| dred LoOmer and Asmund ABBY.
Mrs. Loomer is at the present time
treasurer of the village of Hibbing
She was born and raised in southern
| Minnesota and is of German origin
| She is a woman of more than ordinary
| ability and has rendered great service
to the Farmer-LabOr movement al
Hibbing and in northern st. Louis
county.
Mr.. ABBY, the other appOintee OF
Mr.. Johnson, is county commissioner
| from the seventh district of st. Louis
county. Mr.. ABBY is we'll known to
the Farmer-Laborites of the north
eastern part of the state and has al
ways been a staunch supporter of the
cause Prior to becoming county CON-
missioner Mr.. ABBY served two terms
as mayor of Chisholm.
Organization Important Says Griffith
George H. Griffith, who has had
charge of organization in the first con-
gressional district has now completed
the work in the entire district except
in the counties of Winona and Hou-
ston. Mr.. Griffith finds sentiment ex-
ceedingly good but is more convinced
than ever that results can only be
had through a strong campaign or
ganization.
''To be specific, l want to say that
what we must have is organiza-
tion and money" says Mr.. Griffith.
while the enemy will have a hun
dred dollars to every one dollar avail
able for the Farmer-Labor ticket, we
can meet that situation if we have
some money and a complete precinct
organization. There are for example,
1877 townships in the first congress
sional district When we have COM
pIeted Winona and Houston counties
we shall have a precinct organization
in the entire district. Suppose each
of these townships is allotted to raise
$20-a sum but little greater than
that paid by the individual member
when enrolled in the Nonpartisan
League-it means that in the district
we will raise for the campaign ap-
proximately $4,000. This is a small
campaign fund and yet with senti-
ment as it exists today that would
mean that the first district would cast
a majority of it's votes for Floyd Oh
son and the Farmer-LabOr ticket in
November
while you don't hear the Repub-
licans talk about the necessity for
raising money. it is absolutely neces-
sary for us to discuss it. The enemy
has always had secret means and
methods of getting money from fat
boys; we cannot hope to get money in
that way. Our funds must come from
the common folks and in just the
ways that | have described"
No doubt the Griffith advice is
sound.

Hydraulic Rams Pump
Water Without Cost.

Modern water systems operated
by hydraulic rams would be an easy
possibility on thousands of farms in
Minnesota, if the facts about rams
were more generally understood, in
the opinion of A. G. Tyler of the agri-
cultural engineering division, Univer-
sity Farm, ST. Paul. Rams are mex
pensive to buy and install, costing
nothing to operate and requiring
practically no up-keep, he says.
Hydraulic rams use the energy
produced by falling water. In some
cases, a fall of as little as two feet
is used successfully. Springs are the
common source of the water, although
creeks may be damned and their en-
ergy utilized if the water is for live
stock or purposes other than drinking.
Rams using as little as two quarts
of water a minute are on the market.
The cost of hydraulic rams will
range from SIS up. An average of per-
haps $50 more will be needed for pipe,
valves, tanks and other equipment.
Many ram installations cost less than
500. The water may be pumped
almost any distance horizontally and
up to $50 feet vertically.
Mr.. Tyler is anxious to secure the
names of users of hydraulic rams in
Minnesota. Persons who have had or
are having trouble may write him at
the address given above. If possible
help will be given through correspond
ence, or by personal visitation. Like
wise persons who are undecided as
to whether a ram would be success
full on their places may write fol
opinions or advice, without charge.
