Farmers Meeting.

Mr.. R. HI. Aldrich, National Lee
turer in the American Society of
Equity wishes to meet the farmers
and business men of this vicinity in
the "Jewel Electricn Show Hall on
Tuesday at 2 O'Clock, Jan, %, to ex-
plain the principles and accomplish
ments Of this society, with view to
form local organization. The mem
bers affirm that marketing co-opera-
lively benefits producers and con-
sumers alike; that numerous and use-
less middlemen should not compel
consumers to pay unfairly high prices
and farmers to take unfairly low
prices as in the past. The best in
terests of farmers and town people
are mutual. The latter favor the fair
division of profits to farmers know
ing they will ask for less credit, buy
better goods and prosperity will en-
duce more settlement of sons and
daughters on the countryside" in
stead of in cities. The lecture is free
and farmers and their families are
cordially invited.

The Ladies Aid.

The following poem was read by
Mrs. w. T. Sobey at the meeting of
the Congregational Ladies' Aid lass
week:
We've put a fine addition on the good
old church at home,
It's just the latest killer, with a gallery
and dome.
It seats a thousand people-fines
chuEch in all the town.
And when twas dedicated, why wa
planked ten thousand down;
That is, we paid five thousand every
deacon did his best
And the Ladies' Aid society, it pro-
missed all the rest.
We've got an organ in the church
very finest in the land,
It's got thousand pipes or more, i6s
melody is grand,
And we sit in cushioned pews, salba
hear the master play,
It carries us to realms of bliss UNI
uumO6r6u mIlGS away.
1t cost cool three thousand, and itB
stood the hardest test;
Well pay thousand on 1.-THE Lad
ies' Aid the rest.
They'll give hundred sociables, can
tatas, too, and teas;
They'll bake thousand angel cakes
and tons of cream they'll freezep
They'll beg and scrape and toll and
sweat for seven years or mora.
And then they'll start all DER agaiHa
for carpet on the floor.
No; it isn't just like digging ont tina
money from your vest,
When the Ladies' Aid gets busy arid
says, Gwen pay the rest.''
Of course, we're proud of our big.
church, from pulpit up to spires
It is the darling of our eyes, the croWE
of our desire.
But when I see the sisters work to
raise the cash that lacks,
I somehow feel the church is built on
women's tired backs,
And sometimes I can't help thinking
when we reach the regions
blest, a-sa.f.
That men will get the toll and sweat
and the Ladies' Aid-the rest,

Do Good Work or None.

You are learning trade, my boy.
That is good thing. It is better than
gold-brings a large premium. But to
bring premium the trade must be
perfect-no plated silver affair. When
you go to learn a trade do so with the
determination to win, to be at the head
of the line. to depend upon yourself
for position and holding it. Make up
your mind what you will be, and be it.
Do not whiffle around, but hold your
upper lip close down and labor for the
future. Determine in your mind to be
a good workman or let the job out

A Lesson in Cooperation.
By E. J. Oppliger, Hancock,
Minnesota.
Director of Organization.
Minnesota.

Thirty five farmers of Hancock ter
ritory joined together last March and
formed the "Hancock Wool Growers
Association" and joined the Minneso-
ia Wool Growers Association, of
which Magnus Brown, of Pennington,
Is president. The annual dues of our
local association are fifty cent. We
hold two meetings per year. We
bought our own wool twine and packs,
thereby alone saving more than our
annual dues. We did our business
through the State Association and at
one time were offered 29c for our wool
and accepted, but another local as
sociation refused to sell and the
buyer refused to take any unless he
could get all of the wool. Then the
market dropped and two of our mem
bers got sick and sold their wool at
23c, which was the highest offer that
had been made by local buyers up to
that time. The rest of us stood pat,
and President Brown brought us
Philadelphia buyer, who paid us 27e
for all merehantabie wool. And It was
nearly all of this class. One of our
members who had 300 lbs. was busy
stacking and afterwards received but
24c, which was the highest price we
heard of being paid in this vicinity
outside of the price paid the associa-
tion. Some of the parties in the little
towns surrounding Hancock received
but 18 to zoe for wool equally as good
as ours. (Our wool all grades semi
brightly a"..' .s .......
We had but one carload of wool
and saved by being joined together
at least $500 and from bids some of
our members got, would have made
$11OO to $1,000 difference. We have
members who have ten sheep and one
who has between five hundred and
six hundred. It saved the "little
sheep man" at least So and probably
more, and the "big sheep man" 1915
and up to double that amount.
At our town there is also Farmers
Cooperative Elevator which is sue
cess and of which will write at some
other time; but what I want to i'm
press on you is this: Cooperate as
much as possible. Learn to do your
own business and do not pay the deal
er all the profit to which you are en-
titled, for doing business for you.

The Stone Tree,

There is tree which grows in Mexi-
co called the "chijol," or stone tree.
1t is of enormous proportions, both in
circumference and height 1t has a
number of branches spreading out
widely and carrying leaves of a yel-
lowish green color. The wood is ex-
tremely fine and easily worked in a
green state. 1t is not given to either
warping or splitting. The wonderful
part about it is that after being cut
the wood gets gradually harder, and
in the course of a few years it is alb
solutely petrifed, whether left in the
open air or buried in the ground. From
this timber houses can be built that
would in few years become complete
ly fireproof and would last as though
built of stone.

R. Q. Dunn, as all know and as he
himself does not deny, is at least re-
ceptive candidate for governor. Pre-
sumably it was in the interest of this
candidacy of his that he recently made
a pilgrimage to Duluth. He was al
ways strong in st. Louis county. He
has done nothing to forfeit the con-
fidence of it's voters. Indeed, if any,
thing the course he took with refer
ence to the tonnage tax has strength
ened him. He may have intended
that it should, as it is not his custom
to pass up any bets. At all events he
thought he'd look the ground over.
He found his friends, who were merely
ordinary citizens, as jealous and as
enthusiastic for him as ever. When
he got through visiting among them
he met during the evening some of the
big fellows, and in st. Louis county
by the "big fellows' is always meant
those politicians who do the talking

| fidence generally in an unusual de-
gree.
Mr.. Griggs, the first vice president,
is prominent st. Paul jobber, and has
also for many years taken an active
part in the management of the fair.
Mr.. Stillwell, the second vice presi-
dent, is a Minneapolis man. He was
the choice of the Minneapolis CONNER
cial club. He is in the paper busi-
ness-that is in the business of selling
printing, writing, wrapping and other
papers. He has not before been prom
inently connected with the State fair
and in that respect is untried. Mr..
Craig, elected to succeed Mr.. Under
wood on the board of managers, is
| from Duluth. He is a real estate deal
er who owns farms and raises stock.
Mr.. Sivright, of. Glencoe, elected to
succeed D. S. Hall, is an agricultural
implement dealer. He is the first
among the gentlemen mentioned to be
specially prominent in politics. He is
Republican and member of the
Republican State central committee.
He is widely known and is everywhere
held in high regard, F. W. Murphy
of Wheaton, who was appointed
member of the board of managers to
fill the unexpired term of the late
Dean Liggett, was elected to succeed
himself. Thomas Garfield of Lake
Park was chosen to succeed VIM. E.
Lee. He is what the cattlemen call
short-horn man, and was formerly
president of the Minnesota Live Stock
Breeders association. The other
members of the board who hold over
are Robert Crickmore of Owatonna
and James Atchison of Mankato.
Among the men who took prom
inent part in the proceedings of the
convention was j. F. Jacobson of Lac
Qui Parle. He displayed all his old
time vigor, hard-headed common
sense and readiness in debate.
Judge Douglas, formerly attorney
general, was there. He rather seemed
to fall foul of the decision alleged to
have been made by Attorney General
Simpson that delegates present could
not vote proxies. It transpired during
the course of the proceedings that
some of the county agricultural boards
in electing delegates to the conven-
'tion specially authorized by resolution
the delegates who attended the con-
vention, if other members were alb
sent to cast the full vote of the del
egation. Relying OH the opinion of
the attorney general and the interpre-
tation of the law given by an attor-
ney who attended the meetings of
the committee on credentials, that
committee disregarded the instructions
and refused to allow any votes to be
cast except by delegates present. APP
peal was made to the convention, and
when the matter came up Judge Doug
las said it was unprecedented thus to
disregard the instructions of the con-
stituent society-that he took issue
with the Interpretation of the law re-
jecting proxies thus provided for, and
that he would like to hear the attor-
ney who held an opposite view quote
the law which authorized him to re-
fuse to allow delegate to cast the
full vote of his delegation if instruct
ed to do so. There are some who
think Judge Douglas opinion on this
matter of quite as much weight as
that of Attorney General Simpson.

and the manipulating for the steel
trust. This is the way they put it:
"Why, certainly, Bob, if you are a
candidate we are for you. You might
have known that we would not go
back on you. But really, you know,
the situation is ticklish one, and we
would great deal rather that you
wouldn't be candidate this year. Of
course, if you insist we will see what
we can do, but it would suit us a
great deal better if you wouldn't push
your claims, and so on and so on.
All the big fellows had the same estory
to tell. AS consequence Mr.. Dunn
went back to Princeton a good deal
discouraged, so am told. He can see
as far through hole in griDdstone
as the next one, and the way he fig
ured it out was that the big fellows
had decided to send delegation down
to the convention to help nominate
Governor Eberhart, to whom they are
under some obligations and from
whom they expect further favors, and
that it was no use kicking against the
pricks. From all of which I judge
that whatever the Biwabik Times
may think, practical politicians who
know still figure that in st. Louis
county the high moguls have no real
intention of loosening their grip on
the political machine.

From the people who have come
down from the north to attend the
annual meeting of the State Agricul-
tural society learn, that locally to the
Eighth district at least there is a de-
cided inclination on the part of the
iron interests to coquet with the
friends of county option. There are
evidences that the iron people are
now inclined to think they made a
mistake in tying up with the liquor in
terests at the last session and are
willing to make amends by entering
into compact with the friends of
county option looking to the enact
ment of temperance legislation and
the abandonment of the agitation on
the part of its southern Minnesota
temperance friends of the movement
for tonnage tax.

AS to other political matters the
only contest which shared at all gem
erously in public interest with State
fair politics was that for State auditor.
There are three still sufficiently well
defined candidates: those of Sam. "
erson, the present incumbent, Bob
Wells of Breckenridge and A. W.
Thompson of Preston. At the close
of his present term Iverson will have
held State Office continuously for
twenty four years, and that fact is be-
ing freely used to his discredit. Just
now Wells and Thompson are working
along parallel lines and have friend
ly understanding. One cannot tell of
course what progress is being made;
but if one judged only from the talk
heard this week at the hotels he
would be inclined to conclude that
Iverson was being eliminated.
