THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) REGULATING PRODUCTION PAYS With wheat and corn prices touching new high levels for the year, it appears at this time that the long campaign to reduce the production of wheat in this country will pay the farmers. Wheat production rose to unprece- dented heights when the government asked the farmers to raise all the food possible during the World War, and the farmers responded nobly. It was only natural that the ex- traordinary production should continue after the war. In many other lines of business the owners sought to keep up the dizzy war pace of production, and deflation hit them hard. A campaign, born out of the collapse of wheat prices, was instituted for a more diversified farming and for lowered wheat production. It was preached by farmers, by agricul- tural experts, by business men. It resulted in a marked de- crease in wheat production in the United States. Poor crop conditions outside of the Northwest as well as decreased production have contributed to the estimate of a probable decrease of seven per cent in wheat production in the North- corporations in the event that the pending proceedings results adverse- ly to the consumers of steel and the newer centers of the iron and steel industry that want to compete with Pittsburgh on even terms and in a free field. In any case the Pittsburgh-plus issue will go to the United States supreme court for final adjudica- tion. That means additional months of delay and artificial inequality. but evidently there is no alternative to patient waiting upon the slow processes of the law. What the opponents of Pittsburgh- plus ask is neither more nor less than a free market. They do not see—and neither do scientific Amer- ican economists of standing—why persons who buy steel preducts should be compelled to pay for fic- titious transportation at the same time and by the same contract. It is idle to tell them that if Pitts- burgh-plus were abolished, either voluntarily or by judicial decree, prices of steel-would be. higher.

Haina hei as, indeed, in every other commod-|her family are right behind us. BY JACK JUNGMEYER year by those who believed price-fixing was the only solution of the wheat problem. Corn, too, has risen to new heights. This increase in prices is good news to the Northwest. Jt means, together with a somewhat lower price level noted by Eastern manufacturers, that the sale price of the farmer’s products and the purchase price of the things he must buy, will approach more nearly a correct level. What the future may hold is, of course, uncertain, but the opinion of business leaders in ‘general lends to the view that the readjustment ef commodity values ought to continue until the farmer has become a distinct beneficiary, as he should be. Higher corn prices should react to keep up the market on livestock. North Dakota farmers, in particular, have in- ity. The country is weary of special privilege and of wanton interference with economic laws. It longs for a return to equal opportunity and the square deal in business. YES FRONT!

Ninety per cent or more of those who drive automobiles are very care- ful. But there is a small percentage of drivers who act, on country roads and city streets, as though they were laboring under the delusion that they are driving alone in an un- populated wilderness, with the only automobile in existence. They give no heed to intersections of roads or streets. They start from the curb without signaling. They pay no at- tention to the signals of other drivers. They turn corners and cross streets and avenues at reck- less speed. They blithely invite death, for themselves and others. Many of those who drive auto- mobiles have many lessons to learn. But there is no lesson more i portant than this: That “eyes front’ is the only sensible rule for those in charge of what in careless hands is a deadly weapon.—Duluth Herald. “that a woman of the style of this Mrs. Atherton could really wear enough crepe to give the impression of grief.

Tom Sins ws These July days are not so much, but these July nights beat the fa- mous Arabian nights. Many business men of the city, farmers in the county end business men of other towns in the county have at one © or another expressed themselves as being very much lin favor of a fair. The nearest approach to such tion was the North Dakota State Corn Show, held here. Jt was a success, though conducted on a small scale. The management of the Corn Show evidenced the ability to handle such an exposition. In all parts of the state this year, fairs are being at- tended by huge crowds and great interest is being shown. These fairs contribute directly to the upbuilding of the agri-, cultural territories. Burleigh county needs a good fair for h rdvertising purposes, to place Burleigh county before the y]d as the best county in the state. Bismarck needs to assist in providing a central place for the exhibits, education and entertainment of the people of a large section of the state. =a oe ‘The only way in which the oft-expressed desire of citizens for a county fair, or a state fair, can become a reality is for + group of men to organize and institute a vigorous campaign 19. provide the sinews of the organization, to obtain the land pecessary, to begin on the buildings, to enlist all the leading greater gossips than. women, and their scandalous comments seem to ETTA LEE airy, more weight.
