The solution OF the problem of eff
fSeting rapid delivery Of perishable
foods in New York City through the
constructive efforts Of The Evening
World, was the general topic of the
merchants in the wholesale produce
district esterday. Through the con-
gestion of arafflc and the inability Of
our merchants to distribute perish
able products in the surrounding
States, D. y York is rapidly losing
its prestige as a distributing centre,
1t was said George w. Mix, one of
the members of the Transportation
Committee of the Trade Association,
and a scion Of New Yorks Oldest
commission house, stated that The
Eyenlng World had accomplished
what 1t was impossible for any mem

but they are not offered simply to put
them on sale.
The reason for this movement is as
clear as daylight.
For weeks and months we have been
coming more and more to realize that the
people were looking for this organization to
do something to stop the advancing prices.
They looked to us to do it because we
were the largest retailers with the largest
stocks to strike the heaviest blow
1t was known that we have first access
to the principal markets of the country.
And it was known that we were
strongly equipped to take the risk and the
responsibility and to face the sacrifice that
would be necessary.
1t was like a public call to duty and
Wht; we have done was to answer the call

considerable exception of about $4,000
stricted by the makers, and the catalog
stocks on which we are obligated to hold
prices during the Spring and Summer season.
We hare started Increment that
has had serious effect throughout the
country, and We accept that RESPONSE
biIity, too.
Northern, Eastern, Western and Southern papers
are full of advertising of clothing merchants and
furniture merchants and dry goods merchants and
general merchants of almost every description who
are cooperating with this movement and taking
20 per cent off their prices as long as they can
afford it.
Patriotic manufacturers coming forward to
help because they tell they establish better
relations with labor now since there is hope of an
end to high prices.
This means that they can obtain an increased
production and can offer more goods at lesser
prices with cash transactions.
We are Keeping Up the Stocks
For the past ten days the people have seemed
as if they were determined to take away all our
goods and to stock up their homes with our fur
niture and linens and uphosteries our lamps and
our pictures, to fill up their closets with our
clothing and shoes.
Some of them bought as if they thought there
would never be chance to get goods at low prices
again.
OF course we had to 60 straight into the
market with both hands full of cash to buy new
things to replace the things that they took out,
and it has been great thing to fill up the tables
and cases and shelves with new fresh goods every
morning to take every advantage we could by
cash transactions to make the regular markings
as low as possible and then there is the 20 per cent
off that when the customer buys them.

If you have any friends who do not know
exactly what we are doing here, you will do them
service to explain to them. It would be great
pity if any one in or near New York should be
disappointed and fail to get here. in time before
the sale closes.

1t Is Only Fair to Say to
the People that the Aurora
Borealis of Lower Prices

has not yet appeared, but there are signs
in the frightening of the skies in perhaps
hundred or more places -
A very interesting thing is that some
of the stores that at first secuted the
idea, and in the beginning threw broken
china and empty tin cans in the way OF
this movement, have now got over their
sourness and have opened up all Of their
preserve closets,
There is one thing to be considered:
Some of the retail stores in Philadelphia
and Chicago have wholesale depart
ments and large jobbihg businesses.
Naturally enough, it was impossible for
such stores as these to be hearty and
ready, when hundreds Of retail stores
had bought their stocks from them-it
was hardly to be expected that they
would come into our plans to break high
prices, and thus have to sell goods at
retail lower than thea had, in some In
stances sold to their wholesale customers.
There are some people still finding
fault with us for taking one-fifth off our
regular prices, that were as low as we
could afford to sell the goods at, but as
we are not agents for any of our supply
sources, and as our own goods have been
paid for, we feel that we can do what
we please with them, even II 1t does
amount to giving away what belongs to
us-namely, our profit.

BUSINESS CHANGES
N THE CITY OF HOPE

The most recent business change
in this city is in the proprietorship
of the Model Barber Shop. G. F.
Husome retires in favor of Ralph
Valent, who has been his popular
assistant the past six months. We
do not know Mr.. Husome's future
plans but where ever he may go the
good wishes of his many friends in
the community will go with him. He
and his family have made many
warm friends in the community IN
the few years they have resided here.
Mr.. Husome has been especially pro-
minent in musical circles as violin
list and clarinet player and as leader
in orchestra and band organizations.
Mrs. Husome has presided at the pi-
ano in the dance orchestra and Miss
Winnifred shows great promise of
developing into pianist of ability.
Robt. Walker will take possession
of the Billiard Hall the first of March
having bought out c. E. Higgins
who has been proprietor the past few
months. Mr.. Walker will move the
business to the building formerly
occupied by the Ward Farms Co.,
which will be remodeled for the new
occupant. He expects his new quart
ers to be ready about the Goth of
March.

Socialistic crowd are surely and
swiftly entangling these farmers in
mesh from which they will not es-
cape. The political pendulum of
North Dakota has swung to the fur
thermost point of it's arc and lost
all the momentum of its movement:
it is now motionless and the law of
gravitation demands that it return
to it's axis.
'Townley unquestionably is not as
strong in the state now as in the
past. He has become drunken with
power and assumed form of dicta-

brief authority, Townley has exacted

and edit paper of canned editorial
of bolshevistic characteristics.
One of the latest is Harry N. Bran
dali, for some months editor of the
Wells County Free Press, Fessen-
den. He quit the league and is now
editing a paper at Fairfield, Iowa.
In recent issue of his Iowa paper
he sums up the North Dakota con-
dition as follows:
There are SO league newspapers
in the State of North Dakota. Three
OF these are owned solely by farmers
corporations and are under no obli-
CATIONS to the league or any of it's
leaders. The remaining so are
owned Jointly by farmer corporations
and the league and are controlled
wholly by league headquarters.
"And there lies the danger.
1.-The North Dakota farmer is not
a Socialist, nor an Anarchist, nor a
Bolshevik, although he jokingly re-
fers to himself as the latter. He
will also permit you to call him one,
but, as Owen Wister's story, THE
Virginian," you must smile when
you use the word.
But if the league farmer is not one
of these he is blindly following lead
ers who are. The leading league
organ of the state is the Fargo Cour-
ier-News, daily newspaper. Far
from combining itself to the original
purpose and plans of the league it
is now filling it's columns with radi-
cal rot Of a most vicious type, matter
which is as near sedition as may be

INTERESTING HAPPENINGS
At THE STATE CAPITAL

That o. T. Rishoff, former head of
the Publishers National Service Bu-
reau, has the Townley newspaper
combine in North Dakota stepping
sideways; that his recent interview
given representative of the Capitol
News Bureau of the North Dakota
Press Association to the effect that
Brinton must go; and that those who
are steering the newspaper graft for
Brinton and Townley in North Da-
kota have been humping their ships
on rocks and reefs of financial dis
aster, seems evident from the storm
of denials which has been aroused.
The Capitol News Bureau will in
it's own good time make public an
affidavit of the man to whom Rishoff
gave the interview. Meanwhile the
league leaders are endeavoring to
counteract the statement that the Or
ganization in North Dakota was not,
in effect, giving the farmers square
deal. Some of the denials published
in Minnesota have intimated that
league papers everywhere were at
tackled. The Rishoff statement was
not aimed at the Minnesota league
newspaper condition, but solely at
the North Dakota grab scandal.
In the so-called denial of Rishoff
that such an interview was given,
he stated that he had given no in
terview to the representatives of the
Beach Advance or the Wilton News,
and cited the names of the two pub
lications. No denial was made that
Rishoff had given an interview to a
representative of the Capitol News
Bureau, nor was any denial made
that he had resigned his post as chief
of the Non-Partisan league news
paper bureau, nor were the facts
as set forth in the interview denied
However, the interview has stirred
up things generally. League news
papers in North Dakota, bought and
secured by farmers notes, have been
having hard shedding, managers OF
the Brinton combine have been hav.
ing hard work getting payments, and
five league editors have resigned
their posts, most notably being ]

Appeal was made Monday, Febru-
ary 10th, to the supreme court from
the decision of Judge w. c. Craw-
ford of Dickinson, who in Stark coun-
ty district court last week declared
Section 1873 (The Brinton Grab Act)
of the North Dakota statutes to be
unconstitutional.
It is hoped to get an early hear
ing on this before the supreme court.
The grounds on which Judge Craw-
ford held the law to be unconsti-
tutional and as presented by Attor-
ney ]. F. Sullivan in behalf of the
Grant county commissioners and the
North Dakota Press Association were
as follows:
1. That said chapter 1873 of the
laws of 1919 is unconstitutional and
void insofar as it attempts to dele
gate to said state publication and
printing commission the power to
designate official newspapers for the
respective counties of the state, be-
cause;
2. The title to said chapter 1873
is not broad enough to cover the
subject of designation of official
county newspapers and is therefore
void as to such designation under
section 60 of the state constitution.
And said chapter 1873 of the laws of
1919 contains more than one SUBJ
ject, and the subject of designation
Of official county newspapers not be-
ing mentioned in the title is void
as to such designation.
3. Said chapter 1873 OF the ses-
sion laws of 1919 is void as to the
designation of official county news
paper for said chapter was so altered
and amended in its passage thru the
senate as to change it's original pur-
pose and is therefore void under
section So of the state constitution.
4. That said chapter 1873 of the
laws of 1919. is unconstitutional and
void insofar as it pertains to the
designation of official county news
papers, for the reason that it is in
controvention of the state consti-
