was the day of competitive buying.
Less than fourteen years ago if a
farmer wanted moving machine or
a binder or a pillow, two or three ma
chine dealers would have machines at
his place for him to try. We would
have public trials of binders, mowers,
etc, TO determine which machine was
best adapted to the farmers needs.
But today you can drive to market
with load of grain and no one
meets you to bid on your load. You
are not disturbed You can drive
quietly into town and up to the ele-
vator and take a sample of your grain
into the elevator office and ask the
manager what he will give you, and
if he don't just like the sample he
may refuse to buy at any price, just
because the grain is not all number
one, or he may condescend to take
it If you say, please, Mr.. Elevator
man, what are my beans worth to-
day? The farmer is producer, but
as a class he is no salesman. A
salesman displays his goods and sets
his price He never asks what will
you give? If this were a farmers in

c /. SLOCUN ADDRESSES farmers At ELNELL
The Elwe Elevator the Subject of Remarks by James Gar
gett of Sumner, and Address by Grant H. Socum
of Detroit-Captal Stock to be Doubled

AT the Farmers Day celebration at
Elwell last Thursday Mr.. James Gar
get was introduced and outlined the
elevator proposition, giving the his
tory of the movement thus far, ex-
planning the difference between a cor
poration running on straight stock
basis and one on a modified co-opera-
tive plan. He stated that as long as
a man holding one share of stock
had the same rights and privileges
as the man who owned ten shares Of
stock many men were so selfish that
they would BUY only one share of
stock when they were able to buy
twenty or twenty-five and could do
SO with profit
Mr.. Grant II. Slocum of Detroit
was then introduced and prefaced his
remarks by saying that he thought
the people of Elwell should put on
the corner of the next invitation to
public meeting paragraph sug-
gested at a wedding ceremony. At
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1913-03-13

this particular wedding a number of
babies had made themselves very con-
spicuous, and one bridesmaid was tell
ing how deeply mortified she had
felt upon some of the occurrences
and she did not think babies had any
business at a wedding anyway. The
other bridesmaid cordially sympath-
lied with her and turning to one of
the groomsmen said, Il tell you, John,
when | send out our wedding invita-
tons I'll put on the corner, No ba-
bies expected" Amid the roars of
laughter which followed, Mr.. Slocum
suggested that the next Elwell invita-
ton read, "No physicians expected"
He complimented Elwell on having
the finest elevator of any town of its
size in the state and designated the
elevator as the tollgate on the road
to market From the farm to the
distant market the farmer NUT pay
toll But for the nine million dollars
paid to the farmer last year for his
product the consumer has had to pay
double that amount. | claim il is to
the interest of the farmer to control
that tollgate, and it's to the interest
Of the business men OF the town to
have an elevator that gets the far
mers' products in their town for fully
eighty per cent of the money spent

by farmers comes through an ele-

gate on the highway to market, then
it's very important that it's run for
the interests of the farmer, but there
is great rock on this highway which

eighteen years, and that is lack of

He points out that the liar riman interests have raised twelve million dollars to purchase four large ships to be used on the completion of the Panama Canal, but that the di- rectors of the company have now be- come frightened over the proposed laws and will neither raise nor spend another cent on American marine unless they are assured of being all lowed to employ Mongolian help. He states that without them the ships would be absolutely worthless as it is impossible to get American help to do the work properly

DEADLOCK MAY
 LAST FOR MONTHS

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-The election of a Democratic Speaker of the lower house of the Illinois Legislature by more Republican votes than Democrat ic, has put knotty problem up to leaders of all parties.
 Young Speaker McKinley-he is only thirty.two-says he has not en- tered into any deal affecting the two Senatorships. And Governor Dunne says the same thing. Yet there is persistent rumor of a deal. It is said chances of Lawrence Y. Sher- man, Republican winner of the prim- ary, have increased greatly for the long term, and that Charles Boeschen- stein's chances for the short term have improved. Boeschenstein is the Sul- livan National Committeeman. This would leave Col. James Hamilton Lew is, who won the Democratic promary, out in the cold.
 It is admitted that the deadlock will last for months, leaving the State without Senatorial representation in the extra session of Congress.
 "The Democrats" said Roger Sulli- van, twill be together behind Lewis and Boeschenstein. This talk of a Spaakership.senatorship deal between the Democrats and the Republicans is merely foolish gossip"

POSTMASTERS MAY
 SERVE FULL TERMS

A Washington dispatch says: IL is generally understood and believed that it will be the policy of Woodrow Wilson. when he becomes President to allow all Presidential postmasters to serve out their four years terms except in cases where postmasters are shown to be incompetent If this policy be followed, a large majority of the Presidential postmasters will serve for a time under the new admin istration, and will not be disturbed until the close of the four years ten ure
 There are several offices where the terms have already expired, or where vacancies exist and unless the men re- gently nominated by President Taft are confirmed before March 4, such nostmasters will be replaced by Dem ocrats soon after the new administra- ton is inaugurated. The same will he true of postmasters who have served more than four years since the date of their last appointments and have not been renominated.

 POLITICAL TRICK

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 19.- The probability of an investigation in. to the election of Senators William E.. Chiffon and Clarence w. Watson, of West Virginia was materially less ened today. Allegations of bribery end corruption in connection with their election had been made by prom 'nent citizens of West Virginia. Sen
 timent in the Committe on Privileges and Elections seemed to favor thor ough inquiry. The most important of the charges was today withdrawn,
 The cornerstone of the charges rest ed on a statement made by L. J. Shock, a member of the West Vir' cinia House of Delegates, that man named Hamrick gave him $1,OOO with the promise of an additional $1,5OO to vote for Chiffon and Watson. Now Shock writes Watson that his state ment was merely a political trick.

LEGISLATURE MAY
 GET ELKS HAIL

At the meeting of the Elks' lodge tonight. the board of trustees will present the matter of providing a place in which to hold the sessions of Alaska's first legislature.
 While there will undoubtedly be some opposition to the plan of giving up the lodge room and auditorium for the purpose of giving the legislature a place in which to meet, it is thought that with some reservations the Ob- jections can be overcome.
 It is a recognized fact that Elks' hall presents practically the only suit able place in the city and considerable pressure is being brought to bear on the Elks' to offer the building for that purpose.
 The situation is peculiar in that there is no one competent to contract for the meeting place. The matter will have to be settled by the legis, Iative body itself. In the meantime no preparations can be made for the securing of proper furniture such as chairs and desks for the members. It it thought, however, that when the Northwestern arrives many members will be on the ground and that they will take the matter up at once, mak- ing such arrangements that will after ward he ratified by both the legis- latiye bodies.
