The big pig. sale pulled Of here
yesterday was the most successful at
fair of its kind held in the state this
fall There was a fine exhibit Of all
breeds of pigs which were offered for
sale and which, under present condi-

a large attendance Of farmers and
others interested and the bidding was
lively. U. L. Burdick and Ben North
ridge were the auctioneers at this sale
and they are much pleased at the suc-
cessful termination Of it. Many
farmers availed themselves Of the op-
portunity to buy some fine stock to
place on their farms, some Of them
new beginners in the job Of starting
herd Of pigs. So successful was this
sale that it is confidently expected
that similar sales will be pulled off

A SILLY MYTH

During the heat of political Cam
paign, the idea so zealously fostered
by the nonpartisan league leaders and
newspaper organs that the grain mar
ket was being manipulated at the
devilish will Of gamblers may have
served a useful if dishonest purpose.
But we can see no reason why that
fiction should be kept up. now that the
election is over. Or at least we can
see no other purpose in it than to dis
tract attention from the gratuitous adj
vice of Ladd and McGovern that farm
ers ought to hold their wheat.
We are quite sure that the editor of
the Fargo Courier News, for example,
has sense enough to know that the
price of world staple like wheat is
governed by a fundamental economic
law, and that this law cannot be af-
fected to any considerable extent by
the puny operations of men why buy
and sell on change What does he
imagine has happened to the grain
gamblers who bought options on mill
lions of bushels of wheat when the
price was SO to rs cents higher than
it is today? Who absorbed their loss
es? Do they have a secret market
somewhere upon which they can "un-
load" when they make a bad buy :?
Will not the sapient editor Of the
Courier-News be good enough to ex-
plain the modus operandi by which
wheat gamblers can buy on rapidly
falling market and get rich at the
game?
Farmers who swallow all this bunk
about grain gambling may get GER
tain amount Of dubious satisfaction in
thinking how neatly they have been
robbed. but that, fiction will never
solve the seroius problems that con-
front them. We all ought to want the
truth about the matter not mere
pihle LaMoure Chronicle.

w. D. Lynch, federal prohibition di-
rector at LaMoure, North Dakota,
sends out the following: Merchants
in many communities throughout the
state are selling large quantities Of
favoring extracts containing alcohol,
to their customers. These merchants
know that the abnormal demand for
extracts is not legitimate and their
common sense tells them that it is
being used for beverage purposes. No
honest merchant can deceive himself.
The fact that the clerks sell the stuff
for him is no excuse. He empties the
cash drawer, and he, not the clerk, re-
ceive the illegal profit. Some of these
merchants are being closely watched
and evidence of sales of gallons Of ex-
tracts, where they formerly sold
ounces, is now in possession Of the
authorities. The public should con-
denim these violators of the law as
they are by far a greater menace to
society than the whiskey runners who
traffic in real booze. They dispense
poison under the garb of legitimate
business. q .H. @a -

Congressman Reavis, of Pennsyl-
vania, and other congressman have
sensed the feeling in the country and
in congress that the time has come
to put an end to the waste and extra
vagance now being exercised by the
national government. One of the rea-
sons given by Mr.. Reavis is that the
people demand that their taxation be
reduced. For many years we have
been collecting the revenues of this
government through systems of in
direct taxation. The revenues have
been collected through protective
tariff and by excise taxation on intox-
eating liquors. Indirect taxation of
this kind prevents the people from
realizing fully just who is paying the
expenses of the government. There
was a time when the expenses of the
government amounted to only twelve
cents per capita year. Today the an
nual per capita expense exceeds forty
dollars. This tremendous expense has
made it necessary to resort to direct
taxation, and the people have suddenly
become painfully aware of who pays
the expenses of the goveknmentV'
Many Of these agencies have been in
active for number of years, but they
are keeping up their personnel in an
tcipation Of work in the future. We
would save $500, O0O,O 900 a year in my
udgment, by doing away with useless
bureaus and duplication of activities.
"Some of these Implications are RI
diculous and absurd. For instance.
the government seeks to protect the
wild animals in the national parks. If
a brown kadiak bear has twin cubs,
one brown and one black, as often hap
pens, and one should shoot the brown
cub he must make his settlement with
one department, but if he shoot its
full brother, the black cub, he must
settle with another department. If
you were to shoot a fox in Alaska your
settlement would be with the depart
ment of agriculture, while if you
trapped the same fox you must make
your settlement with a bureau in the
department of commerce. The gov
eminent issued last year through it's
several bureaus and departments six
teen cookbooks. The last one that was
issued was published by the Board of
vocational education. This is a board
organized by the congress for the pur-
pose of rehabilitating crippled soldiers
of the World War, to prevent, as far
as possible, their becoming derelicts
in life: It may be Of interest
to state that while the government has
been issuing sixteen cookbooks and
consuming vast quantities Of print
paper in these and similar useless pub
locations, 1900 country-town newspa-
pers have suspended in the last three
months because they have not secured
