AN lNGR0WING MOB HABIT

Minnesota's old gang has contract
ed an ingrowing mob habit. The treat
ment of ex-Congressman Ernest Lun-
deem, who was kidnapped from a meet
ing and deported in q refrigerator car
by members of the American Legion.
Is a kind of outrage that strikes at the
very foundation OF the republic. The
crime of which Lundeen was guilty
vas opposition to the proposed league
Of nations, which has already been
voted down In the senate and is op-
posed BY public men and In the press
all ver the United States. What is
this country coming to when there
cannot be two sides to every question ;
when men cannot calmly and peace
fully discuss vital public questions
when the most lawless reactionary in
terests in the name of law and order

to seize the returned soldiers and use
them to destroy the very democracy for
which these soldiers offered their lives

it will keep the house from being
heated up as is the case If the old
stove is used, and with the electric
fan, the hot air can be driven out or
at least kept in motion.
In these days of difficulty in secur-
ing labor the value Of labor saving
devices become that much greater.
The farmers wife will greatly appre-
ciate the conveniences that she will
secure in having one Of these electric
light plants in the home. 1t will cut
down the hard labor at many points
and in many cases make it possible
for her to do the work that would
otherwise be just a little too much.
1t will also be easier to secure help
where such conveniences are installed
and it will make the home a more
pleasant place for everybody.
Electric light and power plants for
farms have been installed In almost
every section so that one need not go
far to see m Of these in operation
and to learn of their value from the
actual first-hand observations.

1t recommended that the chairman
appoint 4 committee of twelve, repre-
senting farm, labor and co-uperative
organizations to act as a Joint board
in developing the cooperative move
ment, also that the report be submitted

Farmers Union, and Dalton r. Clarke,
president of the National Cooperative

chairmen of this committee.
Big Public Ownership Program
The committee on a joint legislative
program recommended as essential to
secure industrial peace and to assure
economic prosperity to all classes, the
enactment Of the Kenyon-Anderson

SWEET CLOVER PROVES
GREAT CATTLE FATTENER

(Extension Division, N. d. Agneul-
tural College.)~
A yellow sweet clover pasture on
the Tioga demonstration farm pro-
dueed gain on cattle at the rate of
1856 pounds per acre. And this in spite
Of the dry season.
Mr.. Porter, Superintendent Of the
State Demonstration farms, states
that the cattle ate the sweet clover
readily and remained in good thrifty
condition. Sweet clover was the only
feed these cattle had for two months.
The gains were made at the rate Of
l 1-2 pounds per day.
The sweet clover was seeded May
II, 1918, ut the rate of 5 pounds per
acre with barley seeded IL bushels
per acre. Due to the dry season Of
1918 the barley made only 3 bushels
per acre and the sweet clover did not
make a good stand but went through
the winter in good condition although
thin, a vigorous growth was made In
May 1913. BY June II It vas 2 feet
high and the cattle were turned In.
Nj. Porter thinks that sweet clover
is unquestionably going to be one Of
the most desirable pasture plants for

ing that special sessions Of leg:sla-

ference appoint a committee to the
December 18th conference called by
the labor forces, at Washington, and
submit to that conference the joint
legislative program and endeavor to
secure it's formal endorsement by that
conference. The joint chairmen of this
committee are: George p. Hampton,
managing director of the Farmers Ma
tional Council, and Warren S. Stone,
grand chief of the Railway Locomotive
Engineers.
The recommendations of both COM
mittees were almost unanimously
adopted.
Launches Railroad Campaign
The conference also asked congress
to investigate the plans of the rail-
road security holders to conduct an
extensive newspaper propaganda Of
advertising for the return Of the rail-
roads with a guaranteed dividend,
urged the extension of the period Of
federal operation and control of the
railroads for two years from January
J., next, and EXPRESSED it's opposition
to large standing armies in times of
peace and any form of compulsory
military service. s.
An interesting incident of the con-
ference was the opposition of a few
representatives, chiefly of southern
Farmers unions, of the plank Tor gov
eminent ownership. and democratic
operation of the railroads.. and mer-
chant marine, and to the criticism of
the Sabbath Oleomargarine bill. The
opposition after being given full op-
pOrtunity to present their side were
able to muster only five votes.
The conference outlined and COM
mitteed the two groups of farmers and
labor leaders to an aggressive fight for
fundamental measures. Active COOP
Grafton in this campaign seems as

the conference and the spirit Of deter
minatiOn which animated all the dele

Cost Of Living Still Advancing.

The cost Of living remained piacti.
cslly stationary during the month of
October rs compared with September,
according to the bureau Of statistics
of the United States department Of
labor. The report reveals about an
equal number Of cities showing in
creases and decreases in food prod
nets. It does not report on clothing
and shoes, of which there is universal
complaint of an outrageous rise In
prices. Since the government report
sharp rises in food products have
been noted; for Instance, fresh eggs
in Chicago have gone up to $1!OO a
dozen. Cold storage eggs are 70
cents a dozen. The ban Will be off

rise iii the price is looked for.

Electricity has done much to make
the city a better place to live. It can
be made to give the similar service
on the farm. There ire electric light
and power plants now on farms that
are proving very satisfactory. With
such plant light can be provided
all over the house, in the barn and
other buildings and in the barnyard.
Instead of hunting for the lamp or
lantern just turn the switch. The
danger OF fire is eliminated, no chin
neys to clean and no light to blow
out IL it IS windy. This Is only q part
OF the services that can be secured
from the electric plant.

FORCES At GREAT CONVENTION IN CHICAGO
Representatives OF 100000 Toaes of Field and City From Almost Every sac Break
Away From influence OF Big Business and Plan Gigantic Cooperative
.. and Public Ownership Movement

The greatest ~get-together meeting Of
workers and farmers in the history of
America and one that may have his
t0ric consequence was held recently
In Chicago. It Is the first clear vic
tory over the present desperate cam
paign Of big business to annex the
farmer movement and use it to help
crush the labor movement.
The full account of this affair sent
out by the Farmers National Council,
as follows:
The Farmer-Labor conference called
BY the Farmers National Council and
the National Cooperative association
held In Chicago, may properly be re-
garded as one Of the most important
meetings held in America. For. the
first time representatives of the lead
ing farm organizations and of labor
from Washington state and others bor-
dering on the Canadian frontier, dowr
to Texas and Louisiana and east to
New England, met and discussed for
two days a joint legislative program
and a joint program on cooperation.
The delegates to the meeting repre-
sented organizations with a total men,
bership Of over three millions.
The majority Of the farmers dele
gates represented the American So
cety Of Equity, the National Cleaner
Federation, the Washington, Colorado
and North Dakota State Oranges, the
Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana
and Alabama State Farmers Unions,
while the National Cooperative asso-
citation had W a score Of represen-
tatfves from the parent and affiliated
cooperative associations.
Labor Sends Delegates
All four Of the big National Railway
Br0therhoods were represented, while
four Internationals had spokesman at
the conference, and the State Fedora
tons Of Illinois, North Dakota, Min
nesota and other states of the middle
west as we'll as city declarations were
represented. President Gompers Of
the American Federation Of Labor, un-
able to attend the conference sent a.
wire expressing his sincere regret.
stating, "the American Federation of
Labor is intellectually with you in
your work for cooperation, both in
buying and selling, and trusts that it
may grow and expand
