est-to-goodness, 33rd degree Townley
Oh. yes. Mr.. Townley abused The
Herald. But. then, that's quite ma
tural. Next to coaxing SIS per head
out of the farmers. that's the best lit
tie thing he does He's got it down
to fine art.
The whole thing was run accord
ing to Townley's rules of order. E.
league agitator of Hatton, was billed
for chairman. but he was late in ar
riving. so Mr.. Brinton opened the
meeting. When Mr.. Nelson arrived
on the scene, he took charge. and
Townley himself could not have run
1t better.
After Mr.. Boldly finished his ad-
would throw the meeting open for
DISCUSSION. Let's hear from Town
ley." said someone.
MI: Nelson paused a. moment.
shuffled his feet, waved his hands q
little. and. then. said that they want
ed to flnd out what was wrong, first.
so Mr.. Townley could explain.
So Mr.. Sorlie accepted the privilege
of the floor and told why House Bill
~ was dangerous. This gave Town
ley a fine opportunity to jot down
points so that later he could ridicule
Mr.. Sorlie and others. And he did
enough ridiculing to satisfy the most
exacting Lacquer.
Mr.. Boldly opened the meeting by
telling what the Equity society was
trying to do. He told how 1t wanted
to do away with so much competition
and have cooperation. so all would
profit.
Then. came Mr.. Sorl,e. who said
/ that House Bill a. was dangerous, be-
! cause 1t made no debt limit because
1t proposed to tax the railroads on
gross earnings instead Of physical val
uatton and because Of its socialistic
program.
Then. dear old Townley, dramati-
cally In wearied voice, said: Some
times get tired. With the headquar-
ters at Fargo. the work at Bismarck
and st. Paul demanding my attention
and with your enemies clamorinR at
me; I get weary frequently and have
to come back to you for moral sup
port"
Mr.. Townley admitted that he wa.
quite thorn in the side of big busi-
ness" and the enemies of the farm
ers.' He made that admission free
~ and readily, without being urged
by the men present
Then. came the debate on Town
ley's resolution.

WHEAT MARKET
RAISES LITTLE

Minneapolis. Feb 1s.-May wheat
$50 higher. July wheat 1 1-8c high
er. The wheat market has ruled firm
during todays session. All of the ad-
vance was not held and final figures
are about l lac under the top fig
ures of the day. Complaints of drought
were in evidence again today and 1t is
claimed that Kansas needs moisture
badly and that the wheat is in poor
condition. Statistical news was bullish.
No new developments were reported
in the submarine campaign and no
unusual number of vessels were re-
ported sunk lately. 1t is thought that
on this account that more vessels will
start for Europe with cargoes.

very little moisture since that time.
Most Of the wheat came through the

fore 1t was frozen down by the cold

pasturing of wheat this winter for
the above reasons. We consider that

sonally examined several fields this

There is much complaint Of winter

Chicago, Feb. 19.-1t is assumed by
trade leaders that war may have de-
pressing effect on values temporarily

such that the ordinary influences car
