The farm demonstration column in
THE AMERICAN this week is of espec-
al interest. not only to farmers, but
to the women OF Ellsworth and OF the
county.
Hancock county has taken the lead
In a new movement for better farm
ing-the organization of a County
Farm Bureau or Advisory Council,
composed of business men from va
rious sections of the county, organ
lied to cooperate with the county
farm agent for the advancement Of
the agricultural interests of the
county.
That Hancock county is first in this
movement is due to the hustling but
modest farm agent, George N.
Worden, who takes little of the credit
to himself. The matter was discussed
ut the recent convention at Orono,
farm demonstrators reporting the
need of some such county organiza-
tion. The matter received hearty en-
couragement from the agricultural
department of the university. MIR.
Worden got busy, and Hancock coun-
ty win have the first County Farm
Bureau in the State.
ssDo it for Hancock county, is the
motto of the new organization.

The New York Herald has lust
compile ted country wide canvass to
ascertain the status of the progress
sive party to-day. Summing up the
result of this canvass. it says: "In
but two states--Csiifornia and Wis
consin - does the party show any
signs OF remaining in the field, and
in the latter the signs are rather list
less. In all others IL is discouraged
and disintegrating. A canvass OF
thirteen states which together, in
1912, cast more than 2,5oo, 900 pro-
gressive votes, indicates unquestion.
ably that the progressive party is
likely to follow the melancholy foot
steps of the liberal republicans OF
1872. Prominent republicans who
gave literally to the progressive
party see only continued interference
with successful business by further
aiding the Bull Moose

Administration officials scoffed At
the report that Capt. Robert Dollar,
president Of the Dollar steamship
linos, was going to dispose of his
vessels because the seamen's bill.
which goes into operation November
4, would make the operation Of these
lines Improbable. Now comes the
report that Capt. Dollar has sold two
of his vessels-one to Chinese, and
the other TO a British Arm and
negotiations are under way for the
sale of a third. This will leave the

steamer flying the American dag in

THE STATES

St. Paul papers scent victory too
soon for the Equity in the case
brought to protect the farmers Of this
state. Judge Pollock's decision is not
final. The state is in full accord with
his viewpoint and in fact consented
to allow the matter to 90 over until
September.
But the state won a signal victory
when the officials of the Equity CO.
operative Exchange consented in open
court to allow the legal department OF
the state to examine the books and
records of the company. Now it will
be possible to go to the root Of the
matter and establish beyond a perad-
venture the true status Of the alleged
cooperative grain exchange.
Owing to the refusal Of the Equity
10 lclu W liz uCIlldlIuo VI tIlS ololS
for a thorough examination of the OK,
changes records and books; it be
came necessary to seek data from EN-.
ployes of the exchange and other par.
ties having some connection with the
corporation.
The state is now in a position to go
into every transaction of the Cooper.
alive Exchange and analyZe the situa.
ton from data which the Equity Off.
Gals cannot dispute or cayil over.
This is the states victory which
the St. Paul papers have overlooked.
Pollock's decision is but a prelim.
mary step in the action.
1t is no time to jump at conclu-
siOns.
Attorney General Linde is in this
action to the finish and he is there
as a friend of the farmer, not as an
advocate Of the Minneapolis grain
trust, as the st. Paul papers 50 flip
PANTY deduct. .....
The fight is not against the Farm.
ers' Equity Cooperative Exchange, it
is against the Observation-Disclosures
management, which upon the states
showing to date smacks nightly OF
selfish exploitation.
This is the trio Linde is after, not
the farmers selling agency.
