PLAN BUILDING WARE:
HOUSE At W0BURV

President e. j. Marks of the Wo-
hurn~rFarmers Club, the most sue
cessful organization of its kind In
the state of North Dakota, while III
the city on Tuesday Of this week
told us that the chances were very
good that. before spring the club
would have a warehouse of its own
to store goods as they arrive, and
make deliveries whenever conven
lent to the members, instead Of in
sisting that everyone come and get
his order. at the car the day 1t ar
rives. The club has surplus Of
several hundred dollars on hand
and has enough outstanding which
can be collected most any time TO
put up a suitable building for stor-
ing all goods until they are called
for, and all that the BOARD Of dir
ectors are now waiting for is the
sanction OF the members at regu-
lar meeting. All members with
whom Mr.. Marks has talked seem
to be highly enthusiastic over the
proposition, and there seems to be
NO question but what the warehouse
will be q reality before long The
matter will be taken up at the next
meeting OF the memDers on January
7th, when q vote will be taken. and
Ii the proposition carries work will
start Immediately.

the meat packing investigation, so
that the facts disclosed will serve
to help secure the passage Of Con-
gresham Sinclair's bill fixing a
minimum price on the 1922 grain
crop. ae-3
The reason given by grain gambl-
er controlled market reports for the
decline in grain prices year ago
vas the alleged demoralized condi-
'tion of the EXPORT market. Yet in
1920 exports of wheat to Europe
broke all previous records and prices
paid by exporters was higher for
the 1920 wheat crop than was paid
for the 1919 crop when prices re-
ceived by the farmer was much
higher. Now again, the 1921 crop
according to the government report
for the first ten months has been
sold to exporters in still greater
volume than in 1920, and the price
smashing process employed by the
grain market manipulators has
been excused with the same old
lie of mo foreign demand" etc.
y It will be interesting for Ameri-
can farmers to know whether the
Grain gamblers have been able to
e"ain raise the price to foreign
consumers altho buying the 1921
croD at such reduced price that it is
forcing the farmers into bankrucpt-
cy.
The investigation Senator Ladd
has secured will no doubt reveal
facts that will create such a demand
for government price control in the
interest of both producers and con-
sumers Of grain that congress will
be forced to act.

GIVEN LIFE TERM !: !.
FOR BRUTAL ASSAULT

Minnewaukan. N. D., Dec. 29.--
Imprisonment for life was the SEN
tence imposed yesterday in district
court here upon Earl Mosher, 35,
unmarried farm hand Of Toxic,
who pleaded guilty to first degree
robbery following his confession that
he had beaten John Meyers, so,
Toxic laborer, into insensibility
and robbed him Of $21.50.
According to Mosners confession,
made to w. G. Mcdonald, states at
torney of Benson county, he masked
himself with handkerchief, hid
behind Meyers shack, and waited
until Meyers returned from town.
When Meyers appeared he sneaked
hind him as he entered his shack,
and struck him with an auto leaf
spring. Meyers tried TO protect
himself and snatched an AK. Mosher
wrested the ak from him and
struck him on the head with it two
or three times, rendering him un-
conscious. He obtained $3.50,
getting some blood on his under
wear. .r
Meyers regained consciousness
several hours later and walked to
town for aid. He had received two
deep gashes in his head and his left
eye had been knocked out. Physi-
clans at first thought he would die.
He was rushed to Devils Lake
hosnital where he is reported recov-
erirlg, his case showing a remark
able example of vitality.
Authorities arrested Mosher ON
suspicion, acting on Meyers de-
scription, and comparison of finger
prints found on the blood covered
ak. Searching, authorities found
Mosher had cut pieces from his un-
derwear. leading to the theory that
it was done to avoid discovery of
blood stains. Under close ques-
tioning he confessed to the crime,
saying he was led to it from the
fact he was without FUNDS and be-
lieved Meyers carried large sums of
money. j.

HAIL TAX DEDUCTED
FROM WARRANTS

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 28.--Mem-
bers of the Office force in the hail
insurance department are having to
write letters galore because people
who receive warrants from the de-
partment do not understand one Of
the provisions of the hail insurance
law, which Is that all taxes due the
state under the law are collected be-
fore the warrant is written and
mailed to the farmer to whom the
hail loss has been awarded.
The final sentence Of the final
paragraph OF section 10 of the hail
insurance law reads as follows:
Provided, further that the COM
mission of insurance, before paying
any losses arising under this act,
shall deduct from such payment the
amount due the state from the per-
son liable for the payment of the
same under the provision of this
act" @e
Working Law Explained
The working of the law was ex-
planned as follows by Martin Hagan,
head of the hail insurance depart
ment: .s.-s
"A man has had hail loss and
has been awarded insurance money
to cover the loss, the amount being
for this instance $500 on 100 acres
insured, which at the rate Of A
cents an acre would bring the
amount OF the taxes due to $44.
Other fees assessed as taxes under
the hail insurance law would amount
to $500 making the total amount
the man would owe the state as
taxes on the insurance on his 100
acres of wheat, $47.00. This
amount is deducted from the
amount OF the loss awarded him and
he is mailed check for $153.00
and the county auditor of the coun-
ty in which the land lies is notified
that the amount has been collected
by the state and therefore is no
longer a part of the taxes
This one part of the hail insur-
ance law is the cause of the receipt
of many letters, declares Mr.. Hagan.

Two weeks ago The Tribune re-
ported tho introduction Of a resolu-
ton in the u. s. senate by Senator
7 add calling for an investigation of
the grain trade by the Federal
Trade Commission.
On Dec. % this resolution passed
the senate and calls upon the COM
mission to ascertain the margins be-
tween farm and export prices;
freight. handling and storage costs ;
profits Of exporting and handling
firms; facts connected with market
manipulations, control and relation
ship of concerns engaged in the ex-
port of grain; methods used by for
eign buyers and much other data.
The Federal Trade Commission
has in the past unearthed some very
valuable information. Their inves-
tigation OF the meat packing indus
try revealed the absolute control of
that and allied industries by the
big Five packers, and IL congress
and the Wilson administration had
acted on their recommendations we
would now have government opera
tion and control Of the stockyards
and transportation equipment of
that industry in this country,
which would ultimately have led to
government operation Of the pack
ing plants themselves.
The scope Of the investigation or
dered is so broad that 1t will take
several months to secure, compile
and report the information sought.
It is to be hoped, however, the COM
mission will make partial reports
as they complete the different
phases of the work, as they did in

Plans are well under way for the
establishment in Brunswick of a tour
list camp, where all facilities and con-
veniences will be provided for auto
mobile parties passing through. the
city who may desire to camp over
night. The camp is to be located on
the Dart property, in the vicinity OF
historic Lanier's Oak, and within a
short distance CT the Dart swimming
pool, which will make the site doubly
attractive. The city government is to
provide lighting facilities, and plans
are being discussed fons the building
of an assembly hall, and community
kitchen, where c2mpers may prepare
their meals. Such an enterprise will
be certain to add to Brunswick's popu-
larity with the tourists, and will in
duce many to spend the night here in
their journey to and from Florida.
