1t wouldn't take but comparatively
short time. if this troop with their fixed
bayoncts, prohibit middle men and others
from visiting the West End, before these
ladies would be enroute for the farms.
They could assist the lone bachelors
in taking care of the house and chickens
besides they could churn butter. be-
lieve that ladies are better adapted to
this work then men.
A few more words about the Canadian
lady. She asserts that the Sstores buy
tho farm products. Not always, how
ever. Before the G. n. came through
here, my neighbors and I tried to sell
1000 pounds of butter in Devils Lake.
but it had to be shipped to Minneapolis.
This was in the fall. The middle man
was of course willing to keep it for
awhile. presume he knew well how
to invest our money until we came for 1T
in the spring. 1t would be interesting
to know the eye of the middle man and
the Canadian lady. They need little
more schooling in order to ascertain
where the help comes from. Fifty per
cent af the farmers are already slaught
cred, having called them dead beats A
schooling similar to the one Moses re
ceived, after killing the Egyptian, would
benefit them greatly, for instance, So
journ among the cattle and sheep for
about 30 or 40 years. Whatever they
killed of these could easily DO eaten, but
I scarcely think that they would care for
farmers flesh, IN this civilized country.
Let us heed the words of the Canadian
lady, olive and Let Live" for the time
is fast approaching when we all will be
boxed up and it will be question as to
how our dealings have been, right or
wrong, and if we have paid our bill, and
eaten our own bread. l remember an
instance that happened in Larimore
some farmers and myself came in with
butter to one of our own nationality,
He was middle man, and by several
performances of his face wanted to prove
that it was very poor butter, so conse
quently he offered very low price.
If the middle man wishes to know how
we can do without him, shall explain
later on. But let me advise that he as
we'll as the Canadian lady, be merciful
unto Wallin, because it is certain that
they don't know everything. The little
country. Sweden has furnished many
a son for this country. 1t didn't look
very bright for this country before Cap.
Erickson invented the yankee Cheese
Box" The nation didn't forget to ex-
press their gratitude to him, for when
he died they transported his body back
to Sweden that it might rest in his own
country soil.
No doubt the middle man has some
mercy in his heart and l would urge
that he display it at home and don't
seize Wallin and the farmer too tight
by the throat for that would only weak.

EXERCISE your mercy by Kidding away
the traps and pits where so many sons
and daughters have been wrecked. We
have spent much money to educate our
children and make them good citizens of
this country.
Let your light shine Become as
farmer The crops have been poor and
perhaps they will remain SO, for there
has always been class of people, who
place heavy burdens on the people but
are unwilling to move them with one of
their fingers. Let us beware for what
so-ever man soweth that shall he also
reap.
persume that the middle man is diff
ferent from Wallin and the farmers in
SO much that he giveth tenth of his
earnings, fasts twice week and has
nothing to do with sinners and prosti-
tutes, but remember, middle man that
our righteousness must surpass that of
farmer and middlemen, or else we will
be punished at last. Let US urge that
all unite in favor of Wallin and the far
mer and lessen their burdens. Hurrah
for Wallin's organization.
