A gool sprinkling of Bemidji business and professional men and women were entertained by the farm ‘bureau members, who also provided a splendid program of good addresses and sponts. : L. E. Potter, president of the State Farm Buneau association delivered the prineipal address. Mr. Potter clearly outlined the mneed of a na- tional and state organization and pointed out the many things already accomplished by them. He “‘tabooed” the profiteer and de- clared that the profiteer existed on the farm as well as in business. “A square deal,” said Mr. Potter, “ds what the farm bureau wants. It must play square itself in order that the ideals and purpoges set out to ac- complish| be gained. “Cliques must be eliminated. Class legislation must mot be tolqrated) and when legislative bodies have un~ der consideration legislation effecting the farmer, the men who we send there must hear from us, as to. what we need and want. “When the natfonal farm bureau endorses certain measures and these measures do not appeal to you farm- ers in a certain district, please re- member. that the whole of the Unit- od States must be considered and not u pontion of it. Please also rememhber that our interests are not all alike and_ that it is done, for the best f . the whole farming businesa rather- than the favorjng of certain sections: ¢ A AT “We must learn toithink, and think along wight lines ‘and then put our thoughts Into action. Individuals can get nowhere wihile organized bodles can accomplish much provided a certain set program is outlined and followed.” S. B.

He pointed out the need of cooperation among all the farmers and what could be accomplished by a fixed, definyte program. He urged that local unit 'map ot @ definite program and carry it out. The dinner served was excellent. The “goulash” was immensely . ep- joyed, especially by the town folks, who ate, and ate and ate, and then strolled off, under some shade trees, wondering why they didn’'t know enough to stop. After the speaking program the sporting ovents were held in front of the grand stand. The town of Northern won the tug of war, agiinst the Town of Bemidji team. This same township also had {n attendance, 73 mombers, the larg- est Humben of any one of the units.
