POLITICAL PANIC IN NORTH
DAKOTA

The best evidence of the turn Of
North Dakota in the direction of
Coolidge is in the newly apparent
doubt in the minds of the LaFoll-
cite managers of the certainty Of
success in November. This doubt
is shown in the refusal Of the La
Toilette manager to file with the
secretary of state the designations
of the four LaFollOtte electors, as
agreed on at the state central COM
mibtee meeting in Bismarck on
September 3. At that time 80
sure were the LaFOllette group
that the state was lost to Cool
iGse, that they agreed to withdraw
their nominees for elector from
the Republican column and place
them in the individual nominations
column of the ballot under the
names of LaFollette and Wheeler.
But as the campaign has pro-
crossed, warning signs have indi-
Gated to the radicals that they had
no such certainty. TO assure
themselves of it, they have finally
decided to leave the LaFollette
electors on the Republican column
and nominate others to run under
the LaFollette heading. This
makes it a case of Heads ! win,
tails you lose" for the radicals.
They thought they had a "sure
thing" three weeks ago. Now they
want to make it a sure thing by
having both sets of electors La
Toilette adherents.
To end this situation, Coolidge
Republicans brought action on
Monday before the Supreme court
asking 1t to end procedure
fraught with fraud and deceit"
and to GUST the radical electors
from the Republican column.
Whether the court grants the petit
ton, or not, the stand of the raLf-
Gals is a public confession that
they fear to put the issue to the
test in North Dakota and that their
cocksuredness of the past few
months has been followed by a
desperate grasping at every tao
teal advantage that promises sue
cess. Even here they lose, for no
people will sympathize with any
legal trick that defrauds a Repub
lican OF his right to vote for the
President and practically disfran-
chises him. nor will the odium OF
such course fail to attach itself
to the radical managers.

WHEAT PRICES-PRESENT
AND FUTURE

Among the causes for strength
in wheat and other grain prices,
is the shortage of the European
crop. Wheat in Canada is also a
short crop and Winnipeg prices
are steadily advancing.
The extent of the foreign short
age has been more clearly reveal
ed in the last two weeks, which ac-
counts for the large export sales.
Judging by the worlds shortage
wheat in the United States, on the
farm, is cheap at present prices.
If the natural conditions of its sale
are not INSTRUCTED by exporting
firms and buying combinations,
operating through the machiner"
of boards of trade, wheat, rye and
other grain food should show
higher prices in the next few
weeks, and much higher before an
other crop can be harvested!
The French wheat crop, accord
ing to the London Daily Mail,
Paris edition, quoting French esti-
mates, is 22,4OO,00O cwt, short, or
about 4O,OO0,0OO bushels. The
crop, both in France and North
Africa is said to be at least that
much short of the minimum re-
guirements, which will have to be
bought abroad. This accounts for
the active bidding for American
wheat the past week, and the adj
vance in the face of rush of grain
to market.
The price of bread is the most
pressing problem the new govern
ment in France has to meet. AS
showing the extremities of the
wheat shortage situation the
French cabinet has ordered the
projects of France to enforce flour
prices, to conform to recent regu-
latiOns, and to increase the sale Of
meat and fish in the street mar
kets. Strict laws to enforce food
prices will be passed and an urg-
emit appeal is made to all honest
traders to aid in defeating specu-
lation in food stuffs. 'Millers are
instructed to grind coarser flour
so as to waste as little grain as
possible. The Daily Mail adds:
ut is recognized however, that
vast financial commitments will
be necessary to cover the cost CT
purchase and transport of this
wheat"
All of this has a direct bearing
on North Dakota wheat grower
this year. With less than one
third of the crop thresheLl in spite
of the weather damage, the bulk
of the crop should bring much
better price than now prevails;
and competent commission firms,
and others in the grain trade, as
we'll as financial institutions and
business concerns, look for wheat
to sell as high as $3.50 per bushel.
on the farm, before spring, and
possibly even more.

STILL SATISFACTORY

The Literary Digest presidential poll, which has proved
remarkably accurate in the past continues to report als

slight decrease in the Coolidge vote compared to the
Harding of four years ago. but the decrease slight

went into office with the greatest popular majority ever
roled something 100000 lead James Cox, the
Democratic candidate No such landslide has been expected
for the Republican candidate yet his vote continues to be
close to that of Harding four years ago.
Returns from eighteen states in the poll show the Pres
den is leading in every state except Virginia and Texas
where Davis is ahead and Wisconsin, where aFoete polls
plurality The Davis vote continues remarkably low The
showing made by the Democratic party is bad that it
lends great weight to the statement Of Chairman Butler OF
The Republican National Committee that the election
Coolidge will poll tremendous Democratic vote from those
who wish to avoid the chaos that would result from throw
ing the election into the House of Representatives.
The Literary Digest poll accepting it at face value, indi
Gates Senator LaFoette will get large vote the country

balance of methods decide who shall be the next Pres

The Literary Digest is charged with polling the silk

New York, Oct. Aust before
the World War an ambitious Russian
had taken his young daughter to
Germany that her eyes. dimmed at
birth, might be opened to see the
beauties and wonders Of progress
ing world.
The operation was success and
the girls sight was restored just as
the war broke out. Father and
daughter came to America, as had
been originally planned, but without
returning to Russia for mother and
the remainder of the family.
Turmoil followed. The mother and
, babies could not get to the United
States. The father, opening small
laundry in New York, shaved and
saved for the coming of his flock.
1t is related to me that he lived in
such frugal fashion that he suffered.
Then, a few weeks ago, with all ar
engagements made for the reunion of
his long-separated family, he rented
an apartment and furnished it with
Injuries such as neither he nor his
family ever before had known. No
expense was spared to make the
home a wonder mansion for his low
ed ones.
AS time for the arrival of the boat
came, the young Russian could
scarce contain himself. He longed
to take his wife and children to his
bosom and nestle them forever-in

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
THE ROAD TO JUN JUN LAND

The Sand Man and Nancy and Nick
went skipping along the road that
led from Squeejick Land to jun jun
Land and the sea.
They were very happy because
they had found the lost sleepy sand
at last and as it was going on sun
down, it was almost time for the
Sand Man to start on his nightly
travels over the house-tops.
"Oh, the stars are SO bright,
That shine at night
Peep down like eyes at me,
And the Dream Maker Man
Works as fast as he can,
Picking dreams off the Dreamland
Tree"
sang the Sand Man happily.
And the Twins joined in the
chorus.
ooh, the Dream Maker Man,
Works as fast as he can
Picking dreams off the Dreamland
Tree"
They were so happy that they
never noticed that the road had
changed to cakes of soap, and Slip
perry ones at that, for the mischiev-
Gus gnomes had been at work.
Suddenly Nick's feet flew and
Nancy's flew and they fell down and
rolled against the Sand Man and
knocked him over, too, and the
sleepy sand flew out of his hands
and landed in field of prickly pep
pers.
Quick as ball can bounce, Tweek-
anose jumped in and picked up the
sleepy sand and ran off with it.
''Ha, ha, ha! Hee, hee. heel" the
Twins and the Sand Man heard him
giggle. "No sleep for the babies to-
night"
Dear, dear!" said the Sand Man
in worried voice. "Now it's gone
again after all our trouble! Here it
is almost moon-up and me without
drop of sleepy sand! It's all to do
over again. Wen have to go right
after that rascal. Tweekanose, and
teach him lesson"
Nancy and Nick got up and rubbed
their bruises and bumps and helped
the poor Sand Man to his feet.
The slippery soap had disappeared
as quickly as it had come.
If they had looked quite closely,
they would have seen a hundred
little gnomes Juggling and Juggling
all the soap cakes back to Gnome-
land where Crookabone. the Gnome
King, praised them.
II always like to help friend"
he remarked. II suppose Tweeka-
nose is miles away by this time. Per-
haps he's in. the moon. If he goes
far enough the Sand Man will surely
be out of a job"
When the Twins finished rubbing
their bruises, the Sand Man said,
you'll have to take your magic
shoes, children, and go to all the
cities and turn back the town clocks
while 60 to the moon and ask the
Moon Man to please keep the moon
back little so people won't think it
is so late. Perhaps we can still
get the sleepy sand in time to put
the babies to Sleep"
"All right, Mister Sand Man." said
Nancy. "And when we've turned
all the clocks back, where shall we
go"
"Meet me on the moon at the
Dream Makers" said the Sand Man
"He lives on the edge of the Golden
Forest with his three sons, Snoozle
and Snuggle and Snore."
We'll be there" said the Twins.
