: I was sent out of Minneapolis to st.
Louis where stayed for week, and
then to Ell Paso, Texas. Here we re:
NAMED for three weeks when we got
orders to move to Syracuse, N. Y.
understand Ralph Hoyt is here also
but do not know where he is. We
were on the road seven days from
Texas to Syracuse. I believe in see
ing America first and I have seen a
little part of it now.
We get up at $50 in the morning
and drill until about four o'clock, when
we have our horses to take care Of.
We have supper at five thirty o'clock.
Then we are thru for the rest of the
day. We get good stuff to eat but no
butter on our bread, but that don't
bother me any.
There is only one Minnesota boy l
know of besides myself in this field
artillery and he is from the southern
part of the, state. If we go to France
is hard to say, we may go soon and we
may never go. We do not know any
thing about that. We knew only five
days in advance when we moved from
Texas and that could not be near as
important as going across to France.
Everyone here down to the man is
eager and willing to 60 to France.

FARMERS oReaNlfA-
;. II. TON. HAS Big ] !; PICNIC ;l l
Hundred Autos Line SpIeer VI,
IA e Park Randall
SPEAKER.

A very large crowd of Kandiyohi
county farmers with their families
were present at the Farmers Non
Partisan League picnic at Spicer last
Friday. The day was ideal and many
from the more remote parts of the
county were there.
! The speaker Of the day was Mr..
Randall, one of the organizers of the
League. He was introduced by Cab
riel Stene of Lake Andrew. Mr.. Ran.
dali is a forceful speaker and brought
home his points In sledge hammer
fashion. "
The one big object of the league is
to secure an honest terminal market
for the farmers. To eliminate as far
as possible the food spectators and
the grain gamblers. That the Leagues
purpose is a just one no one can deny
for we all know that there has grown
up in this country a system by which
group Of men who neither produce
nor distribute amass fortunes on the
products Of the soil by pure specula-
ton and manipulation of the markets.
The League would have the state es-
ICAOAA0A q AAO1C uA0CL lOuL0 xIOu4 Lu0
producer to the consumer, forcing the
spectators of food and land into pro-
ductive industry where they would be
a benefit to the nation rather than as
now potato bugs" on society.
Mr.. Randall's plea was that if the
bankers. the merchants, the railroad
mon, boards Of trade, etc, have their
organization why not the farmer. The
speaker was radical. Some things
he probably could have left unsaid.
Nevertheless the league is fighting a
deep underlying wrong. II their off,
GERS are efficient, honest and patriotic,
it can accomplish much good for. the
farmers. If not it will be short-lived
and fail.
AS to the charge made by the off,
GERS of the U. S. Reserve Bank at Min
neapolis that the Farmers fNonsParti-
san League had opposed the Liberty
Loan, Mr.. Randall stated it was a false
accusation. He said, however, that If
the government can conscript our boys
for the battlefields of Europe it can
and should conscript the big fortunes
In this nation to pay the expenses of
the war rather than fasten a burden
OF debt on the generations to come.
He would not place the right of prop.
erty above the right of life.
That the Farmers Non-Partisan
League will be big factor in the pol.
ttics of the state goes without saying
for the organization evidently has
grown to surprisingly large member.
! ship in short while. The organiza.
ton now claims, we understand. q
membership of eight hundred in Kan.
diyohi county.
