These are the men who are building the League. The fact that the League is on the map in the northwest corner of Pem- bina county is largely due to the ef- forts of Fred Hurley, who not only gave two days of his time to the work but saw that the organizer and his car were well housed each night while in his vicinity. James A. Jameson promised to spend one day with the organizer south of Walhalla and kept his word. At the last house two new members and a nmighty good supper were added to the League. W. E. Strong was busy at work at his new home east of Walhalla but spent a day steering the organizer thru LaMoure township. The Best farm near Walhalla has five boosters for the League who are ready to do all they can to push the work in their locality. Mrs. Best came to Pembina county twenty-seven years ago and, with her daughter and three sons, is heart and soul in this gigantic movement for a better deal for the farmer. Fred Hurley of Walhalla township came to Pembina county in 1879 and took both a homestead and a tree claim. Later he married there and row has two fine sons to help him in his experimental work for the Great Northern Railway. When asked by the LEADER representative what he thought of the League he remarked: “I think it is one of our greatest opportunities.” William Qunnell is a young man but a worker for the League. He was born, in Pembina county thirty years ago and has always lived five miles cast of Neche. At present he is man- aging his mother’s farm, but insists that a farmer’s work is not done un- til he has something to say about the tal ) v \ - Home offlce, Fargo, N. D. Anthony Walton, Minet; THE NONPARTISAN LEADER laws of his own state. Mr. Qunnell did, not stop with his own township but never got out of the car until he could turn the organizer over to a good man in the township east of him. Newton Lee falms the land his father took a3 a homestead in 1880. It lies north of Walhalla in Pembina county, but this did not prevent Mr. Lee from helping the organizer thru ‘the township south of there. Mr. O. Pepin, near Walhalla, did not take lang to tell the LEADER report- er what he thought of the League: “It is practical and, if we all do our part, we can make it a success.” Mr. Pepin came to Pembian county twen- ty-three years ago and has farmed ever since, so realizes the importance of organization. Emil Mettleman homesteaded south of Walhalla, Pembina county, in 1896, tho he came to the state fourteen years earlier. Mr. Mettleman express- ed himself as follows: “The League idea is a good one, but everyone must push it. It will succeed, but we must make it succeed. No one else will.” James A. Jameson spent a day in the League car and found a good, man to go with the organizer the day fol- lowing. When asked by the LEADER representative if he thought the League would do what it set out to do Mr. Jameson replied: “Yes, I believe it will, but everyone must help.” The Jameson farm is near Walhalla. A good dinner and a pleasant family awaited the organizer at the home of William Armstrong, south of Wal- halla. Mr. Armstrong came to Trail county in 1877, when yet a boy. In 1889 his father homesteaded in Pem- bina county, securing several natural springs that are very valuable. Mr. Armstrong nowd owns this farm and wants a fair market for its products. W. ‘B Hancock, near Pembina, not only gladly signed, up but promised to go with the organizer a day or two whenever called upon. Mr. Hancock came to -Pembina county in 1905 and To the Grain Growersof North Dakjota; In 1911, there was formed, by farmers, a corporation, for the handling of grain on terminal markets, known as the Equity Co-operative Exchange. : and Superior, Wis.

J M. ANDERSON Pres. Board of A. W. Ditmer, Velva; is now the possessor of a fine farm and large herd of blooded Holsteins. All he lacks is a good market and is not clow to say. so. Walter Welford gives his ppst of- fice as Neche, but his farm is about half way between that town and Pem- bina, along the Canadian border. Mr. Welford has- been in the legislature and realizes the folly of sending men to Bismarck to do what they please. The last thing he said to the organ- izer was to offer his services in any capacity to further the work of the League. It is this treatment that en- . courages our organizers to work early and late with a smile that never comes off. * Make your time worth money. You can. § Yo““g Man' L‘Sten' do it now.
