hands in the vast audience including
plause. An able speaker would have
sensed the fact that the audience was
sold to Senator Kellogg and taken up
another subject. Instead the vice
president launched into praise of Sen
ator Kellogg and the policies of the
Harding administration. He praised
the removal of the excess profits tax
and had the bad taste to avdise North
west farmers as to how to operate
their farms and what legislation they
ought to have from Washington.
He did all this by reading from a
manuscript instead of speaking freely
as prominent public men are supposed
to do. Yet the crowd waited patiently
through this reading for 40 minutes
before someone in the crowd cried out
f'let US go on with the races" and a
general panedmonium reigned until
the vice president took his seat. But
the audience listened patiently after
ward to two other speakers.
The Eastern politicians do not ap
pear to realize that the Northwest is
wide awake politically and that the
old phrase which takes well in Massa-
chusetts OF New York bore a Minneso-
ia audience. La Toilette had carried
Wisconsin by 100000 the day before
and yet the vice president did not
appear to realize that there was a
widespread feeling of mitigation and
protest against G. o. P. policies in
the Northwest. He attempted To hold
an audience of $4,000 Minnesota citi-
zens by going directly contrary to
their feelings with a written manu-
script in his hand.

The Coolidge Incident

An audience of $4,000 people refus-
ed to allow Vice President Coolidge
to complete his address at the Mime
sofa State Fair Various reasons are
assigned for the incident, which is the
most unusual thing of it's kind that
has ever happened in the Northwest
The vice president excuses the audi
ence on the grounds that the weather
was extremely hot and that there
were many counter attractions at the
Fair. The Minneapolis Tribune CEN
sures the people and also the Fair
board for staging a meeting under
such circumstances.
But it would arpear to us that Cool
idge should bear the mapor part Of the
blame. He showed lack of tact and
ability which is surprising in one who
has been elevated to so important a
position. Governor PTeus did all that
a speaker could in introducing Cool
idge to draw cheer from the audi
ence for Senator Kellogg. The at

Farmers Lose Valuable
Wheat Premiums Thru
Failure to Join Pool

Farmers in almost every section of
the state are complaining that the To-
cal elevators this year are charging
from 10 to 20 cents a bushel more
margin for handling wheat than they
did last year or the year before when
the state grain grading law was in
opeatlon. Besides, the farmers are
getting nothing for the valuable dock
age IN their grain, which goes to the
grain dealers as pure velvet.
That the large margin is not the
only source of profit for the grain
men is revealed in circular lust
sent out by the North Dakota Wheat
Growers association. In this circu-
lar it is claimed that the millers are
paying premiums for North Dakota
wheat ranging from Is to 80 cents per
bushel. The growers get nothing of
this premium: it all goes into the cof-
fers of the grain combine. In selling
his wheat through the state pool the
farmers gets this premium and all
other profits. Says the circular:
1T has been said that farmers are
no better off with a bumper crop
than with poor yield, for the rock
bottom price paid the grower for his
big crop more than offsets any bene-
fits of the latter, and often the pro-
Queer is not paid for the additional
handling expense of his big crop.
Down 20 In August
"This year has been no exception
to the rule, for the market has dropp-
ed over 20 cents during the month of
August, as soon as the crop began to
reach the terminals.
ION the other hand, is the farmer
getting as much for his grain as is
possible, even under adverse eondi-
lions? Ninety percent at leas=- do
not, and it is nobody's fault but his
own. For instance-the farmer brings
his wheat to the elevator and sells it,
getting the card price, as set by the,
Chamber of Commerce For his district,
or maybe a few cents over if the COM
petition is keen among the elevators,
or # the elevator is badly in need Of
premium wheat Cor mixing PURPOSES.
"At the terminals millers pay
liberal premium for fancy wheat,
which by the way, constitutes large
portion of the North Dakota crop.
Local elevators and especially the
Farmers Cooperative elevators" Go
not get the benefit of this premium
price, and hence cannot pass it on to
their patrons. But the commission
men, thru resalas, with whom the Gle
E>to- d5&ts, 10 get it, and thus with
a little clerical work take the profit
which is due the grower, ani which
the grower must receive if he is to
continue to feed the world.
Can Sell Own Wheat
us there remedy? Decidedly so,
and a simple one at that! The
farmer can sell his own wheat, but
he must do it comparatively with a
selling organization at the terminals.
The North Dakota Wheat Growers
association, and similar negotiations
operating in other states fills his
need. For instance
Five carloads OF pooled wheat
handled by the association was
recently sold al Minneapolis al
premiums ranging from g to 30

Per bushel. The latter price was
z cents over the top of the mar
ket at the terminal that day or
SI.29 Sd cents per busfal. On
that day the card price at the
point from where this wheat was
shipped was 80 cents for No. 1
Dark Northern, direct profit to
the grower OF 46 3-4 cents per
bushel, withent deducting freight
charges. With these deductions
it would be 80 3-4 cents.
''On Saturday, September 4, the
associati'5 sold a car load of No.
2 Dark N9 lhern spring wheat for
S1.24 5-8-Ssr bushel. That same
car would have brought only Is
cents per bushel if sold at the To-
cal point, making it profit 10 the
grower of 80 So cents per bushel,
allowing fer freight charges.
Besides this increase in sellin:
price there was an additional Saving
Of 5 cents per bushel in handling
charges, thus increasing the profit il
the former case to 35 3-5 cents pc
bushel, and the latter case to 81 s.
cents per bushel."

INDIANA HIGHWAY
COMMISSION HERE
TO INSPECT ROAD
Effort Underway to Induce
State to Take Over
County Highways.

AS a first step in having the Ind
lana state highway commission take
over more roads in st. Joseph coun-
ty with a resulting decrease of the
highway. tax in the county, four
members Of the state commission
were yesterday inspecting the Prai-
rie av. road which runs south to Wal
kerton.
The Prairie av. road was recently
favorably reviewed for the state
highway commission by State En-
gineer G. w. Hinkle and there is
little doubt but what the commits
s.oners will see ut to take over the
road. according TO William Ewall.
secretary Of the county highway de-
partment
A group OF farmers from the
county farm federation met the
state officials at the North Liberty
bank Thursday morning and are TAX
ing them over the road. The decision
OF the state officials will not be
known until after the next meeting
OF the board at Indianapolis.
The money paid into the state
treasury by automobile licenses is
almost entirely used for the upkeep
and building Of state roads.
EST. Joseph county has fewer
miles OF state roads in proportion
TO It's number OF automobiles than
possibly any other county in the
state and the amount OF license
money derived from automobile
owners in this county entities it to
more financial help from the state
IN keeping up the roads" said
Ewall Thursday.
That St. Joseph county has only
sS miles OF state roads whereas
LaPorte county with approximately
half it's number Of automobiles. has
more than SO miles of state roads
are facts which are prompting the
St. Joseph county highway depart
ment 10 seek more assistance from
the state highway commission.
BY having the state commission
take over roads in this county a
great saving will result for the St
Joseph highway department and a
subsequent lessen!ng OF the tax bur
den to residents Of this county will
be effected.
other roads are 10 be reviewed by
the state commission in response to
the calling to it's attention the dis
proportionate assistance given this
county.

ord Week for Heat - Fore

Latest advices from the govern

nounce the approach Of a welcome
thunder storm which will reach this
territory this afternoon or Saturday
morning The storms arrival will
close one Of the most remarkable
first weeks in September ever ex-
perienced in this section Of the
country. and will bring relief from
what might have proved a serious

Following. the moderate rains
which came during the latter part
OF August. the first day Of September
broke bright and clear. This con-
dillon has prevailed. despite several
threatened storms which have ap-
peared on the horizon. with the
highest temperature peaks Of the
entire summer.
Although this weather is a great
aid toward the ripening and harvest
ing Of some or the staple crops,
many OF the fruits and vegetables
now in the ripening stage will re-
quire considerable rain to prepare
them for harvest. Statements from
a number of leading farmers agree
that many more days Of unrelieved
heat will ruin fruit and vegetable
crops Of untold value. in the area
affected by the drought Due TO the
extreme heat, this is a critical time
fer nearly al fruits harvested in the
fall. and while another streak of hot
weather would ruin the crop. a day
or so Of moderate rains, followed by
a short period OF hot weather would
bring them TO full ripeness ahead Of
time.
Despite seven continuous days of
