Alberta Farmers Are
Holding Their Grain

Calgary, Alta, Sept. 16-lP,-The
Alberta wheat pool Thursday an
nOunced dissatisfied Alberta farmers
are holding their wheat off the mar
ket. selling only when money is re-
CURED to pay debts.
Farmers are seeking better prices
for their products.
1t was declared by the pool this
move was not in the nature OF a strike
but was started by the farmers in an
effort to obtain what they consider a
fair price for their product. At pres
ent they receive an average price of
- cents per bushel, number one
northern.
Alberta's wheat crop this year is
expected to be around $4,000, 900
bushels. The farmers will be unable
to hold any great amount OF this be-
cause Of insufficient storage facilities
There is a general movement over
the whole province. however, to use
all possible storage space for holding
wheat until a rise In price. The
wheat is being sold only when the
farmer requires money to cover ex-
penditures. In some sections it is
feared congestion Of storage facilities
may result because of the holding
step.

n. D. WOMEN VETS
ASK STATEMENTS
FROM CANDIDATES
Demand Expressions on Dry
Law From Congressional
Aspirants

Bowman, N. D., Sept. 16.-(P,-
North Dakota candidates for the
, United States senate and house OF
representatives are being asked by
the womens organization for national
prohibition reform to state their stand
| on the prohibition question.
Mrs. Ruth Phelan Stewart Bowman
state chairman of the organization
has put the following question to the
candidates:
III elected, will you support reso-
luton for the straight repeal Of the
18th amendment and the restoration
to each state Of its power to regulate
the manufacture, sale and transpor-
tation of intoxicating beverages with
IN its own limits, such resolution to be
submitted to conventions in the sew
eral states for ratification or reiec-
tion."
What difference, if any. will it
make In your vote if North Dakota
repeals its dry law this fall?"
One OF the candidates, r. B. Muir
ply, Bismarck, Democratic nominee
for congressman, already has replied,
answering the first question in the
affirmative.
my only reservation on this ques-
ton is that I would favor federal leg
islation to protect states preferring to
remain in the dry column from the
importation of liquor from other parts
of the United States" Murphy said.
Referring to the proposed initiated
measure to repeal North Dakota's dry
law, Murphy said that If repeal is
voted it would be to me only addi-
tional proof that the people of my
state are overwhelmingly against the
18th amendment.
Il believe it will take more courage,
on account of the traditional rever-
ence which the average voter is apt
to have for the states original pro-
hibitory law written into our consti-
tuition. to vote for the absolute wip-
ing out Of every vestige of state law
on the matter than it will to simply
vote to repeal the 18th amendment.
am sorry that this second is raised,
because it strikes me that it gives
loop-hole for candidates to crawl
through by promising to follow the
people! We have had too much of
that kind of buck-passing in the past.
Il am against the 18th amendment
because it has failed to do what was
expected of it, viz, to prohibit the
use of liquor as beverage, and worse
than that, reliance upon it has set
back the cause of scientific instruc-
ton in temperance among our young
people to an alarming extent. I firm
ly believe that the prevention of the
use Of liquor as a beverage can be
done in one way only, and that is
through education of the young along
sane and scientific lines. While this
is slow process, it is nevertheless
sure and steady.
I'm taking this stand am follow
ing the Democratic national platform
and our candidates for president and
vice president
