"Of course I do not know that any

HIGHER PRICES TO
FARMERS FOR GOOD
QUALITY OF WHEAT
w. c. Palmer, Chief Of State
Grain Inspection Depart
ment, Makes Prediction on
Return From Conference
at Minneapolis.

| Fargo, N. Dak., Aug. 1 Especially
Prices to the farmers for good quail
ity wheat is to be increased. The
spread in each grade of wheat is TO
! be split up by reflecting back to the
farmer higher or fancy values in
the first three grades, according to
T. w. C. Palmer, chief Of the state
Grain Inspection Department, who
Y has just returned from q conference
rat Minneapolis: '7s@,'
"a study OF the cash sales on the
Minneapolis market, says Mr.. Pal
mer, shows that the price paid for
wheat varies in the same, grade as
much as 40 cents a bushel, when it
is sold by sample on the terminal
on the basis of what the low wheat
in the grade brQt, because4the buy
Ter. not knowing Ewhat.the wheat may
bring above the, low price in the
grade must play safe by paying
what the lowest wheat in the grade
brings. In this way hardship was
being worked on the producer, Of
course" !
Federal standards Of. wheat put
wheat of such widely varying val
ue in each grade, according to Mr..
Palmer, that great difficulty has
been experienced In carrying on
transactions in wheat on the basis
OF these grades. Plans are now be-
ing developed by F. r. Durant, Min
neapolis from whose offices the ele-
vators receive their daily grain bull
letin card Of grain prices, to make
the card reflect back to the farmer
at least a part of the wide spread
in each grade. The grain trade has
split, up the spread by adding to
the; regular grades of Dark Northern
Spring Wheat /. 2, and 3, the grad
es Fancy /, 2, and 3. H.,
Heretofore, the fancy prices were
used on the terminal market only,
but through the grain bulletin card
a plan is now being worked out that
will enable the elevator manager to
classify wheat within each grade,
and to give the farmer some of the
benefits of the higher values. In
this way, it is said. the injustice
worked by the federal grades will
be overcome in part. a study Of the
cash sales on the terminal market,
and the prices quoted ON the Grain
Bulletin Card which. are paid at the
local elevators, will indicate Mr.. Pal
mer says to what extent the farm
er will be benefited by the new
change.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 81
Twenty-eight persons were hurt
several seriously, and much damage
done, by series Of explosions in
sewers and cable manholess at Sixth
street and Nicollet avenne3and, FIFTH
and Nicollet late last nightandseafl,
| today.
At / q. m. today, Donaldson's de-
partment store, at Sixth and Nicolle1
one of the largest department stores
In town caught fire.
| Crowds began to gather and force
their way to the scene of the explo'
sion inspite of efforts of the police
to keep them back.
Men in the crowd finally assisted
the police and firemen in forming a
fire line, hardly had the crowds
been driven away from the blazing
manholes, however, when a second
explosion, across the street in front
of the United Cigar store, wrecked
that store and injured more than a
score of men and women.
One man standing near manhole
when the top blew out was thrown
several feet and severely bruised.
Two other men standing near were
thrown by the force of the explosion
and fell into the manhole from which
flames were shooting, as in the case
of the earlier explosions. Firemen
rushed to their rescue and they were
pulled out before being seriously
burned.
The third explosion occurred half
Way up the block on Nicollet avenue.
The manhole in front of the Stiles
building at this number, caused pro-
perty destruction but no one was in
jured, the crowd by this time being
kept away by fire lines established at
Fifth street and Seventh street.
The Stiles building is five-story
structure, with jewelry stores on the
first floors and offices above.
Every window in the building from
the first floor to the roof was blown
out, glass falling into the street. The
stocks Of the Weld and Sons jewelry
store and that of the Joseph H.
Green jewelry store were blown into
the street. 6
The fire is believed to have started
from a short circuit in an electric
power cable. The first explosion oc-
Cured shortly after 1890 p. m. at
Sixth street and Nicollet Avenue in
the heart Of the loop district.
Many Knocked Down
Several thousand persons quickly
gathered and the police had difficult
ty in keeping the curious ones out
of the danger zone. Many persons
were knocked down by subsequent
explosions and others were cut by
flying glass.
Fear was expressed by firemep and
police that fire would spread sthru
the entire sewer system Of the; city.
Fire Chief G. w. Ringer said the fire
department was powerless to stop the
flames. An effort was being made to
have the electric light and power
currents shut of IN the hope that
further explosions might be prevent

LONG TERM CREDITS
 FOR FOREIGN TRADE
More Buying of Foreign Goods
 Also Desirable

San Francisco, June 14.-Restora-
 tion of American foreign trade de-
 bends upon extension of long term
 credits and increased buying abroad
 w. F. H. Koelsch. president of the
 National association VI Credit Men,
 declared in his annual report to the convention of the organization.
 Tt is high time" he said, that we as a people began to realize that we cannot prosper alone. While it is true that the United States needs foreign trade more than at any time in it history, this trade will not be secured and held without great eff forts on our part. At home, these ef- forts will have to be directed against measures devised by men who be- lieve that America can be prosper ous even if the rest of the world faces industrial stagnation.
 The restoration of our interna- tional commerce depends largely upon long credits, in my sincere Judgment These credits we are bet ter able to extend than any other peo- pie. The reversal of our position from a debtor to creditor nation brings obligations which we have not yet recognized but must if we are to be saved from muddlfns our opportunities and seriously affecting our return to prosperity.
 We must learn to invest in for eign lands. Trade will follow our h. vestments. We must also learn to buy as we'll as sell. We must not expect to sell alone as a creditor na- ton for there is no rule in business which would long permit that. We | would simply continue to demoralize | our opportunities and retard our pro. 1uction for foreign markets"
