Equity Gets First
|. Carload of Horses

The first full carload of horses ever
received by the Equity Cooperative
Exchange on consignment came to
it about a week ago from Kremlin,
Mont, where group of farmers,
hard hit by the drouth are selling all
livestock they dare part with. Horses
which farmers in the vicinity OF
Kreanlin have been forced to sell have
been bringing SIS to $40 per head,
but the farmers believed that if they
could put these on the market. thorugh
their own livestock selling agency
they could reap better prices.
The horses We're sold at prices
ranging from $40 to S75 per head, the
faverage being $50 per head. South
st. Paul has never been considered
first class horse market, and the
demand for horses lately has been
| lighter than usual. The disposal Of
this carload under existing market
conditions is considered extraordin-
airy. -.

ABUSE OF PRESIDENT WILSON

Our friend. the Miami Herald, cries
out against the abuse which, it says.
nas been heaned on the devoted head
OF Senator Reed. 1t praises the SEN
ator very highly and calls the papers
that have been sneering at him lit
tie pop-gun shooters" And then it
says this:
I'm view of. the onslaught on the
senator that may now be expected
from the supporters of the treaty OF
peace, it is a pleasure to read the
high encomiurn pronounced upon him
by John Temple Graves in the last
number of Hearst's magazine Per
haps a reading of the article upon
and about the distinguished and able
senator from Missouri will have sOmer
thing OF a restraining effect upon
those who are preparing to turn their
pop-guns against him."
Now, dear Herald, don't you know
that John T. 8Graves writes for
Hearst and that President Wilson is
heartily hatedE by Hearst? Personal
ly, John T. Caves is lovable man.
and used to be an independent jour
nalist in Florida. Then ne went with
Hearst.
In the meantime dear Herald. what
about the hundreds of scurrilous
things the little pop-gun shooters
of the anti-league persuasion have
been hurting sat President WilsSn?
Has the Herald been denying them
