Now that Harrison is to be our next
president let the farmers take courage
and press forward to grasp what is in
our reach. Dakota is to become a
state soon and the organic law is to be
adopted whether the Sioux Falls con-
stltutlon or some other. No time is
better than now for farmers to see to it
that plank in Dakota's fundamental
law shall put proper restraint upon cor
porations and give the producers affair
market. Could these and other things
be properly placed in that instrument
which is to be the basis of our future
civilization whata multitude of errors
might be covered. The wisdom of
our people is to be tried and tested by
the foundation upon Mhlch they shall
choose to stand. Can farmers fully
realize the height and depth the length
and bredth Of the issues soon to come
before us. It's easy to see that if we
emerge into statehood with plain SIM
pie laws of the right kind the progress
of coming generations will be greatly
enhanced as we'll as our prosperity Sc
cured. No doubt far seeing lawyers
will do their utmost assisted by lesser
lights to so frame our law rs to require
legal talent to translate it to our COM
mon people thus making doubly sure
of their bread and butter for coming
time. VIE itnot be to the interest of
strong corporations to have matters so
arranged as to foster their institutions,
whether the producers have fair play
or not. Woula it hot be per-
fectly natural for banks, railroads,
mining and other interests to put forth
extra efforts to the end that laws
favorable to their best good should be
adopted. Now we do not wish to say
these enterprises do not need any
favocs or that they are inferior items
in the make up of our common wealth
but we do say that While these things
are necessary to cur comfort and We'll
being they have no right superior to
those of the producing classes.
G. S. Eddy and Ed. brought from
Alpena last week two barrels OF $50
test oil for use Of Harmony T. A. mem
bers. In all probability more will he
needed about the holidays. Prices
were obtained from Alpena, Woon-
socket and the Springs but little differ
ence as to cost but Roth Bros. secured
our trade in oil. Any Local Alliance
in The county can do the same IT they
get to the front. Nothing can be done
unless an effort IS made. All that is
necessary can easily be attended to in a
few days. Give notice Of meeting
some evening for the purpose OF order
ing the articles you desire, be sure all
the members know Of time, place and
object. AS notice is being given tell
them Of the probable saving. When
the time comes instruct your agent to
take names and numbers OF gallons
each desires. Your agent can then Sc.
cure best prices and get the desired
amount and bring tito some place in
your neighborhood. Have it under
stood about what time you may get
the oil and all get as near that time as
possible, by this less waste will occur.
No 5l8 will this week empty one
barrel and leave the other sealed until
later. then try to empty it as quickly
as possible when tested. These things
can So attended to if a little energy
is put forth and great saving can be
realized. Let every Local try this, at
once the evenings are long and our
farmers are just waiting fer some one
to move and they will rally. 1t these
plans are carefully followed satlstac-
tion is fully guaranteed and a hand
some saving realized. This week Sat
urday is regular county council day
Alternates to jamestown and. Brook
ings should be chosen and other busl-
ness attended to, farther arrangements
for Lecturers VIII then be made and
an5 locality desiring; meetings should
maketheir wants known.
