Complaint and the Ingenious contrsvA
aness/ Devised 20 Meet Il
The subject Of writer's cramp has
been studied scientifically ever since
1881. but the results Of attempts to pre-
vent or cure Il have not been vsry
satisfactory. The demand made upon
the writer's hand II considerable. and
when he was to write for many hours
together, and at high speed, II 10 not
surprising that the fingers become
cramped and the muscles exhausted.
The amount Of work demanded Of the
muscles IL considerable. for not only
must the pen be held, more or less
firmly. but It must be twisted to form
the letters. so that almost all OF the
muscles Of the hand and forsarm are
called into play.
II must not be forgotten that there
10 considerable nerve strain at the
same time. and the writer who IL CON-
posing as he writes Is much more apt
to get the cramp than he who IL mere
ly copying. Cramp really means
lack of power Of coordination or con.
troll OF the muscles. In the act Of
writing page of manuscript the mus.
cles of the hand are called upon to
perform thousands of movements, and
the work is not absolutely automatic,
the play OF the brain being constant
Tor the infinite variations required.
For this reason writer's cramp should
not be confused with other functional
cramps. for there is much more Of
the Psychological here.
While some practitioners have Ad-
Nsed all kinds of tonics, from strych.

tiled surgical operations, severing Ger.

EQUITY LIVESTOCK
SELLING IN CHICAGO
An Instance Where Spectator
Made Big Profits on One Ship
ment of Cattle.

One Of the biggest forward steps
ever recorded in the livestock history
of the United States will be taken
August LIST when the Equity Coop
erative Exchange will establish a sell.
ing agency at the Chicago stockyards
Not only will the opening of this
agency mean the granting of a great
opportunity for farmers of the north
and middle west to market their cat
tie comparatively but it also will mean
another pledge Of the farmers If the
United States to aid their country in
winning the war. The founding OF the
livestock department of the Equity
Exchange at Chicago will mean that
thousands OF farmers, heretofore at
least particularly discouraged in rails
ing cattle, because so much Of their
profits have gone into. spectators
pockets at the terminal markets, will
be inspired with new faith and in
crease their livestock business.
Such an increase will be exactly in
line with the pleas being made con-
stantly by President Wilson and his
co-workers for more production of food
stuffs for the boys fighting lover
there" to make the world safe for
democracy.
In addition to increasing the Ma
tons food supply by giving the farm
ers the largest possible percentage of
what the consumer pays, the coop
erative selling agency also will aid
war work in another manner,-by re-
leasing men now working as specula-
tors at the terminal markets to enter
the ranks CT their nations army.
The opening of the Chicago office
by the Equity Exchange follows not
only the marvellous success and
growth of the Equity Exchange prop
err, but also that of the livestock sell
ing department at the South St. Paul
stockyards.
This department was opened Octc
St. Paul stockyards were being
operated under the usual system
whereby the Spectator and the com
mission men were getting most of The
profits.
With the establishment of the Equi
ty department it went on record as
the only one of it's kind in the worlC
at a terminal live stock market anC
the starting of a similar department
at Chicago will mark the founding
of the second department of its kline
to push forward the cooperative
movement.
Conditions at the South St. Pau
market were typical Of those at othe1
markets where the farmers had tt
stand being "fleeced" by spectators
or quit shipping cattle.
U. L. Burdick, one of the bigges
stockmen of North Dakota tells in {
letter sent out recently of conditions
as he found them at South St. Paul
relating how he lost $4,000. on ono
bunch of cattle. Mr.. Burdick's ex
perience is as follows:

ers have all pledged themselves to do
all in their power to assist. There
may be some machines that will need
expert attention. If this be true, ap-
plication should be made to the coun.
ty committee and if the committee
cannot furnish experts they should
ask assistance of the state Office
Application for extra labor should
be made to the county office and If
they cannot furnish it they will in
turn take it up with the state office.
Fuel Situation Watched.
A ruling has been secured from the
| department at Washington placing
fuel for threshing on the preferred
list. This means that the railroads,
now under the supervision of the gov
eminent, will be asked to rueh the
fuel supply for threshing through even
though it means the delay of other
freight.
The state departm emit is taking steps
to urge the farmer to shock his grain
properly, rake the stubble field where
much loose grain is left, and If the
grain Is to be stacked have it stacked
properly so that the thresherman can
do good job. Suggestions regard
ing the handling of separator and
shocking and stacking of grain will
be mailed from time to time to the
county committees and published In
the county papers,
The whole object Of this campaign
is to awaken the thresheman and the
farmer to the neceHs1ty Of saving
every kernel Of grain possible.
Annual Loss Is Large.
If the average loss is 2 per cent
only, the loss of wheat alone in the
state Of Minnesota would be more
than one million bushels, which would
be w~rth more than two million dol
ars at the present price of wheat.
1t half this can be saved, the farmer
and thresherman can save for Min.
nesota In wheat alone over one mil
lion dollars worth of grain. A SINH
lar saving of other grains may be
made.
The county committees will receive
full instructions as to method Of &C
ton in case of trouble, and thresher.
men are requested to apply first to
the county committees. If the ooun.
ty committees cannot help, appeal
should be made to the state office.
