to keep moral pace with the times.
1t is probably nc more than placing
of emphasis on the weaker side Of hu-
manity, whereas the better side at
tracts but little attention.
When the men and women Of the
present generation were young there
vas not so much publicity as there is
today. The latest scandal was not
smeared all over the first page of the
morning paper, ready to be read at
the breakfast table. The daily press
did not go into every sensational de-
tail then, as is too often done now.
The morbid curiosity was existent
then as much as now, but the press
was more considerate in the matter Of
publishing nauseating details and
placing them before the young chill
dren of the day. 1t was not tie Gus
tom of the time.
We have many millions more peo-
pie than we had fifty years ago, hence
there is naturally more crime to be
expected and chronicled. Then, too,
the freedom of the press make it ap
pear eve more numerous than it real
ly is.
Regardless Of the moral fifth that is
being paraded before the public day
after day we do not believe the Amer
lean people are dege~nerating. A GER
tain noise making and stencil produc-
ing minority are, but the people as a
class are as clean minded as any
people on earth-more so than those
of some nations we might mention.
A strengthening and tightening up
Of law and order would be beneficial,
and that will come in time, just as it
did in the old frontier days when the
siX-gun ruled.
The law-abiding element will stand
lust about a certain amount Of skull
duggery and ruffianism, and then its
patience will snap.
When the debris is cleared away we
will be morally cleaner, healthier and
better in every way.
The American mind rises above a
continual state of debauchery.

ARE We DEGENERATNG?

The constant and amending stream
Of murders, robberies, pilferings,
breaches of trust, divorces, scandals,
and other of -colorings of humanity
portrayed in the daily press lead many
to the belief that the American peo-
pie as a race are deteriorating.
Certainly the indictment is terrific
and APPALLING, with but limited cor
receive measures applied.
1t does not necessarily imply. though
that the people as a whole are failing

WEEKLY GRAIN
MARKET REVIEW
Minneapolis, Jan. Z, 1921.

JAN {, 1871
There was a firm tone in all grains
the past week. On an accumulation
of constructive news items and on a
general expression of confidence in
future developments on the part of
leading business men, some advan-
ces were registered. 1t was evident,
however, that something more tangi-
Bile was needed to sustain the market,
for, Eve with shallow, over-worked
and discounted bearish items, re-
lapses nevertheless were frequent.
Broomhall is now quoted as fgur-
ing world wheat ex%portable surplus
at $40 million and a world wheat i'm
port requirement of $50 million. 1t
was not clear what if any figures
were contemplated as next year car
ry-overs. There are rumors of addi-
tional export sales, but with Argen-
tine wheat at 15c a bushel cheaper
and in view of our large sales over
seas to date, further heavy export
sales are unlikely. 1t seems to us in
any event that wheat is already in a
sufficiently strong domestic statisti-
cal position to be practically indie
pendent of further export business.
There is nowhere any great pressure

of wheat, especially of the better mil
ling varieties and, with millers re-
porting some improvement in flour
orders, many in the trade anticipate
higher premiums
Reports from our branch offices in
dictate an extremely light movement
from first hands. U~nseasonably soft
weather throughout the corn belt is
mainly the cause for the shortage at
country elevators, although feeding
as against the present corn price is
a very attractive proposition to the
producer. The larger corn industries
are now re-entering the market and
should soon be operating close to
normal. While in a position to COM
pete with and undersell Argentine
there has been a fair amount of corn
worked for export, which even in the
face of wheat relapses had the eff
feet of sustaining corr values. In
oats there is little or no indepen-
dence displayed. The market simply
is devoid of feature.
Although receipts of all grains
continue quite disappointing the buy
ing slump has more than offset the
comparatively scanty supplies. A
general domestic buying revival for
5he near future seems to be a gener-
al opinion (if not a hope) in all
ines, but since continued buying
oostponement of necessities only in
later requirements, it would
that the situation can grow no
worse and that a change now must be
or a better demand. The United

EQUITY SETS DATES OF ANNUAL STATE
CO-OPERATOR'S CONGRESS AT G. FALLS

The Montana State Union, Ameri-
can Society of Equity, with head
quarters at Great Falls, have in the
past FIVE years built up a very strong
economic farm organization which
ranks today by far the strongest in
the state, and every year the annual
convention is held that brings mem
bers of this society together from all
parts of the state and they particul-
arly feature what is known as a Go
operators Congress- which brings
together speakers from all parts of
the United States, at which time the
problems of marketing + discussed
from every angle.

dates which have been given out by
the officers of the Equity as the dates
for the 9th annual convention and
Co-operator's Congress to be held in
Great Falls, and judging from the ac-
ceptances coming in from the speak
who have been invited to participate,
the committee feels safe in stating
that the coming convention and Co
operators Congress will surpass any
previous convention held in the state
by the society.
The officers of the Equity feel in
debted to the University and Agri-
cultural College of Montana for the
