.Milling at Home
ilAN
community milling
.come back? The old
fashioned community
mills have gradually dis
appeared because new
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methods out of date and because along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
consumer of flour pays the distant
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 sijgns 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
1 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
stateB 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
buhr mill now has an efficient sue*
eessor. Perhaps the milling^of the
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
If-'*" Madison, Wis.
^Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
Writing in the Kansas City Star,
th,at avowed mouthpiece of the ghouls
Jhat prey on suffering poverty, Theo
dore Roosevelt, the- great champion
©f-SA-merican institutions, especially if
they are Big Biz institutions, calls
Tom Mooney a dynamiter and mur
derer. This reference to Mooney is
in strong contrast to the, report of
the committee sent to California by
the president. It urged that the presi
dent use his good offices to secure
Mooney a fair trial.
Evidently any one who does npt
eater to Big Biz, in the opinibn of this
political accident, is at once an an
archist or anything else this egotis
tical mountebank wants to call him.
It is my opinion that the president
of the Nonpartisan league should
congratulate himself for earning the
enmity of the Kansas City Star and
its associate editor, Theodore Roose
velt.
The best indorsement for the Non
partisan league and for its president,
A. C. Townley, that I know of is that
discredited politicians of the Roose
velt stripe can not use it as a bandr_
wagon to ride into power.

A BOY LEAGUER IN CALIFORNIA
Kerman, Cal.
Editor 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 bisen 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, bechuse I cer
tainly enjoy hearing the glad news
about the producer and consumer com
ing together. I'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 I 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
JVrks, 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.
The members of the Valley county
Nonpartisan league held amass 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.
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,
Neb., an- attorney and a former em
ploye of a farm line elevator firm,
made a pointed address in which he
clearly established the farmer's right
to organize.
A touch of humor was lent to the
proceedings by. the request that a re
porter of a paper which has been a
bitter enemy of .the farmers retire,
which he did.
E. S. Coates offered for adoption
the resolutions of the state convention.
The reading of these resolutions,
which include the promise of support
to President- Wilson and approval of
his efforts to win .the war and- curb
profiteering, elicited great applause,
and they were enthusiastically adopt
ed.
After a jhort talk by J. Thull, to
whose efficient work the success of
the League in Valley county is largely
due, the convention adjourned. Cer
tainly every member left the hall with
a larger conception of the strength
and importance of the League and a
renewed spirit of enthusiasm,
We'll stick.
