WHEAT ADVANCES AS
SELLING PRESSURE
DROPS AT CHICAGO
Reactions From Top Prices
Ascribed to Unloading BY
Federal Agencies

Chicago, Feb. 15.-(F-Influenced
largely by strength of stocks and by
lack of selling pressure, wheat adj
vanced to substantial extent We'd
nesday and held much Of the gains.
Later, increased selling, ascribed to
government : sponsored al ncies,
brought about reactions from the
days top prices. Exporters were rep
resented as buying futures at Winni-
peg.
Wheat closed unsettled, Nv above
Tuesdays finish, May 47%-1a, July
48-48A: corn a shade to Y up, May
25ss-1a: July 271s-A; oats M adj
vanced, and provisions unchanged to
5 cents off.
Unusual scantiness Of speculative
offerings characterized wheat trade
until prices rose IL cents q bushel.
Relative firmness of Liverpool quota
tons attracted notice and there was
a less uneasy feeling evident in regard
to the Michigan bank situation. The
government weekly crop report was
generally considered bullish.
Gables from India told Of urgent
need of rain and said wheat yields
In the central provinces were expect
ed to prove subnormal. Another
stimulating factor was word from Liv-
erpool Of renewed buying for China.
An opposite influence was announce
ment that the official report on do
nestle farm stocks of grain had been
postponed and would hereafter be
issued on April / instead of March /.
This change, however, does not affect
private reports, which are expected to
make bullish exhibit. Corn and oats
borrowed strength from wheat.
Provisions were easy, responsive to
downturnS of hog values.

BAPTIST PASTORS
URGED TO RAISE
FARMERS MORALE
County Agent Tells Ministers
Discouraged Agrarians
Are in Need Of Help

An appeal to Baptist ministers in
their annual state conference here to
help raise the morale of the farm
people Of North Dakota was voiced by
H. o. Putnam, Burleigh county agri-
cultural agent, Tuesday at a dinner
meeting.
He said that ministers have q rare
opportunity in these times to encour-
age people and to make practical sug-
geStions to those who are becoming
discouraged.
Improvement of home surroundings
by planting OF trees and flowers would
be q great help to many farmers, he
said. The farmer should be encour-
aged to use the opportunities he has
for self-reliance, such as planting of
good gardens and keeping chickens.
Putnam also urged the pastors to
encourage All club work among chill
dren in their districts.
Tuesday afternoon speakers were
DR.. William Kuhn of Chicago and
Rev. A. G.. Darrow, of Burma.
Kuhn said "there is q constant
tendency to degenerate in the Christ
ian church" He said some Of the
things that seem to us to be thorns
in the flesh are just for the purpose
of cleansing U.s."
Speaking on "Rethinking Missions
with Abiding Principles" Rev. OAR
row called attention of the confer
ence to the basic thought of Jesus
regarding the man who probably is
hn<fnvs Hy1nxRySN frAoSy SSff1n kfNvn
man."
There are three basic thoughts, he
said, Human life Is sacred, we are
bound together In one brotherhood
in this world and it Is the business of
the strong to help the weak"
Times call for the church to see
the opportunity Of this day." DR.. John
Killian of Philadelphia said. people
are hungry for the Savior the church
offers" He called upon churches to
ask themselves some questions about
their resources and opportunities. rec
ommending careful planning. study of
resources on hand. and then prayer
for additional help as the secret Of
effective work in this age"
The conference adopted for its slo-
gan next month March to Church in
March," Thousands of Baptist
churches will conduct an attendance
campaign next month.
A contest in which churches will
compete on the basis of the percent
ages of resident members present at
morning services of worship has been
organized.
The North Dakota churches were
divided into groups of four for the
competition. Teaming with the First
Baptist church Of Bismarck, Of which
Rev. E. L. jackson is pastor. will be
the First Baptist churches Of Minot,
Fargo and Grand Forks.
The Baptist canvass for pledges will
be conducted throughout the country
the week Of March II to 10. DR.. Fred

BALANCED BUDGETS

Business men from every part Of the state have
joined in protest against the sales tax, or any new
tax, for that matter.
The objection to the sales tax is fundamental.
Many merchants see bankruptcy result They
claim that they can not pass the tax to the con-
sumer. If they did, it would mean less business and
more hardships for the wage earners of the state
whose pay envelopes have shrunk and who find it
difficult to live.
Aside from this the machinery for the collection
of such tax is likely to be so cumbersome as to add
cost of government, rather than reduce it.
The fairest tax, Of course, is an income tax, but
unfortunately the incomes of the rich and better
protected have fallen so low to make this source
Of revenue unattractive to those who want to raise
money for government.
1t is quite agreed that taxes must be lifted from
real estate For real estate whether it be farm or
sky scraper can no longer afford to carry the cost
of government
No matter in what direction the official mind may
turn it will discover that raising money for govern
ment in these days is a difficult matter Many be-
lieve that plan will raise enough to support the
regular institution and services at the present levels
and standards.
The business men have offered some timely sug-
gestions to places where expenses can be re-
duced They would transfer the funds from the
highway to the general funds and suggest two-year
moratorium on road building The state can prob
ably get along without more roads much better than
1t can get along without schools or policemen pris-
ons or asylums.
The one other way is to cut expenses This
obviously, can only be done by cutting out numbers
OF employees and cutting the wages Of the rest.
The vast number of applicants for state Jobs
suggests most strongly that these positions are much
more attractive than the hope of a job in private
business or industry If that be true reductions in
wages is rot hardship Men today are asking for
MINOR jobs who would have scorned the suggestion
OF getting on a public pay roll two years ago.
The way to balance a budget is to cut to the
bone Some salaries of higher officials can be slasbed
without lowering the standards of available men for
them.
Whatever happens, the sales tax should be de-
feaed. That means disaster

JUDGES AND POLITICS

The bar association of this city has new plan
to take the courts out Of poltics-and out of the
control of the people.
The lawyers are quite correct i'll condemning the
present system of selecting judges by forcing CAN
dldates to run in regular elections on partisan
tickets To some extent, every candidate must be-
come politician. Some of the judges remain poll
ticians after election
The suggestion is now made that the lawyers
alone vote for judges and that the Governor make
the appointments, dividing the judges equally be-
tween the two old parties.
