play cards in coves. unless. per-
chance, they have seen older folk IN

The last Of the Consumers United
Stores Co.. organised by leaders uf
he Nonpartisan league, in %1917-18,
which went into voluntary receiver
ship in March. 1921. and which has
been struggling along in Minot ever
since, will soon be history.
The Minot store the. last in exist
ence in North Dakota, or any other
state, opened its r~eccivership sale here
Thursday with the announcement
that everything would be sold, includ-
ing the stock and all fixtures. !,
The Consumers United Stores Co.
was organized for other leaders Of the
N~onpartisan league by J.. W. Brinton,
then right hand man for A.. c, TOWN
ley. When it was organized farmers
were not sold stock but we're sold
buying certificates for 500 each. The
certificate entitled the holder to buy
per cent. 3 NJ
History OF Minot Store.
The store in Minot had something
like 500 members at the time Of or
g~anization. it is said. Each con-
tributed 500 for the privilege of buy
ing in the store.
When hearings in Minot opened in
April, 1921, for the appointment of
a receiver for the stores. many Of the
farmers who had signed notes in the
deal ~strenuously objected to the ap-
pointment of w. G. Johnson. then
secretary-treasursr Of the stores, as
receiver. After considerable arguing
and controversy, Judge George H.
Mcellring finally appointed c. w.
Reichert of Darlington as the re-
ceiver in place Of Johnson, who vol
unfairly withdrew. :
J. w. Brinton, at the time the
hearings we're on. wired Judge Moell-
ring objecting to the appointment Of
johnson. alleging that he was a tool
of Townley and that he, together with
Townley. had received personal bene-
fits from the stores.
The enforcement Of collection Of
notes this fall signed by farmers for
a privilege to buy in the stores, is said
to have caused several heretofore
strong .Nonpartisau league members in
