''M you would see representation
of the real American woman, l ad-
wise all of you who can to once
make the trip to Washington for the
biennial of the D. A. r." said Mrs.
Squires as she pointed out what a
source of inspiration such a congress
had been to her.

Yesterday afternoon and today they
did not btfy, but will start again
Monday. The Lynard Produce COM
pany has loaded about 1850 bushels
and is still buying.
T The Indian Lake Farmers club is
shipping between twenty and twenty
five thousand bushels, selling them
here to the Posi- Produce company
of P1ainview. The Posi- company
will buy at least twenty thousand
bushels OF private individuals here
also.
Besides these people there are the
local merchants who are laying in
! the supply for the home trade. This
week has shown the first activity
| along this line. There was some
complaint a short time ago among
the farmers that the local people
were not paying the market, but the
grocers say that there was no mar
ket until within few days and that
they could not buy in quantities be-
cause they did not have a price.
The regular market price has been
paid for all potatoes bought.
Situation In Mankato.
The commission houses do not
handle the potatoes because they
have no market for large quantities
and that is true of the local grocers
| as well.
Charles Posi- of Plainview, who is
at the head of the Posi- Produce
! company, in an interview with The
Free Press, said that the condition
of the market in Mankato was the
| same as in other cities of similar
| size. None of the grocers and small
produce men in any of the fifteen
| or twenty towns which he buys in
care to buy potatoes in large quaint.

of his potatoes and ships to Iowa,

lucky and Texas. .,. ..-,.
He said that last year at Plainview
some of the farmers believed they
were not getting the price they
should and began shipping independ-
emily, with the result that at least
half of their potatoes were not sold
| 1.-THE principal trouble with the
farmers" he said, "is that they dc
not grade their stuff They should
ship only first class potatoes, apples
and other, things, and in\ that way
would quickly establish a reputation
for high grade produce" The local
commission men have expressed that
same opinion and are trying to per
suade the farmers to do that.
Mr.. Posi- said that the potatoes
in this locality are even a little bet
ter than around Plainview this year
and expressed his surprise in their
excellency. ~
I One Mankato grocer said yester
day that the grocers here pay an
average of five cents more a pound
for butter and three cents more a
dozen for eggs, than any of the
neighboring towns.
