THE PROSPECT FOR CANNING

Tbs grower of fruit will suffer because
there will be NO demand for his product
except for present use. while the con-
sumner will not be able to avail himself
OF even low priced fruit for preserving
Thus the sugar situation promises TO
work against both producer and con-
surer. Already the effect OF sugar
scarcity has been felt. The prices OF
acid-bearing fruit have ruled low FOR

affected by the scarcity and high price
OF tia sweetsning, to make them pal
ntabie. At this season rhuharb Is
usually eagerly sought. but there Is

Every disposition to unite all par
ties for the elimination of the pres
ent Socialistic state government was
manifested today when the Commit
tee of Twenty-one," representing the
regular republican and Democratic
parties and the Independent Voters
association opened its session at tho
Grand Forks city hall.
State Issues Separate.
The general feeling seems to be
that national issues have no bearing
on the present campaign in the state
and should be kept. entirely separate.
With this idea in view 1t appears
likely that the Republicans and
present Sootalistic regime will be able
to oppose a united front to the Town
ley forces at the general election in
November, and at-,the same time pre-
serve their respective principles and
work loyalty for their respective can
didates as far as the national cam
