1920 WHEAT

Than For 1919
Product

Bismarck, N. D.-The excuse Of
the grain gamblers, that prices have
dropped because Of reduced world
demand for wheat, and reduced ex-
ports from the United States, is mer-
cilessly riddled and exposed as . lie
by the Bank Of North Dkota in its
January bulletin, Manager F. ".
Cathro, using the figures furnished
by the United States department Of
commerce, shows that exports for
1920 were considerably larger than
for 1919. Not only SO, but European
buyers paid more for the 1920 wheat,
bushel for bushel, than for the 1919
wheat. AS farmers were paid less in
1920 than in 1919, Mr.. Cathro charges
that, somewhere between the farms
and the export buyers, someone, has
pocketed a spread Of more than. 1876
per cent between the North Dakota
price and the price paid by foreign
nations for that wheat. s

COAL PRICES

Duluth But Not
I In Devils Lake

Duluth, Minn.-From a top Of $14
Wholesale few weeks ago, the whole
sale Or dock prices Of Youghiogheny
splint and hooking coal has dropped
to $3.50 and 1925 a ton, according
to quotations here. Screenings are
now quoted at $3.50 and $7.25. The
Duluth retail price is dock price plus
$2.75 q ton. >
Curtailment In consumption caused
by the unusually mild weather con-
ditions during the last three months
is given as the reason for decrease in
prices.
Hard coal prices are unchanged
and no break is expected as present
supplies are estimated to be barely
sufficient to last through the bal
ance of the winter. Dealers assert
stocks of nut coal are almost ex-
hausted.
Note:-Only a slight decrease since
early fall has been noted in coal prices
n Devils Lake altho it is believed the
next month will see lower quotations
at local yards.

TO ANNOUNCE
CABINET NOW

Marion, Ohio.-The task Of select
ing cabinet has been found so diff
cult by President-elect Harding that
he has given up his plan Of making
early definite selections for two or
three Of, the most important. port
folios. Az Il 1:'.-
Without indicating the exact nature
of the complications he has @encoun-
tered, the president-elec said tonight
that after several weeks 'of consulta-
.tions he was not disposed to commit
himself in regard to anyone Of the
cabinet places until he was ready TO
make final selections for all Of them.
He added that he considered his diff
culties only normal ifestations on
personal and factional cross currents.
He did not predict when he might
come to- q decision, but his sattitude
generally was accepted here as in
dicating that no definite selections
will be announced until Just prior to
his inauguration. s.,.52 /

w. HI. Brown, Director,
Promises A Live
Store

The United Consumers Stores COM
pany here is moving into the, legiti-
mate field Of merchandising in Dew
lis Lake along new lines from those
it has generally followed since incep-
tion Of the statewide organization. The
public is invited to trade at the store,
"the same as in any other" w. H.
Brown, director, declared this week
when he ordered insertion Of large
display advertisement in TIE World.
The Consumers store, as the place
is generally referred to, has hereto
fore been thought to permit trading
only with those persons financially in
,terested in the venture. "The public
should know now that we are open for
BUSINESS here just the same as any
other store the only difference in our
operation, happens. to be that we are
owned by farmers instead Of city
folks" one Interested party said.
Much criticismm has been hurled at
the institution because Of its associa-
tion with the Nonpartisan league. It
appears now, however that Mr.. Brown
and A. D. Torfin, the latter manager,
are starting out to absolve any ideas
that the store here is not local bus
mess institution-the same as any
other store. It is a local institution.
Both Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Torfin, un-
der the new plan already in motion;
promise to give the public live in
stitution where. general merchandise
may be bought. Regular channels cf
competition only will be indulged in
it is said.

THACKERAY NEVER THEATRICAL From "Thackeray and the Theatre"
 by Brander Matthews, in the Scrib-
 ner.
 In the never-ending comparisons and contrasts between Thack cray and Dickens--which show no sign of abating even now when the younger of the two has been dead for half a century-one striking difference be- tween them has often been dwelt upon-Dickens was necessarily the- trical, in his dress. in his novels, In his readings. whereas Thackeray shrank from all theatricality, in his own apparel. in his fiction. and Tn his featuring. Dickens delighted in reading the most dramatic passages from his novels. actually impersonat- Ing the characters. and adjusting the lighting of his reading desk so as to enable his hearers to see his swiftly changing expression. Thackeray' s lectures were narratives enhanced in interest by anecdote and by criti- cism; he read them simply, seeking no surcharged effects; and he dis liked his task.

 A golfer was returning from the links when he saw his street car about to start. Making sprint for ward, he was about to board it. when a woman hailed him from nearby house.
 Here, mister" she cried. He hesitated a moment, and the car was gone, so he shouldered his heavy golf bag and made towaiv the house. The woman's head had disappeared from the window now. but he could still hear her in the upper room call ing:
 Here, mister!" After much deliberation as to whether he should leave his loaded bag downstairs or take 1t up with him. he decided on the former. and toiled up numerous flights of stairs.
 When he reached the top of the house the woman said:
