FARMERS AND WORKERS.
Combine With Excellent Results to Eliminate Excessive Costs.

The food speculators, middlemen, and other prohteering parasites are getting some hard Jolts in the Province of On tario. Canada. The city workers and the farmers have at last come to realize their identical interests in the common struggle for freedom from exploitation
 Their weapon is cooperation the one sure method of eliminating the graft which bleeds both the producer and the consumer.
 The United Farmers Cooperative Company of Ontario began by cutting out the middlemen in the meat busienss
 They osld live stock direct from the farmer with such success that they now control one-third of the business of the big Toronto stock yards, with turn over that will total $5,000,000,000 for 1920. Such an achievement caused the farmers to ask themselves: Since the farmer produces the food which the town worker must eat, and the town worker produces articles essential to life on the farm, why can they not be brought together through consumers cooperative stores i'll the larger cities and towns of Ontario? So the farmers secured an expert manager, bought out large wholesale house in Toronto, and are now operating a string of stores that are piling up business of Sl00OO,00O year Their ultimate goal Is to put consumers cooperative store into every town and village i'll the province as binding link between the farmer and the town worker This will soon put an end to the extortion of monopoly prices from the producing classes for the necessities of life which they them selves have produced.
 A significant result of the farmer labor cooperative movement in Ontario has been to draw these workers into a close political alliance. Once two groups recognize that they have com
 mon economic interests, 1t is not a long step to political solidarity. The farmer
 labor group has 45 candidates in the
 field for the coming provincial election,
 with splendid prospects for victory in a | majority of the districts. Not only in Ontario, but in every European country ! where the producing classes have come | into political power economic co-opera- | ton preceded unity at the polls. When men learn to cooperate as producers and consumers, they soon come to vote together for the common welfare.

PRESIDENT GOMPERS
 SAYS OF ELECTION RESULTS
Non-Partisan Political Policy of American Federation of Labor More Completely Justified Than Ever-Labor' Patriotic Stand Declared.

The non-partisan political policy of the American Federation of Labor Is more completely justified than ever and the futility of separate party action more convincingly demonstrated.
 Every man in the House whose rec ord of service was perfect has been re- elected
 Incomplete checking already shows that 50 congressman who were incon- siderate and hostile have been defeated.
 This is one of the most impressive features of the entire election. Fifty time servers have been beaten.
 Agoinst these 50 who were defeated the working people have elected 5 to 60 men whose records show fair and considerate service.
 This represents a clear gain for in tegrity in government.
 The new Congress also will show an increased number of men who hold union cards. Incomplete checking up of the results so far shows Is elected to the new Congress with the probability that final counting will show more than 20, possibly 25
 It is not to be said that the election was satisfactory in every respect Every forward looking man and woman must feel some deep regret because of the great plunge toward reaction. But democracy will right itself at the proper time and meanwhile the actual tabula- tion of results in Congress, the law making body, shows definite and specified gain for all that makes for progress and response to the needs of our time.
 The non-partisan campaign of the American Federation of Labor was pri- narily and most effectively a campaign in congressional districts Its results were gained in the primaries and in the election. Thees results will serve as a constant reminder to all servants of special privilege and the ever-present and always impressive fact will be be- fore the new Congress that SO of the unfaithful and the hostile were defeated by the organized workers of our Re public
 A notable American has said, q would rather be right than be Presi- dent" To be engaged in a righteous cause, to fight for freedom, for justice, for peace and human brotherhood, IS of greater concern to the human family than IS passing success. The labor movement of America recognizes the tremendous struggle of the masses of the people in all history to obtain the right, and the setbacks they have often had to endure and the sacrifices they have had to make, decade by decade. cycle by cycle, in the march and the trend of the cause of freedom of Amer ica, forward, onward and upward
 Shortly the names of the men who have been fair and just and who have been reelected and of those who have been unfair and antagonistic and de feated will be published by the Amer ican Federation of Labor

 Surgeon General Cumming of the Public Health Service says of the venereal diseases: These diseases (gonorrhea and syphilis) constitute one of the greatest menaces to the health and efficiency of the American people today. Many women are made invalids for life because of gonorrhea, and large numbers of babies are hopelessly blind because of it. Syphilis causes 1ocomo- and paralysis.

In circular letter addressed to

some of the common questions that
arise in regard to the income tax as
it relates to farmers. Respecting the
matter of wages Of children ne says:

der I'll for the reason that the total
income of father, mother, and minor
children is taken together in one re-
turn as the family unit. Furtner-
more, lin the eyes Of the law, the
wages of minor children are the pro-
perry Of the parent. In the case OF
children more than 81, one can not
claim wages for farm work for sucn
children, unless wages are actuaiiy
paid. This ruling should greatly en-

MINI. State Fair Makes
Net Profit of $780, $3.50
The 1919 Exposition Breaks Almost
All Previous Records, Secretary's
Annual Report Shows

Nearly every previous record es-
tablshed by the Minnesota State Fair
was broken by the 1919 exposition,
according to the report of Secretary
Thomas H. Garfield to the Minnesota
State Agricultural Society.
The net profit from operation OF
the fair reached $160,586.70 IAN in
crease of $49,379.30 over 1918, the
most profitable year up to that time.
The total attendance was 581 CAB,
breaking the previous high record by
139,z7S admissions. The total 1e-
.ceipts for the fair exclusive of all ap-
prorria' .ons, were $446,598.52.
The largest sum spent for perma-
nent improvements for many years
was expended in 1919, $121 ,454.84
being used, for that purpose. In adj
-dition, Sal, 630.66 was spent for main
tenance and repairs. At the close of
the fiscal year, Nov. 80, there was
$4O7 ,051.61 in the treasury, of which
100000 was given the fair by the
legislature as the first installment of
the 100000 which is to be used this
year for the big livestock exhibit
barn now under construction for the
coming fair.
The toal value of land and build
ings of the fair is $1,750,936.62. By
the close of the coming year it will
exceed 100000, giving it the high
est valuation of any fair in the
world. Of this sum over one-half is
due to the increase in value OF the
grounds and re-investment of the pro-
fits of all the fairs in the property.
Since the Minnesota State Agri-
cultural. Society which operates the
Minnesota State Fair, is depart
ment of state, its officers elected and
duties defined by statute, all its pro-
perty belongs to the state. It's ac-
counts are audited by the State Pub
lie Examiner at the close Of each
year. All money is deposited with
the state treasurer. All profits made
by the fair are always invested in inn
provements to fair grounds property.
The 1920 Fair is tobe held in Sep
TENDER from 4th to 18th, opening on
one Saturday and closing onthe fol-
lowing one.
