frightened. Higher prices will be asked
for threshing and the "cutthroat'
thresher will be frozen out" For
example, in Clinic county, ILL.,, last
year many farmers got their wheat
threshed for 215 cents; others 312,
and the maximum was 4 cents. The
rate for oats was ~ to 2 cents. The
trust means to root out the Decent
oats man" and the "212-cent wheat
man." Naturally the organizers OF the
trust disclaim any intention of run
ming up prices on the farmers" They
are merely trying to establish "a uni
form scale" and eliminate price-cut-
ting" And naturally the farmers fore
see cents for the wheat rate and
2 cents for the oat rate. An organizer
blandly admits his inclination to think
that the maximum rate will prevail.
The manufacturers of thresh1ng ma
chimes are supposed to be behind the
trust.
The farmers are growing nervous.
Some of them talk about boycOttlng
the members of the trust. But
threshing trust of their own is the OBJ
vious remedy. Fight trust with trust
Every trust which pinches the farmer
increases his need of a farmers trust.
At the same time his knowledge OF
the success of combination in other
business makes him consider ii it can
not be applied to his business. Both
as a shield and as a sword, the trust
principle begins to commend itself
to his judgment.

WHERE TELEPHONING is CHEAP.

In no country in Europe does the
telephone play so important part in
the daily life of the people as in Swe-
den, and in no country, with the eX-
ception of the United States, has the
telephone been brought to such
pitch of perfection. There are two
classes of telephones in use, the
'Riks," of government variety, and the
"Allmanna," or general. These latter
are subdivided into three further vari-
cites: The "star" telephone, which
costs $25 per annum; the ordinary
telephone at $3.50 year for five years
after installation, plus SIS per annum
for use (after five years, however, the
$3.50 a year ceases; the third variety
is the district" which costs only $40
a year. The cost of the Riks, or gov
eminent telephone, is $14 year. The
toll rates are low. They are as fol
lows:
Up to 60 miles outside Stockholm,
cents for every three minutes.
Over 60 to $50 miles, 8 cents for
three minutes.
One hundred and fifty to $50 miles,
1879 cents for three minutes.
From $50 to $40 miles, 20 cents for
three minutes.
Over $40 miles, 20 cents for three
minutes.
1t must be understood that these
rates apply to Sweden only. In Nor
way the rates vary according to dis
lance from cents to Sc cents. and in
Denmark from 411a cents to 69h
cents for three minutes conversation
Now, with regard to the Allmanna,
or general" telephone. Within ra-
dius of 40 miles to Stockholm these in
struments may be used free, but be-
yond this distance Riks must be used;
and to connect with the Riks from
your own Allmanna apparatus
charge of 21a cents is made inside the
city, while the ordinary Riks charges
prevail outside Accounts for trans
fers from one variety of instrument
to another are rendered every quar-
ter. The star and ordinary telephones
may be used as often as you please,
but the district variety is limited to

COOPERATION AMONG FARMERS.

An organization has been formed at
Indianapolis of the American Society
of Equity of North America, which
seeks to be a national farmers trust.
There was already in existence the
Farmers National Cooperative Ex-
change, which was incorporated in
South Dakota last summer and has
Headquarters in Chicago. The object
of the exchange is a combination OF
the agricultural interests OF the coun-
try for the purpose of buying and sell
ing grain, provisions and live stock,
and the construction and operation
of elevators, warehouses, stock yards
and so on.
To a certain extent. and especially
in the matter of warehouses and ele-
vators, the means to be used by the
exchange are similar or identical with
those of the society; and the officers
of the former have already proposed
consolidation with the latter. The es-
sential part of the society's plan, how
ever, is a union of the farmers in in
sisting upon their own prices, minute
and accurate system of crop reports
enabling an equitable minimum price
to be set upon each product. OF
course the equitable minimum price"
is term intended to relieve the ap-
prehensions of the consumer. The
highest attainable maximum price will
be demanded. AS the president OF
the Society of Equity says frankly,
''the farmers are the first hands. and If
they will ask profitable prices for
their products and then through CO.
operation stand together, they can get
any price they care to put upon them"
The projectors of the Indianapolis
trust believe that they have hit upon
the only feasible means of organizing
the producers; and they hold that the
Chicago Dakota method is insufficient.
Meanwhile, the necessity of some
sort of farmers trust for the purpose
of self-defence, if no other, is being
taught sharply enough. A despatch
to the ST. Louis Republic from Car
lyle, ILL.,, describes strong combine"
which means to pinch the farmers
next fall. This is the Transformers
National Protective Association, which
is said to have 10000 members
throughout the country and to be ad-
ding to it's membership rapidly every
week In every state where thrasher-
men are numerous organizers are at
work. Thus, branch associations have
been formed in IA of the 102 counties
of Illinois, and by spring the thrash
ermen in every county will be in the
trust. In the fall the screws will be

The persistence with which great
numbers of people send small sums
of money by mail, Notwithstanding
the obvious risks of loss, is sufficient
indication of the need of some form
of easy and safe remittance of small
amounts. 1t is greatly to the discredit
of the government that after SO many
years of experience with postoffice
money orders, the system in use is
still unsatisfactory.
There is something like genius in
the novel but exceedingly simply pro-
position to issue small bills with a
blank in which the name and address
of a payee could be written and thus
instantly transform an ordinary bill
for 81 or So into a check or draft
on the government for that amount,
payable only to the payee named, but
on which he could get his money at
any postoffice where he could be iden-
tilted, as readily as if it were New
York draft for the same amount. Not
withstanding the simplicity of the
plan, Congress has failed to adopt it..
Any enterprising business house to
which an improved method of so great
value should be suggested would I'M
hesitatingly and enthusiastically adopt
it,
The only objections to the plan
are that it might make some addition
al work in the treasury department.
Ii that is sufficient reason why mil
lions of people should be denied the
advantages and conveniences which
this simple method offers, the propo-
sition should be abandoned. If not
Congress should make short work of
the matter. If congressman take an
intelligent interest in the question
long enough to understand what the
measure is, we shall soon have the
most important and widely apprecia-
ted improvement to our postal system
that has been made in many decades.
Citizens should request their repre-
sentatives in Congress to see that
more convenient money is furnished
the people.

A good deal has been said lately in
the papers Of the state about prof.
ect set on foot to establish a sugar
beet factory in the Yakima valley. Mr..
E. D. Comins, well known throughout
the country for his achievements as a
professional promoter, was engineer
ing the deal, and he expressed him.
self as very hopeful over the outlook,
feeling confident the citizens of that
valley would meet his terms. A repre-
sentative of The Ranch met Mr.. Com
ms the other day, and asked him how
the project was getting along.
"My friend, those Yakima people
don't appreciate the efforts of man
who wants to help them. Why, l Of
fered to build $750,000 beet sugar
factory if they would put up $4,000
cash, and get the farmers to subscribe
100000 In sugar beets. Did they take
it up? No, sir. Said they would get
the farmers to supply the hundred
thousand in beets, but wanted to have
me prove my financial standing and
ability to deliver the goods before they
would make move. Now, what do
you think Of that? Me show my hand?
Well, not if Comins is awake, he
won't. I'll see 'em all in hell first!
And say" he added, lowering his voice
to stage whisper, well fix 'em. Well
divide Yakima county, see if we
don't"
The reporter shuddered at the awful
threat and hurried away, wondering if,
after all, the Yakima folks hadn't made
mistake in turning Mr. Comins down.
