THE EQUITY MEETING


The third annual meeting of the
members of the Forbes Equity Ex-
change and their friends held in the
Forbes Opera House last Saturday
was surely grand success, and
was very largely attended. These
annual meetings of the Forbes
Equity Exchange each year are
looked forward to for good time,
and larger crowd is in attendance
each year.
About 10 o'clock in the morning
they commenced to gather
About II o'clock the matter of
'electing officers for the Farmers
State Bank was taken up. There
were also short speeches made by
T. R. Shimmin and Henry Brand
enberger speaking about the good
features of the new bank and also
the Forbes Equity Exchange.
About noon the large gathering
was invited to the adjoining room
where they were confronted by
several tables laden with good
things to eat, and such nice
spread 10 tempt anyone whether
hungry or not. The seats in the
dining hall were quickly filled and
each one did justice to the nice
edibles before them. As soon as
some got through and had stored
away all they could to satisfy the
inner man, others would come to
fill their places at the tables. 1t
is estimated that between 500 and
GOO people enjoyed this great feast.
During the time music was fur
nished by the Forbes Booster
Band. In the evening nice sup
per was served-and mind you
it was all free.
In the afternoon general busi-
ness meeting of the members of the
Forbes EQUITY Exchange was held.
and also the election of officers for
the ensuing year came up, but BY
acclamation the same officers that
served so we'll the past wear were
reelected. Chas. Mack. the
efficient grain buyer, was also re-
tained as manager.
After which a very nice Juicy
melon was cut and over $4,000,
the past years profit, was prorated
back to its members as to the a.
mount of business each member
did at the elevator. R. G. Wright
was the top notcher-his pro-rate
was $4,000. and Bob felt so elated
over it that he purchased two
boxes of clear Havana cigars anc
passed them around.
The cutting of this fine juic,
melon is certainly source of much
Joy and satisfaction to local farm
ers as we'll as to the business inter
ests of this vicinity. 1t means ovel
$4,000 stays here at home which
would otherwise have gone into tn,
pockets of the wealthy easter
grain dealers. 1t means $1,000
to be spent here in Improvement
to the farms, luxuries and comfort
for our farmers and increasin,
sales for the local merchants.
clearly shows that though cooper
alton the farmer can accomp,is'
much. and that they are capable o
handling large business as we
as trained business men. Durin
the year this elevator handled 22s
600 bushels of grain.

POLISH WOMEN CONVENE TO CONTINUE FIGHT
 FOR POLISH RELIEF

BUFFALO, N. r., Oct. 2.-Leading Polish women of America gathered here today to discuss ways and means of continuing the campaign to secure permission from the ruling European powers to allow food and other re- lief to be sent from the United States to starving Poland
 The failure of a personal appeal by President Wilson to the belligerent powers, made for the Polish Women's Alliance and other Polish organiza- tions, did not discourage the women gathered here today.
 An entire week will be devoted by the delegates of the Polish Women's Alliance of America, in annual con ycntion, in formulating plans they hope finally will result in breaking the blockade against Polish relief.
