Sunday night, Jan. 1st, some in

busted into the basement under the
Devils Lake Drug Co. and carried off
a quantity of alcohol-between IL

seems to have been gained through
the coal chute under the Balrickman
barber shop into the freight hall,
where the back door into the base
ment was broken open.
The evidence in such case is US
ually easy to trace, but in this in

SECOND TRAGEDY
AT BERTH0LD
THE HAGEN FAMILY VICTIMS
AGAIN IN r. r. CROSSING
SMASH-UP.

For the second time Berthold has
witnessed the tragedy of life destroy
ed by accident at the west railroad
crossing in that city. The accident
took place on the day before Christ
mas when bus containing o. A.
Hagen, his wife, an eleven year old
son, Robert, and an adopted daugh-
ter, Eleanor, nine years of age, was
struck by the west bound Williston
local. The horses escaped injury but
the cab was entirely demolished, and
the occupants thrown to both sides
of the track. The boy had a leg
broken and Eleanor had an arm and
leg severed by the wheels of the
train. Mrs. Hagen suffered fracture
of the pelvic bone and will not leave
the hospital for several months ac-
colding to physicians. She was 9TH
erwise seriously bruised. Mr.. Hagen
escaped with the ligstest injuries of
all but his bruises have not permitted
him to leave the hospital as yet.
A light engine going east was at
tached to a coach which was stand
ing in the yards and the injured were
rushed to Minot and taken to the St.
Joseph's hospital. Eleanor died from
her injuries the next day.
On December II, six years ago,
two sons of Mr.. Hagen were killed in
an accident at the same crossing
when Great Northern train No. 9 ran
into school bus killing the driver,
Walter Ahern, and six Of the children
in the bus. The little girl Eleanor
was adopted by the Hagen family
after the loss of these two boys. Her
parents are dead but she has an aunt,
Mrs. S. Richardson, at Ryder.
Mr.. Hagen is one of the pioneer
settlers of the Berthold community.
He is secletary-treasurer of the Ber-
thold Federal Farm Loan association
and one Of its most live. and progress
sive members. ISIS

Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin,
issued a statement last Wednesday,,
charging the coal, steel and lumber
interests with an attempt to influence
farm organization leaders to quit

RESPONSIBILITY OF FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
FOR FARM SLUMP TO Be INVESTIGATED

1ne AmoT1CtaN II dIIil Ou1cdu ESO-
eration has instructed President
Howard to appoint committee to in
vestigate the responsibility of the
Federal Reserve Board in the present
low prices Of farm products and gen.
eral business stagnation. That Pre-
:sident Howard will appoint the COM
mittee seems certain.
President Howard had some very
strong ideas on the question himself.
In his speech at the Minnesota State
Fair last year, he called attention to
the fact that while the Bank of Eng
land has no banker on it's board Of
directors, there are nothing but bank
ers on the Federal Reserve Board.
Wallace's Farmer, paper of which
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace is
at least a part owner, in an issue ap-
pearing before his appointment, held
the Reserve Bank directly response
BE for the present business condi-
tions in the United States. North
west Farmstead has studied the ques-
.tion very carefully for long time.
Il has disliked to believe that any
body of men could. deliberately and
Intentionally bring about such a con-
dition as exists with reference to
money in the United States. The
evidence pointing to the Federal Re
serve Board has seemed very definite,
and it must be admitted that the ex-
plantations of the banks officers have
appeared to becloud the issue rather
than to make it clear.
The Federal Reserve law is GER
tainly a good one. Directed by the
right kind of men, it would do the
thing it was intended to accomplish,
prevent panics and tend to reduce
fluctuations in prices by providing an
elastic currency, expanding and con-
tracing with the volume Of business.
Administered wisely for this pur-
pose, it carried US without financial
difficulty through tremendous war,
In which we were able even to finance
foreign countries.
It has, however, one defect. Oper-
ated by men who so desire, it may be
made, by expanding and contracting
the currency, to work backwards, and
expand and contract business and
values at the whim or in the interest
Of those who direct it's policies.
Whether by this process business
and values have been wantonly deflat-
ed to the profit of large holders Of
money and securities an dto the great
loss of farmers and business men and
smaller banks, is, as Northwest
: Farmstead. understands it, the ques-
tion which the Farm Bureau commit
tee will be asked to investigate.
Something has gone radically
wrong with our financial system. 1t
seems to be running backward. A
good many folks think the Federal
Reserve Board has thrown the wrong
switch. We certainly ought to have
an investigation by able, fearless and
incorruptible men in whom we can
have full confidence. Any other sort
will leave the situation worse than it
is now.
If present conditions are the result
Of deliberate and intentional action
on the part of the Reserve Board
they richly deserve the exercration
they are receiving. If not, they
should be fully exonerated.-Nor

MUCH FLUCTUAT|kG IN WHEAT MARKET ON CHICAGO BOARD
All Three Grain Staples Took a Dip, While the Provisions List Was Much Improved
 All Through
Rr Assncint.d Prsss

Chicago, March 25.-A broad mark ct with wheat prices fluctuating rapidly and the close near the low point marked the short Saturday session on the Chicago board of trade Wheat closed with net losses of 1s to Pc; corn was off 1 to l 7sc; oats finished
 I4 to 1ac lower; lard from 2la to 15c higher and ribs 30 to S21kc up.
 In the wheat pit eastern bears att tackled the May option at the start and were helped by some local trad CTS, There was some excellent sup port for July when these tactics brought the latter month to around SLY and the first and subsequent de- clines were checked. May received support at around $1.31 and the local shorts generally scurried to cover when this developed. The source of
 the buying was obscure hut 1t evil
 dently had it's limits for when local longs tried to unload towards the close they found no takers and de- cided slump market the final 30 min utes.
 Corn was weak from the start and the May went into new low ground for the present movement. Exporters bought corn at Omaha but domestic industrial demand seemed shut off and one bearish report was that plants at several midwest points would be shut down because feed was being sold and starch was piling up.
 Oats merely fluttered up or down in the wake of corn. Provisions were considerably higher but realizing sales checked the advance. Higher yards prices for live hogs and inn proved conditions in the Liverpool
 provision market were the chief news factors.

 Actual improvement in general bus mess Is still slow to materislize but encouraging phases are attaining in- creased prominence. Some progress toward revival of activity is recorded each week and strengthening of sen timer upon which>, ecovery so large Fly depends has continued.
 Recent gains in certain basic in- dustrles. notably in iron and steel are being extended and the expansion of building operations in most parts of the country is a highly favorable augury, Belief in a gradual better ment of conditions fnds more fre- quent expression even in lines where results have been least satisfactory and existing and threatened labor troubles. although causing uncertain ty do not check the growth of con- fidence.
 more optimistic note has marked reports from the west since the ap- precable rise in prices of agricul- tural products which has enhanced the public purchasing power in that section and the depleted state of most merchandise stocks leads to more numerous replenishments orders as consumptive demands broaden.

Reduced Prices On Sheetings Has
 Very Good Effect
By AssocIated presa

New York. March 25.-7The reduced prices on wide sheetinss brought Tn business quite freely on some of the best known branded lines and the two largest mills are now stated to be sold ahead into June. Further re- auctions have been made on branded IA bleached cottons and moderate amount Of new business is being placed Wide print cloths have been weak With the demand light. while the narrow goods hold steady. Brown sheetings have sold for export to the extent of 5000 bales in the past lo days and there has been a larger export movement in colored cottors.
 Wash fabrics are selling a little more actively with the bulk of the business centering on tissues, ging- hams. swisses, ratines and some voiles. Prices in primary markets are so close to cost that many mills are curtailing their output awaiting larger demand. The strikes in New England continue. The curtsil- ment of output due to these strikes has not yet been felt appreciably in the markets and some goods reduc- tons have taken place despite the fact that mills making them have not turned a wheel for nine weeks.
 1arHS are irregular ana In some instances prices have become so low that mills decline them and have ar ranged to curtail production. Prices current in primary markets are as follows:

RAFl BULL|SH r ACTOR IN COTTON
 TRADING YESTERDAY
Trade Was Small and Mostly Local, Public Interest Being Restricted by Coal
 Strike Outlook
By AasocInted Prsa.

New York March 25.-Low barom- eter with rain over the southw est furnished a bullish factor in the cot ton market at the opening today when prices were two to four points net higher but before the day was out it had been turned into a bear ish item and induced selling under which the market closed barely steady at a net decline of four to seven points. Early support of the market was based on expectations that the rain area would extend over Sunday into the eastern belt where 1t is not needed and in fact would cause further delay to farm prepara- tions.
 The subsequent change in senti- meut was brought about by the ar rival of numerous advices claiming that the rain in western Texas and Oklahoma had proved very beneficial and would improve the prospects for an early crop start. Outside of this influence the market was furnised with but very little news either way. Trade was small and mostly local, the public interest being restricted by prospects for big coal strike and 8 further spread of the New England textile strike.
 The curtailment at Fall River for the week was 10000 pieces and the sales of print cloths a similar total An eastern belt cotton man claimed that fertilizer shipments had cut credits about 40 per cent owing to the poor financial position of the farmers. There was moderate selling by New Orleans in the last half hour and re- ports of an easier basis in portions of the eastern belt. May contracts declined to 17.67c, July 17.17c and Oc- tober 1879, the dullness of the market being Illustrated by the fact that there was about only 10 to 15 points diff ference between the highest and low est prices all day. May-July trading was done at 54 points difference this morning against 50 points at the close yesterday, reflecting the demand from spot houses

More rolling and steel capacity has been put on this week and production is working toward the 70 per cent mark. Future contracts continue to enlist atten- ton of some buyers and instances of material being taken for stock pur- poses are more numerous.
 Jobbers in the Chicago district are credited with having placed recently from 100000 to l50. 900 tons of bars to replenish their supplies.

NEW YORK COTTON n., Aasnoiat.l Dxa..
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 Ry Associated press

New Orleans, March 25.-Slghtly higher prices in the early trading in cotton today were due to the passing of the March position without any tenders of consequence. If was at first believed that no March notices at all had been issued but later on it was discovered that notices for 600 bales had been issued but were not allowed to circulate. AfteN ad- vance of ? to , points the mark ct commenced to fall off under moder- ate selling based on rains in west Texas and on uneasiness over mill labor conditions both in England and in this country. Toward the end of the day prices were to points under the final quotations of yester- day; the close was to ' points net lower on the day with May at 1646c At it's best May traded at 16.57c and at its lowest at 16.44c.
 According to both official and private reports, much rain fell n Oklahoma and Texas and points in west Texas wired local brokers that the best rains in seven months had fallen which would result in large planting of cotton. Selling would have been heavier on this feature out for the likelihood that rains would be felt in central and eastern por- tions of the belt over the week end where they would be highly detri- mental.
 Reports received here told of the further spread of New England mill strike and said that more mills would probably be affected early next week. At the same time Manchester cabled that mill owners in Lancashire c would put the matter of reduction in wages up to the unions some time during the day
