POWER INTO ONE ORGANIZA-
TON instead of thousands of organi-
cations, and buy for hundreds Of
thousands Of farmers instead Of hum
dreds of farmers at a time. Until
they do that, until they put their
power into the hands of a few men
who are serving them, who they have
confidence in-until they do that the
prices will go up every year on what.
they buy-and your surplus will be all.
taken away from you as you produce
it. ssli
You think this is putting too much
power in the hands OF, the men at the.
head of the league or too much pow
er in the hands of The president Of
the league, Mr. ownley,b but the league
is not as big an organization as the
Steel trust. That organization is some
times bigger than the government
and sometimes dictates to the govern.
ment, but that organization puts its
power into the hands Of one man and
that one man draws a. salary Of ONE
MILLION DOLLARS "A YEAR. Not
because he issoble to manufasture
steel, bat because he is able toscontrol
the steel business and sell steel today
at many times what it brought years
ago. This organization gives its power
to n man who sometimes signs con-
tracts for fifty millions at q time. You
are patronizings such organizations,
and as they they get bigger and
stronger they take more surplus away
from you on everything you buy, not
only from you, but if you farmers do
nothing, they will take more away
from your children when you are dead
and gone. In ea.A.
Now you have the opportunity to
place your money into the hands Of .
few men, men like A. G. saTownley,
who has proven his loyaltysand his
ability to do things-ANDATHE NON
PARTISAN LEAGUE PROPOSES
TO GIVE MR.TOWNLEYAND HIS
ASSOCIATES ALL THE 0WE II,

YOU AS HIGH ASsP0SSIBLE, at .
higher price exefy year, but to secure
the goods for the league members as
cheap ashley can be SECURED on the
world market-Where the goods are
manufactured OF products: grown.
When you have delegated your pow
er and established this store system,
the farmers will have more power not
only politically, hut in doing business
than the steel trust has today. But
they will never secure that power UNI
til they give men authority to work
out a plan the same as Mr.. Schwab
worked out a plan whereby the steel
owners can now get 50 for steel where
they only got one dollar before.
MI. Townley only received 5000 per
month and 5000 travelling expenses;
Mr.. Schwab of the steel trust receives
ONE MILLION a year and expenses.
And Mr.. Schwab is not paid too much
because last year under his manage
ment one company in the steel trust
made $248, 100000 more than it made
in 1914.
If MI. Townley, could be given the
power to ave the farmers $248,00O,-
900 in their buying during one year
it would be a good investment to pay
him a million a year, but Mi. Town
ey is not looking at it in this light
HE is SIMPLY WORKING TO PER-
Feet AN ORGANIZATION THAT
WILL GIVE THE PRODUCERS AND
CONSUMERS A SQUARE DEAL,and
whatever his rewards may be-. he is
willing to leave that to the future.
How Can you do Business with Notes
Ninety per cent of all business is
done with paper. For instance, if all
the farmers and business men at

money out of the name Of town.

BROKE, or
If all the farmers and merchants al
and around (name Of town. would
go in and pay all their notes at the
banks, THE BANKS WOULD HAVE
TO CLOSE UP BECAUSE THEY
WOULD HAVE NO INCOME.
They have power and make money
because the people cooperate with
them, because they have thousands

from the national government-not
because they have money-but they
