Grain House This Year

George S. Lotus, sales man.
ager of the Equity Cooperative
Grain Exchange announces that a
terminal elevator costing $780,
600 will be built in St. Paul in
time to care for the new crop this
year. This, he says, is the answer
of the followers of the Equity Ex-
change to the North Dakota leg
islature which refused to vote an
appropriation for state owned el
evator in St. Paul.
The executive board of the Eq-
ity Cooperative exchange gather
ed at Fargo Saturday night and
voted unanimously to proceed
with the plans for financing the
project and to build the elevator
in St. Paul.
The members of the board de-
clared that there will be no diff.
6culty in obtaining subscriptions
to the stock of the corporation
which will build the elevator. and
which will be capitalized at about
100000.
They rely on St. Paul aiding
them in procuring a site. They
insist they will be able to carry
the remainder of the cost of the
elevator until it pays for itself.
There is no question of the ell
evator being a paying investment
from the start" said Mr.. LOTUS
There are thousands of farmer.
in Northwest who are members o.
the Equity and who realize that {
terminal elevator here will pay
them a good return on their in

Is for Judges and Jurors to fully ap-

perform their functions earnestly.
