Secure Gravel Now.

1t has been suggested that it would
be q good opportunity now to secure
gravel for Willmar ST. eets that are in
need Of something substantial to lm-
prove their condition. While the
Great Northern Railway company is
hauling gravel from its New London
pit some effort on the part of our citi-
zsns should be made to have little
gravel left in WilImar for street pur-
poses. It can be secured ct this time
at reasonable cost and with no In
convenience on the part of the compa-
n.y.: Prompt action in this matter will
result in much good for the city. The
betterment OF our: streets 10 one of the
important things that should be looked
after by all business men.

In the Olden time when the most of
us moved along on Oxomobiles and
saw gllttering carriage coming down
the road, there was no doubt in our
minds that it was either the sheriff or
the doctor; but when We sse one now.
a.days we nearly all agree that it is
the neighbours hired man.
There was q time when machine
agents were running a race all over
the country telling farmers how cheap
they could sell their machinery, and
the farmers did for . fact reap some
benefit from it, as there always was
more or less competition. But this
now belongs to the past since the To-
ternational Harvester Co. vas .esteb-
lished. They simply cit 10 their Of
ice and smoke their cigars until we
farmers come and tell them our wants
and listen to their uniform price.
The cattle buyers, who used to run
around the country to look at our
stock and bid over each other, don't
do that any more; they don't have to.
They have things In such ehape that
they can occupy their easychairs till
we farmers come in and ask them If
they will please come out and look at
our stock. Then there seems to be q
doubt in their minds If We can sell as
cheap % they can buy. This is all.
right; we have no kick coming. But
how long will it take before the farm
era will fully understand their situa-
ton and come to the final conclusion
that q union or organization of the
farmers Is just as necessary az any
other organization. probably can
ship al our grain without going near
the elevators; probably ship all our
stock and never bother the cattle buy
ers; buy all our machinery from fac
tories that do not, belong to any trust,
and our merchandise direct from
manufacturers. Wake up, farmersl
Let us get farmers organization in
every township and in time probably
q county organization which would
get its due respect. farmers control
q mighty good. power II they only will
sit down q minute aud think the mat.
ter over and then act. It is fairly
demonstrated that the price ts estab-
lished on everything we. want to sell
from . horse down to . puppy, 40 we'll
as . fixed price on everything We need
to buy, and We stand and look at 1t
like the would be pugilist who doubled
his fists in his coat pc ckets. ,.
