thought were ruined by the heavy
rains, have escaped with much less
damage than the first estimate. We
will all rejoice because of this. Pro-
duction is the big essential thing
these days, and we want those ood-
Inns of spuds to help feed the nation.

WRITER BOOSTS NORTH DAKOTA

One little ray of sunshine In all the
gloom spread turnout the east about
North Dakota comes from the pen Of
Sinclair Lewis, who has been travel
ing thru most Of the states by auto
mobile and writes Of his experiences
in the Saturday Evening Post under
the title Adventures in Automobum-
ming" The final paragraph Of his
articles is printed below. Read and
study it, and reflect, that this is not
a land agents advertisement, but a
voluntary tribute by one of the coun-
try's foremost writer's to the greatest
state in the union.
"And once we spent the night on
the vast and open prairies between
Bismarck and Dickinson. Awe crept
over us as we sat on stools by the
tent. The huge orb of the land was
mightier than mountains or the ring
of the ocean. Here was the heart Of
America; and we had come here, not
coaxed by hotel signs or business ea-
gagements but merely because driv-
ing westward it had seemed posi-
BILE place to stop for the night. Care
lessly, by chance, we had driven in
wonderland; and as dusk drifted down
and the car and tent were insignificant
as lone wheat shock on that prairie,
we forgot all the insigniicances Of
dust and punctures and road finding
and in the great stiffness were thank
full that as only gypsies or autohobos
could've had happened upon the
quiet place of the elder gods.'

ALL NEWSPAPERS IN
MANITOBA SUSPENDED

Winnipeg, Man, Jan. 17.-All daily
newspapers in Winnipeg and through
out Manitoba suspended publication
today for an indefinite period owing to
the refusal of the Fort Francis Pulp
and Paper company to supply news
print paper to the newspapers on order
Of the paper controller at Ottawa. All
shipments for the United States were
held up today at Fort, Francis by
Canadian customs. officers, depriving
several American papers Of their sup
plies. Mounted police from Manitoba
are in Fort Francis to back>up govern
ment authority if necessary. Mounted
police from Fort Williams arrived to-
day to assist in the seizure of paper
if mill refuses to ship out supplies be-

ELEVATORS IN NORTH DAKOTA

North Dakota has approximately
1900 elevators that handle grain. Ac-
cording to j. T. Brody, Chief Elevator
Accountant to DR.. E. F. Ladd, 1903
of these elevators are now operating.
The total capcity Of these is 53,957, 400
bushels or an average of 1888. OF
these $40 are farmers and cooperative
with capacity of 17,857,900, an aver
age of 35,015 bushels. There are 20,
independent elevators and 1000 old
line elevators. The elevators operat-
ing had the capacity for handling
without shipping any grain, approx
mately two-thirds Of the wheat crop
of 1919. Had the 1900 elevators with
capacity Of 65,000,000 bushels been
in operation, fully one-half Of the
wheat crop that is shipped out could
have been stored.

POINT TO Low EARNINGS

! WASHINGTON, Dec 15.-Costiy short
hauls combined with many shipments Of
small lots of manufactured goods were
responsible. according to representatives
of New England railroads who testified
before the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to-day. for the inability of the car
riers in that section to earn during the
last fiscal year more than 1.o4 per cent.
on their invested capital.
The testimony OF the carriers was. pre-
scented to the commission at it's initial
hearing on the request of New England
railroads for readjustment OF the di-
vision Of freight rates on through traffic
between those roads east and those west
of the Hudson River. Application for
the readjustment recently was filed by
the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad, act
ing In behalf of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford, the Vermont Cen
trail. the Boston and Maine. the Central
New England, the Maine Central and the
Rutland railroads.
w. ]. Cunningham, statistical ex-
pert, told the commission that at the re-
quest of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford he had made a thorough study
of the economic problems of freight ship
ments in New England and had found
that the compactness of the territory and
the close proximity of the stations had
made the money costs of freight trans
portation u great deal higher than IN
other parts of the East.
Mr. Cunningham declared that the
great amount of short hauls and the
many small manufacturing shipments
( had resulted in the handling of goods
one and a half times in New England.

Charles r. Choate of Boston. counsel
for the carriers, presented statistics to
show that three-fifths of the entire
freight shipments in New England were
nterchanges between points in that
region. lie said that in the last fiscal
year the business of the roads amounted
! to $54.000,000, and OF this amount
1 $4,000 900 was on interchanged ship
ments.
Mr.. Choate further asserted the f.0i
per cent earning last year on the total
investment of SS3S.274,769 of the New
! England roads should be sufficient evil
dence that the loss was mainly due to
unfair adjustment of divisions for inter-
changed freights with other trunk lines.

the commission.

The seven States whose cases were
presented to the commission are Ohio.
Illinois. Michigan. Utah. Indiana, Flor
Ida and Nebraska.
During the hearings, which lasted
three days, counsel for the railroads at
tempted to show that carriers we're los
ing millions through the existence of State
rates lower than those prevailing In in
terstate traffic. They also argued that
unfair discrimination existed against
competitive traffic with neighboring
states and that interstate tariffs author
ICED by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission were in effect being avoided
BY the rebuying of tickets within State
limits on the basis of State rate sched-
ules

passenger rates within state limits had

Assistant Attorney Hugh La Masters
Of Nebraska said that his State was not

haps in establishing lower rates which
the West needed.

commission where the grant of such
dividend might transgress on the Illi-

of the people. Taking such sum from
the roads treasury, he added. might i'm

son parts with the only man of pro-
nounced ability with whom he could

His criticism of his Secretary Of
State for taking an initiative in i'm

dence that the Wilsonian idea is
that cabinet ministers are for no
purpose but to perform clerical dut-
les under his instructions.
