something happened to upset
their equilibrium and they pro-

some but nothing serious and then
they reduced that disk to kindling

SHOULD ORGANIZE.
Farmers Should Get Together,
and "SticlS, Brother, Stick"

Editor Message 1t has often
been said that the farmers cannot
organize, that they will never stay
together, which is often only too
true. But | wish to call the at
tention of your farmer readers to
the Independent Harvester Co. of
Plano, ILL.,, a corporation of farm
ers organized for the purpose of
manufacturing their own farm
machinery, which started about
seven years ago in a small way
with a small shop, and one acre of
ground. II has grown to a mem
bership of over 27,000 farmers.
Their factories extend for rs of a
mile along the C.. b. & Q. r. r.,
with floor space of more than
100000 square feet. They first
employed six men, now they have
several hundred employees and
manufacture more than 20 differ
ent kinds of farm implements and
machinery.
There have been attempts made
to discredit The Independent
Harvester Co, but they have all
fallen fiat, | am in receipt of a
report made and signed by 26 of
our largest stockholders from
dozen different states in
which they say: "After having
been afforded every opportunity
for fair and impartial invstiga-
tion of the affairs of Independ-
ent Harvester Co, we feel sure of
its stability and have the utmost
confidence in the management.
We have voluntarily made this
investigation for our own salts
faction, as large stockholders,
and we submit this report for the
benefit of our fellow members
and trust it will be given the
widest publicity among the mem
bers of the country and all others
who may be interested. "
also hold a report of 152 of
the business and professional men
of Plano, ILL.,, in which they say
1--WE hereby congratulate the
president, officers, managers, and
stockholders upon the rapid ad-
vancement of the Independent
Harvester Co. and the City of
Plano upon the fact that said cor
?oration is operating in its
midst" "
Missouri has her share of the
stockholders of the Independent
Harvester Co., but why cannot
he farmers of the good old state
get together and manufacture
their own farm machinery, in.
stead of paying the Trust from
100 to 200 per cent profit? In
sure their own property, get bet
er acquainted and bring about a
better feeling generally?

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Make the Record True.

A lawyer of long practice in the
Vermont courts suggests that the
figures recent compiled by someone
showing a large proportion of reversaIs
by the supreme court Of superior court
udgments-Which figures have been
the basis of considerable comment by
the state press-may be misleading if
not further explained. The number of
cases that go up to the higher court on
exceptions or appeal does not. of
course, include the very large number
heard and adjudged in superior court
in a manner so satisfactory to all
parties concerned that litigation ends
at that stage. To arrive at a fair
basis Of comparison with the record Of
the old system, more figures are
necessary than those in the table
referred to. 1t would be interesting,
if not altogether conclusive, to have
this matter looked up in detail. Ran

Bank COMMISSIONER Report.
Mr.. Editor !:


On my return from three weeks
trip in the west, making an examina-
ton of the investments there by
Vermont banks. | note editorial
reference in your paper to the complaint
of some correspondent of the Burling-
ton Free Press. that the Bank Com
missioner report did not show the
amount invested by Vermont banks
outside the state.
Evidently the correspondent saw
only the abstract of the report printed
by the newspapers some time ago,
which is only a small part Of the
complete report, as the newspapers
cannot afford to print the whole report
without compensation. Bulletin No.
II, which was sent to all the news
papers recently, shows the amount of
investments in Vermont and outside of
Vermont, in the different classes of
securities. The report is now in the
hands of the printer, and when issued
any citizen of Vermont who desires,
can have copy by writing the Bank
Com nissioner's Office Beside the
reports of the standing Of each bank,
the report has fifteen tables of stats.
tcs which will no doubt be interesting
to this correspondent and other people
Yours truly,
F. C. Williams.
