fact that there is a decided shortage
in livestock. If per capita consump-
ton Of meat and meat products were
suddenly to return to normal, the de-
mand for meat would be far greater
than the supply.
During the first five months of 1921
there were 7176 business failures in
the United States as compared with
2678 for the corresponding period of
1920. An expert statistician esti-
mates that at present there are about
three million persons ordinarily en-
ployed in industries in the United
States out of employment. 1t has
been demonstrated that the family Of
man who has employment consumes
three times as much Of the things peo-
pie eat, use and wear, as it does when
the head Of the family is out of em-
ployment. Latest information indi-
Gates that the number of unemployed
has probably reached the maximum
and that unemployment is now on the
decline.
One can readily see that as work.
ers in textile mills, shoe factories, au-
tomobile factories, furniture factories,
ETC., are resuming employment, their
requirements will be proporti,nately
increased. Certainly this means a
greater demand, and better prices for
all the things which are produced
by farmers. Lack of employment
cannot be improved until utilization
of products produced is resumed.
Add to all this the determination
of the farmers of this country to take
a hand in the marketing of their
own products, which most assuredly
Twill result in farmers getting better
\prices or at least getting a larger
percentage of the final selling price
of their stuff, together with the prob
able reduction in freight rates, and we
nave ample reason ior feeling optimis-
tic in regard to the situation the far
,mer will find himself in few months
hence.
Buy the things you need to enable
you to produce crops and livestock
economically. If you can cut the cost
of producing bushel of wheat by 10
cents, that is equivalent to getting
10 cents bushel more for it.-Suc-
cessful Farming.

TARIFF BILL CALLED BURDEN
FOR FARMERS
Jckers In Fordney Measure, Farm
Bureau Members Are
Told.

The Fordney bill providing for
permanent tariff on all products, in
cluding farm products, now before
congress, was severely criticized by
Chester Gray, president Of the Miss
ouri Farm Bureau federation, at
meeting of representatives Of farm
bureaus of IL central western states
in the old state capital.
He charged that the bill contained
many jokers and would be detriment
to the agricultural interests. Under
terms of the bill, he charged the far
mer would not benefit by the pro-
posed tariff changes. Under the
wool protection clause the producer
would be prohibited the sale in COM
petition to foreign products because
of prohibitive freight rates, he said.
George McKerrow, Wisconsin Farm
Bureau representative, charged that
the foreign wool producer can sell his
products at Is cents less, and even if
q protective tariff was enacted, the re-
suit would not be felt by the home
producer.
Proposed contracts for use of the
Equity Cooperative exchange eleva-
tors in handling the grain marketed
through the United, States Grain
Growers Inc, were explained by C..
H. Gustafson, president Of the grain
growers association, in talk to dele
gates at the midwest farm bureau
conference late Wednesday at the old
state capitol. He asserted that far
mers will reap great benefits from
the contracts.
Mr.. Gustafson told the delegates
that directors of the grain growers,
organization are working out "a.
agreement whereby the national or
gapization may with the Equip Co
operative exchange use the elevators
and other physical property.

SOME RETRACT1oN

The retraction published b. Totten
and Gummerson, of the Courier-News,
is small satisfaction for the league
leaders, for the two young men had
at least spilled the beans and caused
q show down as to where the $4,000
Victory fund had gone. The boys re-
tracted the statement that the funds
had been misapplied, but the fact
remains that the money is all gone,
all except the few thousand that the
executive committee is now quarreling
about.
It is reported that Liederbach and
other members of the state executive
committee were endorsers on notes
given by the League, and that these
old accounts are being paid first 80 as
to relieve Liederbach and other en-
dorsers Of responsibility.
The exposure Of the two Courier
News employees brought out the news
that $4,000 had been dumped into
the Courler-NeWs rat hole; that
there is no such thing as a Victory
fund, and that the people who are
contributing money for this fund are
being duped. When the money is re-
ceived it goes toward paying for a
dead horse.
The daily contributions to the Vic
tory fund has shown the result Of the
exposure in a falling or Of several
hundred dollars day.
The retraction is empty satisfaction

RECALL ELECTION ASSURED

With July 30th set as the time limit
for securing the minimum of $4,000
signatures, headquarters in Fargo re-
port that more than sixty thousand
voters have already signed the recall
petitions. Of this number of signers
over fifty thousand has been returned
to the Joint Campaign Committee, the
balance being as yet in the hands of
the various circulators.
The demand for the recall of the
present members of the state indus
trial commission has therefore been
signed by more than a majority of
the men and women who voted for
O'Connor last fall, so there can no
longer be any excuse for quibbling
about whether or no there shall be a
recall. If every Independent worker
will do his share, it will not take
much Of an effort to get majority
of all the voters in the state to sign.
The first roundup of petitions
brought into headquarters had about
twice as many signatures as were re-
quired- for the constitutional amend
ment, and more than three times the
required, number of the initiated laws,
while the first count of recall sig
natures showed total of 45,Os0
names. Further reports from field
workers showed that about one thou
sand petitions were still circulating
with over twenty thousand signatures
attached 1T the time the reports were
mailed.

FARM PROFITS ARE COMING
BACK

It is a law Of nature that action
is equal to reaction in the opposite
direction. For instance, pendulum
always swings almost as far one way
as it went in the opposite direction
on the preceding swing. A slight
tap when it starts back may send
it farther than it went On the up
stroke.
Business has its ups and downs as
does the pendulum. In many re-
spects business expansions and de-
pressions are almost as regular al
lis the ticking Of the clock. When
business reaches the peak Of it's climb
we can always rest assured that there
will be a decline at least nearly as
far. The world was really served as
q vigorous push rather than light
tap on the business pendulum of the
world and sent it up and up almost
to its zenith, in fact, many feared the
force of the impact would cause it
to dash from the beaten path. and
crash to destruction. But. the up
ward swing stopped before the break,
and for the last year and half we
have been witnessing the backward
swing %
Many facts indicate that it is now
about time for the business pendulum
of the United States to return in the
direction Of business recovery. And
in the revival Of business which is
sure to occur, we anticipate that far
ming will be one of the first lines Of
business to be benefited.
There are several reasons why the
farmer now should take an optimistic
view Of his business situation. The
wheat carry-over from this season has
been the smallest in years. The lat
est information indicates that the 1921
crop is no larger than the 1920 crop.
Stocks Of wheat at terr1.aals and in
country elevators are reported to be
more than so per cent lower than a
year ago. The visible supply is the
smallest in eighteen years.
The supply Of -four in the hands
of merchants as well as consumers is
very low. There was 20 per cent less
-four manufactured during the year
ending June LIST than during The pre-
ceding year. NJ.

MAN KILLED IN srORM-ELE-
YATORS BURNED
Loss of $4,000 to $4,000 Reported
in Fire. Train Blocked.

A terrific storm which swept Nc
Lean county late Monday caused the
death of one man and the loss of
three elevators in Turtle Lake by fire,
according to information obtained fol-,
lowing the restoration of wire COM
munication between Underwood and
Turtle Lake.
August Marks, young farmer liv-
ing ABOUT nine miles northeast of
Underwood, was struck by lightning
while on header coming in from
field, according to along distance tele-
phone message from Underwood. A
horse also was killed. The message
said that Marks little girl and horse
on which she was riding were not
hurt, although she was said to be
slightly shocked.
Marks was well-known farmer Of
the Underwood region. He had been
working in the field when he was
caught in the terrific storm.
Three Elevators Burn
The Occident, Andrews and Far
mers' elevators were destroyed in Tur-
tie Lake.
Lightning struck the Occident ele-
vator first, according to word received
from there. Fire spread to the eleva-
tor of the Andrews Grain company
and the Farmers elevator. All were
destroyed. There was about 200
bushels of wheat in the Qccident ele-
vator, about 5000 bushels of wheat in
the Farmer elevator, carload of flax
and some wheat in the elevator of the
Andrews grain company.
The Regan and Lyness elevator
caught fire but was extinguished by
large brigade of volunteer workers.
The total fire loss is estimated at
from 100000 to $4,000.
There was a terrific rain (which
started about $3.50 o'clock Monday af-
ternoon. The storm was accompa-
MED by sharp lightning flashes and
deafening thunder claps. There was
no hail, it was said, except in a few
places.
Some livestock was reported killed
by lightning in fields north of Under
wood.
Trains Blocked
An unusual feature of the storm
which swept this territory about mid
night was reported from Mandan.
About miles west of Mandan a
great lot Of sand apparently was lifted
out Of the side of hill and dumped
on the Northern Pacific track. The
track was covered for a distance of
800 to 500 feet, some places the sand
being six feet deep. The only ex-
planation offered is that probably a
water.spout hit the side of the cut,
washing out the great quantity Of
sand with remarkable force.
The crew of an extra freight train
found the track blocked. No. 8,
which passed through Bismarck at
midnight, was in Mandan until about
o'clock Tuesday morning when the
track was cleared.
A great deal Of damage was re-
ported in Mandan from the down
pour of rain. Cellars were flooded
and it is believed that thousands of
dollars Of damage was done to merch-
andise.
