I l attended the most enthusiast
tic organization meeting in Nc
Grath, last Saturday. McGrath
is not so very far from Askov,
only you have to go by way Of
Duluth on the 500 line to get
there. 1t is an agricultural COM
munity about equal to Askov,
five or six years ago in develop
ment; they have a little cream
cry, only running in the summer.

depot read: Watch McGrath
grow" | told my little story
about what we would promise to
do in the Potato Exchange if the
potato growers would cooperate
with the Exchange by cultivat-
ing community spirit. put their
potatoes together for sale by
their local Association with 9TH
err local Associations, to be mar
keted by the Exchange. and that
if a large enough volume of a
standard grade could thus be as
sembled efficient sales service
can be employed at a minimum
cost and Minnesota potatoes by
this means can be placed where
they are wanted when they are
wanted.
The farmers present voted
unanimously to organize and
build a warehouse, adopted ar
ticles of incorporation and by
laws, signed up for shares,
elected officers and decided to
apply for a license to sell stock
and apply for building site on
the railroad loading track. Then
the local banker stood up at the
meeting and said he would back
up any farmer in the community
for building a silo, buying dyna-
mite and building a potato ware
house. After that orders were
signed for nearly a carload of
dynamite to be turned over at
cost plus freight. Next an APP
peal was made to the farmers
for donations to help the local
Presbyterian minister, who was
only allowed 5000 a year for his
work, on which he had decided
he could not exist. This minis
ter is also a doctor and no other
doctor is available so Presbyteri-
ans and other denominations
alike contributed sufficient to
keep the minister-doctor in the
community. All this was accom-
plished from l to 4 p. m. and af-
ter the meeting was adjourned
and before my train left l was
told that 10 farmers not present
at the meeting had signed up for
the potato association. One far
mer stood up and said: IF we

Harding Grants Audience to

Warren G. Harding will hear both

a letter to Mrs. Horace Brock, of the
National Association Opposed 20
Woman Suffrage, he emphasizes he
will be glad to hear anyone who
may ask to be heard, no matter
what the question may be. so FAR as
it is one which may be becomingly
discussed In a feeling of interest in
American progress"
In amking public the letter, Miss
Mary G. Kilbreth, president of the
association, bitterly attacks the Ma
tional woman's party. She says
many members of her organization
will l9work for him despite his per-
sopal views on suffrage. ALSO, our
Democratic women who favor Gov.
Cox will probably support him." she
said, but I must say that had an
administration candidate been cho-
sen by the Democratic party, no
self-respecting opponent of FEEDER
allied suffrage could possibly have
voted for him.
THE suffragists are simply run

o'clock last night. Fire Marshal

Less than half an hour before
the fire was discovered thirty girl

1t is thought the blaze wa:

The fire was discovered a little
after 6 o'clock by James NJ. Lewis
who lives on the opposite side OF
Hanover street. Lewis battered in
the door of the stable on the first
floor, dragged several of the paper
company's wagons to the street and
with the help of friends led about
two dozen horses to safety.
Damage to the buildings, which
was owned by ]. Edward Chapman

at $4,000. The remainder of the
damage was to groceries stored in
