Farmers are waging a light in the Nebraska legislature to gain an equal footing with the speculator on me grain ana live stock ex changes of the state, one of the measures providing that the ex changes of the state should be held to be public markets and that all who agree to comply with the rules should be entitled to membership.

They I ought to weather the opposition in the markets of the state with the speculator, but the speculator does not want the man who produced and first owned the foodstuffs of the state to have the right to an open market. He will fight to the last ditch to prevent such a law going upon the statute books. There is not a single good reason why the co-operative institutions of the state, should not have access to all of the markets of the state, except the perfectly selfish reason of tin speculator, who plys his trade not alone against the producer. but against the ultimate consumer as well. A law governing this situa tion, and lair in its provisions. S33Z S23LE3 Farmers Please Note m us? msf On Rflogul and Titan Tractors Nearly five thousand of our boys in khaki ami blue are coming, back to work. We shall, of course, make a plate in our organization for every , one of them, but we wish to do it without throw ing out of employment the men who took their places and have worked faithfully for us ever since. This is not gtung to be so easy for us as tor some other?, because the Government desig nated ours as mi essential industry during the war, and we actually increased the efficiency of our organization alter our boys left to join the ranks. We can, however, give steady work both to o'ir present help and to the returning soldiers and sailors. IF VK CAN' UKING AliOl T AN IMME DIATE INCREASE IN TRACTOR PRODFCTION. In order to do this we must move forward to the farm some thousands of tractors that are ordered for delivery at various dates up to May 1st, and we shall also have to ship a large number of trac tors that farmers intended to order later tin's sea son, but could just as well take now. To those farm ers who are so situated as to be able to take ad vantage of it we make the following proposition: all get a cordial greet in; :o: in Germany turn out guarantees :o:- "Anicrica is not merely a polyglot bo'rding house." was one of Colonel Roosevelt's famous epigrams.

W- have scm marriage ceremonies here in America where the bridegroom was so stage fright ened he looked totally deceased, but nothing was said or written about it.

The trouble with Germany seems to be that it has that nursery idea that after a licking it is entitled to a petting. "General" Coxey announced, be tween drinks at a Now York bar the other day, that be would run for President in 1020 a a platform pledging the repeal f the Prohibi tion Amendment.

It develops numer- I ous bad adjustments as it g; along, and those have to be rented ied. At present the whole tendency is toward an increasing snare in the product of industry for the worker. That is the meaning of the high wages and the shorter hours that have come, particularly .during the progress of the war. Hut so far society lias found that it got the best results and the larg- Our Eariy-Deiivery Discount Plan If you will take delivery of a Mogul or Titan tractor now, we will reward your co-operation as follows: To those who will accept de livery of a iMogul or Titan 10-20 on or before March 8th we will give an Early Delivery Discount of 5 per cent from the price of the tractor. (This amounts to $61.25 in the case of the Titan 10-20 and $56.25 on the Mogul 10-20.) After March 8th the following discounts will be given: For delivery during; week of March 10 to March 15, inclusive 4 per cent For delivery during week of March 17 to March 22. inclusive 3 per cent For delivery during week of March 24 to March 29, inclusive 2 per cent For delivery during week of March 31 to April 5, inclusive 1 per cent This discount will go a long ways toward paying the fuel bills of your tractor during this season. P.y taking advantage of this Early-Delivery Discount, you will not only be helping yourself, but will enable us more easily to put back to work our army of returning boys without break ing up our present organization. You will I that you need a few weeks to get acquainted with your new tractor. The man who has his tractor early' can In-come, familiar with it, so that when the first day of good plow ing weather dawns, he will be able to get in the field without a moment's lost time. That in it self is a very good reason fur taking early delivery.
