Moscow farmers, it would seem,
are standing for something practical
when they ask that the government
arrange, through the war finance cor
poration, to handle the exportable
surplus of wheat, estimated at from
$50 to 200 million bushels, and that
the rest of the crop, which should be
absorbed in the United States, be
protected by a tariff of perhaps 45
cents on the bushel, so that it could
be sold at fair price and not come
in competition with other wheat pro-
ducing countries. The price to the
farmer would probably be about $120
bushel, which would give him bet
ter than cost of production, while the
price of bread might easily remain
the same as at present, as it will
be recalled that when wheat was SELL
ing for more than SO a bushel, the
price of bread was practically the
same as at the present time. Any |
loss which the government might sus-
tain on the export wheat would be |
absorbed in that portion of the crop
sold on the American market

Building Loan Co.
Offers Membership

The desire to own your home has
been greatly augmented by the fact
that the Minnesota Building and
Loan Association have offered mem
berships in the company to those of
our group. The advantage of mem
berships will become more obvious
when a thoro understanding is secur-
ed of the method of financing by the
Building and Loan Association. The
difference between the methods of
the average lender of money and the
Minnesota Building and Loan As
sociation will be appreciable when
comparison is made.
A special campaign is being put
on by the company along educational
lines and a mass meeting will be held
in the near future. The benefits
offered by the company is largely de-
pendant on the support received from
the race in st. Paul. Because of its
careful management and efficient
corp of executives. Anyone inter-
ested in owning their home is invited
to consult with the officers or with

Every one is looking with eager
expectancy toward the Style Show, to
be staged at the South Side Auditori-
um Monday evening, October Is, by

eradicated the belief that good con-
duct cannot be secured, at all times,
at the Auditorium.
The gowns will be furnished for
the Style Show from Askin & Marine
Ciothiers. A much more elaborate
event will be given this year. Last

religious drama that must be seen to
be thoroly appreciated. The admission
will be even twenty-five cents for
adults and fifteen cents for children

Clerks Welcome Fact That Pres
ident Will Not Permit Any
Form of Prejudice.
ACCEPTED
AS BEING AUTHENTIC
New Administration Said to
Hold to Harding Plan in Pref
erence to McAdoO.

Washington. d. c., Oct. Cur in
formant in the story following is a
prominent official, not a member of
the cabinet, but holding such an inn
portant position in the government
that he possesses cabinet prestige
without being under cabinet control.
He says that word has gone out from
President Coolidge to all bureaus and
departments of the government that
there must not be any discrimina-
tion in the treatment OF employees or
citizens on account of color" during
his administration.
Statement Authoritative
This statement, which is vouched
for as absolutely authoritative, is of
arresting significance, since 1t is the
first executive order concerning the
conduct of all departments that has
been issued by the new president.
In fact Mr.. Coolidge. deferring to the
familiarity that department and bu-
reau heads hold to administration OF
their Offices, has left the details en-
tirely to them. But the president
enlightened by many opportunities
for observation during the tenure OF
his residence here as vice president,
is determined to make sweeping
disposal Of the abuses, largely racial,
that were bequeathed to his admin
istration by the Democratic party.
McAdoo's Prescription
The first prescription of any na-
ture shown among governmental
employees was inaugurated by Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo. former Demo-
cratic secretary of the treasury, SON.
in-law of Woodrow Wilson and pres
ent receptive, deceptive and active
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for president. 1t began when
John SHELTON Williams, former
Democratic comptroller of the treas
ury and a scion of the first families
of Virginia, ordered separate toilet
arrangements for the "Colored en-
ployees" under his charge. From this
incident discrimination and segrega-
tion spread like wildfire until 1t was
considered to be a diploma of Demo-
cratic prestige and favor with the
Wilson administration to add some
new insult or humiliation to our
people.
Work of Democrates
This is one of the many problems
that the Democrats handed down to
the late Mr.. Harding and in the pres
sure of the responsibilities of the
great Office he endeavored to wipe
IL out. but his predecessors had
honeycombed the departments so
effectively with Democrats and pro-
tected them with civil service rules
that it was difficult to secure imme-
diate allegiance.
But rumors come from an official
source that President Coolidge
means business in connection with
this order to throw down all bars in
the service that segregate, discrimi-
nate or restrict opportunities for adj
vancement to any class of American

CLERKS TO MEETING
High Mark Was Due to Ap-
pointee's Zeal in Understand
ing All Angles of the Work.

At a recent meeting held at the
st. Paul Post Office the official ap-
pointment of James Murphy, 1854
Thomas street, to special clerk was
announced by Postmaster Moos. The
appointment came as a surprise to
Mr.. Murphy and those who had work
ed with him for number of years.
An examination was given for the
position and came under the super
vision of Postmaster General News at
Washington. Out of many competi-
tors Mr.. Murphy was chosen as he
secured the unusual high average of
99.6S. Such grading is seldom given
in the Civil Service department. The
appointment did not come as matter
of seniority but solely from merit
and efficiency.
Clerks Present
Seventeen fellow clerks assembled
in the Postmaster's Office with Mr..
Murphy and following the remarks
from Mr.. Moos, each expressed their
compliments to the newly appointed
chief clerk and their appreciation for
his untiring efforts in showing them
the advantages of doing things cor
rectly. The opinion was unanimous
that Mr.. Murphy had no superior for
the appointment. Following Mr.. Muir
ply expressed his thanks to Postmas-
ter Moos and his fellow clerks assur-
ing them that he would give his best
efforts to promote efficiency and that
the present administration might rest
assured that everything within, his
power would be used to make the de-
partment more efficient.

SITUATION IN PALATINATE
 APPROACHING A CRISIS
French Army Doctors Reported Ex- amining Candidates for Bayarian
 Separatist Army

Munich, Bavaria, Nov. 1.-The situation in the Bayarian Palatinate is believed to be approaching a crisis. The separatists are continually enlist ing men whom the French army doc- tors examine as to their fitness for service.
 The government Of Bavaria has considered and put aside q project for the compulsory delivery Of faadstutfs by the farmers, Herr Wutzhofer, minister ot agriculture, and .limseif one of the largest farmers in the country, says such measure would be harder to enforce than prohibition in America.
 The national law requisitioning grain and cattle, which was given up eight months ago, could never satis- factorily be applied in Bavaria and the government is convinced. after re- examining its possibilities, that it would be useless at present to attempt to re-introduce the measure. Hence the town populations must get through as best they can until the new gold notes issued at Berlin are dis tributed in quantities sufficient to re- place the old currency.
