Are you aware, brother in ing brokers, track buyers and distnb Equity, who pays those solicitors? The distributor asks you to sign & contract for your crop; charging you five dollars more per car than the Equity, compelling you to ship all your crop as contracted for, and in the event that you do not live up to the contract, they hold you for all dam-bo-ps. returning to you the original draft for vour shipment; accounting tr o-imrv diversion of the car, and to whom sold. We do not pro-rate the sales as others do, but sell your con si o-nments on their merit, charging you not to exceed one per cent on same for the State and ten dollars per car for selling, diverting, collect ing, and placing claim, where potat oes are damaged in snipping, vm tain f-nkas fare of the errower exclus ively. The buyer is on the ground to i-onrncpnl- him self. Net lesults in cash is what secures for- our firms further consignments. Our state board reccomends that our members use a screen, with one and seven-eiehth inch mesh, putting your crop carefully over same, sort ing out the sun-burnt, cut. cracked, and scabbv stock. This is grade JNo. 1. Grade No. 2. is tne eame, except that we allow not over ten per cent scab.

Equity memDers standing ua a mm, means larger profits for the grower when the demand is un limited, and much better prices when the conditions are the opposite. Our expense is less than that of a shipper, our returns are as good, and results show better. We have demonstrated thus far, we can save the members a piofit. We can show you we can con tinue to do so in the marketing of your wop.

The moral advantage which flowed from the successful application of cooperative principle to industrial and social life are not less conspicious or important. Cooperation has shown how the workine- forces of labor and capital can be reconciled with advantage to all concerned where the capitalist and labourer become partners and shares the industry which they jointly produce. LIBERAL Idaho Equity Letter from Pocatello, Idaho, Sept. 15. 1913 Since the introduction of Equity in our state, we have advanced from a mere corporal's guard to six thous and members. Seven counties now or ganized, and Cache county, Utah, with over two hundred members working with us. Our progress has exceeded our most sanguine expectations, and during the busy season, when the far mer must toil every day, sowing, de veloping and harvesting his crop, with but very few spare moments to consider the marketing of the same, W3 are constantly adding new memb ers every day. We did not get the Gem State or ganization perfected until May 19, 1913. The opportunity to purchase grain and potato bags at the best prices had already passed. We were compelled to enter the market when prices were rapidly advancing. Bags were Quoted bv the local dealers as high as sixteen cents each, when we ulaced our order first. Our locals com menced to order bags; car after car were ordered. Two of the largest wholesale houses on the market solifr ited our business. We bought all they had, or could manufacture for us; we continued to buy from other dealers. until todav we are the largest buyers of bags in Idaho. Bags were reduced at all points where Equity was organ ized from sixteen cents down to nine cents. Other dealers sold at cost many dealers refusing to place orders claiming the farmers were getting baes as cheap as they could purchase them. This is a convincing argument for Equity. Bindinc twine was next considered, We investigated prices and found that dealers were asking thirteen to six teen cents cash, adding two to four cents if purchased on time. Equity could deliver the same twine to the consumer for eleven and one-half to twelve cents. We began buying it soon had its effect on the market; prices commenced to fall; in two weeks we were buying from the lo cal dealers at our price; our mem bers patronized the local merchant, and gave them the business. Other farmers, not members, derived the benefit of the reduced price, and came into the organization. We are now so licited by the largest factories and wholesale houses for our trade on bags and twine for 1914. Does Equity nav? Implements, buggies, wagons and all machinery are now offered us, by local jobbers, at reduced prices and wholesale houses in -the East have sent representatives to secure our trade for next season. Headers were reduced sixty dollars, binders forty. five dollars this season, other machin ery in like amounts. We have met with the strongest opposition, and have succeeded in getting reductions. Steel bins that sold for one hundred and fifty dollars we have delivered to the members for less than one hundred dollars. Equity has advanced the price of grain ten cents per hundred pounds, wherever we have quoted prices. At several loading stations the price has advanced from ninety-five to one do! lar and nine cents; this advance has been felt throughout Southeastern Idaho. Local mills are asking for their needs, at our price, rather than hav& it shipped out, and purchase from other sections. We are shipping to the Coast, Den ver and the Southeastern States; we are getting satisfactory results, and can handle any amount of gram, sack ed or bulk. We have a splendid market for po tatoes with two of the best compan ies in the South both under bond for $20,000 they can handle 300 cars per week and never slump the market. The out-look for potatoes is very en couraging; this crop will be shipped on a rising market; and we ask you to beware of the man, dealer, organ ization or firm that solicits your con signments under contract Our prices today, to the grower, for good qual ity and well sorted potatoes is $1.00.

Co Things That Almost Happen Some times Bring Cray Hairs, it is the thluiis tlmt almost bnppen which cause gray hairs in this busi ness rather than the things that actual ly occur," said a Vetera u captain of an excursion boat "Every captain of a passenger carry ing boat has the sinking of the Titanic, the Slocum disaster and such accidents on his mind continually, but somehow It's not the accidents that really occur that bring gray hairs. "My first gray hair appeared when I was thirty-three years old. Then 1 was running a boat to Coney Island, and in the lower bay fog settled down thicker than mush. 1 held a compnss course, and everything went smoothly enough until It was almost time to change tue course and heud from the bay toward Coney. 1 had heard a Doat-Dy ner whistle 1 knew she was a towlug tug pnss me further up the bay. "Even thougn i couiu uui bkc mo bow of my boat 1 was hanging with mv head out of the pilot house window and straining my eyes to see. when my quartermaster, wbo was stanuing on the very peak of the bow, called for me to reverse. I rang for full speed astern and threw the wheel hard to porf. "The fog lifted for an Instant and dead ahead of me I saw a scow with Dynamite' written on her side and a red flag floating above her. 1 knew that meant she was loaded with dyna mite, and the Lord pity us If we run her down. 1 kept the wheel hard over, and it seemed to me the engineer was an eternity in getting the engine re- j versed. We Just grazed the dynamite , scow. 1 learned afterward that she j had been in tow of a tug aud that the ; hawser broke and the tug crew bad . lost sight of the scow In the fog. I "When I got borne that night my ; wife pointed out a gray halr-the Hrst , I bad ever had. 1 "My next bad scare came one Sunday when I was captnin of another excur sion steamer. We were at the pier loading passengerss. There were two, hawsers out to the pier, and the one astern broke. The gangplanks were out, and. It being a very hot day, peo nla wppp flocklne n board. There were at least seventy-five persons on the two gangplanks when the hawser Drone, and the bout commenced to drift from the pier. I .veiled, and the crew tneu to force the' passengers off the gang planks, but those iu the rear kept push ing, aud the crew was neipiess. "There was only one lumg iu uu. rang for reversed engines. With the bow line out the reversing of the boat naturally backed her up against the dock and held ber there, but that bow hawser was an old one. and lr it dtokb the hoat would back away and dump every one on the gangplanks into the river. . . ... "To me It seemed like an age, dui u was really not more than a minute un til they had another line out astern and I could stop the engine. That caused several gray hairs. In all my experience I've never uu a serious accident; but, as you see, i have a head full of gray hairs causeu by things that almost happened." New York Sun.
