That great reforms may be

they may know the facts and
that a remedy is within their

Nj. Weeks says: producing
the food of the cou ntry is the
greatest business in the world,
but the farmer has always
been handicapped in his busi.
ness for the reason that he has
always been compelled to pay
a much higher rate of interest
for borrowed capital than any
other great industry. There
fore he is in favor of and will
work for a system of rural
credits that will enable the

low rate of interest.
1t is a fact that the prices OF
farm products are manipulated
by Board Of trade gambling to
the extent that the producer is
deprived of a large share of his
legitimate profits. and he adj
vocates and will work for Ma
tional legislation prohibiting

program in the interests OF
yourself.

Liburn L. Stair was born III
the state of Virginia in the
year 1872. He spent his youth
and early manhood on his
fathers farm in the Old Domi.

Mr.. Stair came to North Da
kota in 1889, locating at Botti.
neau where he spent the first
two years of his residence in
this county, after which he re-
moved to his farm near New.
burg where he has since resid.
ed. As a farmer Mr.. Stair has
proved m If an eminent sue
cess. developing one of the
finest homesteads in the coun.
ty. He is a man possessing
the most progressive ideas in
practical farming and his farm
shows the adoption of many
modern ideas. Mr.. Stair is not
only progressive in practical
farming but he has devoted
much thought and study to
rural economics. He early saw
the unequal and unfair position
in which the farmer has been
forced and has applied. his
great energy in trying to device
some means whereby the con-
dition of the farmer might be
improved. As a result of his
study he has become an out
spoken advocate of co-opera-
tons among the producers, and
as a means of reaching the de-
sired ends at the earliest posi-
BILE moment he has become an
active working member of the
so-called Society of Equity, and
is pushing with all his might
the teachings and reforms of
this great band of farmers.
Through this organization
the producer will be able to
deliver the product of his farm
to the open market.
At the June primary Mr..
Stair was nominated as the
candidate of the democratic
party for the Office of senator
from Bottineau county. The
people are to be congratulated
on the opportunity of casting
their ballot for a man who re-
presents the material interests
of the farmer and business
man. Mr.. Stair is a democrat
from principal but not a parti-
san. the party label has had no
attraction for him unless the
candidate possessed tin 0 8 e
principles which are dear to
him. His one ambition is to
be able to be of some service
to the people and lending his
influence and efforts toward
