NEW MENACE IN
CAR SHORTAGE
Elevators in North Dakota Filled to
Capacity, With No Chance for =
Grain to Be Moved =
ROADS CAN PROMISE NO RELIEF
Critical Condition is Reported in Var.
ious Parts of State

With grain elevators and potato
warehouses everywhere filled to ca
pacity and with no cars available,
farmers in every section Of North Da-
kota are facing huge financial losses
and one Of the most serious market
ing problems in the history of the
state. Reports as we go to press in
dicate that the situation is much more
serious than previously supposed.
In many places wheat and potat6es
are lying on the ground. Killing
frosts have come frequently Of late,
and the potato crop has been seriously
damaged in number of places. Ap-
peals for cars have failed.
Commercial organizations every
where have gone to every length to
obtain. cars, but the railroads have
been unable to promise anything. At
tempts have been made here and there
to move empties into marketing CEN
ters, but only two or three cars have
been available to each locality. They
were entirely inadequate to move even
the smallest fraction Of the crop. The
farmers have tried to get grain and
potatoes into storage quarters, but
every square foot Of space has long
since been taken. Old garages have
been seized in number Of places and
the crop dumped into them. At pres
ent no one can tell how it will end.
With winter approaching, specific
reports received at Minot from many
Of the northwest sections of North
Dakota Indicate that a critical condi-
tion exists as regards the shortage Of
freight cars for wheat and other grain
shipments. At Crosby on Wednesday
all six elevators were filled to capacity
and the doors were closed.
A. A. Robinson of Minot, manager
Of the Logan Farmers elevator, said
that his concern has received only two
cars in three weeks and the elevator is
full to the brim. He added that he
knows many farmers who have thou
sands Of bushels Of grain lying on the
ground because Of the boxcar shortage.
Other places report similar con-
dition and farmers are up against the
stiffest proposition in years.

is scheduled to appear before the peo-
pie of Oakes in a political address on
Friday evening, Oct. 27, at 8 o'clock in
the G. M. G. hall. Rev. IMcVey will
discuss the issues from the indepen-
dent standpoint and as he comes with
something Of a reputation as pub

the cause considerably.

Hel0 eCe8Qlly, the OakeS CacklefS not
being able to locate the man with the
ball. Whether this advance would
have carried the ball over for a touch
down before being checked is prob
lematical, for the final whistle blew
with the oval in midfield.
The result Of the game was never
in doubt, although Oakes was slow in
getting to going. In the first quarter
the Golden Tornado put over one
touchdown, then added two in each Of
the next two periods, and three in the
final. Only two Of the tries for goal
were successful, Ed Hazel not having
the luck in locating the goal posts his
brother, Bert, had in the 'Britton con-
test, when he made 13 out Of Is.
The Oakes officials thought they had
a game scheduled with LaMoure for
Saturday Of this week, but LaMoure
says it is all misunderstanding. The
history Of the negotiations with La
Moure is such as to make the local
authorities suspect strongly that La
Moure was not at all anxious to play
Oakes this year because Of the strong
possibility Of sound drubbing from
the Golden Tornado. For three sea-
sons LaMoure has regularly walloped
Oakes in every game, but the local
eleven always took it's medicine in a
sportsmanlike way, conceding that the
better team won. This year, when the
local gridiron warriors saw chance
for a measure Of revenge, it made
them somewhat peeved to have their
up-river rivals sidestep every attempt
to arrange game.
Because Of it's record for the season,
the Golden Tornado had no difficulty
in lining up game for Saturday at
jamestown. In fact, only few hours
after the Jamestown date had been
definitely accepted, the principal Of
the high school at Moorhead, Mimi,
called up to attempt to arrange game
between Cakes and the "Spuds" for
Saturday. The Fargo Forum has
given the local eleven considerable
publicity because Of its good record
this season, all Of which helps to boost
for Oakes and its high school.

boys to give their best efforts, the

HOW WE GATHER a WAIST

Apiopos Of the female attire a
charming little blossom Of beautiful
fcminity informed us the other day
that gathered waists would be much
worn the coming summer. AS a mat
ter Of news, this interesting informa-
ton comes to us like flash of light
ming from clear sky, for we would
have you know that is our long suit
I'VE mean gathered waists. There
isn't more than one man in a hundred
who knows how to gather a waist and
gather 1t right. A great many 90 ut
1t the same as they do at washing
sheep or saving wood, which is, in
deed, entirely wrong. A waist should
be gathered, as a general thing, with
the right arm, although we are pleased
to be able to state that our long prac-
tice has enabled us to work with the
right or the left with equal celebrity.
1t should be handled about as YOU
would a dozen of eggs done up in a
funnel shape paper at a grocery store,
until you are sure you have it all gath
cred and well in hand. Then, the
amount Of firm and steady pressure
that little frail-looking waist will
stand is enough to make a man wish
for the hugging qualifications of pol
ar bear. We have been there and
know whereof we speak.-Ex.

the germ of government, a council
sitting on stones arranged in circle,
with the strongest Igorot on the larg-
est stone and calling the meeting to
order with war club for gavel.
From the Igorots, you can move
upward, somewhere finding people
in the civilization and mental devel-
opment of any century of the past.
These people are born behind the
times-100, 500, 1000 or whatever the
number of years may be. Probably
all people started on the same basis.
What made them progress at different
rates of speed until today we have the
white man communicating by wireless
telephone, the Chinese by slow mail
and couriers, the African jungle ma
tive by relay of tom-toms or smoke
signals? Climate has much to do
with it. But most important is lead
ership. 1t is leadership, on the wrong
track, that causes the decay of civil
izations after q period of rapid adj
vancement. You see the spirit of all
centuries of the past still animating
the different nations. And the same
contrasts exist among people Of the
same community. Many people, like
the Abyssinian slave traders, are
thinking in terms of the year 1860.
Others are centuries behind the times,
still others thousands of years be-
hind. A very few-like Edison, Elm
stein and Tesla-are centuries ahead
of their time. They are forerunners
of the average men of distant future.

THE HOME MERCHANT
BEHIND THE TIMES

Slave trading is increasing by leaps
and bounds in Abyssinia, Africa.
White men with rifles round up blacks,
chain them together and sell them on
the auction block to Abyssinian slave
masters. This state of affairs is ex-
posed by reporters for the Westmin-
ster Gazette, conservative English
newspaper 1t reads like a page from
the history of so years ago. !.
Men progress unevenly. Somewhere
on this earth you can find man in ev-
cry phase of barbarism and civiliza-
ton. The entire history of mans ev-
olution toward civilization is crammed,
somewhere, into this year 1922. Would
you like to go back into the mists of
history and see man in the very first
stages of civilization? No need to go
back. Just take a trip to the Philip
pines and watch the dog-eating Igo-
rot head-hunters, lowest form of hui
man life. Low as they are, they have
