A set of oiticers and an executive committee was elect

the American League Against War and Fascism is Chris

the meeting. The members decid- !

Feed Grain Supplies Arc
Smallest Since 1881,
Says Report
WASHINGTON, D.C. ,Nov. 5.—
The farmer's purchasing power is
declining, the supply of feed and
grain is the smallest since 1881,
and still higher meat prices are
store for the worker, according
the annual agricultural outlook
report issued today by the U.S.
Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
The Bureau tries to disguise the
fact that the farmer's purchasing
power is falling again by pointing
drop of 3 in the purchasin g
power of farm products. The high
pr i ces are benefiting the rich
farmers, and not the poor farmers,
Who were ruined by the drought.
The report of the bureau admits
this and says that "in areas severe
affected by the drought, cash'
incomes will be extremely low."
The report goes on to say that
thc "supplies of feed grains this
T*"- ar » the tallest since 1881
due to the unprecedented drought,
and the number of meat animaU
on farms at the end of this year
will be the smallest since 1899."
The nrimary cause for the destruc
tion *f livestock was the refusal
of the administration to ship grain
to the drought areas.
As a result of the deliberate
of livestock meats have

CLOSED RELIEF
OFFICE FOOLS
MANY MONDAY
Again last Monday the county
relie 5 office w f s closed and a lar
number of farmers, several
whom had come mo re than
miles in the hope of getting
grocery orders, had to return
empty hands.
There were some farmers Who
had forgotten all about Armistice
Day, others had looked at their
calendars and discovered it was on
Sunday. They had no suspicion
that they would find the office
closed on Monday. They made the
trip because their families were in
need of things. It wasn't a pleas
ure trip for them. They had been
promised that orders would be sent
to them but they did not arrive.
Others had been told that an in
vestigator bad to come first, bat
weeks passed and none came. And
When under these conditions then
farmers come into town they must
find the office closed.
It looks as if the relief admin
istration is trying to deliberately
fool the people, perhaps for the
purpose of making them stay home
in the future, else they would have
at least put a notice in the news
papers announcing that the office
would be closed on Monday.

there are a few little questions we would like to have

afraid they will greatly irritate our honored Brain Trust.
We would like to know what the government is go

may fill the warehouses, yes, but what next? Build

BISMARCK, N. D., Nov. 6.—
The workers and farmers of the
North Dakota prairies are facing
a w i n te r °f unheard of misery and
suffering. Already the stock is

many are being refused relief. Just

At its meeting in October, the
state land board granted an op
tion to the government on 706.44
acres of state land along the Medi
cine Lake project. The price per
acre was not mentioned.
At the board meeting held Nov.
9, the government applied for an
option on 112.24 additional
for the same project. The option
was granted. The land in ques
tion has been appraised at $1,500,
and if the government is agree
able will be sold for that amount,
which is more than $13 per acre.
The land along Medicine Lake
is very much the same and it is
rather doubtful whether the state
land, for which the state is ask
ing $13 per acre, is any better
than the county land for Which
the county commissioners have set
a price of $2.50 per acre. The
j only difference is that the state
knows enough to get all it can
while the getting is good, while
the county wants to play Santa
