SELLING DAIRY PRODUCTS

Farmers Should Stand by Their Local
Creamery.
The farmers cooperative creamery,
when properly supported, is certain: to
afford it's patrons a better price for
their cream, in the long run, than can
be obtained in any other way. When
a farmer receives an offer of better
price if he will ship his cream to
some "centralizing' plant, he should
recall the maxim, Beware of Greeks
bearing gifts" For it is practically
certain that the offer is made, to you
and your neighbors, for the purpose Of
forcing your local creamery out of
business. Once it is out of the way,
the central will lower it's prices, and
you will be at it's mercy. Then you
will sorely regret that you did not
stand by your local enterprise.

NO MORE FREE RIDES.
Railroads Propose to Cut Off an Army
of Pass Holders.

Chicago. Sept. 17.-Railroads in the
Western Passenger association, COM
prising the lines between Chicago and
the Rocky mountains, have adopted a
recommendation that after January 1,
1911, no complimentary annual passes
be issued to the officers and agents of
other railways below the rank of as
slstant general passenger agent. This
viii cut off from the privilege the
thousands of general agents, district,
division and travelling passenger agents
and local representatives of the roads
in various cities accustomed to travel
ing free.
The recommendation is contingent
however, on its adoption by the freight
traffic organizations. 1t is considered
1mpracticable to abolish the issuance
of passes to the passenger officials I'M
less the rule is extended to cover
freight officials below the rank of as
sistant general freight agent.

patters under Senator Aldrich and
Speaker Cannon. read Senator AL
bert j. Beveridge out of the Repub-

senator's speech reused the ire of
the reactionarY leaders even more
than the insurgent fight in their
own branch of the legislature.
Furthermore, the White House
took notice of the Indianapolis
gathering, where Senator Beveridge
was the ruling spirit. The president
made no remarks, but Indianapolis
was dropped from the list of towns
to be visited by Mr.. Taft upon his
western trip.
Representative Dalzell was bitter
in his denunciation. He expressed

be beaten and that Indiana will

Look here, Mr.. Land Owner, we
have business proposition for you.
Do you favor having the assess
ment on your real estate trebled?
Are you in favor of paying three
times as much taxes as you pay
now GU your land? If so, you want
to vote the Republican ticket in
Missouri. If not, then vote the
Democratic ticket, At the request
of Gov. Hadley, the Republican
assessor of Jasper county raised
the farm assessments more than
one-third, from % millions to 81
millions. Secretary Roach, Auditor
Gordon and Attorney General Maj
ors were appealed to adjust the
matter and did so. Suppose there
had been Republicans in those
offices. Would the farmers of JAS
per county have obtained relief?
The United States, inspired by Gov.
Hadley, is now trying to force the
Board of Equalization to assess all
farms in Missouri at the market
value. Roach, Gordon and Majors
are fighting the order of the Repub-
lican court. This is just a matter
of dollars and cents. 1t goes into
the Democratic and Republican
pocket book alike. It's up to you,
Mr.. Land Owner, to decide the mat
ter. The Democratic party says
leave the assessment as it is, be-
cause it is producing enough reve-
nue. to administer the affairs of the
state economically and the Demo
cratic members of the Board OF
Equalization, are standing for this
The Republican party says assess
all farm lands at the full market
value, because we want more reve'
nue. -and Gov. Hadley and the Re
, publican courts are standing fol
