Kern of Minnespta asks: “Who hand- ed us the Farm Bureau?” Well I can tell him for Iowa. The Greater Iowa- _association, a big business organiza- tion, or they at least bragged they:did, With ‘the open or secret:help: of big business, like in my state; it was easy to spread the bureaus fast, as the peo- ple during the time it was put out were ripe to join a farmers’ organiza- tion, and it was a shame it could not have been a. real one, for now many will leave it who can not be induced to join another, because they will think it will be a fake again. 1so, if it was a real farm bureau and helped to do the farmer good they would not need to tie them up five years like they do now, which is done to keep them out of the League. for at least five years, when they hope to have the latter killed. NIC KLEIN. Hudson, Iowa. PLENTY FOR WAR Editor Nonpartisan: Leader: The Baer cartoon published. on the front page of your July 25th issue was cer- tainly a good one and right to the point. “Millions for destruction but not one cent for production.” Think of it! Yet this is the slogan of congress today and of every state in the Union with the exception of North Dakota. Where shall we land with such “pi- lots” on every ship of state? The farm producing class of Amer- ica is going bankrupt, with empty pockets, a hundred times faster than our great railroad systems that are about to face the wall with their pock- ets lined with gold; yet congress says: “We are here to help you.” But what do they tell the farmers, the very backbone ‘of the nation? “We have millions for the railroads, for war, hell and destruction, but we can’t af- ford to spend a dollar for production.” That is the answer and with:it we are held up and robbed at every turn of the road..

HE Leader circulation man gets dozens of enthusiastic letters Tevery week from Leader boosters who are doing:a priceless ~-service for:us and for the cause of organized agriculture. The other day ‘he showed me one that particularly pleased him. It is worth printing in full, and here it is: “I am more than glad that I told you I would act as your circu- lation representative in my township and the adjoining township.- As I wrote you, I don’t have much spare time; especially at:this time of the year. But I find I.don’t need any spare time to place: the Leader in homes where it has not been going. I just use the oceca- sion of a chance meeting with a neighbor to talk about the Leader and show him something.interesting in a late copy. I send herewith four subscriptions I got last week, It may interest you to know how I got them. One was gotten from a neighbor who drove home from town with me in my good old flivver; two I got at the town board meeting, where several farmers appeared with me to petition about a road, and the fourth is from a friend in the township west of me:who stopped to talk at my place for a few minutes after he had borrowed an extra binder part that I happened to have and that he needed. “T find that the fame of the Leader has gone before it. These farmers whose subscriptions I am sending you have never-been members of the League—they haven’t been quite ready to actually join with the goodly number of the rest of us in this neck of the woods who have been in for several years.. But they are interested in the League. They have occasionally seen copies of the Leader; or at’least heard about it. It is easy to convince them that $1.50 is little enough to spend to keep informed about the great League movement, and the Leader articles—information that we get no- where else—sells - the paper on its merits, regardless of the League. I consider I am doing farmers a favor to call their attention to the Leader. “But these farmers are going to be Leaguers sooner or:later— they can’t help it if they read the Leader. I hope your other agents are making good. We've got to put.the Leader into every farmer’s hands. If all of us would do a little work we could make our:circu= lation a million in no.time. Nothing better: to push the League, in my opinion. Let’s keep: up our League memberships and push the Leader. Those John Lord articles-are hitting the ball-—I'expect to send you several more subscriptions on the strength of them alone. “Received from you yesterday the list of your expiring sub- seribers in my district and will see that they know they can renew through me. There wen’t be any difficulty in getting all their re- newals, pending the arrival of the League organizer, for I know all of them. They will rejoin the League, too, without doubt, but. will not want to miss the paper between now and the time our county committee and state office get the organizers to work here on re- enrollment in the League. Good luck to the whole Leader staff.” The farmer who wrote the above letter is doing a service for the cause that money can not pay for. Like our other circulation representatives—nearly 200 of them at this writing—we send him a liberal commission, but the work he and our other agents: are do- ing is a service for the cause that no commission could pay for. This man’s letter explains how the League has become the great power it is, and why the Leader, we feel sure, will one day go-intoa majority of the farm homes of America, with its message of hope and organized action that will one day redeem agriculture and make it a safer and more profitable business. This farmer says he considers that it is doing a friend or neigh- bor a favor to call his attention to the Leader. You can do your friends a favor in the same way—show them how and where they can learn things of great importance “to agriculture. If you are with us in this great cause, why not let us tell YOU our circulation plan, and send you our offer to circulation represen- tatives? Af least call the attention of someone who would be in- terested to the following blank.—Adv. WRITE PLAINLY Date T LR Cireulation Department, Neonpartisan Leader, " ' Box 2072, Minneapolis, Minn. .
