H. T. Gerken, the first patron of
New Farmer Owned Live Stock Sell
ing Agency.
Just recently the Equity Cooper
alive Exchange, which is one of the
largest farmer owned cooperative in.
stitutions in the United States, opened
on the Chicago market a selling agen.
cy for live stock to be operated on
the cooperative plan. This selling
agency will receive live stock from any
farmer who wants to ship, whether
he Is member or not, and will sell
the same to the highest bidder.
1t will be operated Independently of
the ring of spectators on this market
and will be conducted along the same
lines as the farmer owned selling
agency on the South st. Paul market.
which, in the past, has made such a
wonderful success.
H. T. Gerken, of Miranda, Faulk
County, South Dakota, was the first
farmer to patronize this new selling
agency. Mr.. Gerken is a progressive,
wide-awake farmer, has the confidence
of his friends and neighbors at Miriam
da, and the mere fact that he was
the first farmer in the United States
to patronize the only Independent SELL
ing agency on the Chicago market
that is owned and controlled by farm
ers, is proof enough that he is pro-
gress1ve and willing to stick by the
farmers in their efforts to hand1e their
products comparatively.
The following letter received by the
Equity Cooperative Exchange from
Mr.. Gerken would indicate that he was
we'll pleased with this first sale made
by this new selling agency and that
he ~ now counted among the boost
ers for this new farmer owned selling
agency for live stock:

Gentlemen: Received returns from
the two cars of cattle shipped you
and am we'll pleased with the prices
and the services rendered me.
I will recommend the Farmers Own

stock to ship and you can depend on
me to further your cause. It IL M
to us farmers to boost our own sell.

The Little Pink Ballot.

1.-THE liquor interests won't fight. They
see the handwriting on the wall and
the uselessness of opposition and they'll
throw away no money opposing state
wide prohibition in Minnesota this year"
Maybe so.
Maybe those who are back of the pro-
hibition amendment won't have the
brewers to fight.
But they WILL have over-confidence
and neglect to fight, and these are far
more dangerous enemies than the brew
ers could possibly be by any expendit-
ure of money.
Anybody who, because he thinks that
the fight is won or that there is no fight,
neglects to vote 'yes" on the little pink
ballot November s. has cast a vote for
the saloon, for failure to vote on the
amendment counts precisely the same
as a vote AGAINST prohibition.
Don't forget to vote November s..
Don't neglect to put your cross after
the word yes" on the little pink ballot.

A Pattern For The World.

The enactment of war prohibition is
the greatest moral victory thus far in
our national history. It places the
United States rightfully at the head Of
of righteous government.
Henceforth Anglo-Saxon democracy
and national fraternity are to be well
comed and possessed by the children
self-sacrifcing, that gives it's own bread
to feed the starving, that sheds it's
own blood for the sake of the weak
and oppressed, that puts away it's own
vices in order to secure world-peace,
is destined to be the pattern and rule
Of the powers in earth.
