SENATOR HOLDS LEAGUE Is
SUE ABOVE PARTY LINES.

Coe L. Crawford in Sioux City
Tribune: You have been saying so
well what has been in my heart that
| have been content, until now, to
remain silent. But the time to vote
is at hand and / should be false to
myself were | to fail to say a single
word in support of the ballot | ex-
pect to cast Can we forget next
Tuesday those sorrows WHICH drown
ed the world for four years? Can we
refuse to take one step forward to
prevent a reptition of all that suffer
ing? Root, Hughes. sEowell and Taft,
who sincerely desire to retain the
covenant with some amendments,
ask us to support with our ballots a
candidate who frankly declares that
he wishes to scrap the only plan
which has been proposed with any de-
finiteness-a plan which is making
headway in spite of all the hate and
frenzy which have so relentlessly pur-
sued it, and who admits that he has
no constructive plan whatever to
take its place I cannot do so.
This issue should override all par
ty lines 1t is the only practical pro-
posal ever presented to the. world for
crystallizing the public opinion of the
world against war. In contemplat-
ing a proposal so noble, so majestic,
so momentous, how mean and hateful
the little dogmas of party politics
seem! could have supported Hughes
or Wood and, if Governor Coolidge
were at the head of the republican
ticket, | would vote for him. But |
cannot vote for a man who seems to
think that America can lead the
world without assuming any respons-
ibility or recognizing any duty be-
yond those which are supremely mar
row as well as supremely selfish.
That kind of Americanism is not
adequately expressed without the
word little preceding it.

BAPTIST CHURCH
REPORTS PROGRESS
ANNUAL MISSIONS GET $4,000
AND $400 ALLOTTED FIRST
PAYMENT ON PAVING.

The annual meeting of the First
Baptist church was held on Thurs
day evening with good attendance
present.
Reports from various departments
showed that in all it's affairs and ac-
tivities the church was making good
progress. The report of the clerk re-
vealed that 281 members were in
good standing. The financial report
showed that there had been received
from all sources the sum of $3T95 of
which amount $4,000 had been raised
for missions.
The recommendation of the board
of trustees that $4,000 be the annual
budget for running expenses for the
ensuing year was adopted and pledg-
es were secured for raising s400 as
first payment on paving expense.
The following officers were elect
ed: T. G. Thompson, clerk; Warren
Aldrich, s. S. superintendent; Mrs.
w. N. Brown, primary superintend-
ent; w. NJ Brown, Mission treasurer.
]. C. Palmer and A. e. Keller were
selected as trustees for the ensuing
three year term.
During the business session the
pastor, Rev. G. e. Peters, gave an
interesting talk and incidentally con-
graduated the church on the splend-
id showing made in its different de-
partments the past year. He thought
this worthy of notice, since for ten
months there had been no regular
pastor in charge. He then gave an
outline of the work contemplated for
the coming year.
After adjournment those present
repaired to the dining room, where
they partook of light refreshments.

WHEAT PRICES
WILL INCREASE
FARM BUREAU FEDERATION is.
SUES STATEMENT ON PRESENT
AND FUTURE OUTLOOK.

Huron, Oct. 29.-The United
States wheat crop is already over
sold. There is a world shortage OF
visible wheat of 200, 100000 bushels
as compared with that a year ago
The United States wheat crop is 100
100000 bushels under a year ago.
and the combined crop of the United
States and Canada is 12O, 900, 900
bushels under that of year ago.
Those who have studied the situa-
ton closely freely predict three to
four dollar wheat next spring. These
facts have come out in a statement.
issued from Washington by the
American Farm Bureau federation.
The statement goes on to say that
the present low prices in the grain
markets are the result of bear propa-
ganda by traders who sold heavily in
foreign markets several months ago
when prices were high and are now
endeavoring to fill those orders at a
low figure.
The feeling prevails that traders,
particularly one of the large packing
interests, are in an extremely deli
cate position, and once the market
turns upward must make a wild
scramble to get enough grain to COW
er their foreign contracts.
We do not inteyfd to call an or
ganized strike to withhold grain
from the market to force the price
to regain its true level" says j. R.
Howard, president of the American
Farm bureau federation, but we do
feel that every farmer should know
the facts as to the available supply
and probable demand; and if on the
strength of these facts il seems good
business to hold, he should be grant
ed the necessary credit to do SO.
I'VE do not believe the general
consuming public desires to see the
farmer accept present ruinous prices
offered, particularly when the mar
gins made go into the pockets of the
speculator rather than to the man
who buys the bread

SIX PRISONERS
TO PE|V|THVT|ARY
BROWN COUNTY CONTRIBUTES
SEVERAL WHILE HYDE AND
ZIEBACH EACH SEND ONE.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 29.-Deputy
Sheriff George W. Smith of Brown
county, with Thomas Jones and
Frank Ward as assistants, brought
down and turned over to Warden
Jameson at the penitentiary num-
Der fprisoners to do various terms.
Chief among these is Gustave Blair,
who. will serve three years for OBJ
tanning property under false pretense.
This was sensational case full of
thrills, the final thrill being when
the accused after a stubborn trial,
changed his plea from not guilty to
guilty.
Blair with his son and another man
appeared on the scene at Aberdeen
pretending to be rich spectators.
They purchased, with checks which
proved to be worthless, number Of
farms and also restaurant at Aber-
deem Joe Song was the owner OF
the restaurant and becoming sus-
picious after the deal caused the ar
rest of Blair. He was just in time as
Blair was about to skip the country.
The younger Blair and the other man
disappeared so completely that no
trace has been obtained of them. 1t
will take some time to untangle the
legal mixup in connection with the
purchase made by this trio.
Mr. J. Babbitt was brought down
at the same time and will serve IS
months for grand larceny. Fritz
Gies. also from Brown county will do
two years and six months for adult
cry. The fourth contribution from
Brown county is Henry Skinner, who
is under q seyen years sentence FOR
rape. Hyde county has sent down Joe
Fromme, who will do seven years on
the charge of grand larceny. Henry
I1Afferty was brought in from Zie-
bach county to serve an indetermin-
ate sentence for from four to ten
years, he having been convicted of
the charge of rape.

BELIEVES MONEY
EASIER IN EAST
SIOUX FALLS BANKER BACK
FROM WASHINGTON.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 29.-Money con-
ditions in the east are becoming cas-
ier, said Don Johnson, vice presi-
dent of the Sioux Falls Savings bank,
who is just back from Washington.
Mr.. Johnson attended the national
convention of the American Bankers
association and was made a mem
South Dakota.
In the general opinion of the
delegates present." said Mr.. Johnson,
money conditions are easier in the
east. This lis not because the posi-
tion of the banks is materially easier,
but because readjustment in general
business has proceeded further than
thought possible. 1t is true that
there are weak spots that have been
uncovered, but few failures have re-
suited. This is because the bankers
are handling the situation in COM
mon sense manner. Everywhere the
aim of the bankers, seems to be to
help debtors through their entangle-
ments by friendly and gradual pro-
cess of liquidation.
while conditions in the east seem
to be somewhat relieved. they appre-
ciate the fact that our section of the
country will not have any material
relief until the beginning of the new
year. The American Bankers asso-
citation unanimously endorsed the
federal reserve banking system, real
izing that the country could not have
gone through the crisis without dis
astrous failures unless they had had
its assistance
Washington was beautiful city
for convention and every delegate
owes thanks to tho committee that
