The minister was praying "Lord,
give US light and power" and print

said, "Also rent and heat. "-Selected.
With the Turks raising Cain with
the Greeks how do you suppose Amer
lea would feel if Wilson had had his
way and we had joined the League Of
Nations, whose aid is about to be in
voked to quell the rebellious Turk?
"Quit whenever you like" was the
instruction given to trainmen by their
leaders. "Work whenever you like,
and your government will protect
you" is the word that goes out from
the White House.
We are printing today William T.

The nonpaltisaU LEADERS are trying
their level best 70 break up the indie
pendent ranks, but they are not go
ing to get anywhere along those lines.
A vigorous campaign will be waged
for the fusion ticket from now on I'M
til election and we confidently expect
that J. F. T. O'Connor will be elected
senator at the November election.
O'Connor deserves the support of ev-
cry true blue independent voter of
North Dakota. He stood solid for
Nestos on the stump year or more
ago and has shown by his faithfulness
to promises made that he is a man
who can be relied upon to do the
things he pledges himself to do. He
is entitled to the united support of the
fusion forces-and he is going to get
it.
We learn this morning from the
Fargo Courier-News that the l. V. A.
is the natural parent of the ku kluX
Khan, that the mask was torn off
Gov. Nestos at the big wheat meet
ing held in Fargo yesterday and that
Burdick bares hypocrisy Of the exec,
utive at farmers meet. All these
three things are charged up on the
front page of the nonpartisan daily
at one and the same time today an,
must cause quite lot of havoc among
league circles around the state Wher
they read of it. Such bunk is enough
to make horse laugh and the only
thing the Fargo Courier News ant
the party it represents has been Civ
ing the people is bunk thai
is what they have been feeding the
people for the past six years in adj
dition to increased taxes.
There is so much talk about thu
price of wheat these days and 81
many wild statements made that it il
possible that the average farmer ma,
lose sight Of the exceptionally fin
wheat market we enjoy in this city
AS an illustration you may refer t.
prices on No. l Northern yesterday
The price in Minneapolis, to arrive
yesterday was $1.04 rs while local ell
evators were paying $1.O0 for tn
same grade of wheat. The norma
spread in price between the local pric
and the Minneapolis price, to cove
freight and handling charges, is 1
to Is cents. On that basis the loca
wheat buyers were paying about min
cents more for the wheat than coul
be obtained by shipping to Minnear
oils. In talking to farmer who live
near Luverne recently we were in
formed that there was spread of l
to 10 cents per bushel in the pric
paid for wheat here and at tina place
This condition is brought about by tn
fact that there is a mill here. Prem
iums are paid for certain classes c
milling wheat which the price of thu
grade at the terminal does not wal
rant. Since the mill pays the prem
Jun the other wheat buyers are force
to follow their lead and the farmer
benefited to that extent. When tn
farmers can get within five cents c
the value of wheat at the terminals
local elevators there should not be
great deal of complaint on local buy
ers. However, it is only fair to stat
that that condition applies only t
