Twin Cities to Blame
For Fixing of Prices
Can there be any doubt in the
mind of any intelligent man that the
price of the northwest wheat crop
lis fixed" and that the "fixerss live
at the Twin Cities?"
The Women's Nonpartisan League
clubs of The state have taken the
Initiative in sending petitions to our
members Of congress appealing to
them to push through the wheat
guarantee bill. These petitions are
now being prepared and will be in
circulation in few days. But you
need not wait for them. Write a
letter to your congressman and
your senators and tell them what
yon think about it.

II Fargo, N. D., Sept. 6.The NEST
important question the congress Of.
the United States can give its at
tention to at this tint is the pass
ing of law guaranteeing the price
Of wheat at not less than $500 per
bushel, the act to become effective
Immediately.
This is the declaration Of men
who are at all familiar, with the
conditions which now confront the
farmers in the principal wheat grow
ing states, and particularly the hard
wheat growing area.
Present Prices Spell Ruin
For All Wheat Growers
n The present prices not only spell
ruin and bankruptcy for more than
half the farmers, but loss border
ing upon ruin and bankruptcy for
all wheat growers. /.
That is not all; if with this crop.
the best grown in 15 years, farmers
cannot make a profit, it means that
no further attempt will be made to
grow wheat. And that would mean
a famine in this country.
Legislation is Needed
To Avert a Famine
4 1t is that danger, the danger of
famine, which congress should take
immediate steps to avert And itl
can be averted only by passing leg
islation which will assure those who
produce the food to feed the nation
at least a living.
The brazen robbery which the
helpless producers Of North Dakota
are compelled to submit to at this.
time is a crime against society and
a disgrace to civilized country
There is neither reason or excuse
for it---other than the desire of
those who have the power to enrich
themselves at the expense of those
who are helpless hope1essly in
debt and at tho mercy of the man
who says pay mel"
Question Arises, Why
lis Northwest Robbed?
Why is it that the northwest,
which raises the best wheat in the
world, without which it would be
impossible to manufacture the high
er grades Of flour, must be robbed
of its crop? The states Of Oklaho-
ma, Kansas and Nebraska sold their
soft wheat for so cents a bushel
more than the farmers of the north
west are getting. The big mills Of
Minneapolis and other milling CEN
tiers bought that crop.
The market was not greatly at
fected when the crop from those
states commenced to move.
Was it because there was an open
market, too big for the Minneapolis
gang to control? Was it because the
elevator and banking interests of
Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska are
not SO closely interviewer as in the
Twin Cities?
Stage Beautifully Set
For the Big Raid
But this year and it has always
been the case when we had good
crop before a bushel Of the new
crop was sold. the stage was beauti-
fully set for the big raid. The price
was hammered down and down, with
the result that before car was
shipped the price had slumped 50
cents a bushel or more. And yes
terday, when there were thousands
Of cars loaded and on the way to
Minneapolis. q new low record was
scored much below the dollar
mark.

WHY Low PRICE FOR WHEAT

We do not pretend to pose as an
expert On the raising and market
ing tf wheat, and have no cut-and
dried opinion as to why the price
this year, is declining below the ac-
tual cost of production, let alone a
reasonable profit. There are var
led and different reasons and ex-
plantations advanced. but even ex-
Hperts do not agree. Simply observ-
ing as a layman We find it difficult
to understand why this great staple
industry of the nation must work
under, such tremendous handicap.
with the balance Of probability nine
times out Of ten being against the
farmer doing little more than get
ting back what he has put In, in
time, money and labor. We find it
hard to believe that there is any de-
liberate concerted attempt to rob
the farmer Of the fruitage Of his
labor, but somehow the conviction
is being established that he is not
exactly getting q square deal. Why.
with everything else in the shape OF
natural causes to contend with,
with the element Of chance looming
always before him, must the farmer
also have to contend with that t'in-
visible power" that dictates and de-
termines what compensation he
shall receive for his products? It
is not entirely Supply and De-
mand" that fixes wheat prices. OF
that we are absolutely certain. There
Is no reason under high heaven that
makes a busheI Of wheat that will
bring $1.00 today worth only 90.
cents tomorrow. Just where and
how the liking is done we do not
know but 1T ii done, and we are
going to try and find OUT Cando
Herald.

New Empress Of
 Seas To Have
 Triumphal Entry

New York. May 16-The Majestic, worlds largest ship, was rolling down today from Nantucket to Sandy Hook on the last lap of her maiden voyage across the Atlantic. Shorx4y after dayb,eak all arrangements had been made to give the new Empress of the Seas a triumpha1 entry to the harbor.
 Three White Star tugs. carrying White Star Line officials, the police boat John F. Nylan. with a band. United States Shipping Board tug and several boats were in readiness to go down to Quarantine to give the giant craft a fitting welcome.
 The Majestic, P4>IIch is of 56,00o tons displacement, is not only the largest, but probably the speediest passenger ship anoat. She has record of 25 knots an hour and her engines are still stiff" When they get "Iimbered up' her officers and officials of the line believe she will get at least four more knots speed, and during her summer runs eclipse the transatlantic record now held by the Mauretania.
 Probably the first week in August. when the Mauretania is coming this way and the Maegtic is Europe bound. the two giants will race. By that time, officers of the Majestic say the great oil burner and her eight mammoth turbines, each weighing 375 tons. will drive the Majestic at top speed somewhere in the vicinity of 26 knots an hour.

Baseball Club Gives Equipment
 To Youngsters

Thanks to Jimmy Kelly, secretary of the Bridgeport Baseball club. the baseball team at the County Chill dren's home. near Norwalk. has been started off on the right foot again this year. Yesterday the boys at the home were presented with several baseballs that have had just a glimpse of action in a league game.
 Practi will start at the home inn mediately and in the meantime surely some other athletic clubs. factory hines, or private individuals in Bridge port and Fairfield county. can spare a light bat or two, some discarded gloves or other baseball equipment. Anything will find good use. for there is no player limit at the county home, even the larger of the girls takes a hand when there is chance, so plenty of equipment is necessary if the children are to have complete en- joyment of the baseball grounds made possible through special effort of the County Commissioners a year ago.
 Anything available will be appre- ciated and can be left at the office of the County Commissioners at the County Court House, or at the Times office. In the meantime those base balls presented by the local Eastern league club are objects of pride at the home. Haven't Wes Kingdom, the great Roddy, Slim Bornhoeft, ct al handled those very faseballs? That's plenty. Billy Bulg0r, captain of the nine at the home promises to give them a ride or two with his trusty biudgeon-
