MARKETS AT
WILLMAR
ARE GOOD
Investigation By the CONNER
cial Club Proves That Will
mar Grain Markets are
at the Top Notch

VIVA
heard regarding the grain market
at Willmar, the Commercial Club
took up the matter at its last meet
ing and appointed committees to in
vestigate conditions existing in the
local grain market. They prompt
ly went to work, interviewed the
local elevator and mill men, secured
the reports from elevators in neigh
boring towns and compared these
with the reports from local buyers
for the past two weeks, and were
speedily convinced that no just COM
plant can be lodged against the
local market.
The grain men admitted that ear
ly in the season they hedged on the
barley. largely on account that
much of the barley raised in the
Immediate neighborhood of Will
mar had been raised in fields in
tested with wild oats, and, under
the rules, grain buyers are not per-
mitted to dock barley. The reports
of the last few weeks prove, how
ever, that the Willmar market has
been somewhat above the markets
in neighboring villages on all bar
ley reasonably clean. The price
paid at Willrnar is for the legal as
pounds. The buyers at competing
points on the Milwaukee line have
overbid the market by cent OF
two, but reckoned a bushel at fifty
pounds which more than accounts
for the difference.
The buyers at Willmar very
stoutly denied that there was any
collision whatever to hold down
prices or grades, and assured the
committee that they would do theil
very best in maintaining the grain
market at Willmar to the highest
notch.
A great deal of misrepresenta,
tion is being INDUCED in by sym
pathizers of some of the smaller
markets in the neighborhood, and
some of the farmers are deceived
by it, but the grower who will
make an impartial investigation
will find that Willmar will do as
we'll with him, if not better thar
competing points.
Willmar city provides splendid
market for all kinds of farmers
produce. The large population
consumes large quantities of butter
eggs, and other produce, enabling
the merchants to pay good prices
for the same.
Here is always a ready market
for anything desirable in the line
of farm ers' produce, while the
smaller towns are obliged to shil
their produce to the cities for ar
outlet. Those who know that they
have the quality in this produce
should not permit themselves to be
deceived about market condition:
at Willmar, but come here and fine
an advantageous marketing point.
The Commercial Club will con
tinue the investigation along thu
lines of the local market, with thu
idea of clearing up misunderstood
ings and assuring Willmar farme
customers the best that is going.

Farmers Buy EXCHANGE

After a good deal Of pickering
back and forth, the Minnesota Cen
trail Telephone Co. and the Farmer
Telephone companies have finally
come to an agreement for the pur-
chase of the exchange at this place.
The price paid was $575, which does
not include the switchboard, but as
the farm ers had already purchased
one this was not needed. The far
mers took possession on the first of

" ashington s Birthday

" ashingt0n s Birthday Is al- ways a memorable day in Pine Bluff. Especially is this true with the school ct<eelren. It gives them a holiday and they are taking advan- tage of 1T too. The skating rinks seem to be the mecca for them, al- though many are attending the per formance at the Efks theater this afternoon. Others are enjoying the day in the country and many others are grasping the opportunity to make mp for lost time' in their studies. But they all know that there was once George Washing ton and they are grateful to him for his extreme thouehtfulness in dying and creating for them an eX- tfa holiday.
 At all events Pine Bluff is enjoy ing Washington Day to the fullest. The banks are closed, all public buildings are deserted, the markets have nothing to offer those who frequent them today and taking all in all Washington Birthday is being as generally observed in this city as elsewhere
