certain questions affecting Irish allegi-
ance to the British crown. and there
was a belief that Mr.. Collins had gone
to Dublin to talk the situation oyer
with his colleagues. 1t was supposed
he brought a communication from
Eamonn DeVa!era, and 1t was felt
that upon this answer and the. atti-
tude taken by the Dali Eireann dele
gates would depend the continuance
of the negotiations.
Pessimism Prevails.
At Sim Fein headquarters here the
attitude of h~opefulness which had
prevailed gave way to pessimism aft
er the return of Michael Collins from
Dublin, the fear being expressed that
insistance upon a declaration of all
legiance to the king by Premier
Lloyd George would result in the
breaking off of the conference. s.
It was pointed out, on behalf Of the
Sim Fem, that this condition wax re-
pudiated by the Dali Eireann and that
there was substituted for it the for
mula Of Association with the British
empire" The Sim Fem, it was de-
cared, is willing to continue the con-
ference according to nat formula, but
will not accept allegiance to the king.

made.
At the Irish office this morning it
was stated that allegiance to- the king
was a necessary consequence to COM
ing into the British empire and except
on the basis Of Ireland remaining in
the empire no conference was possi-
bIe.

MUCH MORE GRAIN
In ELEVATORS
THAN In 1920

Minneapolis, Oct. 24.-Three times
as much, grain stocks are stored in
terminal elevators here this year ais
compared with 1920, compilations OF
the Minneapolis Traffic association
show. h amount Of grain listed this
year Is exclusive OF stocks in-many of
the large -four mill elevators. which
have a capacity of 1900, 900 bushels.
I Taking the middle of October as a
comparison date, the figures show
that on October IA. 1920. total term
inal elevator stocks amounted to o.
632.562 bushels, while one wear later
the total was 2~7.110.748 bushels.
b Members of the Traffic association
could not ascribe any definite reason
Tor h remarkable increase save the
fact the elevators were not emptied
In July, as has been the case In pre-
Svous years. A much larger storage
or oats is noted this year, Indicating
the holding of that grain by farmers,
members OF the association believed.
Belief that farmers, weres storing
Their grain earlier this year than be-
fore for the purpose Of loaning money
on their stocks to pay Off old bills was
expressed by the traffic association.
Although the -four mills elevators
have a capacity Of Il 5000, 900 bushels.
it was thought no more than $780,
600 bushels of grain are stored there,
which could give this city's total
stock stored in elevators at mid
October at about 1000, 900 bushels.

Still Maintains His
Paper Is League Booster,
But Says "For Best Inter
est OF Farmers, Frazier,
Lemke And Hagan Must
J Be Outside.

SCI LIN HNH#. - t&%-
Fargo, N. d., Oct. 24.-One Of the
most influential Nonpartisan news
papers in Minnesota, the Fremtiden
Of st. Paul a Norwegian league
weekly, has come out boldly for the
recall Of Frazier, Lemke n Hagan.
The Fremtiden claims to be az much
Of a Nonpartisan newspaper as ever,
of the real farmers prosram-ther So
luton of the marketing problems,
rural credits at cost and others-de-
mands leaders like the members of
the North Dakota industrial commits
don be recalled from once.
The editor Of the Fremtiden ex-
plains that he made a special trip to
North Dakota to investigate the
charges and counter charges at close
range, and he also made extensive
trips through Morse settlements in
several counties In order to ascertain
the sentiment in the various COM
munities.
Editors Conclusions.
This Is the conclusions Editor Rod
vk comes to:
The league leaders In North
Dakota have betrayed the con-
fdence of Nonpartisan league
members; they; have been insin-
cere in their promises to the
farmers; they have been over
bearing IN InelF taCtICs, foCkloos
IN expenditures, a!profigate end
wasteful with money entrusted to
their care by the farmers and
they have used tho prestige and
influence of the farmers organt-
cation for personal benefit.
The state administration has
mismanaged the industrial enter
prises started under the new day
program. s~quandered public
money and by waste and. extrava-
gance the Industrial commission
! has added millions to tho tax
burden of the state.
The league administration has
shifted the tax burden. to tho
shoulders Of the farmers; in 1917
the railroads paid nearly twenty
per cent, one-flfth of h state
taxes, while the farmers paid less
than fifty-five per cent; in 1919,
after two years of league govern
mont. the railroads pay fourteen
per cent, while the farmers nave
been raised to- seventy-one.

influential League
Paper of Minnesota
In FAVOR of Recall

The Fremtiden finds that every
charge directed against Frazier,
Ldmke, and Hagan by the Inde-
pendents are proved true by pub
lie records. 2}
The editor. Of the Fremuden
further found that, league men,
beers are getting dissatisfied with :
Joining The opposition in large
numbers; that Frazier. by his
acquiescence, and Lemke and
Hagan, by their direct violations
Of the laws, have disguised good
NJ leaguers everywhere. y.
AS q result Of all this the Frem-
tiden comes to the conclusion
that Nestos. johnson and Kitchen
will win by a large majority next !
Friday.
Country Interested.
Writing under his own name, the
editor OF the Fremtiden says:
There is no doubt that the entire
country is deeply interested in the re-
call fight now going on in North Da-
kota where the people are split into
two opposing camps. Most noticeable
Is this interest in North Dakota's

with the political fights both in Min
nesota and our sister state to the west
during the,flast past years, I have
tried to keep abreast Of events. and
I recently made a trip through North
Dakota in the interest Of my paper
and I had then occasion to interview
prominent leAguers in several counties.
LEAGUERS DOUBTFUL. "
among these leaders were j..
O. Lcum, Mayville; r. T. Fugie-
stad, COopcrstown; Hon. Andrew
OksendAhl, Tunbridge; j. r. Ber.

and HI. 81. Olson of New Rock

opinions. as to the issues were
Numerically opposed in, the two
camps, bnt as to the results Of the
election, the Independents we're
everywhere optimistic, while the
leaguers WIZ doubtful.
The Reason.
1.-THE eason for this Is that the
league leaders have betrayed their
promises to tho farmers, and I feel
personally that the most important
planks in the league program. will
out by the Independents than by the
present administration, and many
North Dakota leaguerS are Of the
same opinion and are going to vote
accordingly.
TT is not tho league program, but
the question Of how to carry It into
effect which Is to be the deciding issue
in the North Dakota recall campaign.
That q state or a nation may own and
manage certain industries or estAb-
lishments which are found to be- Of

nothing new this day and age. This
does not brighten anybody any more.
But North Dakota is concerned about
how to save what has been started BY
the league administration and about
how to try 1t out fairly. ~,
The league leaders have so far
iron hand. that everything that the
stete has anything to do with shall
be controlled and administered to the
least detail by a few selected or self
appointed leaders. Whipped into line,

Problems Of the Farm
Receive More Attention

Editorial in Canon City Record.
At the present time the problems
confronting the farmer and affecting
the agricultural industry as whole
are receiving more attention in gov
ernmcnt and business circles than at
any time in the history OF our nation.
Many reasons might be ascribed for
this unusual condition. but 1t Is GER
tainty that there has been sudden
and widespread realization OF the fact
that the farmer must prosper before
other business can expect to exist and
1t has only been within the last few
months that many Of the leaders in
congress and out have been convinced
that the farmer Is not prosperous and
that his industry Is in a deplorable
condition. That this condition has not
been more generally realized hereto
fore has no doubt been due to the fact
that actual conditions and their causes
havo not been brought forcibly to the
attention OF the general public.

GOOD EXAMPLE FOR PUEBLO CO.
and SHOULD Be ACTED ON SOON
Description Of Fine Local Farm Temple Such as Would
Be Of Great Convenience and Daily Comfort
In This Locality

A far-back southern county, In a
now state not yet far along, makes a
remarkable start in the interests OF Its
country people. a cooperation very dif-
ferent from political schemes and al
together practical.
1t is such a neighborhood work as
could be put In operation almost any
where with the right kind of leader
ship.
1t is an enterprise such as would be
of immense value right here in Pueblo
county, and is herewith presented In
the hope that the description will be
seriously studied and carefully con-
Adsred.
AS to tho necessary site for build
Ing, it is going to be narrow escape
for II number OF kindred affairs that
will need ground in suitable location
In this city, for the present oppor-
tunity can surely not last long. Right
now real estate continues under a
cloud. but this will lift all at once and
a better realization will como sud-
denly.
THIS rs THE GOOD STORY
1t Is a letter from Gallup. n. NJ. to
one of the Durango papers:
The farmers in Dona Ana county.
New Mexico, have as their official
home at Las Cruces the first temple Of
agriculture in the world. The brick
structure is located WITHIN two blocks
OF the heart OF the business district.
and houses the officers of the farm
bureau and It's cooperative and mark
citing associations, the officers OF tho
Elephant Butte irrigation district OF
the New Mexico. Texas and Rio Grande
project, and several departments OF
the United States reclamation service.
Ten thousand dollars. the cost OF the
building, Will be absorbed in ten years
thru saving in rentals, which
amounts to $1,000 annually. Thus the
members OF the farm bureau and the
irrigation district Will not be called
upon TO pay a single dollar for the
property.
The front part of tho first floor Of
tho temple is devoted to business OF
