5000 FARMERS ATTEND
LAND O'LAKES MEET
AND HAVE A BIG TIME

Five thousand Minnesota farmers,
from all sections of the state, with
many of their wives, daughters and
friends, gathered Thursday and Fri
day, March 5 and 9, at the Land
O'Lakes building, Northwestern Term
inal, Minneapolis, for the seventh
annual meeting of the Land O'Lakes
lCreameries, Inc.
By far the biggest and most i'm
pressive roundup. of farmers that has
taken place in Minnesota in num-
Der of years, this great Land O'Lakes
meeting will go down in history as the
most successful and enthusiastic an
nual meeting of the cooperative as
sociation held to date in the Gopher
state.
Having prepared for a maximum
crowd of $500 people, officers of the
Land OLakes organization were met
with and served dinner to 1920 people
on Thursday, the opening day of the
big two-day meeting. Visitors con-
tinued to pour in Thursday night and
Friday morning, however, and by Fri
day noon convention badges and pro-
grams had been given out to more
than five thousand visitors.
From the time that President John
Brandt swung his gavel for the open
ing of the meeting Thursday morning
until final adjournment Friday after
noon at 4 o'clock, there was not a
dull moment or the slightest delay
on the big, diversified program, which
contained more amusement numbers
than a high-class vaudeville show,
sandwiched in between addresses and
reports of officers and directors.
Educational features on the we'll
balanced program were in line with
the high standard set by the enter
tainment numbers, which were far
above the average.
Farmers and their wives who made
the trip to the Twin Cities for this
meeting were amply rewarded for the
time and expense incident to the
trip. All were loud in praise of the
big meeting, which was an eye-opener
to hundreds who never before had
attended Land OLakes annual meet
ing.
Financial reports submitted at the
meeting showed that Land O'Lakes
Creameries, Inc, did gross business
of more than forty-six million dollars
in the year 1927. The organization
wound up the year in the strongest
financial position that it has been in
since its organization.
At the concluding session Friday
afternoon, the following officers and
directors were reelected without OPP
position:
Officers: John Brandt, president;
Henry Arens, first vice president; e.
o. Melsness, second vice president;
A. L. Veigel, secretary; Isaac Emer-

WE are the playthings of our
w instincts, emotions, and im-
pulses. I have chosen the word
emotions" because it Is sort OF
halfway station between our in
stincts and our impulses. We may
by well developed intelligence
and will power, both evolved as
habit elements in our character,
either repress or direct these con-
trolling factors of our being. Or
we may give some other outlet
to the energy within us which
seems to clamor for expression in
some one of these elemental fac
tors. When this is done. the
process is called sublimation. Tho
desire for power IL one OF the
most important drives we know.
There are many signs among
British land possibly Americana
industrial workers to show that
their instinct towards power and
mastery is cramped. Apart from
the obvious symptoms of strikes
and unrest, the amusements or
this class are very significant.
Betting is a typical outlet for re-
pressed energy and the desire for
superiority. If you cannot be

tion~ to back a winner. To be

fort to the man who feels he IL
an under dog in the fight for
existence. A better compensation
still Is watching football Tor base
BALD. The struggle is for the
moment our struggle, and when
the fighters are our own friends
or townsmen we are even more
intensely identified with them.
Equally significant is the more
educated office workers passion
for detective stories. The healthy
boy and the highly imaginative
man find a more satisfactory
power fantasy in adventure stor-
les, but the sedentary clerk finds
it less of a tax on his imagination
to identify himself with the de-
tective hero who performs master
pieces of deduction and chases
criminals in the familiar sur
roundings of his own life. Not
that novels. theaters, and cinemas
are unhealthy in themselves, for
certain measure of fantasy is
necessary to the healthy man.
Nevertheless. a mans repressions
are reflected pretty accurately in
the books and cinemas which he
prefers.
Few people succeed entirely In
sublimating their instructive desire
for power, and very many fail
almost completely. Everyday
manifestations of failure are jeal-
ousy, petty tyranny, quarrelling,
irritability, some forms Of morbid
cruelty, left-handed forms OF
mother love, and certain kinds or
invalidism. Jealousy Is probably
less a thwarting of the sexual
instincts than the result of inter-
ference with the love of power
and ownership. Sexual jealousy
is often regarded as a mark or
virility, but if people realized
that 1t causes most of the blood
shed and misery in the world
they might think less of 1t. To
feel jealousy means a refusal to
face a deep feeling Of inferiority.

Jim Evans killed Evan Trimbell

Two grouchy old bachelors, pick

Fifteen years ago Evans hens
