Market Raiders Have
Paralyzed Trading

From Canada comes authentic in
formation that oat growers in Alber-
ia, and TO a somewhat less extent,
other grain growers in Saskatchewan
and Manitoba, dare not risk consign-
ing their grain to the markets be-
cause the prices prevailing are SO low
that in addition to all returns they
may be called upon to add a check to
cover the. cost Of the freight. Cana
dian farmers have realized little if
any better grain prices than United
States farmers.
Cattle and sheep prices in the Y.
S. markets are now so low that
sheep will not pay transportation and
selling charges, unless butcher lambs
and milk cows and thin killing cows
can not be shipped by rail except
short distances for the same reason.
Recent inquiries by farmers in cut
over timber lands of Minnesota for
animals Of this class to consume their
grass, brought out. the fact that they
are not to be had because owners are
deserving the markets.

u S. GRAIN GROW
Frs NOT ATTEMPT
ING TO DOMINATE

MANY inquiries of various coopera-
tive organizations indicate there is q
general fear on the part of managers,
leaders, stockholders, directors and
other persons connected with cooper
alive grain elevators and organlza-
lions that the u. S. Grain Growers
Inc. are planning to occupy the en-
tire field Of cooperative marketing,
and exclude or supersede all others;
This intention has been frequently
denied by prominent persons connect
ed with the Committee OF Seventeen
and by directors of the newly incor-
porated company. It has been stated
frequently on good authority that
there will be no attempt on the part
of the u. S. Grain Growers to dis
place any organized cooperative com
many. hut that it will link up its &C.
tiyities with those that have preceded
& and cooperate with them. No con
flict IS contemplated. The most au
thoritative statement on this point Il
contained in the report OF the Com
mittee of Seventeen, which was adopt
ed at Chicago April Z. A paragraph
referring to the cooperative move
ment, reads as follows: -,
saThis movement began original!
by the organization of farmer coop
erative elevator companies to operat'
on the local markets. 1t has, hoWev

AS it is. Just about one year today,
June s. since / made my first public
weather forecast. /. will briefly. re-
view the most notable and important
of the forecasts, most OF which are
well known by thousands who nave
heard my lectures, or read the press.
One of the first was made one year
ago when / predicted that it would
rain considerable from the 10Th OF
June. until the 9th, 1920. It rained
every day or two from the 10th to the
26th. and very little rain from then
until the, fall rains, which also came
on the very day named.
We then made a public pred1ctlon
through the papers that election DAY
would be fine over Montana and North
Dakota.
I predicted mild winter and warm
February, cold spring, cool summer,
free from hot winds, plenty Of mois-
ture for June and July, generally ov-
er the semi-arid regions, and that
we would hear of the deadly and dew
astating work of many storms.
I have claimed that the drouth
would be broken this spring, and we
would begin to get normal rains again
and that the June rains would start
early, and promptly at the storm
periods: the first central the 9Th, also
the 18th and 18th, which are under
the Mercury influence which is wet,
as explained before.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
BY ANN LESLIE.

I thought you were coming out to-
 morrow with mother" Anne stopped for me We drove out in her little car-to surprise you" replied Neal with emotion that
 astonished me. Did he care for Evvy, after all?
 '"ro surprise me-" laughed Evvy
 curtly. Well, you did. What are
 you going to do abeut ?'' l Take my sister homei" NeaFs voice rang out and he start ed toward ne with boyish concern for what he thought I was undergoing. 1 But strangely enough I was under going nothing of what he thought,
 Jim's eyes-the touch of Jim's hand had told me that l had nothing to fear or to recent; that there was a reason for his being here and that the reason would satisfy me com
 pletely. At Meals words Jim turned
 and looked at Neal-smi1ing as if he were waiting for something. 'TH take Anne home, Neal. Per | haps you owe Neal some explanation
 of our tete-a-tete, Evvy,'' he added | careless1y, we'll run along and leave you tn-straighten things out" | As e spoke, his arm slid about my l shoulders and I leaned close to him. expressing silently, the love and faith I felt.
 1 Evvy studied us sneerins1y for
 moment-then she flung her arms out
 in a gesture of fury. 50 you've been making a fool of
 me again, Jim Harrison. Perhaps l you staged this whole thing. You've 1 been playing with me just as you did | before. l wish knew what it is you
 want of me-so I wouldn't have to do
 it this time. Well, run along-run
 along, you two. I wish you joy, you and your trusting wife" | 'Evvy!' cried Neal. You're speak
 ing to my sister! And it isn't Anne 1 who haS-offended you" At this Evyy turned on him with ! look of utter scorn. You fool" she said. You young
 foolt Jim Harrison has you twisted
 around his finger, too. Here! I've
 had you twisted around mine long
 enough"
 She jerked her engagement ring
 from her hand and flung it on the | table among the glasses and plates.
 Then she turned on Jim, shaking with
 rage:
 T hate yout" she cried. 'I only wish l could show you how much 1 i hate you. Why did you call me back | again? And nowyou stand there faunt- | ing your love for Anne in my face!
 Why don't you say something? Why don't you explain your fickle, philan- dering nature? Perhaps you think I'll | take you back again some day. But I won't-I'm through! You've made your choice of your angel-faced wife. You may stick to her for all of me and I'll throw in her sweet baby 1 brother for luck" Then she rushed out of the Sum
 mer house.
 We could hear her flying feet on
 the pebbles of the path, and then after
 a. moment the chug-chug of a motor. l l looked at Neal. He seemed sud- denly old and tired. But he didn't appear to be noticing Evvys depar-
 ture, nor yet the ring sparkling oA l the tea tray.
 1 Instead he was watching Jim and
 me with breeding, troubled eyes. CTo Be Continued.)
