At meeting the Junior club en-
tertained the audience with a debate
that was enjoyed by all present, and
much surprise was expressed at the
ability of the young men and girls.
The entire evening was taken up and
no business meeting was held. On
next Tuesday evening they will pre-
sent mock-trial, or Kangaroo
Court" which will be we'll worth 60
ing to hear. Everyone is invited.
This local has been challenged to
a joint debate by the Fairfield union,
which has been accepted and will be
held at the Fairfield school house on
Brundige, Wagner and Biesemeier
Swedes. The disarmament question
will be discussed.
We are pleased to see that our CO.
operative elevator has been taking
care of the stock shipments from
ing been shipped lately. We can just
as we'll bunch and ship our stock
from here as to haul it several miles
farther to some other point.
Our insurance agent has been writ
ing some insurance lately, and it is
important that all members should be
sure that their Farmers Union policy
Is in fcrce. as the season is here for
electric storms, high winds and fires.
The farmers insurance is no longer
an experiment, but has proved just
as reliable as any company. and costs
only one-fifth as much. When some
regular insurance agent drives around
knocking the Farmers Union insur
atae. 4iist keep in mind that he is
talking for that commission that goes
into HID own pocket; also keep post
ed on Insurance companies. rates. re-
sponsibility. dividends. etc. and they
will not be looking for an argument
with you.
Now is the time to BE boosting your
union hail insurance. and every men,
ber should patronize his own company
this year. Remember that last year
was the fret the farmers carried their
own hail insurance; that they wrote
over two million dollars In the state
of Colorado: that they paid all of
their losses in full and had nice sur
plus left ON premium of per cent.
Several members around here had
lcsses. and were well pleased with
their adjustment and settlement. Just
talk to n few OF them and find out for
yourself
We are informed that our union ele-
vator at this place went through the
last s!y months OF the year 1921 and
showed profit. while a large major-
ity OF all elevators over the. country
showed a loss. and quite a number
went broke. The report often comes
TO us that we are paying more for
grain here than at the neighborlng
places. so II seems to us that n com.
plote and wen equipped house and
efficient management and good sales
manship has something TO do with the
profits. Also. when many Of your
customers arc interested In the cle-
vator you are likely to get better pat.
ronage than when they are not. When
ever the farmers realize that they
must consolidate all OF their elova.
tors and own and operate their ter.
minals and have their own market
experts, and statesmen. they VIII be-
gin 10 enjoy cooperation.
Remember. on March 30. the feder.
alton meeting at Holyoke 10 ccmplete
the organization and lay plans for
the consolidation and cooperation OF
all local unions IN this corner OF Colo.
