HawaiianS Campaign
Against Opium Trade

HONOLULU, oct 15.-There is
weeping ana gnashing of teeth today
In certain sections of Honolulu's Chi
natown. for the price of opium has
hit the unprecedented level of $3.50 n
tin and Is almost unobtanable at any
price, according to INSIDE info ob-
tained by the customs inspectors in
charge of this end of the work.
The latest jump in the price Of
dream stuff is the third within one
month customs officials say. \ month
ago seventy American dollars pressed
into certain slim brown hands would
bring forth n tin of opium. a week
ago the price rose to $l35. Now it is
$50. And nobody dares predict where
it will stop.
The rapid rise in the price of the
drug is attributed TO the presence in
Hawaiian waters Of the new revenue
cutter carp, manned by a vigilant
and efficient crew, who keep re-
morselessly on the trail of suspected
smugglers and dealers in the drug.
A few days ago a well-planned raid
resulted in the the removal of 432 tins
OF opium from the market, loss OF
about $50 900 to Illicit traffickers and
the shortage thus created resulted in
the latest jump in price.

STATE ASSOCIATION URGING
SUPPORT. OF FARMER-OWNED
GRAIN MARKETING SYSTEM

Illinois probably will decide the
issue. The national economic
struggle began last week in La
Sale and Mclean counties and will
be waged in every grain marketing
county in the state before winter.
1t is generally admitted that the
national success or failure of the
plan depends a great deal upon its
reception in Illinois.
Arrayed on one side is the new
farmer-owned grain marketing cor
poration. the United States Grain
Growers, Inc, with Offices in Chi
cago. c. FL. Gustafson, a Nebraska
grain farmer, is its president, and
William G. Eckhardt, farmer and
grain marketing expert Of DeKalb
county, Illinois, its treasurer. Rob-
ert N. Clarke, a Henderson county,
Illinois farmer, is in charge of IL
linois organization.
Backing the new corporation is
the Illinois Agricultural associa-
ton with 10000 farmer members
in 80 county farm bureaus, repre-
senting probably more than half of
the farm acreage of the state.
Lined up against the farmers
cooperative company is the special
executive committee of the Grain
Dealers National association, with

Especial to The Argus.l

Springfield, Ill, Aug. 11.-Sup-
port of the organization OF the
United States Grain Growers cor
poration which will mean the elm
ination of undue speculation, which
will return TO the grower and con-
sumner the excessive. speculative
profits now claimed by the ex-
changes, and which aims to use all
existing machinery OF marketing,
competing on an honorable bust
ness basis with firms who cannot
see fit to cooperate, according to
the Illinois Agricultural association
of which Palmer Edgerton, Rock
Island county advisor, is a member,
is urged by the association.
Through its publicity department,
the association is asking for sup
port of a farmer-owned grain mar
keting system, in a series of three
articles issued this week. The first
follows:
VIII farmers OF America success
fully organize a national farmer
owned, farmer-controlled grain COZ
poration in competition to the pres
ent grain marketing system2 Or,
will organized grain dealers of the
country successfully defend exist
ing marketing institutions from
farmer competition?

of Trade as chairman. Four other
members of grain exchanges be-
long to the committee. Thomas T.
Hoyne, market reporter for a
Chicago newspaper, is actively aid
ing the committee. AS resources,
the committee has a minimum of
$3.50, 900 pledged at the convention
of the Grain Dealers National
association at Cincinnati for an ed
ucational campain among farm
ers"
The marketing plan OF the pro-
posed farmer-owned corporation is
briefly this:
1. The organization of a nation -
corporation to market country wide
grain strictly on a supply and de-
mand basis, all profits above hand
ling expenses to be returned to
growers 2. The signing of local
elevators to market all their prod
uct through this national corpora
ton. 8. The signing of farmers on
5-year contracts to market all their
grain above that used on their own
farms through elevators which are
members of the farmers national
corporation Growers are to be
given their choice of several sales
methods: Outright selling, as under
the present system; consignment
direct to the sales organization of
the national corporation; and pools
of grain with other growers rang
ing from local pools to national
pool.
The present marketing system, in
contrast, allows growers only the
outright method of sale and does
not allow representatives of farm

WILL NOT MOVE
VALPARAISO "?
Project Once Considered in Roch
Island - Old School Coming
Back Into Its Own.

Rock Island nor any other city
except Valparaiso, Ind. will have
the university bearing that name.
At one. time proposal to place the
new Valparaiso university in Rock
Island, or some 9th n city because
of the failure of the townspeople 10
subscribe an endowment OF $780,
600, was widely heralded. Internal
dissension in the college manage
ment, which inspired threat to re-
move the school, has been ended
and all factions are united now in
restoring the school to its previous
high ranking.
The old school With which Val
paraiso started as a Methodist in
stitution was founded before the
Civil war. In 1873 it became a
normal school, and later, under the
management of II. b. Brown and
his associate, o. Z. Kinsey, devel-
oped into a curious and successful
university, sometimes nicknamed
the poor mans Harvard" which
supplied a college education at less
cost and with fewer formalities,
perhaps, than any other institution
in the United States.
Arthur Ruhl, in current issue Of
Leslie's Weekly. has told the story
of the school in capable manner,
referring incidentally to the Rock
Island incident OF last spring:
AT the height of it. success, be-
fore the war, Valparaiso, in num-
bers, was the second institution in
the country and it offered instruc-
ton in law, medicine, engineering
and dentistry, in addition to high
school course and the usual aca-
demic subjects" Mr.. Ruhl wrote.
In Indiana they generally refer
to the institution of learning as
Old Valpo.' Its Official name is

Valparaiso university. Until re-
Gently its fame was confined to the
nniddle-west. but not long ago it
received some Of the brightest
beams OF the limelight when its
president, following a row with the
students, suddenly resigned and
announced that old Valpo' had de-
generated into a hot-bed OF boil
sheYism and other modern move
ments.
THE government is now sending
a lot of ex-service men to Valpa-
raise. and that will help in the
present. The applications for ad-
mission are said to be coming in
briskly again. In short, Valpa-
raiso seemed to be starting another
lap in its novel and useful life.

Some of the advantages OF the
new marketing plan, as outlined
by its organizers, are:
First: by eliminating undue spec
ulation. as now exists, it will allow
the law of supply and demand to
function normally and 'intelligently
and will insure a steady market to
the grower and a steady price to
the consumer.
Second: it will return to the
grower and consumer the excessive

Third: 1t is a constructive rather
than a destructive plan and aims
to use, as far as possible. all exist

Some advantage of the present

JUST BOUNDARIES NOT
DRAWN, BRYCE SAYS

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug.
A fresh statement by Viscount
Bryce of the faults he imputed tc
the peace treaty as final word III
his controversy with Senator Tom
osso Tittoni over Italy's rights in the
southern Tyrol, and general review
of the factors and the influences
making for war or for peace in mod
ern civilization We're the outstanding
features of the great British diplo-,
matists lecture on international
Relations of the Old World" deliv-
cred this morning at Williams Col
lege.
In regard to the conferees of Ver-
sailles, Lord Bryce declared it was
not the failure to accomplish the
impossible which deserved censure
but rather the fact that in many
cases they did not do what should
have been done to draw just bound
aries and to ascertain the wishes of
the populations concerned. Among
these failures despite the objection
raised by Senator Tittoni on the in
stitutes platform last Saturday night
Lord Bryce again listed secession of
the Austrian Tyrol to Italy.
I'm this and in other cases." he
said, sit is to be feared that discon-
tent due to a sense of injustice viii
injure the states who have received
unwilling subjects and will become
the source of many troubles in the
future. Exhaustion will prevent the
belligerents of 1918 from entering in
wars in the next few years but some
of the minor states may take up
arms against others whom they
think no better prepared than them
selves"
