Government Crop Reports
Set Wheat Price Back


CHICAQGO, Dec. 16.--Sharp set
backs in the price of wheat resulted
yesterday from the government report
showing that grain crops were larger
than expected. The close was unsettl-
ed to 614c net lower, with Decem-
Der $1.65Ik and March s1,5S1s to s1.5S
y. Corn lost rs to 3 S-sc and oats
2 TO 2 5-Sc. Provisions lost 20 to 35c.
Increased production overshadowed
every other factor in the wheat mar
.ket. Word that one million bushels
had been taken from export by way of
the gulf OF Mexico. failed to assist
the bulls On the contrary, 1t was said
rural offerings in the southwest had
become more liberal. Many in the
trade not only looked on the grain
figures as bearish and wheat especially
so, but further considered the big
crop of potatoes important as furnish
ing a bread substitute. Even the most
radical bulls had to concede that any
wheat shortage this season would be a
month later than had seemed probable
yesterday. May delivery. in which
trading started this morning, proved
relatively weaker, December or March
finished at to 7Ac under the initial
price, $1.6O.
In com and oats there was a notable
lack Of support except from shorts.
Old corn led the decline. Country
selling of corn futures was rather free.
Provisions went down with grain.

POINTERS ON

Agricultural Agent in Grand Forks

much more effective.
County Agent J.. G. Russell of Col

tute for oats in preparing ground

Gin many counties 80 per cent of
the ground squirrels have been killed
and their depredations so reduced
that no effort i snow being made to
kill the remaining 10 per cent. If

are allowed to multiply unhindered,
it will molly be a short time until the
county is once more over run with

CELEBRATION AT sPIR1TWooD

The transportation committee, APP
pointed to arrange for the transpor-
tation of out-of-town visitors to the
Victory celebration at, the Spiritwood
Lake Chautauqua grounds Saturday,
July 31st, from jamestown to the
grounds, reports that hundreds of
letters have been received from all
parts of tn state heartily endorsing
the movement, and promising large
delegations to the meeting. All Wis
itors will be given the auto trip from
the city to the Chautauqua grounds
free Of charge, and any who have not
as yet notified the committee are
urged to wire Logan Powell, care of
Gladstone Hotel, jamestown, for res
ervations.
The reason for holding the Victory
Celebration, as announced by the
committee, are: First, because the
anti-socialistic forces of the state
have won %avictory, which if duplicat-
ed in the general election in Novem-
Der, will sweep the state clean OF
Townleyism, and second, because an
attempt will be made to inaugurate
the "Stutsman County Plan Cam
paign," which differs from the usual
political organization in that it is
worked out more in detail, and that
it's object is to educate the people
and to get them to think for them
selves, in every county of the state.
1t was thought best to hold the
celebration in Stutsman county be-
cause of its central location, and be-
cause it was here that this most ef-
e%fctive weapon in the fight against
socialism was originated and devel-
oped, changing a Townley majority
of over 600 to an independent major
ity of from 600 to one thousand.

REMARKS OF LEAGUE LEADERS
MADE AT CHICAGO MEET

The Associated Press dispatches
in reporting the meeting of the var
ious radical groups at Chicago re-
Gently, at which time the so-called
Farmer-Laobor Party was formed,
have this to say: "The most power
full factor behind the scene has been
Bill Lemke, the chief politician of
the Nonpartisan League" The same
Bill who in North Dakota is Chair
man of the Republican State Central
Committe and Republican candidate
for attorney, general. Bills paper,
the Courier-News, has recently in an
editorial urged the farmers to boy
colt the towns people who don't sup
port their brand of politics, this is
what they call "Americanism" we
presume. And yet, good people have
allowed themselves to become so one
sided that they will actually uphold
a bunch of political pirates who
preach this kind Of doctrine, and in
a country to which our fathers came
for political and religious liberty. In
plain language it means, eff you
don't think as I do, We'll starev you
into submission" Incidentally, in
view of Mr.. Lemke's activity in form
ling a new party, what claim has he
to the vote of any republican? .
Another of our famous leaders"
was at the radical third party con-
vention at Chicago, and he made a
speech, Mr.. O. M. Thomson by
name, e%x-preacher, former editor of
the state Socialist paper of North
Dakota, and official organizer and
lecturer Of the Nonpartisan League,
we quote a few of his remarks:
Remark 1-"North Dakota is syn
onymous with heaven to a lot of us"
He sure told the truth, it is to a slot
of u.s. socialist workers and spouters,
as they have lived on the fat of the
land for several years at the expense
of our people. -
Remark 1--WE stole the Repub:
iican Party in North Dakota, and it
has been a good party ever since.'
Correct again, so far as the first part
of the statement is concerned. There
are from 1000 to 10000 socialists in
this state, Gov. Frazier was nomin-
ated by about 5000 plurality over
Mr.. LANCER. The socialist party has
disappeared in this state in the last
four years, if the socialist vote was
deducted from F~razier's vote, was
not LANCER the choice of the real
republicans of this state?.
Remark 3-Referring to Soviet
Russia, at which the crowd cheered,
Mr.. Thompson said, "They have SET
us a good example,"
Remark 1--WE have the single
tax in North Dakota, although under
another name" How do the farmers
of North Dakota like the remarks OF
this official representative Of the
farmers organization?
