woefully inefficient they are.
Cooperative organizations have al
ready accomplished much for both
producers and consumers, and fields
open to them in Minnesota have hard
ly yet been invaded There are 352
cooperative elevators in Minnesota
and they market approximately 40
per cent of the grain grown III this
state. There is a Farmers Terminal
Packing company at Newport, Mimi,
entirely controlled by $4,000 stock
holders, all Of whom are farmers. In
this state there are approximately
$500 cooperative organizations, in
Guiding 16l farmers mutual insurance
companies. They sell their insurance
to the farmers at rate of Is cents
per hundred and most companies
write farm insurance at a rate Of $3.50
or $500 per hundred Mr. Preus esti-
mates that these mutual insurance
companies have saved the farmers in
Minnesota between $20,00O,00O and
$30,OOO,O00. There are $50 cc-opera-
tive creameries in the state and the
consumer pays only per cent more
for his butter than the farmer OBJ
tains for his raw product. Now a
potato exchange has just been estab-
lished and each society of farmers
represented in this exchange runs its
own warehouses.
The agricultural department es-
tablished at the last session Of the
legislature and the farm bureau are
greatly encouraging the cooperative
enterprises. The cooperative law of
Minnesota just recently enacted is Of
vital Importance to these organiza-
tons.

stock was until recently $5,000,00O and

the mutual or cooperative idea, which
is not based on the amount of stock
which any one person holds. No one
but farmer can purchase such stock.
"The company has an elevator at
Fort William, which is leased to it by
the Canadian Pacific railway, and
which has a capacity of 100000. 1t
has another elevator at Port Arthur

To the Voters of the 55th Legislative District,
Comprising Kanabec. Mile Laos and

I hereby announce my candidacy for re-elec-
ton for a second term for State Representative
to the Legislature, and in doing SO desire to
call your attention to the following
That I have fulfilled every pledge and
promise made to the voters in my platform
of two years ago, my record will show. In
my previous campaign I stated in my an
nouncement that I considered agriculture as
the leading industry in this district, and that
the prosperity of our citizens depends almost
wholly upon the success which comes from the
production and the economical distribution of
farm products. l have already served one
term as your Representative at the regular
more than twelve hundred bills were introduced
and considered before that body. How have
voted on these measures what I have done or
left undone. is matter that my record will
show. If my conduct has the approval of the
voters in this district shall greatly appre-
ciate your further support in the coming
election, believing that a man aspiring to
public office should stand or fall politically
because of the record of his past performance.
The knowledge and experience, together with
the acquaintance of legislative matters, which
have gained during my first term, will in
a great measure aid me in drafting, support
ing and passing such further progressive laws
as believe to be for the best interest of the
voters who have in the past supported me

Men to work in the tobacco
Iflelds are scarce-even~ more SO
THAN ever before, state farmers
who are in the city trying to en-
Iploy men to go ON the farms and
assist with the work in tobac-
leo fields. The quest is futile,
however, and there are a number
lot reasons given.
w. II. James stated that the
valuable assistance given by girls
and women during the setting
out period, which it not yet end
led, will probably continue during
the season, for there never has
been such difficulty in getting
men.
The building of many new
roads and the general highway
work, together with street inn

ichlet reasons for the acute short
lage. Wages are better than
ever before in this part Of Ken
lucky but this fact does not bring
the worknen. Many are in the
city Or engaged in road work, it
is said. Few are joining the army
! at this time, although there will
| probably be many to do SO later
in the season.
With harvest approaching. it is
very evident that there will be
even greater demand in the
near future, and the producers OF
this part Of the state are trying to
cope with a condition of affairs
never before presented.

farms are given tents, and thus
