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

gressive and willing to stick by the
farmers in their efforts to handle their

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
all the allied nations as an exemplar
Of righteous government.
Henceforth Anglo-Saxon democracy
and b2 20
of men; for a freedom that is sober and
self-sacrificing, that gives it's own bread
to feed the starving, that sheds its
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.
