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

Tho ladies will meet at the home
of Mr. Hugh Graham on Thursday
afternoon of this week at 2:30, for
their regular monthly meeting. You
arc cordially invited to be there and

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

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.
