tor Norris Of Nebraska, republican.
took the floor in support of his mo-
tion. He said that it was intended to
meet IAN important contingency" ex-
listing today. The remedy. he added.
which is proposed in the bill. Is new.
He described it as a method of at
tempting to regulate trusts and COM
binatiohs dealing in fruit products
and explained the provisions Of the
bill in detail.
"rhe government corporation pro-
posed" said Senator Norris. will in
reality be a gigantic rniddleman.
which will aid both the producer Of
farm products and the consumer"
Efforts to Regulate Fail.
Senator Norris declared that this
country has for years spent huge
sums in an effort to regulate the
railroads and the trusts.
He said that these efforts have been
failure and that the United States
has expended enough money in at
tempting to regulate the railroads to
purchase a large number 1T them. He
added that in spite of laws to regu-
late trusts, more of them exist to-
day than In the past. The condition
existing in the country today he SAID
is abnormal, and every one admits
that 1t should be changed.
The producer of foodstuffs is losing
money because of the cost of pro-
ducron and the small return he re-
ceives. The consumer, on the other
hand. is paying too much. The
profits. Senator Norris declared, go to
the midneman. He described the
railroads as one of the middlemen
and frankly advocated the acquisi-
ton Of the roads by the government.
He said that he would advocate the
organization Of a government corpor-
alton to take the roads over for what
they are really worth and to operate
them for service and not for profit.

CITY SUFFERS HEAVY Loss BY STORM
Is Surprise
10 Fairmont.

Doubling Thomases received
a great surprise this morning
when they awakened and saw
the heavy snow fall which came
during the night. Although the
weather reports predicted snow
many thought this absurd, on &c.
count of the beautiful warm
weather OF yesterday.
The snow came silently dur
ing the wee small hours OF thg
night, and fastened itself not
only to the ground, but to the
trees and house.tops Of the city,
producing an altogether pictur-
esque landscape.
But what Is one mans Joy Is
another's sorrow, so while those
OF the artistic temperament
stood idly gazing at the snow
fall, those Of the more practical
and common place souls wele
busy with brooms and snow
shoyels.

The minister evangelist, j. e.
Gordon spoke on Jesus On the
Cross" He said in part: Every
one outside Of the church has some
big outstanding stone or cloud be.
tween him and the cross Of Christ.
Every Christian also has a cross
heavier than all others to bear and
must bear that cross. Every church
as we'll has her, cross. Salvation
Is not free. There Is a price TO
pay for It and that is the reason
many are without It. The cross is
the very center Of the Bible. Upon
this was the old covenant nailed.
It is the division between the Mo-
sale and Christian dispensation.
We are living In a new dispensa-
ton now and when one asks what
to do to be saved he should be-
pointed 10 tho New Testament
rather than to the old. The cross
ushers in the dispensation that
gives salvation TO all nations and
peoples that will obey. It is not
q national affair but a universal
program" Mr.. Gordon referred to
the seven words spoken by Jesus
while he was on the Cross and de-
sribed the scene OF the cruci-
tixion.

Gives Reasons For
Slack Business

IN discussing the causes OF the
present depression in Industrial and
business life, Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wallace says that the great.
est single factor behind the condi,
tion is the lack Of buying power by
the American farmer.
According to Secretary Wallace,
the farmer Of today is receiving
less for his general products than
he did IN 1918 and 1914, but on tho
other than Is paying 159 per cent.
more for the things he has to buy.
The dollar today is worth in pur.
chasing power to the farmer Just
3S cents, compared to the dollar he
received in 1913 Consequently, he
must spend $2.59 to get tho same
he Eot1fo s1.00 before the war.
( And he has no more dollars with
which, to buy than he had before
the war -
Approximately 40 per cent. OF our
population lives In the rural dis.
tricts, and when the purchasing
power of this 40 per cent.-norp
than 49,000,000 people Is reduced,
itmust necessarily reflect upon. the
remainder Of the country with dis.
astTous effect. -
The very fact that this condition
plays such an important part In the
.paralyztng OF our business and in.
dustries Is proof that we are sadly.
lacking In understanding OF eco.
nomic laws or our adjustment to
them.
It Is sure that with the value OF
his dollar cut halt in two: the
farmer must practice the most rigid
economy /. And we must remember
that the farmer b q consumer as
we'll az prod ducer. He Innst .weaf
