Murray Has Plan to Regulate Price
of Wheat

. . \
About Senator Harding for President:
The voters in this county and state
and other states who have heard me
speak on matters political, know that
am advocating solution Of the
wrongs in the marketing of wheat,
viz:
Have committee or board, COM
posed Of one man from each Spring
wheat proving state, this committee
to ascertain the cost of producing
wheat, supply and demand all over
the world. The committee to repre-
sent the farmers and all expenses in
CURED by them paid by the farmers.
This Committee clothed with such
data will set or regulate the price
of wheat and the local elevator agents
will obtain the prices from the Farm
ers' committee.
In substantiation Of my plan I call
attention to the fact that a Board
or Committee sets or regulates the
prices for Standard Co., Packing
House Co.'s, Lumber Co.'S, Implement
Co.'S, over a larger territory than the
Spring wheat area.
My plan Of solving the problem by
cooperation is to be accomplished thru
the Federation Of Farm Bureaus. Ev-
cry farmer who believes in my plan
of solution should at once join the
county farm bureau.
The National Grange, Farmers I'm
ion, and other cooperative farmers
organizations and advocates are join
ing hands with the Federation Of
Farm Bureaus. I have the personal
assurance from the National Master
Lowell Of the Grange, and who has

Bacon Recognized as Live Wire


The Roosevelt Highway, published
at Williston, has the following to say
about A. F. Bacon, Minot man, who
does things:
"a. F. Bacon, Of the Minot Display
Ad Co., the man who personally
marked the trail from Devils Lake tc
Buford, is not only sign writer but
a real road enthusiast. Some one
told the president the other day that
this man Bacon took more interest
in the Roosevelt Highway than the
officers did. Of course, we claim
to be the most interested people along
the Highway, but we are willing that
Mr.. Bacon has the distinction he has
His work has been highly satisfactory
in every way, and from daylight to
dark when marking the highway he
has worked like Trojan and talked
the Roosevelt Highway to every man
he met, telling what the Highway
means to the north half of North Da-
kota. We are for Bacon, for he
brings home the bacon.
