HOLD INTERESTING
MEETING IN DELTA FRIDAY

The Farmers Union met at the
Community Rooms last Friday even
ing. There was large attendance.
occasioned by the fact that the unions
representative, Mr. Wilson, was to
make his report of the state gather
ing of the union at Denver. Guy Mer-
rift presided and Secretary Hender-
son was in his place.
Mr.. Wilson made very interesting
talk on the state meeting of the
Farmers Union. He told Of some of
the plans which we're being consid-
cred regarding marketing; discussed
the workings of the union, explaining
where the dues which we're paid by
individuals were. spent. The resolu-
tion for per cent usuary law which
the Delta union passed unanimously a
few weeks ago, he said was adopted,
although the rate of interest was
changed to 8 per cent. Mr.. Wilson's
report was listened to with keen IN
terest.
The round table discussion which
followed the delegates report brought
out some interesting matters. Former
Mayor Stewart thought the union
should have a farm bloc" with teeth
in fright here in Delta The mayor
said everything was organized. includ-
ing the banker, hardware man, mer-
chant, blacksmith, barber, automobile
repair man, gasoline man. etc.
A resolution was passed which sug-
gested the lowering of prices in Delta.
Several spoke on the resolution and
the opinion prevailed that it would be
better to work in conjunction with
various Delta organizations than to
resort to any other method. The mer.
chant could not cut his prices with
high-priced help; neither could the
hardware man or blacksmith render
cheaper service to the farmer without
reductions in his line. The remarks
were sound and logical. A committee
was appointed to collect data and re-
port at the next meeting what might
be expected in lowering retail prices
in Delta.
Complaint was registered by rural
patrons of the Delta postoffice. The
matter OF delay in getting mail, even
when rural route patrons called at the
Delta ONCE. was deplored. The mat
ter was placed IN the hands OF com
mittee to appeal to the proper authori
ties.

made a pleasant talk and urged every
farmer to make his wants known to
him. That he was placed in the val
