regions, the farmers are not or
ganized either industrially com
mercially or financially. They
have no collective purchasing or
marketing system Of their own.
Each farmer relies upon himself
for what he buys or sells. AS a
consequence there are wastages
and losses that seriously affect
both producer and consumer. The
American farmers are unexcelled
in capacity, intelligence and ed
ucation, and they possess in fer
tile lands, natural resources and
in all other respects, everything
that makes for agricultural pros
perity, except organization. The
American farmer last year raised
about II billion dollars worth Of
products. Nevertheless they re-
main unorganized and allow. this
stupendous wealth and income,
upon which the ~existance of the
nation depends, to lie scattered
for all who wish to pick a profit
from them; practically. no ami
NAL or vegetable product reaches
the market, without some I'M
necessary sum is distracted from
the producers or added to the
consumers end of the deal.
Unorganized farmers always
have been and always will be
victimized and made the prey of
their own necessities. One of the
most profitable businesses in the
world is to farm the farmers
But organized farmers are able
to take care of themselves and
this would surely be the case
with American farmers, because
they own and produce more than
enough to make them absolutely
independent and selfsustaining
if they would only utilize it and
co-operate-that is, meet one
another half way and trust one
another.

ONE MORE OF LAWS TOLLS
Part That Yale University Is Proud OF,
That OF Training Men for the
Legal Profession.

Yale university reports hat one
fifth of its living graduates are prac-
ticing law, and the one-fourth of it's
present students are preparing to
practice it, says the San Francisco
bulletin. The three professions Of
education, medicine and the minis
try, concerning whose usefulness
there is more general agreement, can
together reckon only a few more stu
dents than those who are taking law.
Law is barely outdistanced by manu-
featuring, engineering and finance
occupations in which sons of rich
men are likely to engage, or i'll which
usefulness is likely to receive a more
than generous financial recognition.
1t holds this place because our laws
are so complex that it takes highly
trained, very ingenious experts to
guess what they meal Yale uniyer-

Worrying Over Errors, and Complain.
ing About Them, To- About the
Wogtt Occupation Imaginable.

It's poor policy to tell the person
at the next desk that one is SO much
out on a balance, or that Mr.. John
Smiths mail has been sent to Mr..
William Brown. While discussing
the whereabouts of the difference in
the balance, the time consumed could
we'll be applied to trying to locate
the missing figures; and instead of
bcmoaning the fact that Mr.. Smiths
mail will be opened by Mr.. Brown,
the sensible girl will write a brief
note to hal gentleman, politely re-
questing him to forward Mr.. Smiths
communications to the correct ad-
dress.
Worrying over errors and asking
what to do about them is a waste Of
time. The person at the next desk
cannot help you any, and in nine
cases ort of ten will not have any
sympathy for you; so the girl who
is anxious to correct any mistake she
discovers in her work must rely upon
herself to do it. However, if she
finds she cannot satisfactorily adj
just the difficulty, then let her bring
it to the attention of a higher au-
thority, whose word settles the mat.

We have heard several tax
payers make the remark that
they thought If the township
built a hall and later on Askov
should incorporate as a village
the township would lose it's
right to the hall If same was
located inside the village limits.
This is a very erroneous concep-
ton MS it makes no difference
who builds a hall, whether it be
q private party, corporation,
township, county, etc, it's owner
ship will always remain in the
hands Of those who built it I'M
TIL sold. A town hall, or commu-
nifty hall as it might be called,
will be a good investment here
in Askov. 1t is almost a neces-
sity, and about the only way
and cheapest way which we can
secure it at this time is to have
the township build it. No taxes
to pay under township owner
ship. This is a considerable saw
ing to the community. Boost
for 1t and we will have it.

extensively.

to congratulate themselves on

passage of the measures was in.

Influence brought to bear by the

The fact that the bills were
passed by such overwhelming
votes in the House is certain to
have a very favorable effect on
the Senate, which now has them
before it for consideration.
1t is interesting to observe
that the passage of these meas
ures was in every instance OPP
posed vigorously by the chamber
of commerce, both in committees
and on the floor of the House.
The Chambers representatives
resorted to overdrawn outbursts
of oratory in their efforts tC
block the bills, and once, in 3
moment of excited speech, Asher
Howard shouted the declaration
that he yielded mo man in this
House a better right to speak
for the farmers of Minnesota and
the great Northwest than is
mine." going on to explain that
we're it not for the chamber of
commerce and the big flour in

Yet. noting that sentiment was
plainly in favor of the measures
they opposed, these same rep
resentatives of the chamber of
commerce, in every case except
one, saw fit to climb on the
band wagon at the roll call and
vote aye"
The concurrent resolution was
passed by the vote Of Y to 26.
and the following members of
the House. who claim to repre-
sent farming communities, voted
against it; Hompe, konzen. Put

| The track scale bill is still in
the hands of the committee, the
chamber of commerce fighting to
the last ditch in an endeavor to
retain the hopper scale so that
the elevators may continue to
weigh out more grain than they
weigh in.
The other farmers measures
endorsed by the Society of Equi-
ty are before committees and we
expect them to be reported out
very soon with recommendations
to pass.
