Dollar Wheat Is Drive
Urged by Chicago Expert
n. j. Blum Says 1t Should Be Easy
Matter to Lift Price to
Suggested Level

Chicago, Feb. 15-Herbert j.
Blum, a leading member of the
Chicago board of trade whose op-
erations in the corn market several
years ago attracted world wide at
tention, said Monday it should be
an easy matter to lift wheat to a
dollar a bushel.
ITO meet the economic crisis eff.
fectively," said Blum, 1--WE need the
help Of the government and it's
agencies, and I have reason to be-
lieve we will receive full co-opera-
ton from them for constructive op-
erations in wheat. I do not believe
in this hour of need obstacles in
the way of advancing the price Of
grain to be a just one.
Everything done by the present
administration and congress will
convince any reasonable person be-
yond a doubt that $100, ,000. 900 worth
of government wheat, or 175,O00,O
bushels, will not stand in tn way
of advancing the price of grain to a
just one.
Everything done by the present
administration and congress will
convince any reasonable person be-
yond a doubt that 500, 200, 900 worth
of government wheat, or 175,000, 900
bushels, will not stand in the way
of lifting a commodity on which
the stability of nations and even
civilization depends. To my way OF
thinking, no better way can be
found back on the road to prosper
ity than by putting 100000 peo-
pie in a position to buy the pro-
ducts of our own industries, and
make the drive to increase employ
ment a huge success.
president Hoover in his Lincoln
day address said of the present eco
nomic crisis: There Is required the
unity of strength and the sense OF
devotion as in war; He also talked
of the fight upon a hundred fronts.
Today the opening guns have been
fired on the 100 fronts by leaders
in all industries in the drive for en-
ployment Of men and women.

Treasurer, and Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioner will be
endorsed by the Conferences.
A state platform, clearly outlin-
ing the Republican Party's stand
on the important issues before the
voters of Minnesota, will also be
drafted at the Conference. Since
the adoption of the primary law
and the establishment of the leg
islature on a non-partisan basis, it
has been impossible to furnish the
voters with a concrete statement
of Party principles for which the
elected officers of the Party are
responsible. 1t is hoped that the
conference will overcome this diff
ficulty and that the Republican
candidates this year will be able
to present a representative plat
form drafted by delegates from all
parts of the state.
Headquarters have been opened
by the Republican State Central
Committee in the Ryan Hotel, St.
Paul, with Sam S. Haislet, Mime
apolis, Secretary of the committee,
in charge.

Proposal to Take
Over Local Mil;
CONTINUED From Page OneJ

had proven that practically 80 per
cent of the business was exchange
or toll" business. The gentleman
was connected with the Pillsbury
mills for many years and is said to
be an expert at manufacturing
-four.
It was brought out that the merg-
er of the larger mills with the In
creased overheads and the intro
duction of water into their stocks
had made their dividend paying a
serious problem. Both gentlemen
agreed that the time was propitious
for the taking over of the Sauk
Centre property and make 1t a go
ing business.
The gentlemen answered many
questions propounded to them In
a frank manner apparently making
an endeavor to answer them clear
ly and honestly.
At the conclusion of the discus
sion President Fischer stated that,
of course, the directors of the Com
munity Club could not take any ac-
ton on the proposition. The ques-
ton of whether or not stock was
purchased by Sauk Centre people
was one for each individual to de-
eide for himself.
The new enterprise committe OF
the Club was authorized to go into
the matter by investigating the
gentlemen closely from every pos
sible angle, find out how other ex-
change mills are faring and secure
any other information possible and
report to the Club as a whole at
the earliest convenience.

s15 MORE MILES FROM BUS

The average automobile and
truck in Minnesota travelled 615
miles farther in 1881 than in 1880,
estimating by the gasoline consum-
ed in the state, says highway bull
letin.
Omitting trailers and motorcycles
there were 733O12 motor vehicles
registered in the state in 1880 and
7120,040 in 1881. In-shipments of
gasoline( less gasoline used for ag-
ricultural and industrial purposes
on which the tax was refunded,
were 345, ,303, 700 gallons in 1880 and
369 014,00 gallons in 1881.
This makes an average of All
gallons per vehicle in 1880 and 512
gallons in 1881. If the average We
hicle travelled Is miles per gallon,
this meant 7.O65 miles per vehicle in
1880 and 1850 miles per vehicle in
1881.
Road toll, in the form af gas and
license taxes, was on the same basis
rate both years. Due to greater
travel the average gas tax per car
increased slightly but cuts in car
prices brought down the average
license tax, so that the net in
crease per car was about go cents.
For this go cents the car owner got
an extra 615 miles of road use, and
he had better roads than ever be-
fore.

ARE VA

Tother day a feller seq:
whats the use of worryin'
about things that have happen
ed today and yesterday. There's
tomorrow comm, let's think
about that" That's a lot a good
horse sense. Better days are al
ways ahead, and we all know it
that is providin' we work for
them. And KNOWN that, 1t
should give us courage to go
on with the oil fight. That's why
we hold on to ourselves when
some wise guy tells us that our
old country and our homes are
going to the hot place. va
know that kinda stuff is just a
lot pure unadulterated ferti-
lizer. We got hold together
and keep on pushin' and things
will be better. What was it
some guy sez about United we
stand, divided we fall" well
that holds good today by jinks.
But then who can say it better
than that Guest feller, who
writes poems, when he sez: "Oh
let us hold together through
these days of stormy weather.
Let us make jest of hardship
and a quip of carking care.
Let's build bonfires of our
crosses and high memories of
our losses and press forward to
tomorrow with our heads up in
the air." Now amt that the
truth. Keep the OF head up or
sumpin' might drop on it. Let's
live today and look forward for
better things and If we hold to-
gether we'n get 'em quicker.
Here's hopin' va get sumpin'
anyway. Are va listenin'?

that there were present at that
meeting only the secretary Of state,
state auditor and attorney general,
and in the absence Of the governor
Secretary of State Holm was made
chairman of the meeting.
"You and Mr.. Ruggles, state
entomologist, appeared before the
board and made a report Of the
grasshoppers infesting certain dis
tricts in northwestern Minnesota
and on your recommendation the
three gentlemen, constituting a
majority of the board. adopted a
resolution appropriating $1,000 for
immediate use in the emergency,
and certificate of indebtedness for
that amount was at once author
ized."
Mr.. Schmahl says that another
$4,000 was granted at a meeting
July 81, at which Governor Olson
was present, along with the trea-
surer, auditor and attorney gen.
eral.
Another $16,500 was allowed at a

governor was not present. The
other three officials voted the aid.
Emergency appropriations" said
Mr.. Schmahl to the commissioner,
"of the character such as asked by
you and Mr.. Ruggles, can only be
made by majority of five MEM
bers of the executive council, of
which the governor is a member
and has one vote. This being the
fact, and further that you were
present at the meeting of July 3,
and were acquainted with that
membership, induces me to suggest
70 you that in fairness to the gov
ernor and his associate members
of the executive council. you, as an
officer of the state, adhere more
closely to the facts when sending
out information pertaining to the
acts of the executive council"

SPEED COMES HIGH

An Associated Press dispatch
says that the Investigators are con-
vinced that a mile-a-minute clip Is
from three to four times more ex-
pensive than when your speedo-
meter says 40 to A. After checks
made Of various speeds, they came
to the following conclusions:
Oil consumption at 55 miles an
hour Is seven times greater than it
is at 80. .-.-
Tire wear at so is twice as much
as at 40
Gasoline consumption at IS is
one-fourth more than at 30
No estimate is made of the in
creased wear and tear on the car

in much more permanent good
than came from the series of tax
stampedes held during the past few
months, when county levies were
being drawn, the Farm Bureau Of

by holding public spending to the
minimum consistent with good gov

that the teams were very evenly
matched with the one being "hot"
having the advantage. !.
The first half was as fast and as
pretty basketball game as was
ever played on the Sauk Centre
floor.
Within a half minute after the
first whistle Pat Dubois dribbled
through the field to score a hard
field goal. Iwinski was fouled a
moment later by Guard Kahl and
made good. Hareid scored fine
field goal for the visitors. Butch"
electrified the crowd a moment lat
er by shooting sparkling field goal
to bring the locals total up to five.
Capt. Allan fouled Hamilton. "Ham"
failed to connect Sauk Centre was
playing beautiful passing game.
The quarter ended Sauk Centre
five, Alex, three.
With the opening of the second
quarter Harried threw a scare in
to the home crowd by scoring two
field goals in rapid succession.
Iwinski shot another beauty thru
the hoop. DuBois scored a point
after being fouled by Malm who
had taken Kahl's place at guard.
Kinsella fouled, Mureid and he
scored on a free throw. Center
Kager scored a field goal. Score
now Alex nine Sauk Centre eight.
Sauk Centre takes time out. Twin
ski made one and missed one on a
two shot foul by Malm. This tied
the score. Iwinski fouled Malm. He
missed. Kager scored a pot shot
from under the basket. On beau
tiful pass from Iwinski to Dubois
to Capt. Kinsella Dean scored a
thriller from the center of the field.
Butch" put Sauk Center in the
lead just before the half ended
with another angled long range
shot. Half ended Sauk Centre 13,
Alex IL.
The teams started the third
quarter with the original line-ups.
Butch" and Kinsella scored field
goals in short order making the
score Sank Centre II, Alex IL. 1t
looked all over but the shouting.
But, wait minute. Hareid caught
a ball from the tip off and scored
a peach of a field goal; Harris
scored one; pass Malm to Kager
resulted in another. Kinsella was
injured and Domke replaced him at
guard. Harris and Kager scored
to put Alex out in front. Hamilton
fouled Allen. He made good. Every
ball the visitors were throwing
toward the hoop was good. Twin
ski fouled Allan; he connected;
Allen scores field goal; Allen fouled
Ham" He made both good. Du-
Bois connected for beautiful field
goal. Sieben fouled Harris. He
scored one point. Just before the
final whistle Malm scored on pot
shot on a pass from Kager. Final
score Alex 27, Sauk Centre d
Ham," usually dependable for
ward, and one of the high scorers
for the district, was completely bot
tied up Friday evening. This dis
concerted him and he looked bad
handling the ball. He eventually
delivered two free throws.
Every field goal made by Sauk
Centre was a hard shot from long
range and a hard angle.
Sauk Centres defense completely
cracked in the final quarter. How
ever, this is not an alibi. AS the
teams played Friday evening the
hest team won. In another meet
ing the score would very likely be
reversed. But that is basketball.
The visitors. showed fine spirit
of craftsmanship. The following is

REVISION OF LAWS
IN INDUSTRY ASKED
Thousands of Small Tradesmen Are
Menaced, Says Lamneck in Urg-
ing U. S. Action on Trusts.

By the Associated Press.
Revision of laws affecting industry
was urged yesterday by Representative
Lamneck, Democrat, Of Ohio, on the
ground that under the present system
thousands of small business men are
being eliminated every year.
Testifying before Senate Judiciary
subcommittee, the Ohioan advocated
enactment of measures by Senator Nye,
Republican. North Dakota, to make
trade practice rules adopted by ar in
duStry legally binding, establish a Fed
eral trade court with jurisdiction over
antitrust cases and to prohibit price
determinations and selling below cost.
Open hearings on the proposals
Senator Nye explained they were
prompted largely by an appreciation
of the dangers besetting the independ-
ent business man" He said he hoped
they would stop the inroads of
monopoly"
The legislation was indorsed also by
Senator Capper, Republican, of Kansas,
who appeared at the request of the
Kansas Grocers' League.
There is a very strong feeling
throughout our part of the country,
said Senator Capper, that the small
Independent merchant Is in a critical
condition and needs the attention and
consideration Of those at Washington" "
