PLOT EXPOSED
BY LOCAL MAN
w. f. Brccn Has Verbal Tus-
sic with "Whispering
Strangers

The Whispering Stranger" has
come to North Dakota! He first ap-
peraed in Indiana during the wheat
pool drive there. Just a quiet smooth
chap who eases up to a farmer on a
street corner, pats him on the back
and generally makes good fellow
of himself. He then turns the con-
versation to pooling. "Ah yes,
know all about that. I'm from the
Burley Tobacco district Cor perhaps
from California or the cotton states).
ats the bunk" he continues.
Farmers are dissatisfied and the as
sociations are busted" Indeed he
can paint Il black picture! That's
what he's paid for.
The Indiana poOlers drove him out
of that state and he moved to
Kansas to try and stop the raid on
the spectators profits. OF course
there were Il great many of these
whispering Strangers"-the grain
trade never does things by halves.
Some alleged to be members of the
tobacco associations and some of
the cotton associations, but when
some of the fearless poolers grabbed
them by the collar and forced them
to tell their names and their home
addresses they wilted and disap-
pearcd. Investigations were con-
Quoted with respect to those who
gave their names and addresses, but
these proved to be fictitious, clearly
indicating the type of men they
were.
W. r. Breen of Bismarck, chair
man of Burleigh county, met two of
these fellows recently. They but
tonhOled Mr.. Breen and began to
tell him what failure the Burley
Tobacco association was and knocked
the cooperative movement generally.
However they got an earful from Mr..
Breen, who was converSant with the
real situation i'm Kentucky, but
there is no telling how much damage
they have done, and how extensive
the "whispering campaign" is being
conducted in this state. Similar re-
ports are heard from other sections.
These men who tackled Mr.. Breen
said they were statesmen handling
grease and oil, but an inquiry among
the merchants disclosed the fact
that they had made no efforts to
sell their wares in this city, and that
they knew nothing of them.
Only one conclusion can be drawn
the grain trade has turned loose
bunch of fabricators in this state
to discourage the further develop
ment of the wheat pool.

manded a just price based upon
actual conditions. The wheat farm

the storm and took their losses.
Every wheat grower remembers all

ment constitutes the severest posi-
bic indictment of our present wheat
marketing machinery and provides
powerful argument for those who
advocate far-reaching changes in the
meth0ds of marketing wheat.
The fact that three statements
should drive down the price of a
staple commodity like wheat 80
cents bushel, and thereby reduce
the income of the wheat growers of
the United States something like
$500 man, would seem to be proof
positive that We need to examine
closely our facilities for wheat mar
keting, with a view to providing
some Substantial improvements.
Under the wheat pool plan the in
dividual farmer will deliver his
wheat to his local elevator, prefer
ably farmers elevator, much the
same as he always has Instead of
selling it outright, he will transfer
title to the association, which will
pay him two-thirds or so of it's value

NO, DAKOTA WHEAT PRODUCERS
SEEK MAJOR PORTION OF CROP
Merchandising Instead of Dumping the States Staple Crop
Expected to Give Growers Voice in Determining the
Basic Price Values Reduce Spread Between Producer
and Consumer, They Say

On the morning of June 16 1000 farmers and bust
of North Dakota will climb into their tneys and
for week will scy among the wheat producers who
not members of the commodity wheat pool for the
purpose of convincing them that merchandising wheat in
stead of dumping it into speculative market the past
the only whereby they will be able to have de-
ermning voice in establishing the basic price level and
get the full commercial value from their product.
The wheat pool campaign is being conducted under the
Joint auspices of the National Wheat Growers Advisory
Committee of which Frank c. Lowden, former of
Illinois is chairman and the North Dakota Wheat Growers
Association which has been operating under the california
Plan of commodity marketing for two years past
Upon the of this membership drive depends the
future prosperity of the wheat industry of the state, for
the old system of speculative sale is recognized obsolete
and inadequate to meet modern needs and the life of
the system of cooperative commodity marketing,
through farmeroWned and controlled wheat pool agency
rests largely securing control of sufficient volume to
insure dominant position the market and reduce the dis
tributive cost per bushel.

1t is apparent from the table that
every per cent increase in gluten in
cleases the value of wheat IL per
cent per bushel. This difference is,
as a matter of fact, greater as far
as the farm remote from the mill
ing centers is conce rned. To get
SO Id. Of gluten the miller has to
pay freight on two bushels Of 3
per cent gluten wheat, as against
l bushel Of Is per cent gluten
wheat, as an extreme illustration.
This obviously makes the higher
gluten value less expensive to mar
ket where gluten is the commodity
that is in reality purchased, and
gluten is the commodity purchased
because the starch element Of The
flour can be grown closer to the
nilling centers and where the yields
ir the winter wheat area average
twice as much per acre as in the
spring wheat area.
There is only one way by which
wheat producers of North Dakota
can get the full value from their
crop and that is by organized sell
ing with terminal facilities for de-
termining the gluten content of
tfeir product.
Organization should also contri-
butte greatly to co-ordinased and
concerted effort to improve the
quality of the wheat, standardize the
varieties and make demands upon
the buyers for the full premium
values. Individual competition is
the heritage of the Dark Age, and
organized effort is the keynote of
modern progress, be it either in FRO
cuction, marketing or community
welfare.

LOCKED OUT MINERS
IN NEED OF CLOTHING

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. H.
The United Mine Workers of America
are confronted with a serious situa-
ton in the Kanawha Valley coal re-
giOn in West Virginia, where thous-
ands of miners and their families have
been evicted from company-owned
homes. The miners have been locked
out since the first of April and are
penniless.
The International Union is supply
ing these miners with food at a cost
of several thousand dollars a day, but
is unable, Of course, to provide the I'M
fortunates with shoes and clothing.
The locked out men and their families
are occupying barracks provided by
the union, but are sadly in need of
clothing and shoes. An appeal has
been sent out by Percy Tetlow, pres
ident of the district, and VIII c..
Thompson, the secretary-treasurer.
Reports received at the International
Union here indicate that the appeal is
being generally needed by union or
CARNATIONS over the country.
The coal companies used the old
time Czaristic methods of trying to
break the strike. Heads of families
were notified that unless they returned
to work within five days at a reduc-
ton in wages and without any union
recognition, they would be removed,
with their families, from their homes,
without further process, legal or 9th
erwise.
This edict was carried out by bands
Of men posing as detectives, heavily
armed, and in some cases accompanied
by bloodhounds to terrorize the min
ers. The action created the bitterest
of feelings and to prevent bloodshed
the officials of the miners appealed to
the Governor and the attorney gen
eral. The latter issued an opinion
which stopped, for a time, the illegal
evictions, but not before thousands of
families were compelled to leave their
homes and camp wherever they could
find a space of ground not company
owned.
It is believed that great suffering
will prevail this winter in the valley
unless something is done speedily to
alleviate the conditions Of the union
miners there.

viii tire him soon, and fail to hold
his interest as the battered, beloved
one will"
Toys which can carry a number of
roles in the imaginative mind of the
child are always of the most inter
est to him, DR.. Turner says. Blocks
which can be constructed into inlu-
merable things are always happily
received. Horses and wagons, or
automobiles, which can fill his mind
with all sorts of imaginative expedi-
tons, will keep him busy for hours.
Toys with sharp edges which may
cut the fingers, should be avoided
when looking for a Christmas pres
ent, DIR. Turner says. Likewise high
ly colored toys, whose dyes may come
off on the fingers or in the mouths,
are not advisable. Each child should
have his own "tooter," because germs
are repeatedly spread when one child
after another uses a horn. Dull
pointed scissors for the child who is
always borrowing mothers, is another
good suggestion.
A few toys, suitable for the age
Of the child and well constructed, are
much to be desired to a great many.

TRAIN DISPATGHERS ASK
FOR INCREASE IN WAGES
By international Labor News Service.

By international Labor News Service.
CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Train dis
patchers on western railroads, repre-
scented by the American Train Dis
patchers association, are asking the
United States Railroad Labor board
for an increase in wages.
The train dispatchers say that their
duties and responsibilities have been
greatly increased in recent years
without adequate increase in compen-
sation. They further say that their
wages in fact have been decreased
by the elimination of pay for vacation
periods on some of the railroads.
The dispatchers point out that their
earning years are Is less than per-
sons engaged in other vocations,
while men less skilled are command
ing higher wages. They say that the
average life of train dispatcher is
AZ years, while the average for other
vocations is 81 years. 1t is pointed
out that the high tension and unnat-
ural strain under which a train dis
patcher labors results in many or
ganic diseases.
The train dispatchers say that they
are amply fortified in their conten-
tons by arguments that the carriers
themselves have made before the Rail-
road Labor Board and the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Quart of Water
Cleans Kidneys
Take a Little Salts II Your Back
Hurts, or Bladder ls Troubling
You

No man or woman can make a mis-
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a well known authority.
Eating too much rich food creates
acids, which excite the kidneys. They
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the
waste and poison from the blood.
They will get sick. Rheumatism,
headaches, liver trouble, nervousness,
dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary
disorders often come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys, or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding, be-
gin drinking a quart of water each
day, also get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast, and in a few days
your kidneys may act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
kidneys; also to help neutralize the
acids in the system, so they no longer
cause irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent Whitewater
drink which every one should take
now and then to help keep the kidneys
clean and active and the blood pure,
thereby often avoiding serious kidney
complications. By all means have
your physician examine your kidneys
at least twice a year.
