GRAIN MEN WON'T
SIGN CONTRACTS
Declare Proposition Offered by United
States Grain Growers is Not
Workable
A NEW FORM WILL BE DRAWN
No Sane Provision Tor Financing, ID
Cs.srge

Members Of the North Dakota Grain
Mems union, in conference at Fargo
with U. L. Burdick and other repre-
sentatives of the U. s. Grain Growers,
Inc, refused to go on record as fav-
oring the Grain Growers marketing
plan and refused to agree to support
elevator contracts provided by the
Grain Growers.
They declared it would be impossible
for independent elevators, or elevators
operated by farmers organizations to
handle grain under the contracts be-
ing put forth by the Grain Growers.
A committee of grain men was ap-
pointed to draw grain contract that
they will regard as workable and suit
able for elevators. This contract will
be submitted to Burdick.
The two sections objected to are as
follows:
"Section 8. Upon that grain which
is committed to the elevator company
to be sold on the basis of price to
be determined from the net resale
thereof, less deductions for the cost
Of handling, the U. S. association,
within it's discretion, may make ad-
vance payments as market and finan-
cial conditions warrant; provided, the
elevator company shall fully protect
the U. S. association against loss
thereby.
Section 10. The U. S. association
is exempted from liability for losses
incurred in. marketing and selling
grain covered by this contract that
are not due to its own negligence. The
elevator company shall be responsible
for and charged with allowances, de-
ductions or losses made or sustained
by the U. S. association arising from
the negligence of the elevator COM
pany."
Grain men attending the conference
declared that these two sections, to-
gether with other parts of the elevat-
or contract of the Grain Growers,
made it absolutely unavoidable from
the elevators standpoint.
"Where are we going to get the
money to finance our grain opera
tions?" Mr.. Burdick was asked by the
grain men. "The commission men
will not furnish us money to handle
grain for the Grain Growers. Will
the Grain Growers advance us the
money!"
Nothing DOING" was Mr.. Burdick's
reply. you'll have to get your mon
ey elsewhere"
Mr.. Burdick said that the Grain
Growers plan for financing was to
have the elevators give checks for
grain on local banks and that at the
close Of each days business these
checks would be totalled and q draft
drawn on the finance corporation Of
the Grain Growers Tor the sum in
volved.
The meeting had been called for the
purpose Of figuring out some. means
whereby the independent elevators
could handle the grain under the
Grain Growers system at points
where there are no formers elevators

MANDAN IS HIT BY BAD STORM
Over Hundred Thousand Dollars DAM
age is Reported

Under the glare Of a bright sun and
cloudless skies citizens Of Mhndan
Tuesday morning began taking stock
Of damage wrought by a cloudburst
Monday night, which sent water rush
ing from the hills surrounding the
city, through the streets with the
speed Of millrace at depth Of three
feet.
Water in Easements Of hotels, de-
partment stores and other business
houses is believed to have caused q
loss Of more than 100000, while as
much more loss was caused to homes,
city property, streets and sewers. Not
a house in the city escaped damage.
In higher sections sewers backed up,
flooding cellars, while in the level
section water filled streets from curb
to curb, overran the lawns and seeped
into windows.
The storm covered q territory from
Glen Ullin to Mandan, = distance Of
so miles, and according to meager IN
formation now available, was Is to 20
miles wide.
It apparently reached it's height
near Mandan. At Lyons a waterspout
ripped hole 100 feet across in a high
bank, picked up thousands Of tons Of
sand and spread it over the main line
of the Northern Pacific. Coast bound
train. No. 8 ran to the edge Of the cut,
found the sand and returned to Man
dan. A force Of 100 section men had
the track cleared in about four hours.
At the Bert Amend residence in the
heart Of Mandan, the weight Of q
piano was sufficient to cause floors to
cut in, after water had loosened the
foundation. Cellar walls Of scores Of
houses were damaged.
The Lewis and Clark hotel, which
had water on the main lobby floor,
will have heavy loss. Stores in the
basement rooms suffered, while SAM
pie and private trunks in storage
room were ruined.
Early shipments of fall clothing and
goods stored in Easements of the Ply
mouth Clothing Co., J. G. Penney Co.,
j. o. Sullivan Department store, Cum
mings-Robertson Co., and others were
damaged badly by muddy water.
A severe electrical and rain storm
broke in Bismarck shortly before mid
night Monday. The U. s. weather bu-
reau reported rainfall Of 1928 inches
in three hours. Some down town
Easements and some residence streets
were flooded but no great damage was
done.

for combined plate and drinking cup,
and that he filled it so full that a
mixture Of ice cream and coffee be-
gan to trickle out Of the mouthpiece.
Otto says this is base slander. He
had his thumb pressed so tightly over
the mouthpiece that not drop could
leak out.
Indeed, from Bandmaster Bjornstad
clear around the circle to Martin Jac-
obs of the delicate appetite, the men,
bers Of the Oakes Boosters band laid
away ice cream and cake and coffee in
such quantity that it looked as if the
name would have to be changed to the
Oakes Busters band.
At any rate, the boys say it was a
glorious victory and it is reported that
since Thursday evening every man in
Oakes who owns musical instrument,
from a Jews harp to an auto horn,
has applied to join the band.
The Times reporter, owing to the
fact that he splashed little ice
cream in his eyes and got few
crumbs Of cake in his ears in nibbling
daintily at the 81 varieties, more or
less, that were served, may be some
what mixed on some of the above de-
tails Of the Scoop" But there is one
fact in which there can be no mis-
take; the band boys certainly appre-
ciated both the refreshments and the
spirit that prompted the good women
who served them, even If the Boosters
were too full to do much more than
gurgle when they attempted to cheer
their benefactresses afterwards.
The women who perpetrated the
surprise were Mesdames Bachelor,
Ferber, T. B. Roberts, Ferguson, Bow
erman, Olson and Hazel, and If q pop
ularity contest were to be put on in
Cakes, this group Of women would re-
ceive at least 1900 Of the band vote.
Tonight is the regular weekly con-
cert evening. With the inspiration
they received in such large quantities
last Thursday, the boys ought to put
on a better concert than ever tonight.
Officers Of. the band announce that
they have ordered music scores Of
some Of the later popular hits, and in
the near future the programs will be
somewhat varied by vocal and instru-
mental specialties.

NOTES OF THE
FARM BUREAU
Thrsshermen Expect to Meet in FL
lendale Saturday to Determine
Prices to Be CHARGED
TWO CARS WOOL TO BE SHIPPED
Harvest wasss Ruaalng Bstwesn :,
u and $3.50 Per Day -.

A meeting OF all threshermen and
farmers Of the county 10 called for
Saturday, July 80, at, Glendale. The
purpose Of this meeting is to deter
mine the price Of threshing this fall.
Both farmers and threshers are urg-
ed to be present at this meeting so a
fair wage can be established and ad-
hered to by all parties. The meeting
is being arranged for by the county
agent in response to requests from
both farmers and threshers. Mr.. Ad-
ans says he does not feel that it is
his place to take sides in the argu-
ment but he is urging both parties to
be sure to represent themselves well
and to stick by the agreement that ID
made. He thinks this will be big
factor in keeping the prices for both
labor and threshing down to a reason
able figure.
Harvest wages has been much
talked Of subject the past week.
There have been repeated calls for
men and many have been hired. Two
employment agencies are operating in
the county. The county agents Office
at Glendale has placed fifty men at
$500 per day, and the federal employ
ment agent at Cakes reports fifty
men at $500 and thirty at $3.50 per
day. There are many I. w. WIS in
the county who demand from $4.00 to
$500 per day, but farmers are urged
to stick together on the $3.50 figure.
No inexperienced man should be paid
more than $500. A report on harvest
wages from various counties in the
state as made to the state farm bu-
reau shows that $500 is the highest
amount being paid in the state, and
farmers in Divide county are the only
ones paying over $500. All the 9TH
ers run between $3.50 and $3.50.
The directors of the Dickey County
Wool Growers association met in the
county agents. Office Saturday to hear
the report from the delegate to the
state meeting last week. All were
we'll pleased with the way the wool has
been handled in the state pool. There
was little doubt in the minds of those
present but that the pool has been the
best method Of marketing wool the
past season. A complete report of all
sales made to date will soon be mailed
out to. each grower. At this same
time announcement Of the time of
shipment from the county to this
years pool will be made. There will
be two cars loaded from this county.
By shipping together in this way con-
siderable saving will be made in the
freight charges.
