PILOT WIEN BRINGS PILOT MERRILL. TO NOME
 FROM POINT BARROW

Friday. Noel Wien, ploting his cabin plane. arrived at Nome the same evening shortly before seven o'clock He brought with him Pi- lot Russell Merrill of the Anchor age Air Transport Company. and Miss Emily Morgan. trained nurse and superintendent of the Barrow hospital. who is caring for MT. Mer- Till. who is in a very weakened con- dition. from his trying expel fences mushing across country from his plane to Barrow. with the details of which Nugget readers are familiar.
 MT. Merrills arrival was met on the landing field by scores of his Nome friends whom he greet ed warmly and the broad smile on his face gave them assurance that in short time he will be strong and back on the job again. Mir. Merrill is too weak to sit up yet and is now on the way to re- covering his health and strength again. He was put in a fur sleep ing bag and was stretched out on the floor of the Stinson cabin plane. and stood the trip we'll. Merrill was taken to the May nard Columbus hospital on stret- cher. and will rest up here day or two before starting on the 8 hour flight with Noel Wien from Nome to Anchorage across country. The
 flight from Nome will be made in Merrill's plane. which is in eS- cellent condition after its trying experience in the North. They will be accompanied by Miss Elm ly Morgan, to whom much credit lis due to saving his life ln the hospital at Barrow.
 Ralph Wien, brother of Noel, piloted the Anchorage plane from Barrow to Nome successfully and without incident He carried no passengers but was heavily loaded with freight and baggage. Mail was also brought down from Bar row and Kotzebue.
 Delegate Dan Sutherland who was at Kotzebue. was also brought down in Noel Wien's plane. The trip from Barrow clear thru to Nome was at times difficult owing to fog but luck was with them and they lodged around and away from the coast to better flying conditions and shortly after their arrival here fog banks settled over the sur rounding country.
 In writing about Pilot Merrill we cannot refrain from mentioning that on several occasions during the past winter Merrill has gone to the distress of several pros pectors and in one instance made a forced flight from Anchorage to Seldovia, which is to the west ward. in answer to call for help. In this instance Bessie Howe
  Bureau teacher was cleaning a gun when it accidently went oh and she was shot in the abdomen. Mer- Till put her in his plane and rush. ed back to Anchorage, landing in the darkness of night with only few headlights from automobiles to show him where the landing field was. The passenger was In dying condition, but prompt and skillful medical attention saved her life. It IS not strange that a man like Merrill should be treated tenderly and nursed back to stren- gth by other good sumaritans and not least among them is Noel Wien, who tried in vain for hours and

Trunk Highways Not Good
Place for Celebrations
State Highway Department OPP
posed-Plan Increases Acct
dent Hazard

The Minnesota Highway depart
ment every fall receives number
of requests for the closing of
streets which are part of trunk
highway, to permit holding of
street fairs and other celebrations.
The department is making it a rule
not to grant any such requests.
In the first place the department
has no right to turn over a street
for use for any other than high
way purposes. Furthermore there
is a serious accident hazard in
routing traffic by roundabout
rote, over unfamiliar streets,
streets that often are not in the
best condition. Such routing also
causes serious Inconvenience to
all users of the state highways.
Nearly all municipalities have
side streets better adapted to cell
ebrations than the streets which
are designated as trunk highways.
Compelling road users to make a
detour over poor streets while a
celebration is in progress usually
causes resentment which in time is
detrimental to the town.

Should Get Full Protein
Value for Spring Wheat
Wheat Growers Coop. Marketing
Association Urges Careful
Handling of Crop

"Hard Spring Wheat has a
special value that farmers have not
been receiving their full share for
and it is up to the farmer to get
that special value" said R. T. Par.
ads, sales manager of the Mime.
sofa Wheat Growers Cooperative
Marketing Association.
"Wheat has two distinct values,
grade and protein. Grade is the
basic value, while protein covers
tie milling and premium value. The
Fprices of wheat prior to the last
four years, had been determined
on grade only. The grade, OF
course, was derived from the COM
|bination of test weight, moisture,
and foreign material contents, as ii
still is, but the actual sales value
is now based upon its milling quail
ity of protein content"
HWhile we produce more wheat
than any other nation, our exports
are not as great, in comparison to
total yield as those of Canada, Aus
tralia, and Argentina. And much
of our export wheat is distinctly
lower in bread-making values than
our Northwestern hard spring.
There is quite a margin between
top and bottom of any given grade.
AS a rule, the exporter "skims" his
wheat, so that it will just make con-
tract grade. And this so-called
contract wheat is that which sets
the basis prices on all our wheat,
that is sold here as well as that
sold abroad"
"The card price rests on the
delivery or contract basis, and the
average run of wheat of any given
grade is well above the card price
quality"
There's another reason why the
farmer ought to market carefully
this year. Hard spring wheat is
scarce, in spite of all talk of big
crops. The United States esti-
mates 100000 busLel short
age as against last year. And it
is the protein, or especially high
bread-making value, that gives
hard spring wheat position with
the miller no other wheat can oc-
cupy. The vast milling industry
Of the Northwest is built up on
this particular quality in hard
wheat"
"With the station card prices
now taking account of the premium
value of our high protein wheat,
it is up to the farmer to watch
his local market, and see if the
spread between Minneapolis and
his station reflects the protein val
ue. He ought to go a step farther,
send sample of his wheat to the

New Paper Currency Soon
to be Issued to be Smaller
Claimed 1t Will Make it Easier for
the Public to Get Right
Change

The new paper money which dis
patches from Washington state will
soon make its appearance through
out the country is being awaited
expectantly by everyone.
The new currency will be STAN
dardized in design and about two
thirds the size of the present cur
rency. This is in line with the
record of the treasury department
for efficiency and economy. The
new money will be economical be-
cause millions of dollars will be
saved annually in cost of material
and time will be saved in produc-
ton because IL bills can be printed
on one press at one impression
while only eight of the present bills
can be so printed.
Standardizing the designs will
also be big help to the public in
counting and watching its money.
! For instance-there are now five
different kinds Of ten dollars bills.
Under the new system of currency
there will be but one kind and it
will be easily distinguished. The
one dollar bill will have a design
entirely different from the designs
of the higher denominations, and
will be recognizable at a glance.
This is especially sensible in view
of the fact that it will then be i'm
possible for a counterfeiter to
raise a one dollar bill to a ten or
a bill of a hundred dollar denomi-
nation. The one dollar design will
be recognized at once. The one
dollar bill will carry George
Washington's face and the 500
bill will have Franklin's photograph
on the front, with an entirely diff
ferent design from the one dollar
bill on the back. Each of the 10
different denominations to be print
ed will have the face of different
patriot on the front and a separate
and easily distinguished design on
the back.
1t is interesting to note that the
present change in our currency is
the first Of any Importance in more
than sixty years. From time to
time proposals have been made to
change the size and designs of our
bills, but these have always met
with failure. The present plan was
adopted after a great deal of study
and consideration by the treasury
experts and is believed to be the
last word in efficiency and econ
omy. In addition to other advant-
ages the smaller size of the bills
will enable the fellow who has
money to get along with smaller
and less cumbersome purse.
The change will mark the pass
ing of the yellowIback bill as the
new issues will all be green backs.
And as soon as you learn which
picture appears on the different de-
nominations of bills it will be al
most impossible to shortchange you
unless you are half asleep.
The new bills will reach the pub
lie gradually, and will be paid out
as the old bills are taken in. The
old bills viii then be destroyed.

WRONG MAN HELD
IN CITY FOR MURDER
Thought to Have Been Con.
nected With Death of Fra
zee Village Marshal
TAKEN TO CRIME SCENE
Survey By Eye Witnesses
Prove His InnOcence-Was
Taking Vacation

Considerable excitement was
caused in Sank Centre Monday
shortly after noon when word
spread about the city that a young
man suspected of being connected
with the murder of Village Mar
shall Henderson, of Frazee, August
23, had been apprehended and
lodged in Jail in this city by Chief
of Police Joseph Miller and Deputy
Sheriff Ed Steege.
The chief of police of Hutchin-
son came in contact with the young
man at Wadena Monday morning
and promised to carry him to Sank
Centre. The young man was a To-
quacious cuss and before they had
travelled far he impressed upon the
Hutchinson officer that he was a
hard boiled guy.
A close study Of his companion
convinced the Hutchinson chief
that this fellow closely answered
the description of one of the des-
peradoes who killed the Frazee
marshal shortly before midnight
August %. The latter attempted
to arrest them single handed
in restaurant on the charge of
having robbed an oil station in
Detroit Lakes a couple of hours
before of sum slightly over $32.
When the Hutchinson man
reached BrowerWlle he made an
excuse to get away from his COM
panion for a short time and made
arrangements for the BrowerNille
marshal to telephone the chief of
police at Sank Centre. They were
to eat lunch at the Candy kitchen.
The arrest was made just as they
We're leaving the Candy Kitchen
upon the fictitious charge of auto
mobile stealing. The young man
was lodged in Jail down stairs and
was told that his companion was
in a cell on the second floor.
1t appears that the prisoner told
the Hutchinson man that he had
left Minneapolis about three weeks
ago. To the Sank Centre officers
he said that he left Minneapolis
shortly after nine o'clock Saturday
morning, Sept. 1. A few breaths
later he said that he had been in
Detroit Lakes about noon Satur-

Butter Continues to Show
Slight Upward Tendency
Strong Demand for Eggs, Prices
Advancing-POultry Market
Not So Good

The supply of butter being re-
ceived this week on the larger east
ern consuming markets is not ex-
cessive and has shown the effects
of lighter production of butter in
the producing territories. Trading
demand has been satisfactory and
with evidence of soundness on the
part of larger buyers. The Chi
cago and New York butter markets
have held steady and have shown
some slight advance.
Chicago butter market on 80
score standards is quoted today at
46 IA cents, an advance since
Monday of half a cent. During the
same period, New York market on
80 score extras has advanced one
cent.
Egg production is holding up
well for this season of the year,
in fact, receipts on the four larger
eastern markets, Chicago, New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, are
heavier from Monday to Wednes-
day, this week than year ago. The
supply of fresh eggs has yet been
excessive, especially on high quail
ity eggs for which a good demand
has been existing with the result
that quotations have been advanc-
ing. However, there is evidence
of some reluctance on the part of
buyers in taking hold of fresh eggs
at present quotations.
Chicago egg market on first is
now 80 to 33k cents, New York
market on firsts is quoted at BIZ
to 33A cents. 1t will be noted that
Chicago market is above a parity
with New York market, freight con-
sidered.
Live poultry markets this week
have shown decidedly easier ten
dency, this. being particularly true
in New York. The receipts of
live poultry, both fowl and springs,
are heavier compared with actual
needs for current consumption.
In New York, trading has been
slow and market has worked sharp
~ lower. General selling prices on
heavy fancy fowls, including prem
iums, is averaging around 20 cents,
medium weights selling two cents
under the top, and leghorns being
cleaned up as low as % cents. Com
paratively heavy portion of receipts
is now running to broilers. The
selling situation has not been en-
tirely satisfactory and large heavy
weight fancy quality broilers have
been selling around 81 cents, and
leghorns and medium weights at
81 to 20 cents.-Produce Review,
