Norfolk, Neb., Nov.' 19. (Special'
The farmers', srfce is a new ex
perience to farmers iV north Ne
braska and southern' South Dakota:
Indications are that little grain he
iilg held by fanners of north Ne
braska although rtfa(tsale' of. pats
liSi not been notiieaM. IVactffcally
ivo corn has been offered for sale
ad farmers have not hesitated . to
vD"ounce that they would not sell
at present prices. A few loads of
the new corn have been sold fqr.Gji
cjnts, but only in cases where the
.formers -were forced to sell because
they had no feeding stock and be
cause they needed ready cash. Much
'oitthis corn went west to supply
f Seders there. -
j Farmers union stores in north
Nebraska act independently in their
.purchasing, most of them .buying
vZnere they can , secure the" best
, Roods at the lowest possible prices,
'ijie farmers union store in Norfolk
buys from jobbers' and ' wholesale
hjiuscs with which other merchants
are affiliated so far' as, trading is
concerned. Officials of- that store
dfcclare that the strikejcalled by the
National Farmers union will, hardly
affect the organizations in north
braska because of the independ
ence of the small stores. Unly a
fw of them buy .exclusively from
the Omaha supply house, and' very
fv of them a'nde. Jjy jtll .tljte rules
of. the national organratictn..,-"

"The chief complairttVpf vjtlie; farmer,
union store employes "an-nvembers
say, is that - the prices of. farmvprc-r
ducts is low to the 'farmer-' and high
tJ the consumer.. .They deciari that
if- a strike ,is , Called it will hardly
affect anything but graiii pork and
beef, but in face of the "tightness of
money the largest percentage of the
farmers will be forced to sell their
products. In many cases renters .who
have borrowed money have been
fcjrcrd to sell cows because they
were pushed for payments by banks.
Many laud owners will have to sell
their produsts before March 1, 1921,
the date of the next settlement, and
it is Known that many., high-priced
farms: are not paid for and must
be accounted for on that date.
' "We have had no notice regard
ing' a stnike of any kind," says F.
Z. McGinnis. who is manager of
the Farmers', union store in Nor
folk, ,'We have read in newspapers
about a wheat "strike, but it never
affected us or any , other store in
noHh Nebraska. We have- heard
nothing officiallyabout the proposed
strike by the national organization.
If a strike is called, it will affect
cattle, .hogs ami grain, but I doubt
the i success of it. The farmer is
getting good prices lor everything
rise." f .
On Thursday the Farmers Union
store was paying farmers" 66 cents
a -dozen for eggs and retailing them
out at 70 cents. At other stores
the price was about the -same.
Cream is bringing 56 cents. It had,
jumped to 60 cents during the season
and then dropped' back- to the old
time pric'f.:oi.48 'cents. .'Now' itis'
back up to So cents. "Farmers get

Been Suggested
Action at Coming Session of

With Law and Delay t
Income Tax.- ,

' Washington, D. C. Nov. J9.J-
. (Special Telegram.) jThe possibility
of action at the coming session of
congress for modification, or repeal
of the excess profits tax-and even
going so far as to delay the income
tax due on December-15, was sug-'
gested in responsible quarters in the
house of representatives today.
It was intimated that if the secre
tary of the treasury would send to
the ways and means committee, im
mediately tupon the reconvening of
congress, data supporting the de
mand . for;. postponement and' of
ficially reconynend-, such action, it
would be-' quite within" the possibili
ties to pass a resolution to. that eft
feet before the nexfr payment falls
due.-" Otherwise, it . was stated it
would be next1 to'. useless, ov ejepect
the ways-, and .means, committee,
yhich originatest'all tax Jegislation,
to initate action,as- that would in
volve holding? of hearings 1o de-,
velop the facts and. establish the
necessity for such legislation.
Congressman A. WT "Jcfferis of
the Omaha district, when asked to
day as to this phase of the situation,
intimated that he had heard the mat
ter discussed but only informally.
That,' so far as he -was concerned, he.
ririornipH the .necessity of reduc
tion in taxation and that every ef-l
fort .must be put forth to place th
country on a sound financial basis,
satisfactory to the business man and
satisfactory to the wage , earnetr
" He said he had giren the subject
of the repeal. of the" excess profits
tax some thought but was not pre
pared to suggest a substitute, if the
repeal was made. until after he had
made a further-study -of treasury
conditions.- -'; ",. " -;

have been received from these sec
tion by the State superintendent. The
teacher shortage these parts of
the. state, Mr. ftfatzen explained, is
due largely to the fact that the
schools are' located in ,iscjated sec
tions and operate on short terms.
"Teachers - do not care to travel
long distances to teach a short term
class,'" he said. Inconveniences of
the old one-rooifi school houses is
another feature objectionable to
many teachers-, i :,i -
During the last year many teach
ers who had- retired, have returned
nto the profession. Many, it is said,
were prompted to return by greatly
increased wages, while others re
turned for want , of something else
to do. Teachers, who served in the
war and-who sought other occupa
tions after being discharged, are re
turning to thff teaching profession in
large numbers this' year, Mr. Matzen
says. V ( ' ,' , '
