|, to a terminal it is maintained that
the Society of Equity leaders who
brought about the organization of a
milling company at Paramount, pur-
chasing the mill that had been in
operation there for some years, pledg-
ed to the farmers who gave their notes
for stock, that they would work with
them for the establishment of ter
minal elevator in Paramount.
1t Is now maintained that the So
ciety of Equity men have failed to live
up to their agreement, and the Fair
mount hackers point to the fact that
j. M. Anderson, president of the
Equity Cooperative exchange, is
seeking to establish such elevator in
st. Paul, as indicative Of the Equity
society's real attitude.
More than likely, S. B. No. 322 will
be the center of right interesting
