EQUITY PAYS STOCK
HOLDERS A DIVIDEND

\ Albert Anderson was down
from Coleharbor Saturday on
legal business. Mr.. Anderson
has lived i'm this state thirteen
years and keeps right up to the
times on everything that. is
doing even if he lives on farm.
/ Mr.. Anderson is a hard worker
in the Equity company and knows
what the farmers are up against.
He recently received a dividend
from the company on the stock
he holds and gave us the follow
ing letter that accompanied the,
check:
Equity Exchange,
st. Paul, Feb. II, '16
Fellow Stockholders:
The directors of your corpora
tion at our last meeting, which
was held at Fargo, January 18th,
voted to declare a cumulative
dividend Of 8 per cent on all
capital stock issued prior to Aug
ust l, 1915, and same was order
ed to- be paid February 1st. In
accordance Herewith, we have
paid said. dividend. You will
find your check inclosed here
with. You should receive 8 per
cent on your stock from date of
issue up to August 1st, 1915. If
we have made an error in com
putting said dividend or interest,
kindly advise at once, and :or-
rection will be made.
This is the first dividend that
your corporation has ever paid
to stockholders, and it was earn
ed in five months. From the
balance sheet and profit and loss
statement, which we are inclos-
ing herewith also, you will note
that in five months, beginning
with August 1st, our net earn
ings were $4,000, which permit
ed us to charge off Che deficit,
make allowance for doubtful ac-
counts, and still have surplus to
pay Idividends. This proves that
the grain commission business Is
a profitable one. 1t is, in fact,
so profitable, that if we were a
stock dividend paying corpora
ton only, (that is, not cio-operat-
i've and not paying a patronage
diwdend)w we could OH the present
volume of business declare and.
pay dividend of 10 per cent on
the capital stock each month. 1t
is little wonder then that. the old
line commission and elevator
companies have fought your cor
poration as bitterly as they have.
We are. about to- begin the
construction of the elevators Of
which you have heard SO much.
With this elevator completed, our
earning capacity should be in
creased many-fold.
We trust that henceforth. you
will make increased efforts TO-
wards selling the capital stock
Of your corporation, in order
that we may have more money
to use in the business.
Thanking YOU for your splendid
support an the past, We are,
Yours truly,
Equity Cooperative Exchange,
J. NJ. Anderson.

vice Education Board Will
Look After Books.

The board OF education has de-
cided that in future IL will supply
the pupils Of the public schools with
all the books and supplies necessary
in their tuition. This step has been
taken in view OF the unsatisfactory
service that has been given the chill
dren in this respect in the past, and
with a view 10 increasing the eff
cheney OF the schools. The Red
Cross Pharmacy. which has had a
monopoly Of this trade for the past
several years. is according 10 a
member of the school board. unable
20 supply the demand for the neces-
Sary supply of books as ordered. and
accordingly. the pupils have at
times had TO wait for their orders.
which greatly hampers the work of
the schools. The trouble in the
past said the board member. has
been that the supplies ordered for
the local trade have not been suffi-
cient 10 take care Of the demand.
and the length of time necessary TO
get the additional books has given
much dissatisfaction.
Although the board has taken up
the matter several times, il was only
at the its last meeting that it de-
cided TO handle the matter itself
