greater credit than Will Kinds, Jr.
Although but II years of age Mr..
Kinds realized the need of help to his

the local High school in this town and
owing to his manly character and
pleasant disposition has gained a large
circle of friends.

MILO FARMERS union

Wednesday. April 4th. c. H. Gard
ner, president Of the Farmers Union
OF Maine. organized a local at Milo
with 16 charter members.
Milo being large field, with good
class Of farmers behind the organiza-
ton that buy large quantities Of sup
plies, we look for this to be one OF
the many strong Unions" says Pres
ident Gardner. The farmers OF this
section have been watching other To-
calities that have locals, and, seeing
what these other sections have been
doing. and having been made to realize
the benefits that have come to the
farmers through this cooperative
work, they have become thoroughly
aroused to the fact that the same
work was needed In Milo, and they de-
cided to take the right step at the
meeting Of Wednesday and organize.
Confidence, courage and business
principles, coupled with the assistance
that the central organization at Wa
terville will at all times give the locals
the work will be successful. and the
benefits derived through such work
will be fully appreciated by those To-
calities that are not already acquainted
with the results obtained.
Have we as farmers UP to this time
realized that there is no other class
Of laborers or manufacturers that are
not thoroughly organized to protect
their interests, and as for that what
rightfully belongs to them?
This is matter that every farmer
should think of seriously, as only by
working together can the desired re-
suits be obtained.
I'm advocating the get together
movement, we do so not with any eX-
pectation of securing unreasonable or
eXorbitant prices for the farm prod
ucts, but we do want a price that will
pay the cost Of raising and market
ing plus a small margin. as all other
manufacturers get on their products.
I'VE have heard much during the
past six months about the high price
of potatoes. Do you believe that the
consumers have stopped to think or
realize how many years out of the
past IL or Is that potatoes have been
raised at a loss to the grower? NO,
not one word do you hear from the
consumers when the crops are being
raised at loss.
Think this matter over carefully
and come to the conclusion that far
mers have rights that should be rec
ognized along such lines. If you are
living in a locality that is not or
gained, you would be doing good
act to write the central office of the
Farmers Union of Maine at Water
Vile for information relative to get
ting the work started in your section.
Any inquiries will be cheerfully an
swered."

side Of the subject than we do. Frank
ly. friend Whipple. we are looking for
facts to take the place Of some of the
generalities offered; we don't know, and
We wish to learn. The tendency is
toward control Of monopoly and it can
not come too soon to please thinking
citizens. But wholesale insinuation that
every private industry Is managed by
groups Of conspirators and hold-up men
is not accepted as fact by intelligent
and fair-minded people.
We are ready to help. but we pre-
fer to understand before we embark
whether we are helping toward better
conditions. or worse. There is no
question that we have squandered our
natural resources, but we should expect
to be just to those who have invested
innocently.
Some of the present-day enthusiasts
seem to have lost sight entirely Of the
fact that America would have remained
largely wilderness but for inducements
to capital to invest and develop. Much
Of Maine would yet be burning candles
and hauling wheat to the countryside

investment and development. Indeed
we would have had little on which to
raise funds for development Of the re-
sources We now recopnize
The problem seems to be working
toward settlement for the common well
fare, but we are convinced that it is not
forwarded by unfounded and cowardly
charges that just escape the libelous by
lack Of specification. If some of the
general assault upon corporations were
put in the form of specific charges, then
the courts could get at the facts.
If the people of Maine are paying
more for power and the products of
power than are the people of Ontario,
let US find out the difference and just
how our Canadian neighbors have pro-
ceeded and succeeded. We followed the
hearings before the committee on judi

grounded statements from the other
side. We are in favor of finding out
which side is right before we attempt

irresponsible claims are not satisfy

whom we know as irresponsible on 9TH

launching on the power issue in Maine.

Mr.. Whipple refers but we haven't seen
