nouncement of plans for utility plant
expansion in the Middle West. Other
businesses proposed enlargement of
their facilities and one freight car
maker reopened a factory in Mary

Consumption of copper was heavy

of whom paid a small premium for
the metal in the outside market.
Export demand was good.
The election day holiday in many
States gave flip to retail trade,

season and broadened its improve
ment over last year by from 10 to

Big Acreage Likely

CHICAGO, Nov. l1.-War time
plans of the world legion Of wheat
farmers today called for mainten-
ance of the present large surplus
balance of the bread grain at least
through 1910.
Goaded by outbreak Of hostilities
in Europe, producers hoped to har-
vest large crops to feed armies, and
In most wheat-producing regions,
except the United States Southwest,
crop prospects were fair to good.

foods are being conserved and farm
ers are urged to cultivate roadsides
and mountain slopes. Increased
acreage planted to wheat in neutral
countries in Europe and in the

paintings near battle zones.
Supply Far Above 1914.
The world supply of wheat has
been estimated at 5,40O 900 900
bushels, or more than half again as
large as stocks in 1914. Annual
world consumption of about 4,OOO,-
10000 bushels was only about
third larger than in 1914.
Within month or so new South
ern Hemisphere wheat will be
coming to market. Although earlier
IN the season Argentine crop pros
poets were bright, too, much rain,
contrasting with too little in the
American wheat belt, has caused
deterioration and some recent esti-
mates indicated the crop might be
as small as 200 900 900 bushels, COM
pared with 1886, 1000 900 last season
and S4,049,000 in 1887. However,
At the end of the year there may be
a carryover of slightly less than TO-
100000 bushels from the previous
crop.
AuStralia's harvest may total more
than 175,000.0O0 bushels, of which
100000 bushels or more would
be available for export. This would
compare with production of 145.-
O0o,OOO bushels the last season.
Canadian Stocks Large.
Canada is stocked with an un-
usually large supply as result of
the second biggest crop on record
estimated at 478,000O bushels and
a carryover of nearly 100000, 900
bushels. Total world import require
ments for the season have been
estimated at $4,000 900 bushels,
which Canada alone could come near
satisfying.
Aggravation of the domestic win
ter wheat belt drought the last week
was offset, as far as prices were
concerned, by rains in some districts

lower to p higher compared with

only contract to show a net gain.
Traders said this reflected the fact
that cash wheat was quoted at
premiums over futures, with so much

DIR. Charles MAYO

The world generally, medicine
tragically and Minnesota especially
lost a valuable asset when death
claimed 70 year-old DR.. Charles Mayo
of the famous Mayo brothers in
Rochester. Citizens over almost the
entire world owe their state of health
to DR.. Charles Mayo's and his broth
er's skill as physicians. He spent his
life in valuable upbuilding of the
medical art. His death is not only
felt by the community of Rochester
to whom of course he was real
asset, but to all of the country and
the world.
Such men as DR.. Mayo have raised
the average life expectancy of the
human race several years over the
past half century and the human race
likewise mourns him.

Doubling Up Garden Crops.

Companion and succession planting
should be practiced in order to get
the full return from the soil. Try out
only few combinations to see how
they work. In succession crops the
succession crop follows after the first
vegetable has been used and re-
moved. In companion planting they
are put in the ground at the same
time.
A few companion paintings are in
dictated herewith:
Radishes and parsley in mixture
in the same row. The reason, the
radish comes up quickly, natures
quickly, and is soon out of the way.
The parsley terminates very slowly
and the radishes have broken the soil
so the parsley can come through cas-
lily. The parsley will have plenty of
time for maturity when the radiSheS
are pulled and will be none too thick.
Radishes with early cabbage be-
tween the rows.
Radishes between rows of early
peas.
Parsnips or beets between rows of
spinach.
Here are some good SUGGESTIONS:
Early peas followed by turnips,
carrots, or beets.
Early beans followed by late cab
bage.
Spinach followed by sweet corn,
tomatoes, or beans.

troops are getting ready to leave the
blood-soaked soil of Spain, General
Frances military courts are melting
out death sentences to his former
enemies-the men who supported
what once was the legitimate govern
ment of Spain. Reports from Madrid
say that Franco has had 688 such
former enemies executed, and that
many more are facing the same harsh
extinction. ''Va victis!" it was said
in the ancient days of the victorious
Roman emperors, and it is still true:
'Woe to the conquered"
Ticklish Situation.
1t will be remembered that when
Hitler triumphantly rode into Prague,
he was followed by number of large
German motor trucks which carried
away all the gold found in the ma
tional bank of Czechoslovakia; he had
it simply carted away to Berlin where
it provided most welcome addition
to dwindling German gold reserves
But the Czechoslovakian government,
evidently sensing beforehand the
crisis that was coming, had deposited
about $3O,OOO,OOO in gold in the Bank
of London, and now Hitler has made
a demand for this supply. The ques-
ton came up in the British House OF
Commons the other day when Cham
berlain pleaded that he didn't know
anything about the transaction. But
at that very moment it was generally
known that the gold had already
although still in London-been ear
marked for the International Bank at
Basic, awaiting, as it was thought,
Hitler'S call. Mr.. Chamberlain was
rather squirmish about the proceeding
The didn't say no, and he didn't
say yes" But the general expecta-
ton is that Hitler ultimately will
get this gold as well as other Czecho-
slovak resources in England.
And in this connection the ticklish
question arose: Will the British gov
eminent recognize Czechoslovakia as
an integral part of Germany? That
same British government was pretty
evasive about it and indicated that
while it might accept the fact of
Czechoslovakia now being German
territory, it might not yet be pre-
pared to recognize Hitler as the pres
ent ruler of the former Czechoslo-
vakia. How to find the very thin line
between these two propositions is one
of the questions that cause British
headaches.

Matter referred to a committee! Ed

BETRAYERS OF TRUST
minnesota Union Advocate)


One by one former state employees
under indictment face the Ramsey
county district court to either enter
pleas of guilty as charged or to fail
in their efforts to convince the jury
of their innocence. And with each
confession of guilt or conviction the
opinion grows that the Farmer-Labor
administration was politically corrupt.
It is impossible to defend the acts
of those who have been convicted,
and the Union Advocate has no dis
position to do so. However, it is
rather unfair to impeach the honesty
of the Farmer-Labor party simply
because certain former state employees
failed to live up to the trust and re-
sponsibility imposed in them. The
Farmer-Labor party is suffering be-
cause of these violations of trust, and
the daily newspapers are taking full
advantage of the opportunity to stig-
Matte the entire liberal movement
with the corruption authored by in
dividuals.
1t is unfortunate that neither the
late Floyd B. Olson nor Governor
Benson saw fit to observe the week
by week warnings of the Union Ad-
vocate over period of years against
the all-party policy they had estab-
lished. In 1888 this column declared
that if this policy were not changed
the time would come when the liberal
movement would be repudiated by
the very ones who had pioneered in
its slow growth to power. Governor
Olson was warned repeatedly against
the betrayal of his party; he was told
in no uncertain terms that the party
would be judged by the acts of his
appointees, and that mongrelized
political party had neither pride of
ancestry nor hope of posterity.
Let it be remembered that in all
but one instance thus far the former
state employees who have either con-
fessed guilt or who have been found
guilty were all-party appointees of
the late Floyd B. Olson or of Gov
ernor Benson. These appointments
were made without regard to qualifi-
cations or understanding of Farmer
Labor principles. Their appointments
were merely liquidations of personal
obligations. They apparently had no
more interest in the future of the
Farmer-Labor party than they had
in their own futures. Nevertheless
the progressive movement in Mime
sofa is suffering today because the
leadership of the party was indiffer-
ent to the eternal fitness of things
to point that while qualified and
deserving Farmer-Laborites walked
the streets of despair-conniving
camp-followers, carpetbaggers and
political hitchhikers were placed in
positions of responsibility.
When the progressives again mar
shall their forces they will do well
to take a few political reckonings
before they delegate unlimited powers
to the very ones they lift out of OBJ
security to positions of trust. They
will do well to reserve to themselves
the right to discipline those who
aspire to leadership. If this had been
done in 1884 the scandals of 1888
would have been impossible.
