J. F, A'lami, auditor of the organiz.
'in.
Application for a memoerihip in
the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce hai been made, through which
medium the major portion of the
drain will be oll. Mr. Adami taid.
The Northwest Vhrt Growers will
not act as a cojtimiaiion concern, its
interest being confined to the selling
end, at no wheat will be purchased
hy it. he said. It aUo will not drit
in future option.
Plan to Stabilise Market.
One ot the objects of the organiia
tion is to attempt to create a more
table market, Mr. Adams declared.
A normal quantity will be sold each
month, depending upon market condi
tion, with no !et limits to gauge the
movement.
The Northwrnt Wheat Growers
maintain selling agencies at Tort
I iiid, Ore., Seattle ami Ogdrn, Utah.
Wheat from North Uukoia, Montana,
Nebraska and Colorado will ffow
tlirotiKh the Minneapolis office, while
Washington, Oregon and Idaho grain
will be disposed of at the western
agencies.
Pool Wheat.
Under the rules, each of the 20,000
members, who have ' contracted to
pool their wheat for six years, will
take his wheat to an immediate ele
vator and obtain elevator receipts,
according to Mr. Adams. These will
be forwarded to the Northwest
Wheat Growers' office and farmeres
will be paid 73 per cent of the full
value, based on current market
prices, he explained. Additional ad
vances will be made as the grain is
sold.
Final payment will be based on
average prices.
For its export business, the organ
ization has made connections with a
European house which deals only in
co-operative wheat, he added. Duluth,
Seattle and Portland will act as ex
port ports.
As Chicago is out of its immediate
territory, no trading will be done on
the Chicago Board of Trade, Mr.
Adams said.'

Chickens Dying
From Lick of Air
Farmers Don't Take Time to
Open Windowd in Hen
Hoiif, Kxprrti Say.
Poultry specialiM at the Univer
sity of Nebraska agricultural college
are authority for the statement that
ch'ikens are dying in all parts of Ihe
atate from lack of ventilation in hen
houses, from lice and mites and in
sufficient qualities of water. They
state that the prevailing idea is that
hens must lie kept warm in the win
ter time, and in order to accomplish
this the hen homes are closed up
airtight, and when summiT comes
the farm folks are too busy with oth
er work to attend to Ihe opening
of windows.
There is a remedy for this state
of affairs, the experts say, and that
is the construction of modern lien
houses. Houses constructed so that
in the summer practically two-thirds
of the south exposure could be
opened, and in the winter have one-
third muslin front would be the
means of saving much loss and would
prevent much suffering.
Lice can be exterminated by an
application of sodium flourid applied
by the pinch method, the specialists
say, and a good kerosene spray,
mixed with faste cylinder oil and
stockl dip, will get rid of mites.
So far as drinking water is ron
cqrncd. it is reported that a healthy
ben will consume from one-half to
one and a half pints of water in a
day.

South Dakota Land Raises
No. 1 Wheat Without Rain
Milbank, S. D. Unusual features
of crop production are presented this
season in the rag, on near Milbank.
Two or three instances are reported
of fields of wheat being .threshed
which was raised on land upon which
not a drop of rain fell from the time
the seed was planted until the crop
was harvested. And yet the quality
of the wheat harvested from these
fields will grade No. 1. The yield
per acre also is reported to have been
very good. It is believed this is the
first time a wheat crop has ever
been produced under similar circum
stances without a drop of rain.

Geneva Corn Is Hunted
hy Continuous Hot Weather
Geneva The hot weather of the
last two weeks has burned the corn
in many fields and rain now would
be too late to help the situation. In
places where earn has been planted
in low ground or where the weeds
have grown tall enough to shade the
stalks, the fields look green and the
crop may make from 25 to 30 bushels
to the acre, it is thought.

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Omaha He leased Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 27. The wheat sit
uation, taking it the world over, is
the greatest puzzel to the best in
formed exporters, though they al
ways are in close touch with every
phase that develops.
It is so different from any situa
tion they have encountered, they arc
timid about expressing a positive
opinion.
Supply and demand conditions the
world over are closely adjusted, but
the market acts differently from past
years when conditions were very
similar, bo exporters are using more
caution than usual.
In countries where socialistic gov
ernment is domiiient, financial condi
tions are bad, while those still on a
gold basis for their currency, especi
ally Sweden, Norway, Switzerland,
and Czecho-Slovakia, business condi
tions are good.
European requiremnts of wheat are
large. They average about the same
as in recent years, approximately
675,000,000 bushels, from leading pro
ducing countries, or about 13,000,000
bushels a week for 12 months. Last
year European crops generally were
short, but the quality ot the wheat
was good. .This year weather condi
tions were unfavorable, yet Europe
ans are not buying freely at present
low prices, while a year ago their
purchases were large at higher prices.

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
Omaha, Ileal Leased VI Ira.
New York, Aug. 27, It it under
a curiously mixed array of economic
influences that we are approaching
the end of summer ami the resump
tion of business activities,
.Summing up the kiluatioit of the
moment as it bears on the financial
future, emphasis naturally will be laid
first on the fact that the soft coal
strike is terminated and with it the
critical problem of manufacturing;
that, while the railway shopmen'!
strike continues, it has the appear
ance of a lot battle and no loiiRt-r
arouses apprehension of a sympa
thetic Mrikc by the operating men.
On the other hand, two large tin
certainties have been injected into
the situation; One of the intimation
of government operation of the an
thracite coal mines, if the strike of
those miners is not settled, and of
such railways as do not prove their
ability to handle traffic and euuio-
ment. Hie other factor is the be
wildering currency panic which has
broken out in Germany.
Ihe anthracite problem is an ex
tremely grave one; nevertheless, it
is distinct from the bituminous, in
that embargo on hard ro.il mining
would not, like the failure of soft
coal supply, paralyze industry. It
also was frit generally that this in
timation of direct governmental in
tervention would force the operators
and miners to terms.

The (iitatlnn ut aelaura of railways la

blllty of luiiilliiims arlalim. whlrh would

tha actiinl resultant situation, t'apsrity
of the rusila fur transportation anil rlla-
iriiiunon has not yet liem testeil by
full movement of soft coal from tha
mines. In other trafrir, the rallrostts, sa
a whole, have continued to do jrood work
under lha handicap of tha shopmen
strlks.
The fact that lha laat weekly report of
luauinas snowea increases or tii.uiio cars,
or t per cent over the same week In
1121, and SO.CMIO or 2 per tent over 1110
and tha fact that naillngs of general

no visible Indication of a breakdown. It
Is In the performance of Individual roada.
especially on tha routes of active cost
traffic, that lha situation Is mora dlf-
ncuit to juiire.
Outcome In Doubt,
Kven In case of Inadequacy of fecit
Mice In auch respects, however. It Is not
eiter lo - foresee tha practical outcome
of Kovernmenlal operation. Forcing- the
shopmen back to work unless through
v'oncadlng all tha step sxalnst which the
labor buurd and the railway executives
have taken their stand, would be aa Im
pnsalble for tiia kovarnmeat aa for the
private mansKrments.

cars and motive power from one road
which is In full supply, to ahnllier which
Is In need, could be effected by ihe Inter

timation will therefore be tnkin as a con.
dlllonal warning, based only on demon
strated failure to me a problem for
which the rnllwaya have themselves bsen
preparing all along.
Foreign Trmle Wrecked.
Holier financial judgement In this coun
try and In JCurope docs not look for over
turn of tho fierman government or cessa
tion ot foreign trade or relapse Into an

been Intimated In tha ensa of Austrrs,
with the curious rumor conntantly reap
pearing that the Austrian statesmen may
ask the allied council to undertake for it
self the task of governing Austria. Kut
that Is because tho foreign trade, ihe
homo production and the public revenue
of Austria have been wrecked even be
fore the recent prodigious Inflation of the
currency.

Visits Lloyd George
London. Aug. 27.-(By A. !'.)
Former Governor Cox of Ohio spent
an hour and a half with I'rrniirr
Lloyd George al breakfast, dist-uii-ing
international affairs, with par
ticular reference to the aggravated
economic and financial situation in
K u rope,
."It was a cordial and delightful
meeting." Mr. Cox said. "Mr.
Lloyd George was extremely gra
cious and hospitable. lie potsetses
all the homely virtues which make j
ait ideal host. I was struck with
his youthful appearance, his buoyant
spirit and flexibility of mind. He is
apparently a man who goes to bed
early, sleeps soundly and does not
worry about anything. He has un
bounded capacity for work,"
Mr. Cox said he bad received a
second invitation from the Irish gov
ernment to visit Ireland, but feared
that his limited time in I'.ngland
would not permit.

the Re-Opening of The Sun
Theater Saturday and Sunday
It was a pleasure to stand in the lobby of
the theater as the people passed out to
hear the many complimentary remarks
about the beautiful black and orange
drapes, the harmonizing interior decora
tions, the large ceiling sunburst and
plastic art
The incomparable new Sun Orchestra,
under the direction of Louis Schnauber,
and Edwin Stevens on the Sun organ re
ceived their share of praise.
and the Photoplay,
0 "THE STORM"
A storm of approval, a storm of applause
after each showing of the picture. The
cast, the direction, the scenic splendor,
the mighty forest fire, the raging blizzard,
the roaring rush of water, the terrific leap
for life, and the appealing love story, all
combined makes "The Storm" a worthy
addition to the "Sun Book of Wonder
Pictures."
