First our government appointed a
commission to handle crop of
wheat at the guaranteed price. made
q ruling or placed an embargo on
wheat SO that it could not be shipped
into this country from other cour-,
wheat from being hauled into our
country and sold here from farmers
wagons or sleds. The price at Han
man, North Dakota, ran about soc per
bushel more than at nearby points
in Canada. The port of entry at Han
nah. North Dakota. received more
than 100000 bushels of Canadian
wheat from farmers in the crop year
Of 1919. There are fifteen ports Of
entry along the border in District No.
81. The revenue collector at Hannah
at that time tells me he is quite sure
that Zach of them received as much
wheat as Hannah did. If they did, it
would total 10000 0 bushels Some
amount of wheat for our market to
absorb! And say, most of it was sold
on the floor of the Minneapolis Cham
Der of Commerce.
Many readers Of the Herald do not
know what was done by the Canadian
government for Canadian farmers. l
am. going to tell them just what they
did do. First, the. Canadian govern
ment appointed a commission to han
die and sell their wheat and fixed the
basic price at Port William. on Lake
Superior, at $2.15 per bushel. The
Commission sold the wheat for all
they could get. The farmer received
q participation receipt when he de-
Then the commission paid to each
farmer for his participation receipt
the excess price they received for the
wheat, which was 5Sc on each bushel,
making a total of $2.73 a bushel at
Fort William. That price was good
until July 1, 1920.
Many Of our farmers in North Da-
kota sold their wheat in 1919 for
over $500 per bushel at their local
elevators and the average price paid
at Minneapolis for No. / lark North
ern throughout that season was $3.05
per bushel as compared with $2.73 at
Fort William. Still, they point out
to us that we farmers are being rob-
bed right and left by the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce. Our markets
look good to me-.
I hadn't intended answering any of
the questions Mr.. Van Berkman asked
this: HAS Mr.. Scot bought any
farm machinery lately?"
MY dear boy, 1 have been buying
farm machinery for fifty years, when
ever I needed any. I've been operat-
ing a 1000 acre farm for many, many
years. The first binder 1 bought, a
Hheavy cumbersome, five and one-halt
cut wire binder, cost me $4,000 OF
400 bushels of wheat. No intelligent
sane farmer would take that binder
as a gift now, and use it. He couldn't
afford to harvest his grain with it
The last binder I bought in 1919 cost
me $4,000, or about 100 bushels OF
wheat"
I still believe that future trading
in wheat furnishes a better marke,
and price for wheat than we can &c,
without it. And l plan to SOW SOC

FINE LINCOLN
COLLECTION in
\ CHICAGO MUSEUM

Chicago. Feb. 12.-Abraham Lin
coin is shown again as one Of the
plain people at the Chicago Historical
society this week.
To it's already fine Lincoln collec-
ton the society has added on this an
niversary, for the first time, some re-
markable bits OF Lincoln's environ
ment that give glimpses of his life.
Most illuminating perhaps among
these is the pew that Lincoln occu-
pied in the Presbyterian church at
Springfield, before he left Illinois
capital to go to the White House. The
rough bench looks as if it might have
been made from the rails that he
split in youth. No palmer. COM
moner. more substantial bench could
be built for a church.
The pew probably was never
painted. At IN rate it shows no
sign of paint today. but stands like
a product Of the carpenter that had
gone straight to the church. 1t is a
bench that without regard to looks,
could be doing its duty for several
more half centuries.
Nearby is a chair that Lincoln used
of those bleak Office chairs of LONG
ago, a sure enough companion piece
to the pew, simple, worn and still
good for a long term of lard service
Close at hand stands a book case
made abroad for Jefferson Davis, the
president Of the C~onfederacy. Rather
ornately carved, it seems quite. unlike
Lincoln's home bookcase, which also
is on display here today. This is an.
other Of the plain pieces common in
the day, and now sought after. But
that there was comfort and elegance
of a quiet nature in the Lincoln house.

mahogany and haircloth couch from

Genuine friendship among nations
must be the n great aim OF all
thinkers and workers. Diplomacy has
substituted mutual suspicion, mutual

One of the most interesting at

the United States a committee has
been formed to arouse interest in
the project which bids fair to be-
come one of great significance, al

An International College
The organization formed in this

fourteen other Americans, among
them DR.. Henry Goddard Leach, New

have advanced so far that buildings
have been purchased and are now be-

college can throw open its doors some
time in May. Substantial financial
support has been pledged by the Dan

OF the FUNDS required are Delns COZ
lected through subscriptions.
Basic Idea of School
The International College will base
its educational methods upon those
practiced by the Danish folk-high
school for more than sixty years, but
the English tutorial system will be
adopted in the daily life of the insti-
tuition.
Foreign educators have for man,
years, been intensely interested in the
folk-high schools of Denmark. n q
number of them, representing prac.
tically all civilized countries, have
from time to time been enrolled az
students in one of the schools for the
purpose of observing the peculiar life
and methods of these institutions

bac to their own countries, and some
of them have attempted to transplant
the Danish idea in their native soil
