FIRE AT sALISBURY'S

Sunday evening about z o'clock
fire starting in the basement of
the salisbury farm home just north
of town caused considerable dam
age TO the woodwork in the base
ment and much damage to inter-
Tor decorations of the upper floors
by smoke. Due to the distance from
water mains only the chemical
engine could be used and this was
refilled several times using water
from the creek. The fire was com
fined to the basement where in
a number of places it had nearly
burned through the floors of the
rooms above.
Through a misunderstanding of
names the department went east
to the 'sY" and then upon ascer-
tanning the correct location rushed
to the scene of the fire. A large
number of people in automobiles
were out and greatly hampereo
the movements of the fire appara-
tus by blocking roads and causing
congestion of traffic at eros:
streets.

complied with the request of the
council, and returned after the

pleted to learn that the contract
had been awarded to the Peoples
Publishing Company and the Pro
ducers News.
Mr.. Olson, who does not know
any more about printing and print

that he could not comprehend hov

At the outset Mr.. Ferguson
termed disposal of surplus wheat
stock matter of outstanding i'm
pertance to the world, explaining
that the wheat growing industry
contained two essential problems,
that the wheat reach the custom
ers when required and that the
producer gets a reasonable price
for his product.
Glow prices" he said, shave a
tendency to correct themselves
acreage shrinks and business de-
cline shortens supplies and raises
prices.
"The result is dearer bread. Our
effort must be directed to help the
fathers get a fair wage and main
tain their families without over
charging their fellow. workers who
must buy bread"
FAULTY DISTRIBUTION
Ferguson said that the confer
ence should delve into the possible
better ways of bringing the Gus
toner and producer together. Ger
tain schools of economists, he said,
have argued that the present ov-
er production of wheat is merely
keeping step with natural increas-
es in world population and that
the present abnormal situation has
been brought about In part by
faulty distribution methods which
filed to bring the crop consumption
in an orderly way.
Ferguson suggested that if the
conference found it advisable it
should be prepared to suggest
ways of remedying this.
