ed, an open market will be establish
ed where but one commission will be
charged. Or in other words, any
commission merchant will be able to
receive consigned grain and sell such
grain to the highest bidder regardless
of whether such bidder is a member
of rny grain exchange or not. This
will be as it should be.
Every elevator in the country,
whether owned by farmers or not,
should support the farmers in this
move to free themselves from the
grip of this giant monopoly. If you
are an independent dealer, they
skin you as they have skinned us.
Break the trust and let any man sell
grain either in Minneapolis or else
where, who can give a good and suf-
ficient bond obtain a license from the
state.
The only st%ipulations attached to
my suggestion to discuss this ques-
ton jointly, is that the person who
might wish to engage in such discus
sion must be a person of good stand
ing in his community of recognized
ability to handle this question and of
gentlemanly conduct.

Extravaganza VS.. Economy

If you read automobile advertisements you
have probably heard that there is a war between
the Fours and the Sizes.
There is no war between the Fours and Skies,
but there is a war between extravaganza and
economy.
The Jefery Company introduced the first
Six into the American market. They are build
ing and selling the best -Four and Six that has
ever been made at such a price, or a thousand
dollars more. And your only concern is to
satisfy yourself that the Jeffrey offers a strictly
high grade, economical car of distinctive beauty
and comfort at your price.
We're willing to leave it to you whether YOU
want a -Four or a Six; there's no final rule. and
there never will be.
The best designers are going back to the tyne Of
car that made possible the Big successes 81 fbe
industry. The dominant car of the future will
be the light weight, high grade, economical car.

nssryJchatge that i shall make here,
andI shall not attempt 10 tell half the
STORY, have been verified to me person
nv ~ members Of the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce. No more dar-
ink act or brigadage was ever carried
on ia this country, in my judgment,
thauSthat institution has carried on DUE
inR thu past twenty years. The COM
sbine considered that it absolutely own
ga III it surveyed. II controls the city
81 Minneapolis. and not content with
that last fall, during the state conysn-
tion OF our association, it's hireIings
came to our convention and undertook
to clean us up in the same high-handed
manner that it had been doing in Min
nesota. More than $50 of them were
there under the leadership of its secre-
tary, Mr.. McHugh. And, why? Be-
cause the directors Of hi association
passed q resolution asking u members
70 ship part Of their grain to an inde-
pendent exchange, out side of the in
Huence Of the comhine-an exchange
composed entirely of farmers Of the
northwest.
In the first place, the chamber of COM
merce is an absolute monopoly. and a
closed market to everybody but them
selves. It started 38 years ago with
555 members, but with less than half
the business it has today; its member
ship at the present time is 518. No
person can obtain membership and hold
it except through the consent Of its Of
ficers. No institution of a cooperative
nature would be allowed to hold a mem
bership. II makes it's own rules. 1t
suits it's own will; it fixes the tolls it
should charge the farmers for handling
their grain. without his consent or adj
vice, and then practically says to him,
VI shall sell your grain if it is sold on
this market.
Farmers, do you think that if you
lived near Minneapolis, and you wanted
u buy carload Of grain of any kind
that you could 60 there and buy it on
that exchange? l presume that SO per
cent Of you think so. Why you say
that you ~ go to Sioux City, enter the
stock yards and buy all the cattle you
want. So you can. But you cannot
buy grain on the Minneapolis exchange
that way. Because the plan is to gouge
You ont Of two commissions.
Did you think that when your local
dealer ships : q of grain to a commits
sion merchant 1t Minneapolis. that
that: local dealer can sell that grain
TO sonle other man, not q member Of
the chamber of commerce? OF course
you did. But he cannot. He must sell
that grain to another member of the
combine and then the next fellow may
sell IL 70 m outsider, but the first sale
Ine7er. Do you see where the two COM
missions come in? No consigned grain
can eve be sold upon its sale ex-
sept 10 another member Of the chamber

lanes K. Shook School.

On Friday Dec. IS, the free
term of four months will close.
The reason the free term is only
four months this year is, that the
county has been overdrawing the
school fund four or five thousand
dollars for several years. The
county board decided to try to
cut expenses so as to come out
without an overdraft to carry
each year. There will be some
overdraft this time but not half
so much as heretofore.
The pay term will necessarily
be five months this year instead
of four. The citizens of Tracy
City have ALWAYS maintained a
nine months term as they agreed
to do, and | feel sure this year
will be no exception to the rule.
While times have been very
close for some weeks, due to the
European war, yet things are
getting better everywhere, and
| the men for two weeks now have
had full time at the mines, and
trust this will continue through
the winter.
If times are hard, and the
citizens are compelled to re-
trench in all expenses, let par
ents cut expenses in other things
than in the education of their
children. Every child that is
kept out Of school during the
paw term of five months, which
will begin on Monday, January
4, 1915, will practically lose
whole year, for, with rare ex'
captions, a vacation of s months
after term of only four months
in school will cause the child tt
forget what he learned while il
school.
The tuition will be as last yea
$1.20 for the first grade and p
cents additional for each grad'
, above. There are few, If an.
communities, in which tuition
per month is as low as the rate

above mentioned.
Let every parent plan to start
his children the first day school
opens after the holidays, Mon
day, Jan. 4, 1912, so there will
be no loss.
trust that we may have as
full an ATTENDANCE as we bad last
wear at least. Would it not
speak volumes for the loyalty of
Tracy City to the education of
her children, if the attendance
should be so great that the Shook
School Board would not have to
drop any teacher from the facul-
ty?
Let every parent send his
children on the first day, and If
that is impossible, send word to
the teacher that you will send
later, SO the board may know
whether any teacher or teachers
will have to be dropped from the
faculty.
