Wheat jumped up eleven cents a
bushel yesterday. The new emergency
tariff bill was signed by President
Harding Saturday and Sunday and
Monday were holidays so that practi-
cally the first day after the bill went
into effect wheat advanced materially
in price Congressman Young is the
father Of that bill and there is an old
saying "let George do it," and by
leck, it seems as if George had done
The other day Poland paid the
eague of nations $67,276, being it's
hare of the cost of upkeep of that
recious institution. Now Polish SOL
iers are called upon TO withstand the
ssaults of German troops in Sllesla,
lille the league looks on with appar-
Mt approval Of the German efforts
ust what does Poland think she got
n her money. And if the United
;ates had belonged to the league OF
lions what would it's bill nave beer!
For the past hundred years the COW
$ been looked upon and referred to
the mortgage litter for the farmers
this country. But under the New
" the COW yields her position to
Airedale pup. AS yet this new
ndition obtains only in North Dako-
; the other forty-seven states being
dictionary. But our large army OF
ond sellers will undoubtedly be able
make some of the other states see
ne error of their ways.-The hide

At Bismarck the boys and girls
wanted swimming pool and the only
way to get it was to work up enough
sentiment among the people of the
capital city to get the money, so
novel way was devised. Committees
were appointed to raise the "dough''
and the young folks went around and
sold business men and others sack
of cement, the total amounting to
enough to furnish the cement and as
result the young folks of Bismarck
will have swimming pool in which
to enjoy themselves during the warm
weather year after year. The selling
of this cement so literally is what
you might call concrete example of
cooperation, isn't it?
The latest move in the Mckenzie
slate to control state federal appoint
ments we learn, is for the appoint
ment of M. L. Mcbride. of Dickinson
N. D., to be United States district at
torney in the place of NJ. A. Hildreth,
the present incumbent, and who it has
been reported, has been asked to hand
in his resignation. Senator Ladd is
working hard to keep Hildreth on the
job while Porter J. McCumber, our
senior senator, will no doubt get the
ear of the appointing power, and Nc
Bride will land in the usual course of
political events. Anyway. when the
Fargo Forum asked Mr.. Hildreth II
he had been asked to resign, the
Forum says that gentleman was very
rude and told the Forum to keep it's
damned nose out of his business"
That is where Mr.. Hildreth made a
big mistake. The Forum is now max
ing that subject considerable of its
business.
The supreme court has handed down
decision denying the right of the
house of representatives to pay for
the investigation held last winter at
Bismarck. The attorneys who con-
Quoted the investigation are denied
nav. The senate being league gov
erned institution, gets its heelers paid.
The leaders of the senate and all those
who were in the employ of the league
bossed senate get their pay-the only
ones who get nothing are the witness
es who were hauled up to Bismarck
bv Boss Liederbach and who had to
pav their own travelling expenses. AT
least we have some mileage coming
from a fool jaunt to the capital at the
behest of this great savior of the peo-
pies rights-for revenue only. 1t all
depends on what political side you
happen to be on if you get any bills
paid at Bismarck.
In the vicinity of Westfield. Mass.
the pTOQucC1ON OF ,lNllk has So 4dI OuI-
stripped it's consumption that produc-
ers are either feeding their milk to the
hogs or throwing it away. At the
same time milk is retailing at from
IS to Is cents quart. Large deal
ers (dairymen) refuse to pay more
than small price for the surplus"
says the news item. "and the produc-
ers say that this price does not war
rant delivery. Efforts have been
made to increase consumption among
school children who are under normal
weight. but at present prices parents
refuse to buy more than is necessary
for the table," Will the economist
who depends so implicitly on the law
If supply and demands study that
question and tell US what is wrong
how to remedy it, and why it should
not be remedied at once?
Many politicians are getting to be
leeply concerned about the Valley
City postofice-particularly those on
