Mr. Shorthill, as a mem- ber of the federal ‘price-fixing com- mittee, has spent the last year at the capital, and he is thoroughly famil- jar with his subject. He has headed many of the most important lobbies of recent years, and has been instru- uental in procuring justice for the farmer in many of the struggles which - havé been waged through the national | council. He is secretary of the Nebras- ka Farintrs’ Elevator Companies’ as- Sociation; and is in touch with the or-| ganized farmers’ state as well as in-; terstdte problems.
