STATE BUREAU FOR FARMERS , BEING FORMED Representatives of 21 North ,. Dakota Counties Are Meet- ing Today \ PLAN IS OUTLINED Fargo, N.\D., Nov. 10.—Represen- »+ tatives’ of 21 North Dakota ‘counties met at the North Bakota Agricultural colle to/ organize a North Dakot: Federation of Farm bureaus. Each of the 16 county, farm, bu- _Teaus in the state sent delegates and five other delegates attended , fron other counties in which.farm’burgaus are in the’ process of formation. » C. W. Gunnells, of Chicago, assist- » ant secretary of the American Farm Bureau federation, outlined the poli- cies -of that organization at the meet- ing this mornng. Dr. E. F. Ladd, president of the agricujtural college, said in welcom- ing the delegates: “I do not believe it is the intentior ,. of the farmers to hold up the Amer- ican people. They havea right \ say however, ‘my wheat cost me s much to produce. _{ will consider s. much a fair price and will sell it foi that price.’” SELLING ORGANIZATION Boston, Nay. 10.—The establishment of nation-wide selling ~prganizations which shall fix the price of farm pro- «ducts if the farmer does not receiv. “the same pay for the game hours of work as others receive,” was predict ed today by Sherman Lowell, of Fre donia, New York, master of the Na tional Grange of the Patrons of Hus bandry, in opening the national con vention of the grange. “We are willing to have a fair un derstanding of values, the farmers re ceiving the same pay for the samc hours of work as others receive—n , more, no less, but we feel that this is the last call,” he said. “If no at tention is paid to this now by bank ers, manufacturers, railroad and la~ bor organizations and if the govern- ment continues to use its great pow- er+to import raw-material free o duty to reduce costs, then the gransé will be the first to help organize na- ‘tion-wide selling organizations to gn trol the price of farm products. “There is no threat to this-—we . will have been driven to self-defense to preserve ourselvee.” WILLISTON AUTO - CO.

R.—Probably the only place under the American flag where prohibition is not now in force is in the Virgin islands where, until con- gress enacts new laws, the old Danish; taws remain in force. The colonial council of St. Croix has jyst passed a bill repealing former local legislation ‘for that island which | provided for local prohibition until a specified period after the ending of the war. Similar legislation is pending in thé | colonial council for the islands of St.j Thomas and St.John, The treaty of sale by which the is- | lands were transferred from Denmark | to the United States provided that laws in foree at the time of the trans- fer should remain in full force and effect until congress enacted special legislation forAhe islands. This has} not yet been done. { In the meantime the Constitution of the United States, in all of {its pro- visions, is not applicable to thej islands and the eighteenth amendment has no meaning there. a war measure the colonial coun- cils, the local lawmaking bodies, passed prohibition acts to be epforced during the war, As a fesult St. Thom- as, where champagne sold for $1 a bot- tle and other liquors were equally in- expensive, and the two other islands gradually became dry. Merchants in St. Thomas whose business is largely that of supplying ships stores have contended that pro- hibition was one of their gteatest han- dicaps, while the sugar makers of St. Croix were depsiyed of a lucrative trade in an finportant by-product of Sugar when they were forced to cease making rum. With war prohibition removed by local legislation, rum mak- ing has already been resumed. Indirectly, however,-the Virgin is: lands are feeling the force of the Unit- ed States prohibition laws. © Prohibition Director Donaldson has refused to permit the shipment of al- cohol to St. Thomas from here to be used in the manufacture of bay rum unless manufacturers bind themselves to denature their product so ‘that ft ean not be used for beverage purposes, The manufacture of bay rum is one of the chief industries of St. Thomas and St. John.
