BIG BARN BURNED.

Rolla Star: John Guedesse, Jr., of
Fairview, who lives on the farm of
his father, John t'uedesse, ST., of Rol-
la, awoke at 4:3O A. M. Monday to
see the barn a mass of flames. He
rushed to the barn in his night clothes
but was unable to enter by either the
front or the back door. The fire had
gained such headway that nothing
could be saved. The barn was one of
the best in Rolette county. It was
S2x64 and had lean or the east
side 18x40. On the west, there was
a corral 50x64. The barn was we'll
built and in good condition.
It contained seventeen young horses
all of which were over 1900 pounds in
weight, % sets of harness, one calf,
about 200 chickens, 800 bushels of
oats, and over 80 tons of hay. The
cause of the fire is unknown.
John Guedesse, Jr., went to the
barn about II P. NJ. that night, and
found everything in perfect condition.
The loss is estimated at $4,000. There
was no insurance.

Investigations Show Grain
Market Speculation

Recent Investigations Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation have showed
that speculation on grain market was
working hardship upon the producers
Of grain and that grain exchanges had
become so powerful that it was necessary
for the Government to regulate and con-
troll them-just as necessary as it is for
our Government to control the railroads,
to control insurance companies and to
control our banks.
This year the American Farm Bureau
Federation gave its support to this
demand at the hands Of Congress, and this
bill enacted into law. For the first time
in the history Of our nation, there is law
on the statute books providing for the
Federal regulation Of the grain exchanges
of the United States.
The Federation has assisted in procur-
ing legislation providing for the reg,lla-
tion and control Of our Live Stock markets.
At the present time the commissions on
the LIVE Stock Exchanges which the pro-
ducer 10 compelled to pay are from 80 to
100 per cent greater than those existing
before the war.

serious than this, is the enormous economic
loss due to the breakage Of more than FIVE
million dollars worth Of eggs every year.
The Transportation Department has sent
out bulletin to all the states and agri-
cultural papers calling attention to the
need of very carefully packing egg ship
ments, and is also preparing to take further
steps to reduce this loss, which in the end,
illogical as it may seem, is taken from the
pocketbook both of the consumer and of
the farmer.

Organized Department.
The Transportation Department Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation was
established in June, 1920, with Clifford
Thorne as director and c. B. Hutchings
~ traffic manager. The impetus to OF.
ganize this department came from de-.
peration Of the farmers during the caf
shortage Of the west. During July and
August Of 1920, 10000 box cars were
ordered sent into western territory and
thirty-6ve lake boats were induced to
carry grain to Buffalo on their way out to
sea.
The Transportation Department has
been continuously before the Interstate
Commerce Commission hearings ever
since.
