Somebody is making money on wheat, otherwise grain dealers ‘would go out of business. It isn’t the farmer, so it | must be the grain dealer. That's fair enough, but’ why can’t the farmer also be a grain dealer? Alone he is helpless but join- ing with thousands of his neighbors he can HIRE experts to sell his wheat and get all the profits there are in it! Very simple! That is what members of the North Dakota Wheat Growers association have done! PROFITS GROWERS GET According to government figures the average margin of profit of country elevators in North and South Dakota for 1920-21 (deflation year at that) was 13,21 cents per bushel for wheat. Members of the association put their wheat through the eleva- tor at about 3 cents per bushel. That’s a net profit of over 10 cents ‘that will almost pay your thresh pill! E BS a 7 7 7 a 7 E Association members, through their sales agency at the term- inal, sell direct to millers and get all the premiums! The average premium on Dark Northern No. 1 received this. year is 14 cents per bushel; on all grades of Amber Durum, 114% cents per bushel. Farmers’ elevators cannot get those prem- iums for thelr members because when a car load is shipped . to the terimnal it must be sold on the day it arrives or go into demurrage. “The buyer holds the whip hand and buys at bar- gain prices. The grain dealer, in turn, sells to the miller and gets the premiums offered. The Wheat Growers associations have ample STORAGE. space in connection with the sales agencies at: the terminals. The wheat as it arrives is tested for gluten in association labora- tories to find the exact milling value of the grain. - If pfices are not right the wheat goes into storage. That’s different: This condition makes the prices right, for millers MUST, HAVE. the high grade North Dakota wheat, and pay fancy premiums for it! \ 3 ert z ARE YOU GETTING THESE PROFITS? , ARE YOU A MEMBER OF ‘THE: ASSOCIATION?

CHILD LABOR ADVOCATES WIN FIRST FIGHT Washington, Feb, 19—Advocates of a child labor constitutional amend-} ment wpn their first fight today when the senate judiciary commit- tee voted in favor of the resolution providing for submission of such an amendment to the states. Opponents of the resolution, how- ever, declared they would prevent the other. They were as equally matched in golf- ing as they were in skill and daring during the days of pursuit. They agreed to let Fate—and Golf—settle their problem. If Michael won, he went free. If he lost—Scotland Yard would be notified. The story of the battle for liberty is a golfing classic, aside from thé dramatic intensity of the situation. Let Janet tell about what happened at the 18th, with the scores even up. At the 18th, a strong wind was against them. ‘Norman, pulling a little, escaped the bunkers, but Michael, hitting a far better ball, carried them with a few yards to spare. Norman played a fine second and reached the green four or five yards from the hole. When Michael-reached his ball, I saw him stop and look at it. His servant gave an exclamation. . It was lying where a huge clot of dirt had been. knocked: away by some beginner and never te- placed, without a blade of grass around it and on a downward slope. I looked across toward Sir Norman. “Tt isn’t fair,” I whispered hoarsely. Norman can’t see. Besides, I'm in the way.” Michael, who was choosing a‘club, just glanced up at me for a moment, and I felt as though I had said something. sacrilegious. “We don’t play games that way,” he rejoined quietly. “I'm afraid this is going to be a rather ipa ‘ The tangled threads of crime, love, criminal cunning, golf, dar- sense of sportsmanship are woven into the greatest’ series of detective stories since Sherlock Holmes at his , Zenith, by that acknowledgement master creator of mystery stories. -E, PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM OITS OF SIR NORMAN GREYES,” will run serially in “The Bismarck Daily Tribune "BEGINNING THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22 Why strains hurt Congestion in tissues causes muscu- lar pain.
