Patton, Waverly, Mo., writes: “I'fed 2 boxes of ‘More Eggs’ to my hens and broke the egg record. -I'got 1500 eggs from 160 hens in ex- actly 21 days.” You ean do as well. Any poultry raiser can easily double his profits by doubling the egg pro- duction of his hens. A scientific tonic has been discovered that revitalizes the flock and makes hens work all the time. The tonic is called “More Eggs.” Give your hens a few cents’ worth. of “More Eggs,” and you will be amazed and delighted with results. “More Eggs”" will double this year's production of eggs, so if you wish to try this great profit maker, write E.

BOX 304 ONLY Pin_a doflar bill to | ST. PAUL, MINN. WISE TO HORNBLOWERS Kearney,. Neb. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Find inclosed a clipping from the Kearnay Daily News. I am rather late in sending it but it might be of some value to your paper. It shows how politicians are trying to blow their'horn and run the farmer vote into the old-gang stable, but they can’t count on me and "a thousand other farmers around here for- we will vote for the right man and not for the hornblowers. % G. W. MUELLER, - The clipping Mr. Mueller sends in gives a fishy story calculated to make the farmers think that the League was working for the re-election of Governor Neville, the man who did all he could, and more than he could law- fully, to stop League organization in Nebraska. In their fight with an en- emy without principle, the farmers need not only organization but their best wits in avoiding the hornblowers in the kept press. Think of the lies against the League, the false arrests, the official mob violence that have been proved to' be without foundation. If proof of rascality could sink the old gang, where would it be? The farmers’ independence slogan must be “Organize, watch, work and vote? LEADER HELPS FARMER PAPER %% ~Grand Forks, N, D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: .

WANTS MONEY REFORM P Paris, Texas. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Citizens, let us demand that our government turn its notes into legal tender money and pay them out for all purposes among the people instead of allowing a lot of private money lend- ers to issue their own notes in the form of money and assess an interest toll of 6 to 400 per cent annually on the money needs of the American people. This latter method is the scourge of civilization and a failure on the part of our government to remove this scourge leaves us in the grip of plu- tocracy, which is only a modified form of the old autocracy which has been . cursing all Europe and Asia for cen- turies. - ) Let us go forward and give to hu- - manity - its just dues and unburden our people from the oppressive hand of idling money grafters. ; P. A. SPAIN. Mr. Spain’s letter suggests a sub- ject to which farmers especially should give considerable study. No one of them probably doubts the se- rious evil of our money and credit system, but most of us are considera- bly at a loss in suggesting a way out. The money power has no competition. It controls the issue of money and the rate of interest. Yet all our credit which banks sell back to the people is made by the people themselves. Their honesty, their industry and their pros- pects of future success is the basis of all credit. More than this, what stand- ing would the banks have-if the peo- ple, through their government, did not regulate and inspect them and thus virtually guarantee their. integ- rity - Why should a very few of the people have monopoly .control over this socially created thing which all the people need? g Qe TRUSTS GRANGERS FIRST Walla Walla, Wash. Editor ‘Nonpartisan Leader: Our “intensely” patriotic citizens who drove the Grange convention out of Walla Walla, recently elected a full-blooded Austro-German, Doctor Sumers, who was born in Austria and lived, studied and married in Ger- many. He is a Republican. He may be a real American patriot, but .I would - rather ' chance the Grangers and Mr.Bouck. I want to see the income tax con- tinued and graduated so as to take in all above $100,000 a year. And let us have government ownership of the public utilities, the natural re- sources and the market facilities. e -A. L. McFARLANE. A LAWYER'S OPINION b Missoula, Mont. ‘; Successful Farming, - / Des Moines, Iowa. ; & Gentlemen: I like your magazine "in a great many ways but I was sur- prised to see you “get off on the ~wrong foot” in regard to the Non- partisan league, which I consider. one of the greatest movements for the : _betterment of the farmer and the masses of the people who are suffer-' ing from the extortions of the com- mercial “barons;” this country has known, ; : .1 have been in close touch with all the farmer movements in this country since 1880 and consider the League as the “most scientific . and systematic ‘method: of ‘organization for the com- ‘mon.good ‘and: welfare ‘of the,coun_try - ‘The “reason ' the fopfiibsfitriop. * :,hai:e i - Townley -afid'£:e League is that the Yownley, and the Le Letters From Our Readers is a menace to their feudalistic .ex- actions” from the people.” I do not wonder at the attitude of the “pros- titute press” of the country condemn- ing this agrarian movement, but it was with considerable surprise that I: noticed your editor had joined voices with the clamor against the move- ment. I am not a League member and shall never be, but I-like fair play,’ and so long as the enemies of the League have nothing better to give the ' public than the vicious poison they have been peddling to us in the past, and no better reason for their antagonism than appears in the press they control, I'm for the League and I think all right thinking people who familiarize themselves ‘with the real facts will be also. I hope you will investigate more fully and give us the result of your investigations. > J. L. WALLACE. DISCARDING THE ENEMY » : Yakima, Wash. Editor Spokesman-Review: I am a Granger and also belong to the Nonpartisan league, and after I noticed your editorial in the issue of November 5, where you denounce both the Grange and the League, I came to the conclusion that it was time to call a halt. 2 - ! I shall never forget the mobbing of the Grangers at Walla Walla this fall. Any paper that supports outrages like the Walla Walla affair, can have no space irr my backyard. ; ) L. J. LEBERT. The editorial Mr. Lebert refers to urges voters to knife a candidate be- s cause he is alleged to have the in- dorsement of the Nanpartisan league and the pro-German Grange leaders. Readers of -the Leader will recall the political - frame-up against William Bouck, ‘master of .the Washington state Grange, and it is on this that the Spokesman-Review bases its ab- surd charge of pro-Germanism. A SECOND MAXWELL 3 s Millbore, S. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: i A few miles east of here I mef a farmer who has received a new anti- League booklet through the mails. It is headed “Speech by W. H. Talmage,” Redfield, -S. D. - It surely is the most sugar-coated piece. of poison I have yet seen. A farmer outside of the Leagume would hardly know whether it was a real League book or anti-League stuff. For the most part it is made up of knocks - against Mr. Townley. Talmage, as near as I could make out, for I did hot have time to read it all, is trying to frame up a League of his own and he calls it “the Non- partisan Political league.” He winds up by asking all League members and: others to send him 25 cemts and get “real League stuff.” - What do you know about him ? .- Hoping the Nonpartisan league will get every farmer in the United States, - I am, ~ -Very truly yéurs, = i WILLIAM KOESTER. W. H. Talmage is in many respects . similar to S. R. Maxwell, who re-" cently turned traitor to the farmers’ .. fight for organization and a voice in politics. ' He is a former mimister and was at one time on the Leéague lec- ture staff “and, like “Rev.” Maxwell, kicked over the traces beeause the League harness didn’t suit him,.
