the financial condition of the assccia-
ton made public by the official report
at the annual meeting. Fifteen years ago
shares were issued at So par value.
Since that time each share has brought
to the owner thereof SEQ. That's the
cash part OF the transaction, but the
yearly profit to each stockholder can
not be computed. in dollars and cents,
for unquestionably these farmers have
received the top market price on ALI
products of the farm they nave sold
and saved many dollars on family and
farm supplies they are obliged TO buy.
Wisely have the managers decided only
TO buy staples. such as machinery, salt,
wire, nails, certain kinds of stoves ana
staple dry goods, and to sell them to
patrons or members of the association
at slight profit. They do not attempt
10 handle goods either In buying or
selling at cost, but of course the farm
ers really get such goods at cost when
dividends are declared. The same
feature OF profit on what they sell
comes back to the stockholders in the
same way. But the real secret of the
prosperity of this association, outside
of a wise administration of affairs, is
the rebate-rakeof is the better phrase
--on everything the members sell. II
a dealer in grain or livestock sees fit
to pay more for such grain or livestock
than the association will pay on that
day, then the members of the associa-
ton are at liberty to sell to such pur-
chaser, only so much bushel or so
much per hundred on livestock. is paid
by that member into the general fund
of the association. This "rakeoff,"
small as it is, runs into thousands OF
dollars In a year. Ii is universally paid
in, for Il failure to do so means loss of
membership. Meanwhile the writer. for
one, fails to see how this association Is
inspiring the general business of tho
town. On the contrary, so much SELL
ing of farm products comes to Rock
we'll, the general business of the town
is increased proportionately.

MERCHANT AND FARMER.
Grundy l.emocrat.1
There are some farmers who are of
the belief that the object in the main
of the merchant of the town is to skin
him out of his own: there are some
merchants who believe as firmly that
it is the farmer who is more than a
match for the merchant in the game
of skinning. In the majority of cases
both are wrong; in exceptional cases
both are right.
There is an occasional farmer who
makes the excuse for himself for short
counting the merchant, an act of self
defense. and to match him there is an
occasional merchant who makes it Il
business of dealing out doses of the
same medicine with the same apology
to his conscience. These two types are
working more towards the destruction
of each other than towards their mu-
tual help.
1t is fortunate that this spirit of
skin the other fellow for-h will do
e-same-to-you finds but little place
in the transactions between farmer
and merchant Of today else the coun
try would soon develop into a race of
professional grafters each bent upon
the footing of his neighbor.
The merchant and the farmer need
each other. Existence without the
one is as impossible as it is to live In
a civilized state without the other
The prosperity and the development of
one means equal prosperity and adj
vancement to the other
There should be happy feeling of
family relationship existing between
these two factors for whom it is so
necessary to lean one on the other and
this feeling will develop when the true
relationship between the farmer and
the merchant are understood.

In few weeks Or a few days the trad

A True Singer.

No matter what the weather,
The singers voice rang true.
Or clouds we're all about him.
Or roses hid the rue.
He sang Of human passion,
OF simple little things
The daisy In the woodland.
The forest murmurings.
He loved the blooming clover.
The lowing Of the kline;
A peaceful country homestead
To him seemed half divine:
The cradle eong OF mothers
Above. Q baby wee;
The wooing OF the song birds
Nest building In the tree.
Somehow the things were simple,
And 30 were all his songs.
He seemed to zee life's beauties.
Nor croaked about it's wrongs.
But some way people read him
And loved him from their heart.
He knew their love while living.
His was the true:t art.
