WARNIXO (From Farm Bureuu News) Ask Fur Itlentlllcatlon Ciml. Act ion has been taken by the executive committee of the U. S. Grain Grow ers, Inc. the grain marketing plan of the Committee of Seventeen which will prevent unauthorized rep resentatives from soliciting member ships and subscriptions to subsidiary corporations of tho new co-operativo company All authorized represent atives of the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc., will have in their possession an identification card with the pnotu graph and signature of the bearer and the signatures of the President and Secretary impressed witli tho of ficial seal of the company so as to cover the corner of the signatures and the photographs. These precautions for the protec tion of the grain farmers are deemed necessary because it is known that large numbers of solicitors and sales men are now out of employment. No small number of these men have al ready acquainted themselves with de tails of- the company's plans and many have requested permission to solicit memberships. Some have traveled long distances to the Chica go offi je to present their case and demonstrate their ability in sales manship. The organization depart ment lu.s adopted a hard and fast rule that no ex-promoters of blue sky stock companies will bo employed by tho U. S. Grain Growers, Inc. The identification card adopted ofr all field men will protect farmers against impostors. If an authorized representative should lose his identification card, tho finder could not substitute his photograph, for tho impression of the seal would be broken. Furthermore, authorized representatives who have lost tliBir identification cards will be required to secure another from the central office before he can continue to work in the field. If grain farmers will tagolnote of this information, there will be no opportunity for imposters to repre sent ;lieiiiHelveH as authorized field men of tho U. S. Grain Growers, Inc. Field men of the company, moreover, will not be irresponsible stock sales men drawing fabulous commissions. Tho expenditures will be closely guarded, for the Executive Commit tee and Board of Directors are them selves farmers and are trying to be scrupulously careful that farmers' money is not wasted. Furthermore, every field man will be bonded. He wa erof the shyster solicitor, Ask for his identification card, U.S. GRAIN GROWERS, INC. (Signed) C. H. Gustafson, Pres. Frank M. Myers, Sec.

The children met at the church lost Monday under the direction of Mrs. Rates and a number of helpers for Children's day practice. The pro gram will be given on June 12th. Wo have had some trouble with the moths and tho lights. Why will moths persist in flying into a light and burning its wings? But they do, and it does not take them long to ruin a gas mantle. The other night we tried to screen them out, but they got inside of the screen anyhow, and ruined another half dozen mantles. Wo are hoping these pests will not continue long with us. The surest thing is some sort of an electric lighting system. Some of the men are anxious to have tho high line brought down to the church corner and tint service put into the church. When the Delco people installed their lights in the church for the Brush Rend graduation wo had a taste of whot such u service would be. The churc h ought to have something of that sort. ' The cr mmencement exercises of the Brushy Bend school last Thurs day night were very pleasant. Mr. Win. P. Warner made the address of the evening. The burden of nis thought was that education had played a great part in the establish ment and maintenance of our coun try, an 1 that it would continuo to have thu influence; that our educa tional system is tho cornerstone of democracy; that education is not for tho individual alone, but it is for the nation at large. Mr. V. C. Beermann presented tho diplomas. He thinks graduation ex ercises are too serious, that there ought to be u strain of happiness in them instead of a sorrowful snirit. The preacher thinks he is right. The future holds hope. Ambition is.: doing its best to get into the tomor row. The past holds labors, mis-' takes and disappointments. In tho school years we have not been pre pared to live in the past, but to go ahead. Life is joyous and especially for the ,oung. So look ahead. When the big circus is beginning the side shows do not do any business. When the big life of real things is just opening before the graduate why weep ever the tilings that are past and outgrown? And just to enliven Mr. Beermann'-s speech the breaking, of the church pew filled with people1 1 was reserved till the right moment and then all seriousness was over. It is a fine innovation that tho Brushy Bend school brought their commencement exercises to the church. Miss Cady, the teacher,, will be missed in the community. She has done well by the school, and is liked by all the patrons. She did her best to urge the class to further schooling, and tried to direct tlrtin to the farm and its work as a busi ness of their lives. I Undsr date of May 12th, Mrs John Tannehill writes to the Sioux City Journal' telling of her need, having been deserted by her husband. Some of her friends thought that some of the Salem people would like to do enmnflitniv fni- lint ntlfl nalfOfl i ll fl f we take up the matter. It would be a lino tning lor us to senu ner u purse of money. She wants to keep lier family together. That is cer tainly commendable. If you wish to help, the pastor will receive what-, ever you wish to give and send it to her. Tho Catechism class started last Tuesday morning with 14 present, 12 boys and 2 girls. Not all of these are old enough to bo confirmed, but nil will got some good from thoir at tendance. C03I3!
