Arab Robin Hood.

AL Ikbal, AN Arabic newspaper, re-
ports the escape from Ceylon, whittier
lie was expelled by the British gov
eminent from Mesopotamia, of the no.
toEious Sayid Taleb claimant to the
throne of frak, and known from Basra
to Bagdad as the Arab Robin Hood.
He is stated to be seeking a refuge In
the country of Ibn Saud, the sultan Of
Nejd, who, according to Moslem law,
will be compelled to offer him hospi-
tally. No news Of Taleb's escape,
however, has reached official circles in
London, where it is declared that Ibn
Saud, who is in receipt of subsidy of
100000 year from the British gov
eminent, will doubtless inform the high
commissioner Of Mesopotamia of the
arrival Of his unwelcome guest. Sayid
Taleb attempted to influence the re-
cent royal election in Mesopotamia in
his favor by corruption and bribery,
and he was about to declare war on
the British government with handful
of followers when he was expelled. .

.5 taneous Growth. s5

What man wins with, Il he wins at
all. Is character, and character is no
spontaneous growth. 1t does not
spring full-armed into the fight against
moral or spiritual foes. As it can
be won, 1t can also be lost-lost merely
through inaction, slothfulness, and
failure to cultivate it. Here again the
philosophers speak with much clear
ness. HE that wrestles with us"
said Burke, 8 strengthens our nerves
and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist
is our helper" Difficulties" said an
other great man, ''are things that
show what men are Another one
speaks Of ''the muscular training of
a philosopher" which, he says, results
In: "A will undisappointed; evils
avoided; powers daily exercised; care
full resolutions; unerring decisions"
The art Of living" as seen by Marcus
Aurelius, lis more like wrestling than
dancing, In so far as it stands ready
against the accidental and the I'M
foreseen, and is not apt to fall" No
man, it has been said, ever grew
good or bad all at once. Goodness or
badness is the result of a process,
and in the former case the process
may be, and usually is, arduous. The
apostle is in agreement with the
philosophers, with whom indeed he
has much in common: $50 run that
We may obtain. And every man that
striveth for the mastery is temperate
in all things. Now they do it to OBJ
tain corruptible crown; but we an
incorruptible. I therefore so run, not
as uncertainty; so fight I, not as one
that beateth the air; but keep under
my body, and bring it into subsection !;
lest that by any means, when I have
preached to others, myself should be
castaway." Through it all runs the
note Of effort and struggle, and in it
there is warning against one of the
most demoralizing and enfeebling OF
faults-which is slackness. The object
which all these teachers had in
mind was the ''soul well-knit," which
is an essential element in a strong
character-indeed the very center Of
it, and quite Indispensable to it. But
the "soul well-knit" is the product of
life's discipline bravely endured, and
wrought into character.-Indianapo

Lumber Waste for Fuel.

"H0g fuel" consisting of sawdust,

the northwestern lumber fields, but
only as an incidental; and the dis

SUSP AllDE / Son
DIRECTORS REFUSE TO ACCEPT
EQUITY CHIEFS REsIGNA-
TloN BUT SUSPEND HIM

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 16:-Ohficial
a11nounc cement that J. M. Anderson,
president and general manager Of the
Equity Cooperative Exchange, had
been suspended by directors Of the u.
S. Grain Growers, Inc, as their vice
president and chairman of the sales
committee was made here at Northwest
headquarters of the company this
week. - .. ,-' i
Early last week, Mr.. Anderson,
through the twin city papers, announ-
ced that he had resigned. This brought
forth an explanatory statement from
Frank M. Myers, secretary Of the U. S.
Grain Growers, in which he said:
"When our directors held their last
quarterly meeting, January to Z at
Chicago, they had before them Mr.. An
derson's profered resignation. They
sent him a telegram asking that he
meet with them when his action came
up for consideration. His failure to
do so, even after the board had re-
manned in session an extra day in order
to meet his convenience, made it i'm
possible to- accept his, resignation until
he, at least, has made full statement
of business already transacted in our
name.
cit was the desire of officers and
directors of the U. S. Grain Growers, to
use the Equity Cooperative Exchange
to the greatest possible extent in the
Northwest. However, when the mat
ter of actually drafting contract came
to hand, it became evi dent that the
Equity insisted upon exclusive rights
insofar as the markets Of st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Duluth, and Superior were
concerned.
"The U. S. Grain Growers could not
enter into any such an agreement for it
would have closed the doors to farmers
in Minnesota, where ten years Of edu-
cation have not convinced them that
the Equity is the solution Of their grain
marketing problems. The Committee
Of Seventeen plan is not committed
to the signing away Of exclusive rights
to any single agency.

Stockyards Fight Taken to Harding

0VONny oAuo { ASAt xdhCA w A1dANAA8
Minnesota farm organizations have
carried their fight for effective stock
yards regulation straight to President
Harding.
Charles B. Crandell, president of the
Central Cooperative Commission asso'
citation, and J. F. Reed, president of
the Minnesota Farm Bureau federation,
went to Washington to urge co-opera-
ton of the federal government with
the state of Minnesota in supervising
the South St. Paul stockyards. As in
terpreted by the United States depart
ulent Of agriculture the new federal
stoekyards control act would prevent
The state from continuing it's present
public weighing Of livestock, and vir
t,1ally abolish all state regulation.
The federal act is much less drastic
than the present state law. Represen-
batives of the farm bureau, the central
cooperative association, the Minnesota
Livestock Breeders Association and
the Minnesota Livestock Shippers AS
sociation have united in an appeal to
she federal government to permit the
state to continue it's weighing service.
They contend that the fees charged for
weighing are more than repaid in the
protection and service furnished the
farmers by state regulations, and that
the livestock shippers would have to
pay the entire cost of private weigh
ing indirectly if state control ends.

IOCK ACENC
VOTES VIDE Fl ID
FARMERS CENTRAL AssoCIA
TON TO GIVE BACK FOURTH
OF ALL COMMISSIONS REED. II

South st. Paul, Jan. l9:-The CEN
traized livestock marketing agency es-
tabhshed six months ago by Minnesota
farmers today announced IS per cent
patronage dividend, amounting to
more than all the money paid into it's
treasury by its member associations.
It also announced an eight per cent
stock dividend. ~-~ 4,
& The issuing of the dividend, officers
said, means that the Central Co-opera-
tive Commission association has hand
led the largest volume Of business on
the South St. Paul livestock market at
one half the cost Of marketing through
non cooperative agencies.
The total dividend to be paid by the
association on business done from Aug
s to Dec. 81, 1921, amounts to $l9,'
"a 124.22.
It's total receipts in commissions
amounts to only So, 360.S5, according
to state auditors. The payment of the
dividend constitutes a return to the
farmers Of one fourth of all the money
they have paid to their central selling
organization for handling their live
stock. The actual saving to farmers
is twice the amount Of the dividend,
officers said, because the farmers
association has handled the farmers
livestock at commission rates approx
imately 25 per cent lower than the
prevailing charges.
After paying the dividend and all ex,
penses, the marketing agency will have
surplus of several thousand dollars
The dividend amounts to $2,349 more
than the total paid in to the capital
Of the association.
Records of the state railroad and
warehouse commission show that from
Aug. to Dec. 81, 1921, the farmers
agency handled 4, 424 cars of stock.
No other firm on the market handled
as large volume of business in the
whole IL months Of 1921.
The same records show that in its
first five months of operation, the cen
trail agency handled 1918 cattle; 49,
$50 calves, ,S45 hogs and 5000
sheep. The total business for the five
months amounted to 295,912 head Of
livestock, with gross value of more
than $5,OO0,0OO.
The directors of the farmers central
cooperative livestock agency also an
nounced today that j. S. (Joe) Mont
gomery has been selected to succeed w.
Montgomery was closely associated
with Mr.. McKerrow until his death,
having served with him in livestock ex-
tension work for years, and as field re-
preventative and assistant in the or
