-JF\DWARD B. RUGER, a farmer of Illinois, who heard of the meeting called at Fargo recently at which farmers estimated the cost of produc- tion and fixed prices-at which to hold their crops this fall, has written some suggestions and comments that ‘will interest North Dakota farmers, as they reflect the feeling of farmers in other states. Mr. Ruger writes from Utica, IlIL, R. F. D. 65, as follows: “Why not combine all farmers on the basis of oats 75 cents, corn $1 and wheat $1.50 per bushel? This could be done, and according to the way other commod- ities are’ selling the above prices are little énough. SRS “This is .the day of unions, combina- tions, etc.—why not combine the farmer . and let him get what is’ coming to him, a living wage and a reasonable day’s work? Eighteen hours™ a day-is too much. Farmers get the poorest help in the country because they-can not-com-> pete with other industries on the wage" EVERYTHING FOR SCHOOLS We sell direct and save you the travel- ing-man’s salary and expenses Write for catalog.

Fair Dealing a Efficient Service PROGRESSIVES FORM LEAGUE A dozen representatives of the Pro- gressive party in North Dakota met in Fargo, Wednesday, August 30, and de-: cided to form the “Progressive League” as the successor to the Bull Moose party. The conference decided upon the indorse- ment of Charles E. Hughes, the republi< can candidate, for president, but took no action in the senatorial contest between Senator Porter J. McCumber and United States Treasurer John Burke. “There were very strong friends of both candidates among those present,” : said Dorr Caroll of Minot, who attended: the meeting, “and we finally decided it~ would be best to make no recommanda-- tion. We can not act as a party in this election, for ‘we have no candidates, but we plan ‘to keep the organization alive - in preparation for the next presidential campaign by~ forming the Progressive League of North Dakota. = ; “It was thought best to take the same course as to state candidates that we did on the senatorship. Practically all those present, however, expressed themselves as favoring the candidacy of the candi- dates indorsed by ' the ' Nonpartisan . League.” = i : [ The Great Consgira_cx -of . the House of Morgan Exposed and a practical plan to prevent its consummation, is a new book just off the press by H. L.

JIf farmers received a reason- able price for their garin and other pro- ducts they could afford to pay wages that are in line and: shorter days. - " “The railroad men want an- eight-hour. day and time and one-half for overtime. Why not give the farmer an eight-hour day and time and one-half for overtime? Farming is harder work than railroad- ing and requires just as much experience and skill, if not more. : . “The government is very anxious for the farmer to grow more corn, wheat, oats and meat to the acre. It is simple. Give the farmer more money for the "above and he can afford. to buy fertiliz- ers, ‘hire expert labor ~and grow two blades of- grass where only one grew before. : S “Anyone with a fair mind and a general knowledge of conditions as they exist at the presnt time can easily see that the farmer is not getting what is coming to him.” . “I/am eliclosing a kodak print of four fine (fld’feflows of éflndo," writes Carl The man on the right is R.

I think this is a step in the right direc- tion. The farmers have been dumping their product on the market and taking whatever is offered regardiéss of cost of production. 'Is there any other business or manufactory that is carried on that If the farmers don’t look: after their is going to profit on their labor. There should be a strong and general organiz-- own affairs in a business way some one . . ation:that should receive a market letter with instructions from a headquarters when to sell and hold back, and an inves- . tigation’ should establish a price based on cost. of production, etc. ' These are Jjust suggestions. I may not be able to attend, but would like to, el te along these lines, ° CHOCOLATES 1Ea " THEY ARE GOOD CHANEY-EVERHART CANDY CO. | ! ' . " Fargo,N. D. e = AV W. D.
