Cox’s only hope ‘is that Nonpartisan league leaders will work an under- ground movement for him. Though the league-controlled Republican com mittee gave Harding a lukewarm en- dorsement, league papers have not hesitated: to give Cox undue promi- nence and cast slurs at Harding. This has been particularly true in the Courier-News, William Lemke’s per- sonal_organ. Eugene V. Debs is expected -to poll 8,000 to 10,000 votes in the state.

The court arrived at this conclusion late yesterday after consideration of a netition filed the day before by Wil- liam Lemke, as special assistant At- torney-General. The court will take up questions at che hearing which were not dealt with in the previous injunction grant- od against the first railroad commis- sion order increasing rates.

WHEAT PRICES DROP SHARPLY” ON EXCHANGE |General Agitation for Cut in Food Prices Held Responsible For Weakness Chicago, Sept. 24——Big breaks in the price of wheat took place today, largely as a result of agitation for a | general cut ‘in food costs. The smash of values in wheat amounted to as | much as 12 3-4 cents a bushel, and the market closed in a semi-demoral lized condition. December delivery 2t to $2.27 and March at $2.15 to $2.20. Heretofore wheat has been advanc ing despite the setbacks in the price jof other grains. The chief reason ascribed for such strength was huge les of wheat for export to [urope. Today, however, the stimulus of ex- port business appeared to have lost its influence and especially near the ond of the day the wheat market wildly downward. In sympathy with the weakness of wheat other grains also gave way | lowest price levels yet for the 1920 crop. ——————~— 2 st.

The postoffice, barometer of trade, shows business in Bismarck is mov- ing steadily forward. narck postoffice is certain to be tnced one rate in rating this year by the postoffice department und the business is so flourishing that. it may advance two grades. One of the features of the increased business, which may not appeal to a lot of patrons, however, is the in- crease in box rents, effective Oct. 1. Box rents for ious postoffices are fixed by postal regulars made in Washington, and are based on the re- ceipts of the various postoffices. Last year the business of the Bismarck vostoffice warranted the increase in box rents, but this was. held* off by the department until Bismarck Office} * ently notice! tt made a gr for New Ship (By Staff Correspondent) , McClusky, N. D., Sept. 24~-Ideal roads for most of the way, good crowds at every stop and a hearty welcome on all hands through a territory blessed with good crops, the third booster trade tour of the Bismarck Commer- 1 club and the Town Criers arrived jat McClusky shortly after six o'clock last evening, where the Elks’ band put on a dance that will long be re- membered. Running into a slight rain after leaving Denhoff, the 21 's moved into the attractive county seat of Sheridan without difficulty and with- out having to resort to chains. The only disappointment of the tour wa the failure of the airplane to get farther than Wilton Bucking 2 strong wind the plane made an ele- gant flight to Wilton. At Baldwin it swooped down over the heads of the people and the various stunts were heartily applauded. Then darting away toward Wilton it met with the cident that ended the feature of the trip. J.C. Anderson, P. R. Fields, At Rosen, Phil. Meyers and other leaders of the trip got in touch with Minot and it was hoped that a plane can be secured so that the trade booster can have that attraction with them for the ilast half of the trip. | Leaving Wilton after a fine lunch i prepared by the Washburn Lignite ! Coal company the party drove to the lignite mine which is now delivering to the tipple 1200 tons daily.

As Bismarck was right at the limit of this class, it is quite probable that the total receipts wer slightly above those of Grand For Minot is two grades behind. “We would have advanced last year,” said Postmaster Lundquis “but our rating was out by a deduc tion of 17 per cent on account of the war-time business. A comparison of quarterly receipts shows the rapid increase in the local office business. For July, August and September, 1918, the receipts were $26,204.33; for the same period in 1919 they were $31,307.59. For October, November and December, 1918, the re- ceipts were $25,080.76; for the same period in 1919 the receipts amounted to $36,648.98. 7 Big Jump in 1920, the first three months of the present year, the receipts w $40,086. as compared with $! 140.86 during the same period a year before. In April, May and June of this year the receipts dropped off to $32,5 from the receipts of $36,- 012.78, but this is attributed to the difference in two and three cent post- age. Receipts now are mounting. For the fiscal year ending last June 30 they were $140,461.72 ss compared to $124,348.73 for the year before.
