RESULTS IN SALE OF MANY
SHARES 49, WORK OF SOCIETY
EXPLAINED.

The American Society of Equity Ter.
minal Elevator Co. for the states oi
North ami South Dakota and Min.
nesota is now an assured success. The
movement for this organization was
launched at meeting of the directors
last July. Since that time $4,000 has
been raised and it is probable that
before the end of the day $4,000 adj
lditional will be added to this as re-
suit of a meeting which is being held
at Union hall
This meeting was called to order this
morning at 10 o'clock and the hall was
packed with members and visitors who
are here attending the Tri-S State Grain
Growers convention. Theo. G.. Nelson.
of Indianapolis, president of district
union No. ] of the A. s. of r. grain
department, stated that the purpose of
the meeting was to present this matter
of the need of a terminal elevator and
to secure new members for the COM
pany.
He outlined the plan of the corpora
ton. The stock is being sold at par
value for $50 per share. No one man
will be able to hold less than one share
or more than twenty. Members are
required to pay 10 per cent of the
amount in cash and the balance is not
to be paid until the whole $4,000 has
been subscribed
After the whole amount has been
subscribed there will be a meeting of
the stock holders and an organization
will be perfected. AT this organization
meeting one vote will be allowed for
each of the first four shares and one
vote for every two shares after the
first four This plan is only for the or
ganization meeting. After that shares
will be voted ACCORDING. to rules pro-
vided by the constitution and by laws.
Three short addresses were made
this morning with the success of the A.
s. of e. in the past.
Theo. G. Nelson stated THAI ''for the
first time In this history of the United
States here were bumper crops and
bumper prices at the same time He
said, There is no other good cause for
this except the American Society of
Equity"

said that the Equity Grain exchange of

Apples From orannn.

One section of the Corn and Poultr,
show that is visited with great in,
terest by everyone who attends is the
section reserved for the showing OF
Oregon apples.
Here are displayed the lucious fruit
that has made the apple growing Sec
tlons of Oregon famous. To the man
used to farming in these parts of the
country the tremendous profits that
are being made from irrigated farms
and fruit growing seem almost i'm
probable, but the facts cannot be
gainsaid.
The apples SHOWN are the exhibit of
the Umatilla Irrigated Lands Co., of
which ]. S. Green is president, and
in charge of the exhibit. These apples
are worth seeing-don't forget to look
them over.

Away With the Tollgate.
From the Baltimore American.


One of the prob ems which the state
road commission should work out with as
little loss of time as possible IS the elm
nation of the toiigate nuisance. The
delesa alton of farmers residing ong the
Liberty turnpike that appeared pefore
the commission last week declared
through their spokesman: I'VE farmers
want the road built by the state and we
want II done as soon as the commission
can do 1t; but what we want rieht now
is some plan whereby the tollgates will
be minated The tollgate ou5ht never
to have been; 1t was bad scheme In its
incipiency and certainly the time has
come when every road In the state should
be public highway in fact as well as in
theory. In the argument made before
the state road commission for the speedy
taking over .of this long-standing toll
route known as the Liberty road. it was
stated that there is property ong that
road not two miles from the city which Is
not paying one-haIf Of l. per cent There
can be no doubt whatever that the toll
road system has operated to the dis
enlargement of farming enterprise and to
the depression of farm values. 1t has
imposed troublesome and obnoxious tax
upon every farmer every time he has de-
livered a load of produce to his nearby
market.
