very much excited when he reached
the st. Paul office, over stories being
spread in the country by former en-
ployee of the Equity Exchange, who
was discharged for gambling, drink
ing and passing bad checks. After
looking into the merits of the charges
made, he left for home resolved never
again to believe any of the stories
spread by representatives of the grain
combine until after, he had the facts
from first hands.
S. S. Simmington Of Crosby, N. d.,
an old reliable Equity standby, and
Peter Peterson of Overland, Canada,
were on the South St. Paul market
with stock Monday. They made their
headquarters in the Equity Exchange
office in St. Paul while here, and they
are very much pleased with the fact
that the farmers are going to estab-
lish their own selling agency in South
St. Paul on Oct. l.
Mrs. Amley Robinson of Pekin, N.
D., has been mentioned before as the
first woman stakeholder to purchase
and pay for the limit of stock, 81 900.
Recently Mrs. Robinson wrote to the
Exchange requesting the privilege of
buying more stock, but being refused
this privilege, she has this week writ
ten to the Exchange asking if it would

met his old friends, D. E. Blake and j.
G.. Critics, the general manager.

Mr.. VIM. Lemke, chairman of the re-
publican central committee of the
state of North Dakota, was pleasant
caller at the st. Paul office Monday.
Mr.. Lemke has long been staunch
supporter of the Equity Cooperative
Exchange and always has been ready
and willing to help fight it's battles in
a legal way. His efforts for the Ex-
change have helped them out of many
a tight place, and he will always be a
most welcome visitor at the St. Paul
Office.
Mr.. F. E. Ellickson, editor and pub
Usher of the newspaper at Regent, N.
D., was a pleasant caller at the St.
Paul Office last Saturday. Mr.. Ellick-
son came to get acquainted with the
Farmers Selling Agency, and before
leaving St. Paul was convinced that
the farmers are on the right track and
will win out in their efforts to estab-
lish grain and livestock markets.
Mr.. G. A. Baisner Of Velva, N. D.,
was on the South St. Paul market with
livestock the past week. Mr.. Baisner
is one Of the old standbys in the Equi-
ty movement and has been frequent
visitor in the St. Paul Office. He was

Stock Tons Market

j. S. Sullivan of Lisbon, N. D., was
on the South St. Paul market Monday
with carload of cattle that topped
the market for the day. Mr.. Sullivan
is an old hand in the stock game and
is raising quality of stock that
should stand near the top on any mar
ket at any time. He visits the South
St. Paul market frequently and on
this trip made his headquarters at

thus get in closer touch with the or
ganization here. This move on the
part Of the Montana farmers means a
large amount of business for the Equi-
ty Cooperative Exchange from that
source.
Mr.. Anderson reports that the crop
in Montana is as good or better than
early predictions would indicate, and
that the farmers are feeling very jubi-
liant over the fact that this years crop
will put them on their feet financially
and will very materially increase the
price of Their land.
Mr. Anderson also reports that the
car shortage in Montana at the pres
ent time is very serious. Many sta
tions are unable to get busy very

cars they should have in order to move
this years crop before winter sets in.

BRAIN FOOD OR POISON?

Pleading for more wholesome
reading for the home circle, James
l.. Pinkston says in Farm and Home
not all people realize the value of a
good, clean, wholesome newspaper
o: magazine in the home. Parents
who are very exacting about their
children's clothing and other phys
ical needs, and who take great pains
in selecting good companions for
them, often go far astray in not Sc
lecting the reading.
OF course, dime novels and other
such trash are excluded from the
home, and the children have no de-
sire for any such matter, yet read
news and advertisements in the
daily or monthly papers that come
under their notice, which do equally
as great damage as the trash
would.
A great many of our newspapers
and magazines are excluding patent
medicine, whisky and obscene adj
vertising from their columns, and
the move is a good one. If you
haven't examined your reading Ia
bic, do so at once and use up the
black roller of censorship freely.

Hard Luck Miles

Unlucky old Miles Poindexter,
who was so unfortunate as TO lose
an invitation to dine with Inc
Young Mems Republican Club u
Bellingham, seems to have Jared
worse in the returns than The Trlb-
une predicted. The Tribune prophe-
sled that the hapless candidate
would receive only the entire Re-
publican vote, the total Progressive
vote, nine-tenths of the Democratic
vote, together with a paltry ten or
twenty Thousand of the Socialist
ard Prohibition vote. Unfortunate
Miles seems to have been abe 10

entably when it came to winning
TIE rest of the voters. He ipped

Of fifty or sixty thousand!

known restaurant for luncheon. We
got a table next to that occupied by
pair of fellows whom I have 'kidded'
numerically in times past. In mo

severe It may be on them, to my wife

The Right Road.

The right road is a long road.
And at times Ii may be rough:
But don't leave 1t for the wrong road
That is paved with sham and bluff.
And don't mistake the smiling
OF the men who travel there;
Or the gold that they are pilins,
AS sign that all is fair.
For beneath the jewels shining
And the pleasures they possess,
And behind their hours of winning.
There is fearful loneliness.
Though the road that they are taking
Seems a splendid thoroughfare,
Hearts for honest joys are aching,
And the lives they live are bare.
There are rough spots in the right road
There are dangers grim to face;
And it's often not bright road,
But it's free from all disgrace.
And it's lined with friends to love you,
And its joys are of the best:
And when stars come out above you,
With conscience clear you rest.

Mr.. Ledger, proprietor of the London
Era and clever journalist. to enter
tain the theatrical celebrities of the
day at dinner and to commemorate the
occasion by some Lucullan freak.
He once had eighty strawberry plants
carefully nurtured in pots so that at
dessert he might say to his guests,
each opposite Il blooming strawberry
plant. Now. my dear friends, gather
your own fruit
The dinner had progressed finely to
the dessert when the service seemed
slow. Ledger cried to his man:
Come. come. The dessert!

McAdoo Asks S135,OOO To Be Spent At New York. Gold Medal For Discovery Of Cure, Urged
[ey Review Leased Wire.l ]

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Secreta- ry /McAdoo today asked congress to appropriate S135,OOO for the public health service to aid in the fight a. gainst the infantile paralysis epidem- ic in New York and to prevent its spread to other states.
 Of the sum asked, S5O,OOO is to be used for the purpose of surgeons of the service in New York and the re- mainder to prevent interstate spread of the disease.
 Dr. w. C. Fucker, who has been in active command of the fight against the epidemic, believes it will cost a. bout S1O,00O a month for the work of the service alone.
 President Wilson today signed the Siegel resolution permitting the use of hospital facilities at the Ellis Is- land immigration station for the New York victims of infantile paralysis.
