ing for the restoration Of the War
Grain Corporation, at meetings at
th Olson schoo lhouse last Saturday
night and at Stivers Hall, Outlook,
last Sunday afternoon There was
large crowd at both meetings, and at
both of which meetings, Editor
Charles e. Taylor, of the Producers
News spoke. Great interest was TAX
en- in the object of the meetings and
permanent organizations were formed
and officers elected. Clair Stoner was
made chairman and Nels Olson was
made secretary of the community
around the Olson school house, and

At both meetings, petitions were
drawn up and signed, and each sign
er was pledged to write at least three
letters each to United States Sena-
