Melted him about $1,000 per ton.
CNW 21326, potatoes, the shipper Of
this car called us by phone asking us
to find him buyer, and we obtained
price to net him $120 per bushel.
He was not quite satisfied and tried
to find someone to pay him better
price even though we obtained mar

that after three days he wired us
that he was billing the car to u.s."
The marketing agency has proven .
wholesome check on those Commits
sion houses Of the cities who may
have been disposed to take advantage
Of the situation to force exorbitant
prices. Particularly, many cars of po-
tatoes were sold at the agency to the
consumer while the farmer was look
ing vainly everywhere for other mar
kets. The producer and consumer
were brought together to the mutual
benefit and profit of both.
To maintain that Governor Burn
quist and the State Safety Commits
sion have not been benefit to the
laboring people and to the farmers of
the state is rank treason and disloy-
atty at this time of the nations crisis
when so much is expected of our state,
and the unified effort of the people is
SO vitality necessary Statements and
arguments to the contrary are made
with the sole purpose of deceiving
the people and for selfish purposes
only. Our state officials and our war
boards are entitled to every ounce of
cooperative effort that can be given
them in their patriotic task and when
1t is not forthcoming it means trea-
son, anarchy and disloyalty to the
cause and nothing else. Only by
united and concentrated effort can
Minnesota do her best.

that are mere political makeshifts to
build up the selfish ambitions of de-
signing traitors by their own admis-
sions. This class or organization
owned and controlled by handpicked
committee has never failed to seize
every opportunity to descredit any
man or measure that meant the adj
vancement of patriotic work in this
state. They have stopped to the low
est forms of political jockeying in
order to secure some sort of ground
upon which to hang cooked up charges
of discrimination on the part of Gov.

der to further their own cause, divide
our people, breed hatred and discord
between classes, create mistrust be.

SO profit financially and politically
among themselves.
The record of the past year is here
with given and proven. It will be an
easy matter to differentiate between
the true friend of the farmer and
laborer a1d those who seek to use
them only as means to selfish ends.
1t is time to choose between the
false and the true and with loyal
people awakened to the danger, there
is little doubt of the final outcome,
for with loyalty united we will win
the war.
