THE sAsHFUL VIOLET
BY Charles Olive, WilImar.

A violet was blowing
Beside the dusty way;
A bashful little flower,
She smiled in sun and shower,
And shed a perfume sweet
As Venus love ALLOWING.
Her eye Of blue resembled
The morning sky in June.
So winning, pure and airy,
She charmed me like q fairy:
Her beauty struck my soul,
And that with passions trembled.
I loved that timid flower
Beside the dusty way;
For her the world was brighter,
The shadows all were lighter;
She gave a Joy unknown
To tender garden bower.
But by the way in sadness
Now droops her lovely form;
No more she bends to meet me,
No more she smiles to greet me;
The world, therefore,, has less
OF beauty, charm and gladness.
What love or beauty proffers,
It brighter makes the world,
Though by the wayside only
1t lives obscure and lonely;
When something of it dies
The world less sunshine offers.

WILL FARMERS srlck9

In speaking of the cooperative
spirit among farmers Of the North
west, F. B. Wood. manager of the live.
stock department of the Equity Co.
operative Exchange, recently said:
"The progress that farmers are max
ing toward the cooperative market
ing of farm products is wonderful"
LESS than one year ago we opened
at South St. Paul live stock selling
agency that is owned and controlled
by farmers and in no way connected
with the South st. Paul Live Stock.
Exchange. In spite of the fact that:
we we're repeatedly advised that we,
could not operate independently at
South St. Paul, we have grown steadi-
ly until last month, July, we handled
mores-than II other firms on this
market and in volume of business we
have passed some of the old estab.
lished firms, operating on this market.
The rapid growth Of our business
should be proof enough to any live
stock grower that we are giving as
good or better service than any other,
firm on this market and getting prices
that are just as satisfactory.
"Our main object in entering this
market was to eliminate the specula-
tors profit between the farm
ers who ship feeder and stock
er cattle and feeding and breed
ing sheep to the South St.
Paul market and the farmer or feed
er who comes to buy the same. AS an
illustration Of what we have been
able to do, Mr.. Carl Hagen Of Reeder,
North Dakota, recently shipped three
carloads of cattle to South St. Paul.
The bulk Of these cattle were s,ld 10
Mr.. J. tox, ct Simpson, Minnesota,
and after the transaction was finish.
cd. Mr.. Fox end Mr.. Hagen travelled
through The yards, finding OFT VIVA,
other shippers were receiving for the
stock they shipped in and what other
farmers we've paying for the stork
which they purchased and alta: The
trip thru the yards they decided that
the Spectators profit had been about
equally divided between them. Mr..
Hagen receiving more than other
shippers had received for the same
class of cattle and Mr.. Fox being
able to purchase for little less than
other farmers" Mr.. Wood takes
pleasure in stating that incidents
like this one are becoming common
at South St. Paul.
Since starting in business, the live
stock department of the Equity Co.
operative Exchange has handled over
$1,000, 100000 worth of live stock, and
in handling this amount of stock
there has been very, few dissatisfied
customers.

Non-partisan league meetings were

week and both were attended by
large numbers. The writer drove by
the Emmett school house during the
evening and was surprised to see the
large number of automobiles parked
nearby at ia time when farmers are
exceedingly busy with the harvest.
When we think how difficult it is to
get people out to attend a school
