What Mrs. Brenninger, of New York
Says About Rat Poison.

"Tried preparations that kill rats,
but RAT-SNAP is the only one that
prevents disagreeable odors after kill

comes in handy cakes, no mixing with
other food. You don't have to dirty

MR.. HANSON VS..
COOPERATIVE MARKETING
by j.. Fred Larson)

If there were no principles involved
in the views Mr.. G. E. Hanson cx-
pressed in his last article in the July
20 issue of the River Falls Journal,
! would not be interested; but ! read,
to my amazement, Mr.. Hanson's at
tack on the Equity business plan and
his statements implying that Pierce
county has reached the limit of coop
erative effort, and has everything to
lose and nothing to gain by further
cooperation with other sections of
the state having like organizations.
/ did not know that anyone even con-
tended that the Pierce county local
association really had any power or
influence in the sale of our farm
products at the terminal markets. ]
thought everybody understood that all
these local associations do is to ship
out the products, and the dealers and
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1920-09-09

they are helping the Non-P Partisan
League and others VINO are trying te
induce Equity members to bolt THEN
own organization. ~
MIR. Hanson's account of Mr.. Title
more's conference with Mr.. j. M. An
derson is nothing new to me. If Mr.
Hanson will be fair, he will admit
that that was only a part of the over
lures started by Mr.. Hanson's good
friend, j. Weller Long, and F. A.
Bennett of st. Paul, which eliminated
III the resolution passed in the 1918
convention and Mr.. Longs consequent
advertising in the Equity News. Any
one that knows the facts, knows that
it was Mr.. Long and not Mr.. Title
more that tried to deliver the goods
and that Mr.. Tittemore baked the
move when he understood it. Mr..
Hanson probably remembers how /
opposed that resolution in the 1918
convention when nobody else, not even
Mr.. Hanson, seemed to understand
what it was leading to.
There are two extreme types of
radicals. "There is the usually fiighty
and always unballasted chap who
wants to make the world over in
ninety days. and there is the petrified
stand-patter who is so radical that he
is all roots and no branches, and will
never move from the old spot till
grim death comes along with stump
We do not want the
Equity Society to fall into either one
of those classes
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1920-09-09

SPECTATORS at the other end determine
the manner in which the product is to
be handled, the charges for such
handling, and by manipulating supply
and demand, and otherwise, fix the
prices, to their gain and the farmers
loss. | did not know that everyone
believed that such local shipping as
sociations were all sufficient in them
selves any more than the individual
farmer is all sufficient on to himself
at the local shipping point. Our old
friends and teacher of cooperation
Mr.. Peter Huppert, does not think so.
He has been talking real cooperation
and federation as long as ! have
known him. If Mr. Hanson's views
expressed the majority view Of Equity
members, the Farm Bureau men
would be right when they say 'the
Equity Society does not go far
enough; it eliminates only one man
the local middleman." 1t is true that
we have not yet gone much farther
than that, but that is not saying we
are not going any farther. If Mr..
Hanson's views were adopted as the
policy of our society, / would not lose
much time in getting into a more pro-
gressive organization.
What Mr.. Hanson says about the
Pierce county locals discarding their
plans, and adopting new ones and
having more expense, ETC., seems to
indicate that he either does not I'M
derstand, or does not want to under
stand the new business plan. And
the plan really isn't new at all; it is
simply an effort to carry out the prin-
ciples upon which the Equity Society
was built. Our local associations
simply eliminate the local buyers and
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1920-09-09

perform the services at the local point
which these buyers formerly perform
ed, and saves the farmer by so doing.
Now if we unite these local associ-
ations into central marketing associ-
ations and establish, for example, one
cooperative livestock selling agency
in South st. Paul. that would perform
the work now done by thirty or forty
private firms and give the farmers
a power at the terminal that they do
not now have. Eventually we will
control the marketing of our products
through cooperative associations and
have hand in determining the price.
am surprised that Mr.. Hanson has
spent several months in California,
the best example of cooperative mar
keting in America, and has not gained
broader and more advanced views on
the subject.
Perhaps I had better uncross my
wires though ! am satisfied they were
staight enough when l lett them, ana
/ am afraid it was Mr.. Hanson that
tangled them up. 1t was a June
meeting, not January 4, at which the
new organization was started by men
who have, for seven or eight months,
been trying to get Equity members to
withdraw from the society. 1t was
the same men with whom Mr.. Hanson
and other Pierce county men have
been throwing their influence. That
Pierce county was not represented at
that meeting was not the fault of two
or three men who at meeting IN
Ellsworth spent an hour or two trying
tc get the members present to send
delegates to the meeting. | did not
say that Pierce county men are Nom
Partisan Leaguers, but by their action

HARNESS RACE RECORDS

| Harness racing, which always has
had wonderful hold upon the pub
lie, is enjoying greater popularity to-
day than at any other time in history.
While It is true that not SO many
tracks are in operation as formerly,
it is a fact, nevertheless, that the
game is on more stable basis,
thanks to the unceasing efforts of the
fair associations of America.
The Minnesota State Fair, like all
other associations, stages all of its
races over the standard heat dis
tances of either mile or half mile.
But in the old days, races were staged
ever all kinds of distances from one
mile to 100 miles. The record for
the various distances against time
follows:
One mile-Dan Patch, 1905, 1:55 u.
Two miles-The Harvester, 1916,
