Dear Sir:

This organization aims to promote
and stimulate the growth of the town:
the surrounding country and keep in
touch with methods and ideas which
will help to make Halliday a better
and greater town for both CONNER
cial and business activity.
Above all, it Is mindful of the fact
that inasmuch as the growth of the
town depends entirely upon the pros,
perity OF the farmers, the club will
welcome the farmers to be members,
extending its fullest cooperation and
will not miss an opportunity to do all
in its power for the betterment Of
agricultural conditions. .
1t is an organization which was not
called into existence for the advance
ment Of some personal gains or ego

Editor Tribune,
Bismarck, N. D.. H.,
Dear Sir, Iwant to thank you for
the aid you are giving the producers
of Minnesota and North Dakota
through: your paper, by helping them
in their attempt to establish a free
and open market. 1t seems strange
to us that, while the Minneapolis
mills refuse to buy wheat in. Minneap-
oils, from the warmers or through
their selling agency, the Equity Co.
operative exchange, they should make
such a strenuous effort to prevent the
removal of the Equity exchange to St.
Paul: ~. IT q
1t does not look consistent on their
part. and the only conclusion l can
draw from their action in this matter
Is that they must have some selfish
motive in fighting the removal. .

The brass bands play The Girl i
Left Behind Me-" Eut there is an old
song that might we'll take its place.
1t is the song the French girl, Jean
cite, sings to her soldier lover, Jean
not, as he leaves for the war. It's
last lines are:
Oh! If ! were Queen Of France,
Or, still better, Pope of Rome,
| would have no fighting men abroad,
No weeping maids at home;
All the world should be at peace,
Or If kings must show their might,
Why, let those who make the quar-
rels : ~. -.'
BE the only men to fight;
Yes, let those who make the quarrels
Be the only one to fight.
