Farmers Elevator Projected.
Stock Company Organized for
New Warehouse.

Mr.. N. c. Crawley, State organi-
ger of the A. S. of E., addressed the
farmers of this vicinity Friday after
noon and evening and also Saturday
afternoon. On Friday afternoon
the speaker lectured on the Nation
al Equity Exchange in which he
showed how all farm produce can
be marketed through an exchange
system. The plan suggested was
to have series of exchange stations
at the trade centers all of which are
to be in touch with one another, and
thus a market can be furnished for
the smallest details of production
from the handling of grains and
perishable produce to the market
ing of live stock. AS this does
away with boards of trade, commits
sion houses, gambling and specu-
lating on farm produce, it means an
annual saving of millions to the
producer and consumer for in this
way the produce goes almost direct
ly from producer to consumer and
middlemen are dispensed with, and
the profits accrue to the consumer
and the producer.
Mr.. Crawley said it was time for
the farmers to act and not be con-
trolled by the present system of
marketing farm produce, and the
only way a combine can be over
come is to make larger one, and
crush the other. He claimed the
farmer had the goods and the only
way to throw off the letters of mid
d1emen and commission merchants
was to organize against them, then
producer and consumer would get
their own. The speaker also said
that one of the first things the far
mers needed was a local warehouse
and that River Falls should, and
must Of necessity own and maintain
one, in order to see results. He
said the A. S. of E. was here to
stay and had been recognized by
the greatest thinkers of the nation
as the greatest movement of the
century.
1t was urged that the A. S. of E.
locals of this vicinity should organ
ize warehouse stock company, and
accordingly at the Saturday after
noon meeting a committee was
chosen to draft a form to cir
culate as a subscription for ware
house sock, and report to the meet
ing assembled. The report of the
committee was read and accepted.
1t called for a capitalization of $4,000
with shares at SIS each, with limit
of ten shares to any one member.
All stockholders shall be members
of the A. S. of E. and no stock can
be transferred without the consent
of the board of directors. At the
close of the meeting stock to the
amount $4,000 was subscribed by
the local A. S. of E.
Mr.. Crawley is a very forcible
speaker and is we'll informed on his
work. He knew his ground and
challenged any person TO refute his
statements.

River Falls is again in the race as
a winter resort, nice bright weather
for week now and no clouds in
sight yet. Was the ground hog
mistaken?
A weary but happy looking crowd

sonality and who has had consider
able mercantile experience. Mr.,
Allard has been a member OF the

speak for the new firm that liberal
patronage and success which good
management and square dealing
won for the old one.

Mr.. Scott's mother succumbed to cam
Ger, the hour of her death being at just
6 o'clock. At the same hour on Thurs
day of the recent production's run,
Mr.. Glaciers mother died from the

of both deaths was the fact that the
sons were utterly unable to find a
substitute and had to play their regu-
lar Thursday matinee. as If nothing
had happened, despite their heartache.
