HOT APPLICATIONS

In applying either mist or dry heat
in tn etreatment Of inflammation, the
danger of burning or scalding pa

mind This danger is always great,
but is especially great when the
skin is tender like that of babies, chill

portable surplus Of about 20 per cent
that is sold in the worlds market and
every bushel we sell is based on that
price.
The tariff on grain will not raise
the price one iota as long as the price
is governed by the world market.
There is only one remedy left and
that is for the farmers to organize on
the same lines as other classes and
raise the price Of their produce. This
can be done by curtailing production,
or by Withholding their produce from
the world markets. l have seen for
a long time that organization along
those lines is the salvation for the
farmers. If other classes have right
to organize along those lines the far
mer must also have that right.
If this country had 200,000,000 or
$50 100000 bushels less wheat then
the farmers could get enough for it
to enable US to pay some debts and
have enough left to buy some clothes
and other necessities and times would
be better all around.
1t is a remarkable situation. Yet
it is fact that it is our exportable
surplus of grain which hangs like a
milestone around our neck and pre-
vents returns of good times.

Wallin Says Farmers Must Set
Selling Prices
Minot, N. D., Sept. l, 10

Minot, N. D., Sept. /, 1922
Dear Editor:
According to the U. S. census there
are about 40,00O,O00 people living on
the farms. Probably about one third
of the population, on the farms and
the other two thirds living in the city.
The one third living on the farms
provides the two thirds living in the
cities with food and raw material for
clothes and other necessary articles.
But the two thirds living in the cities
cannot or will not provide the farm
ers with enough compensation for his
services to buy not even decent suit
of clothes for himself or covering for
his family.
What is the reason for this? Is it
premeditated viciousness of the city
jewellers, who by sheer meanness want
to suppress the farmer? Or is it the
fault of our present system of living
Let US see. We complain about the
interest on money being high. But
what is the reason for this? First,
the personnel of the bank must be
paid and as a rule they get high sal
aries. Then there is the high taxes,
and rent for the location which must
be figured in whether the bank owns
tn building or not.
ness to meet those expenses. What is
left of the profits is added to the sur
plus fund. In many cases there is
nothing left. There are swarms of
banks in this state, altogether too
many and the personnel Of these
banks must be paid and this takes a
lot of money. Who do you suppose
pays them?
Then we have the merchants from
whom we buy the most of our neces-
sites. l presume that some of the
merchants borrow money at 10 per
cent. This is added to the selling
price, then there is the personnel
again that has to be paid, high taxes
and rent. remember that high taxes
means high rent. Then in some cases
the merchant must have a fat net
profit. This is the reason for high
prices Of merchandise. This not only
applies to the retailers, but to the
jobbers, wholesalers, manufacturers
and all along the line.
And now comes labor. The labor
unions claim that unless they get a
certain wage they cannt live like an
American citizen should, and so they
set their own scale of wages, and if
it is not granted by the employer
they go on strike or quit work until
they get it. They may be right, if
other people who work in banks, in
stores, and in other occupations can
not live decently without q large sal
airy. It must be true with the labor
ing men. r
Now those classes I have enumerat-
ed are in the position to dictate their
pay, and they do it not of sheer
meanness but they think they need it.
If the farmers or the one third Of
the population were in the same posi-
tion to set their own prices on their
own products enough to pay high price
labor, high interest, and high prices
for their necessities, and high taxes,
with a reasonable net balance, then
all would be well. The farmer would
not complain. But the trouble is-in
grain for instancewe have an ex-

Purses totaling at least $3.50 have
been arranged by the race committee
of the Ward County Fair for the auto

will be as follows:
Five-mile free for all each day.
First prize $500, second prize $50 for

Two-mile free for all race each day.
Single purse of $50 for each race.
Fifty dollar prize to be paid at end
of last day to automobile making
the fastest five miles during the fair.

the horse races will be $1,000. There
will be a running race each day for a
purse of $500, with added money. In
addition, there will be trot and a
pace each day. The program is sub
ject to change and special arrange
ment if the classes fail to fill. How
ever, good harness races are in pros

Der of game birds in the State than
there is at present. Whether it is be-
cause of the fact that the law forbid
ding the use Of the dog has brought
about this desired condition or wheth-
er it is because of natural conditions,
both of cover and climatic changes.
There are many arguments in favor
OF both sides. In the Eastern part of
the state we find sentiment very
strong in favor of the present law be-
ing enforced, while in the Western
part of the state where the nature of
the game cover is directly opposite to
what prevails in the East the senti-
ment is very strong for the repeal of
the law. They claim because of the
natural conditions existing that the
use of the dog would be conservative
rather than destructive. Because of
the law prohibiting the use of the
dogs there has been allowed in some
localities, practices that, to say the
least, are reprehensible and unsports-
manike. Some of them are unlaw-
full, for instance, the use of the drag
line. Then there is the hunting in
! gangs of men, which shows rather a
lust to kill than true craftsmanship.
Let US study the question in all its
phases, keeping well to the front the
idea of conserving a supply for the
future before we take any action
which may tend to deplete or extermi-
nate our native game birds.
