FROM FARMERS HOLD
INTERESTING MEETING
Discussion /. Held ON Many
Important Topics at
Business Session.

The FROM Equitable Farmers
club met at Nels tWillet's last Satur-
day for a., very interesting, meeting.
After an excellent luncheon the gath
erinS separated into the woman's
auxiliary known as the sunshine So
ciety and the mems section, tor onsi-
ness session., Mrs. N .Wallet, presi-
dent, presided at the meeting or the
Sunshine society, where the question
of providing better entertainment
for the young people was discussed.
Plans were laid for entertaining the
young people at parties held at pri-
waite homes and occasionally at the
town hall. Use Of a stereopticon with
slides was suggested for some OF the
meetings. Among other activities the
society will aid in taking care OF the
sick in the community. Other pro-
iects are being handled in very
active and intelligent manner.
At the mems meeting A. w. Hos
kins, president, presided. After dis
posing of routine business, the pos
sibility of organizing a livestock
shipping and produce association was
suggested by Nels Willet. County
Agent Dvoracek was invited to talk,
and took the associations suggested
as topics for discussion. He explained
the advantages of live stock ship
ping association, some methods or
mana gement and success of other as
sociations. He pointed out that such
an organization would provide a
splendid means Of getting the most
out of improductive dairy COWS, and
also the possibility Of using the or
ganization for shipping in better live
stock. The Minnesota Potato Ex-
change was explained and its advant-
ages were pointed out. The building
Of a potato warehouse at Rosby, the
nearest railroad station, was urged,
with perhaps utilization with large
organization at Bemidji, and also az
filiation with the Minnesota Potato
Exchange.

NEW PEACE CONFERENCE
(By United PreSS)

Marion, Dec. 16.-Calling OF a
new peace conference together in the
United States to revise the League OF
Nations covenant or Organize new
association of nations, is one of the
projects under consideration by pre-
sident- elect Harding. The conference
probably will be held in Washington.
Harding has not made a final de-
cision on the proposal but it is under
stood he is seriously considering such
a conference. His. advisors say it
would either re-vamp the existing
league frame work or create an en-
tire new structure. yIntimations from
some of his advisors, were that the
president-elect is leaning toward an
entirely new program OF information
al rel:tions.

port of agricultural development
work by special tax levy was sug-
gested by those present and briefly
discussed.
County Agent 'Dvoracek frankly
stated that county agents are viewed
with more or less suspicion by farm
ers, the farmers sometimes feeling
that the agent is inclined to favor
the business men at the expense Of
the farmer. He maintained that this
attitude is unwarranted. and urged
better understanding and closer CO.
