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.

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."
