One OF the practices which the far
mers object to is the sale of their
consigned grain by the commission
merchant, in competition with grain
owned by the commission merchants.
This practice was shown to exist
among certain commission firms OF
the Chamber at the recent Minnesota
investigation. Every commission firm
which is connected with a line or ter.
minal elevator company is presum.
ably engaged in this practice Such
firms are Van Dusen Harrington Co.,
E. S. Woodwork Co., McCord Co.,
Brown Grain Co.. Gargill Commission
Co., Mccarthy Bros. Co., McCaul Dins.
more Co., Gregory Jennison Co., KEEL
logg Commission Co., Marfield Grain
Co., H. Poehler Co., Nye. jerks Co.,
W. P. Devereux Co., E. l.. WEIGH Co.,
Gould Grain Co., Canton Grain Co.,
and others. If they are not selling
consigned grain in competition with
grain owned by themselves, why are
these firms connected with terminal
or line elevators?
To License Elevators.
The Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission has even gone so
far a. to license many elevators to
do a commission business; and these,
two, are presumably selling their own
grain in competition with consigned
grain. Among the companies so IL
censed to do a commission business
are the Baldwin Elevator Co., Brooks
Elevator Co., Columbia Elevator Co.,
Crown Elevator Co., Dibble Grain and
Elevator Co., Empire Elevator Co.,
imperial Elevator Co., Kasota Eleva-
tor Co., Miller Elevator Co., Mime
kota Elevator Co., Monarch Elevator

HAS FARM ELECTRIC PLANT.

When l.. E. Potter, of Springfield.
Minnesota. recently built a new
house, he did not forget the modern
convenience of electricity.
Instead of leaving the farm and
going to town when he gave up the
active management of his farm. Mr..
Potter turned the entire farm over to
his son, house and all, and built a
new home for himself nearby so he
could retire on the farm he had de-
veloped and where he Knew. every
tree and shrub and flower. Mr.. Pot
ter installed a modern electric plant
on the farm and both houses have
an abundance Of electricity for light.
ing purposes. for small motors. and
the current is carried to the barns
and o%utbuildings which have been
wired for electric lights. eve to the
hay mows. The wiring Of the
house, including the fixtures. cost
about 500. The electric plant is 10.
Gated in the cellar of the old home
and consists of a small gasolene en-
CINE belted to a small electric gener-
ator, or dynamo. The current is
supplied by a storage battery. which
acts as a reservoir of electricity, and
can be drawn upon as wanted. The
gasoline engine is not run until the
stored electricity is about used up.
Besides the convenience Of electric
lighting the current is used to run a
small motor which drives the wash.
ing machine and wri1ger. and for
other purposes. The entire plant
cost less than $500 to install. y

many years of experience In various
branches of commercial life have es-
pecially fitted me to pass upon those
questions that may arise as to the
best needs of our whole country. and
that consequently, I may safely repre-.
sent all classes, al trades and all
emergencies. especially believe the
country should be run on a business
basis, more than on a political one.

When You Need 4 Shave.

When You Need a Shave.
William Hamp run a 'tonsorial par
lor," where they polish up mems APP
pearances. In connection there is a
pool and billiard hall, where you can
take a u and push the ivory balls
over the green felt until you get your
fill. 1t is a large and well-kept place,
and turns in a good revenue to Mr..
Hamp, who has been here for 20 years.
Another barber shop which carries as
a side issue confectionery, soft drinks
and cigars is run by F. P. Taylor. He
has a neat and tidy shop, and an excel
lent confectionery, where all the COM
m0dities of trade are put out in first
class shape.
The Hungry Mans Haunt.
The hotel Oberon, of which r. W.
Bell is proprietor, feeds all the people
who wish to stop and enjoy first-class
service. The hotel has Is clean and we'll
kept guest rooms, and a rate Of 81 a
day. Mr.. Bell does, a grand stand bus
mess because he is the only first-class
house in the town.
Here, in the hotel business, is. a good
opportunity for a young man with a
few hundred dollars. Bell doesn't need
the competition, but the town needs the
hotel. Not that the Hotel Oberon is
not giving the service, for it is. The
hotel is too small for the town. There
is ample business for two.
The Town Bank.
The Bank of Oberon handles the
money transactions of the community.
1t was established in 1901 with a cap
ital stock of $4,000. The deposits
now aggregate $4,000. o. I. Heggge
is the president and S. O. Binde, the
cashier. They advertise "over half a
million responsibility of the stock
holders" 1t is a small bank, but
does a big business.
The Railroad Experiment Plot.
Many of the farmers along the line
are putting in an acre of land accord
ing to instructions from the railroad
company. The railroad gives them the
seed and the preparation to put on the
land, and pays eight dollars an acre
for work and rent, o rgives the farm
er the crop as he chooses. On these
plats the company is experimenting
as to which is the best grain, and
under what conditions it is best grown.
Crop Yield.
The average yield this season in the
vicinity is: Wheat II bushels, Oats IS
bushels, Barley Is bushels and Flax
IA bushels. These are the averages
as quoted by the elevator men.
In General. r
Oberon, though a small town for
its age, is coming rapidly to the front.
1t has some of the finest residences in
the state, and the best business. By
those who know she is hailed as a win

There can be 10 criticism of f.
Smith. Petersen for resigning from the
state board of pardons because he
could not see his way clear to vote
for Bickford's pardon. He followed
the best dictates of his conscience and
is deserving of the respect Of the
community for doing SO. He clearly
showed that no narrow partisan view
governed his acts when he penned
these lines:

MUST RECOGNIZE CONsTITU-
TlONALlSTS.

Mediating without recognizing Villa
and Carranza seems like trying to
put on Hamlet without the melan-
choly Dane among the dramatis per-
sonae.
After Huerta what?
- This seems to be the burning issue
In Mexico just now. Huerta's last
card Is mediation. He has everything
to gain and little to lose; in fact,
his a s Is most desperate and unless
the A. B. G. mediators hurry along,
the Niagara conference may be the
dictator's autopsy.
Huerta suffers by comparison with
Carranza and Villa. The constitution
alists can hardly be blamed for not
wanting to enter the A. B. C. confer
ence on an equality with Huerta.
They have him defeated now, and his
ultimate humiliation and final elm.
dnation from the Mexican situation
cannot be so very far distant.
Just where the mediators are head
ed no one knows. They seemed to
have travelled in circles the last few
days, but it should not be forgotten
that Villa and his forces are travel
ing on Mexico City along as straight
. line as the topography Of the
country will admit.

THE REAL MEXICAN SITUATION.
In considering the objects of the
Mexican Revolution, we must first
understand what kind of people are
revolving. In Mr.. Hamilton Fyfe's
inaccurate book. "The Real Mexico"
he says that this is a revolution of
the middle class. because Francisco
Madero led it. This is a gross mis-
statement Of fact. There is no Mexi.
can midle class. Eighty per cent Of
the population are poems. and ten per
cent more are Spanish aristocrats
and Mexican land owners of almost
pure Spanish blood. The remaining
ten per cent consists of professionals
and small businessmen. mostly DOM
mated by foreign ideas and foreign
employers. The revolution Is simply
and purely a revolution Of the poems.
which has continued, more or less in.
termittently, for four hundred years,
and this particular outbreak was de-
scribed and predicted ten years be.
fore Madero ever thought of leading
1t.
You will say that If eighty per
cent of the population opposed only
ten per ce1t-for the middle class,
except for individuals. has taken no
part in the revolution-it is strange
that they couldn't get what they
wanted. But the poems were not op-
posed by Only ten per cent of the
Mexican people. They were opposed
by the entire civilized world. Por-
firio Diaz Systematically looted the
Mexican people for thirty-five years.
In the first place, he and the cienti-
fico party which surrounded him
sold the national resources of the re-
public to foreigners on the pretext
that foreign capital vas needed to
develop the country, and pocketed
the price. In other words. President
Diaz sold the Mexican people to the
highest bidder.
But, after all, the cheating of the
people out of their rights and their
national heritage did not rankle so
deeply and so long as did the steal
ing of their lands. Slowly and
methodically, the great estates Great
ed originally by the Spanish land
grants absorbed the communal fields
around the villages, the open ranges
and the small farms. BY the land
law of 1896, passed by the influence
Of Diaz himself, all lands in the re-
public not secured by legal title were
thrown open to denunciation by any
one who wished; and since most OF
them sometimes for four generations.
the small farms were worked by
poems whose families had worked
without any question of their tenure
too illiterate to have ever heard OF
titles-it was an easy job for the
land,grabbers. With the aid of Fed
eral soldiers thousands Of poems
were evicted from their homes, with
no choice left but to become virtual
slaves on the big h%aciendas, and no
hope for the future. For instance, II
the San Carlos district, Chihuahua
state, four hundred farmers were
ordered to leave their homes by Don
Luis Terrazas, who already owned
Is, 600, 900 acres of land. When
they refused to do SO, two regiments
of soldiers were sent against them,
and they were shot down in cold
blood. l could give twenty such
cases. but the battle of San Carlos
was "the shot around the world"
The news travelled all over the re-
public like lightning, and five years
later the government Of Porfirio
Diaz fell forever.
