The Advantages » of _Milling at Home AN . community milling come back? - The old- fashioned community mills have gradually dis- s inventions: made their methods out of date and because along with this the railroad interests built up great milling centers in the in- terest of the long haul. The farmer gets the distant market price less the long freight haul and the community market price plus the long freight haul back. More than this, the mill by-products are taken out of the com- munity or are brought. back at exces- sive prices to the stock raisers. But there are signs that we have reached the turning point in this 'wasteful system.. The government now owns the railroads, and conse- quently they can be run in the inter- - est of producers and consumers; they are so overburdened, in fact, that the elimination of much of the long haul ~ business will be a decided advantage. The farmers in North Dakota are nearing the end of their long fight for state-owned terminal elevators- and mills. And farmers in all the other states of the Northwest are organiz- ing to put this same thing across. Of almost equal importance is the fact that modern invention has now - given us milling units capable of doing ‘- the. work formerly possible only for the big roller mills.. The old stone Mty ~bubr- mill now has an efficient suc- cessor. Perhaps the milling-of the =3 future will be done by small com- . munity ' mills co-operatively owned, with state-owned mills in the larger centers: to serve. the whole_state. -“ROOSEVELT, THAT’S ENOUGH o g desd & Madison, Wis. : “iEditor Nonpartisan Leader: fi .

Edifor Nonpartisan Leader: Have you got some “We’ll Stick” buttons? Please send me four, two for my father, who is a League mem- ber, and two for me. I am 11 years old and have finished the seventh grade. I surely enjoy reading the Leader and telling men 40 years old about it. When I and a man 40 years old were together he said that there was too much politics in my head. We have had much trouble with the Leader, because we have béen touring for four months- and have not yet .stopped. But when we start to or- ganize in some of those western states, my daddy is going out to or- ganize. And I am going to go with him on my vacation, because I cer- tainly enjoy hearing the glad news about the producer and consumer com- " ing together. T've heard my father say that when one of us youngsters come into the world he saw a dark future for him. But today every- thing looks pleasant for him. When -he got the glad news of the victory in' Minnesota and North Dakota you could have heard him yell back in St. Paul. How I wish I could have been in North Dakota to make a few speeches at those picnics like T did - when Mr. Meitzen was touring the . state of North Dakota in 1917. My teacher in California, Mrs. Jones, went to Santa Zay, Cal,, and saw apples rotting on the ground and another crop coming on. The pro- ducer could not get enough for them to pay the expense of picking them. My daddy just picked up the Leader and read of the meeting at Grand Forks, where Governor Frazier spoke -in the park in the rain to such a large -crowd, while. the chamber of com- merce governor of Minnesota was speaking to a handful of chamber of :_commerce supporters. And Governor Frazier’s - listeners were supporters of the Red Cross, Liberty bonds, War Savings stamps and Thrift stamps. ALVIN PATE. A NEBRASKA MEETING Ord, Neb, Editor Nonpartisan Leader: The members of the Valley county Nonpartisan league held a mass meet- ing July 15. In spite of the fact that farmers were in the midst of harvest some 300 were in attendance. H. D. Liggett of the Ord Quiz, who has taken a kindly attitude toward :the farmers’ movement in his paper, was an invited guest. R A permanent organization was ef- fected, with M. J. Cushing as chair- man, and precinct committees were se- lected. It was decided best not to indorse county candidates for the pri- maries. Mr. Hardenbrook of Arcadia, - ploye .of a.farm line elevator firm; made a pointed address in which he clearly established the farmer’s right: to organize. e A touch of humor was lent to the proceedings by the request that a re- porter of a paper which has been a which he did. - Siaki E. S. Coates offered for adoption _the resolutions of the state convention. The reading — of these resolutions, < which include the promise of support his efforts to win the war and curb profiteering; elicited ' great ‘applause, and they were enthusiastically adopt- .
