CARRYING WHEAT OVER

A good many months ago The Herald publish
ed a table compiled from government records OF
wheat prices on the Chicago market for a period of
some 20 years. The statement mad often been made
that wheat is always low in the fall when the bulk
of the marketing is done, and high the following
spring. These alleged facts are explained on the
ground that SPECTATORS force down the price in: the
fall, load up with cheap wheat, and then unload
after they have forced prices up in the spring.
These statements did not accord with The
observation of the trend of prices, but
there was available no official compilation which
could be accepted as authoritative. Official figures
were obtained, compiled and compared, and it$was
found that the man who had held his wheat year
after year until spring, and then sold it, would have
received about 4 cents perSbushel less if he had sold,
in the fall. Out of this 4 cents he would have had to,
provide for storage%charges, interest charges and
shrinkage. lnasome years he would have made a
good profit. In other years he would have sustain
ed a loss. But one year with another it wouldHhave
paid him better to sell his wheat in the fall.
The Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce has
just issued a bulletin dealing with the same sub
ject. Two grades of wheat are discussed, No. l
for the four fall months and the four
following spring months for the years 1885 to 1914
inclusive. The war years and the years following
the war are not included because of the cratic be-
|haviors of the market in those years because, of war
conditions. y :. : % &fH"f|
-. The Minneapolis tabulation shows substantially
what The Herald's tabulation showed months ago.
For the years cited the average spring price exceed
ed the average fall price for No. 1 Northern 4.25
cents, and for No. 2 Northern 4.32 cents.
The correspondence between the two tabula-
tons is striking inasmuch as they cover different
years and are made for different markets: They dis
prove completely one of the pet theories. of stump
speakers. of a certain class. Nevertheless, the theory
will persist, and it will be made to do duty in many
a campaign. 1T

PROHIBITION FOR TURKEY.

There is in Turkey. an anti-alcoholic league
which is working for the total suppression Of in
toxicants in Turkey, and the adoption of prohibi-
ton by the United States has encouraged the Turk
ish prohibitionists in; their efforts. The subject of
prohibition has peculiar interest in Turkey, mas
much as abstention from all forms Of intoxicants is
one Of the tenets of the Mohammedan religion. No
true follower Of the prophet is supposed to touch
anything that intoxicatcs. The non-Mohammedan
populations, however are placed under no such, re-
strictions. Armenians and Greeks are not required
by their religion to go dry, and among them the
drinking of native wine is as common as it is. in
France or italy. E#%
: There is a powerful element among the Turks
who wish to rid their country entirely of both
Greeks and Armenians. Considerable progress has
been made in disposing OF Armenians by the simple
process of killing them. With reference to the
Greeks in Turkey, it is often charged that they are
as prone to violence as arc the Turks. Be that as
it may, a good many thousand Greeks have been
slaughtered in recent months in territory under
Turkish. control. But it is suggested that the
adoption of prohibition would rid the country of the
remaining Greeks and Armenians as nothing else
could do.
incidentally, prohibition would be a decided in
convenience to not a few of the Turks, whose &C
ceptance of the ~teetotal doctrines of the prophet is
theoretical rather than practical. =

LET'S BE REASONABLE

II a majority OF the membersfelect OF the leRis-
lature should go to Bismarck this winter with chips
on their shoulders and knives in their bootlegs, an
interesting time would be had by all, and the results
would be doubly interesting to the people at large,
who would have to pay the bills for a couple of
scrapping, with no constructive results.
We do not believe that the men. who will con
stitute 80 per cent of the membership of the two
houses are constituted that way. On the contrary,
they are honestly DESTROYS of doing the very best
that can be done for the state, and can be induced
to adopt an unreasonable attitude only by evidence
Of what they believe to be unreasonableness on the
Part of those who do not see thingsquite' as they do.
No state legislation can be enacted and made
effective this winter which is not fairly satisfactory
to the moderate men in both groups, which have
been designated as Independent and League. The
former on a straight ~factional division, will have a
fair majority in the senate andsa slight majority in.
the house. But if anyone Of either faction Should.
undertake a program either of obstruction or of re-
venge, he would find the strength of His own fac
ton slipping away from him.
Every intelligent league member knows that no
such thing is possible at this time as a material ex-
tension of the business activities of the state gov
eminent. Few of the men who constitute the
bone and sinew of the league strength desire such
expansion at this time. They will demand, as they
have a right to demand, that the lines of business
to which the state is definitely committed be faith
fully conducted. They do not expect or desire that
the Home Building enterprise shall be revived, that
the Bank of North Dakota be made again a com
snercial institution, or that new enterprises shall be
undertaken. e 49, =.
Their neighbors in the Independent group, on
the other hand, are definitely committed to the op-
Grafton of the state mill and elevator by the state
for the benefit of all its people, to the judicious ex-
tension Of the farm loan feature of the business of
the Bank Of North Dakota, and to such legislation
as experience shows is needed for the proper per-
Torrance of this and other business Of the state.
All are alike interested in the wise and con-
sructive treatment of those problems which can
have no ~factional bearing, economy and efficiency
IN the administrative work of the state, meeting the
imperative needs of the several state institutions,
and 30 forth. ETA e
The coming session can be made one of the
most important in the history Of the state if the de-
1nand for sanity and moderation which undoubted-
S1y exists throughout the state is permitted to find
expression in the work of the legislature. To ac-
eomplish that sagaeious leadership will be required.
III there is such leadership in both groups the re-
suits cannot fail to be beneficial to the state.

bowls and all sorts of wooden dishes
We're made from the discarded bass.
wood which would not burn and was
no good for construction. Soon anoth-
er household use was developed and
Eastwood appeared in the form of
chtldren's toys. Here again It's clean
appearance and it's 4non-splitting quail
tiles were valuable Also, 1t is light
in weight and a Eastwood lion can be
thrown much further across the nur-
sery than one made OF a material as
heavy as oak.
Pursuing the household uses. iron
ing boards, wringers and other things
used in the laundry where clean,
white woodwork is at a premium,
were made from it.
Nearly everyone has seen the clean,
white little wooden boxes in which
comb honey Is sold, and, at least SUBJ
consciously, thought how much more
appetizing the delicacy APPEARED be-
cause OF h appearance Of the con-
tainer. These, boxes as well as many
other supplies of apiaries, are made
Of Eastwood.
Used in Fine Manufactures.
Once the prsjudice was removed, it
was discovered that lots of things
could be done with this wood If it
were properly sawed and dried. Parts
of 1t were, used for furniture. 1t be-
came a favorite material for bowels,
the little cylindrical pieces of wood
used to fit pieces Of wood together,
such as appear in the leaves Of the
dining room table. Nothing, 1t was
found, would add to the clean appear
ance Of a travelling trunk any more
than Eastwood and SO it was used for
the sides of trays and partitions.
Picture frames and mouldings,
where a non-splitting material was
necessary, were found to be practical
uses and finally. the outcast bass
wood was put into such fine manufac-
lures as musical instruments. n {,
One Of its uses puts this material
in everyone's hands. Millions OF
matches which are struck every day
all around the world have Eastwood
sticks. Here was where the non
burning qualities Of sthe wood, which
once made It ,despised, were capital
lied. Fires are set by matches thrown
away because they hold fire too long
But the 'poor> burning qualities Of a
basswood stick would minimize the
dangerous afterglow and the fire
would not last after.it was needed.
So the progress continued. Kitchen
cabinets. tobacco boxes, shoe lasts
Pullman car finishing, handles OF al
sorts, thread sp0ols,s shade. and. MAJ
rollers, pulleys and finally even cas-.
kets and coffins werefmade in part, al
least. of Eastwood. In all. $50 prac.

so per e of the American born
grandfathers and g~randmothers in the
United States are familiar with the
slang meaning of the word Eastwood.
That is because such q percentage of
these venerable persons came from
the section of the country in which
the Eastwood tree is Indigenous. The
reason for the use Of such q slang
term was that it's colloquial meaning
reflected the opinion of the value of
the tree. When our grandparents
wanted to describe an utterly worth
less object or even a person deemed
to be worthless. such a person or OBJ
ject was said to be Eastwood. because
OF all the vast natural wealth which
the pioneers found in this country,
the Eastwood tree was considered Of
least value. 5st
In the early. days when the Almeri-
can pioneer wen into the wilderness
he had to depend on the things he
found in that environment to fill his
everyday needs. He must build his
houses Of the native woods, he must
make his tools Of native iron, he must
weave his clothes Of native fibres and
must raise his own food. Such a civ
ilization caused these people to put
OSllllllc tFAluCS upOu all Iho PAOOuClo
of natures Everything had a value.
Hickory was good for axe handles and
ash for wagon spokes. Pine and all
kinds Of oak were excellent firewood.
but Eastwood was discovered to; be
good for nothingl W..
It's fibres yer too spongy and
stringy to work into anything useful.
1t was not strong to. withstand pres
sure. 1t did not last long and it would
not burn we'll. Almost any other kind
of waste wood at least would mean a
good fire, but Eastwood when set
alight would sputter for a while and
go out and what little burning it
would do rave very little heat in COM
parison with other fuels. Ia 4
\ So 1t was not surprising that men
and women who must put definite
values on materials and on people
surrounding them should coin a new
word for their language and agree
that Eastwood should describe a use
less object or a worthless drone. In
the. states from the Atlantic coast to
the prairies and from Georgia and
Mississippi to the Canadian line. the
Eastwood tree grows in nearly every
county and in this section the slang
term Eastwood can be heard among
old people to this day.
