ADVERTISEMENTS Unarmed Arms of the Service Men from the battle front who have been holding the . line for months and years com- plain of the monotony of war. The soldier’slifein the trenches soon ceases to be a novelty and becomes a tedious routine. The morale of the army is of supreme importance and the greatest military authorities of the world are enthusiastic in their praise of the organiza- tions which make it their business to keep the soldier in good spirits. This work, like that of the Signal Corps, has been more highly developed in this war than ever before. Huts for amusement, comfort and re- cuperation of the fighting men age in the trenches as well as behind the lines. The un- ‘armed workers go about their duties under’ shell fire as coolly and as self-forgetfully as the telephone men of the Signal Corps who are fre- quently their neighbors, and who keep intact, often under a hail of bullets, the indispen- sable lines of communication. It is for us who remain at home to support these un- armed heroes to the utmost, with our gifts, our labor, and our unbreakable morale.

PAGE" (Contmued from™ page 12) space and shipping facilities and the saving of needless labor.- The dairy commissioners of Minnesota and Wis- consin have come out strongly in favor of limiting cream shipments, but North Dakota is the only state so far that has given any official at- tention to the matter. On July 8, 1918, the North Dakota State Council of Defense passed the resolution given in full on page 12. G PROMOTING TRUE CONSERVATION While the League farmers’ fight for a better dairy industry is for their own “bread and butter,” a plain busi- ness necessity, it is also promoting real national conservation and the ~ Why Flour Mills Can Still Proflteer (Continued from page 11) - that all the flour is secured? This is especially true in war time when flour is so important. .The North Dakota Agricultural col- lege milling data has shown how favorable the Minnesota wheat grades were to the grain trade at the ex- pense of the farmers. In the face of that the federal standards have been put out with several times as many A grades, and each grade means a cut in price to the farmer. The Minnesota standards provxded for seven grades and that was.too many, but the federal standards’ pro- vide for six subclasses with six grades each, with additional grades for mixed wheat, smutty wheat, etc., making in all over 100 different divisions, and the country elevator has only from 12 to 15 bins in which to handle all these grades as well as the different grades for barley, oats, *ye and flax. The effect on the price to the farmer of increasing the number of grades was well illustrated in 1916. The grain trade did not think that the seven grades in the Minnesota standards - were enough, so they added six more grades, Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 North- ern in place of No. 4 Northern, . and A, B, C and D feed. By this scheme they managed to make a difference of as much as a dollar per bushel on the average between the highest and the lowest grade, while the milling tests reported in North Dakota Bulletin No. 119 show that there was on the aver- age only 32 cents per bushel dif- ference in the milling value be-* tween the high and the low grades of wheat, leaving 68 cents per bushel unaccounted for. This shows very conclusively that in- _ creasing the number of grades means greater cuts in the price to.the farmer. The federal grades must exceed even the fondest dream of the grain trade.” The only trouble now is that the prlce-fixmg committee that makes the prices to be paid for the lower grades keeps them from taking full ‘advantage of these many grades as they did in 1916. The excess profits. found in the mllhng mdustry by the federal trade commission is' another proof that the wheat as bought under the federal standards is secured for less than it is worth, although the commission did not go beyond the transaction at the mill, which is according to the simple mllhng division ruling which ‘has neither types, subclasses or grade requirements. condition under the federal stand- ards with! more than 100 divmons, which ‘can only be applied in paying the farmer, a8 the elevator manager must mix these grades as soon as he il puts them in his elevator?

HOW PAPERS USE ROOSEVELT ° e o Orient, Iowa Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Inclosed find a page from the Des Moines Sunday Register of October 6, 1918. You will notice an article by Theodore Roosevelt, the gentleman who called the Bull Moose_convention in Chicago a few years ago and then & went_back on it. I thought perhaps it might be of interest to you at this af time. Success to the Leader, - C. J. EATINGER. The article noted is a report of the been handled at length in the Leader. As the documents exposed by the Leader showed, Roosevelt got his in- ) formation on the League in canned B 4 form from the anti-farmer interests : in the Northwest. Like a phonograph he gave this canned stuff out at Bil- . lings, Mont., and Minneapolis, Minn., press quoted the great man as the last word in. authority. Politicians and kept papers think such methods are all right so long as, they succeed and so long as they can find men of some reputation to play the part of a skunk. The Progressive party is not the ' only thirig Roosevelt has not been true to. His whole history shows that he has not been true to -anything but - Roosevelt.
