No. 2, Pekin, N. D., Oct. 15, 1917. Equity Co-Operative Exchange, South St. Paul, TMinn. Mr. Ferguson—Dear Sir: domlng home from St. Paul, I remembered I had forgotten to say good-bye to you people there, and while I believe in criticism when due, I am just as sure to praise any one when it has been earned, and the way you handled my shipment this time makes me believe that you are a lot of nice people from top to bottom, and I will boost for the Exchange whenever I get ‘an opportunity. Sincerely yours, - (Signed) P. A. PETERSON. Litchfield, Minn., Nov. 16, 1917. Equity Co-Operative Exchange, South St. Paul, Minn. Dear Sirs: My car of cattle you sold today far better than I expected. Will have a car of hogs for you to sell soon. Yours truly, (Signed) J. A, LaMONTE. Grey Eagle, Minn., Oct. 10, 1917. Equity Co-Operative' Exchange, South St. Paul, Minn. Gentlemen: Have received returns on the car of cattle and hogs which I shipped you today, and_am well pleased with the sales and the way in which my load was handled. You can expect our future shipments. Yours very truly, (Signed) C. A. WOOD, Mgr. Grey Eagle éhipplng Assn, : Newport, Minn,, March 22, 1917, Equity Co-Operative Exchange, South St. Paul, Minn. i Dear Sirs: Wish to say that I am well pleased with your sale of $9.35 per hundred that you got for the load of cattle that I had consigned to you and sold yesterday. I saw other cattle weighed up that were sold by other com- mission firms, and was surprised that you got $9.356 for mine. Another thing I learned while there was that while other commission firms are bonded to the South St. Paul Exchange, the Equity is bonded to the State of Minnesota. Respectfully yours, © (Signed) VICTOR MUNSON. A LETTER FROM RAY McKAIG Mandan, N. D., Dec. 1, 1917. fquity Co-Operative Exchange, South St. Paul, Minn. Dear Sirs: Having been a cattle raiser in North Dakota for a number of ° years, having had occasion to ship stock to South St. Paul and Sioux City, and knowing the tricks of the commission men and their treatment of the farmers, I welcomed the organization of your Exchange as one of the reliefs from an almost hopeless marketing entanglement. I shipped to you this fall two carloads of stock, and was immensely pleased by the returns that I got. I found that you did not sell these beeves to the speculators, but that you made it a point to get the fairest and the best price possible. You took care of them. You watched over them, and all I can say is that if any man wants to get the best price possible for his stock, he wants to send it to the Equity Co-Operative Exchange, which is a place where the farmer gets a square deal. - . 3 » This recommendation I give of my own free will, and do so gladly. g Yours very truly, (Signed) RAY McKAIG, State Master.

And it is intended to create misunderstand- ing and disruption among our own peo- ple. Such rot circulated by news- papers at this time is most assuredly a great hindrance to the furtherance of our war aims and consequently de- trimental to our nation. JAS. A, M’'CULLOCH. IOWA GANG UNEASY ; Forest City, Iowa. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I enclose clipping from the Des Moines Daily Capital. I believe this ought to be published in your paper. It seems to me that some of the big heads in Iowa are getting quite un- easy. A. A. LARSON. The clipping is too long to reprint. It quotes Woodworth Clum, secre- tary of the Greater Iowa association, a business men’s organization, as “flaying the Nonpartisan league” in the annual convention of the com- mercial club secretaries of that state, a significant place for such an at- tack. Clum called it “pro-German,” and ‘“‘undemocratic,” said it fought against the Liberty loan, ete., etc.,— the same old song that every- one who has read the Leader or heard League speeches knows is false. The worst fault Clum had to find with the League, however, was that it is growing rapidly in Iowa and threat- ening to turn the old line politicians out of office, and that, through its membership fees, it is building up a fund with which to assure election of farmers’ candidates.—THE EDI- TOR. QUITS ENEMY PAPER ‘ Montpelier, N. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I rejoice to see news items in the Leader’s columns such as the one sent in by Mr. Roleofs from Ray- mond, Minn., since I am also a ‘“‘quit- ter” of the Preston Times, all on ac- count of its nasty slams against the League, and what’s more, against my present home state, North Dakota— calling it uneducated and still in its wild and woolly stage. In his tirade on Mr. Townley im- mediately after the League meeting at Preston, he defied the Leaguers to take the bread and butter from his mouth, but when he sees them drop off his list, he’ll retract that statement (to himself). My advice is stick to the League and quit the Times. JOHN NAGEL. FEARS POTATO PROFITEERS ' ~Little Falls, Minn. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Last -year when the potato crop was harvested the farmer sold his. potatoes to the potato dealer at $1 a bushel and the consumer bought them at $4 a bushel. Now, can the profiteers tell me where the $3 went to? S I suppose they will say they do not know, but they do, but they are afraid to tell us. I think the farmer is not getting a fair price for his potatoes, because the middleman buys from the farmer cheap and sells to the consumer at a high price. As soon as the middleman buys the po- tatoes, they are stored up and held for higher prices, so as to get a profit (a big ome, too). If we want to get a fair price for our potatoes we must act quickly and get the unnecessary profiteers out of the game. ‘JOSEPH MOORE. 7 PAGE TWENTY TR T &F.NWBWGQMW.MI_. : ADVERTISEMENTS Where You Get Value Received For Your Money Hotel Metropole -—and— The Cole Hotel European Plan REP.
