SUCCESSFUL GATHERING ~ OF M.E. YOUNG PEOPLE

District Convention of Epworth Leagues Marked by Fair Weath­

er and Good Program. The 24th annual convention of Ep^

worth Leagues and Sunday Schools of the Swedish Methodist churches on the Minneapolis District held at the Oak Park church, the 26th and 29th of June, was one of the most successful held within recent years. Fa i r weather, a s trong program and royal entertainment combined to give the fifty or more delegates and visit­ors present a profitable and enjoyable time.

One of the outstanding events of the convention was the address by Dr. A. J. Allen, pastor of the Trinity M. E. church of Minneapolis1, on Thursday evening. The theme of his address "Good News," was based on Proverbs 25:25. In a simple, yet elo­quent way, he pictured the glory of the good news of salvation and of spreading it. After the address sev­en young people dedicated themselves to be guided by the will of God to "Whatever, Wherever, and Whenever He Might Send Them."

The singing of the convention chor­us was a specially pleasing, feature of the entertainment given on Friday evening, which realized the neat sum of_$40.oa for the district cabinet 's ex­penses.

An auto tour was given the delega­tion on Saturday afternoon to the north shores of Green Lake, where the young folks indulged in swim­ming, games, * weiner roast, and an outdoor song service.

A delegation of about sixty-five young people from the Baptist Mission and Methodist churches of Willmar, contributed a strong and essential part to the Gospel Team service held during Sunday afternoon. A crowd­ed house listened with enjoyment to a live program of group songs, testi­monies and gospel messages.

The following pastors visited the convention: Gustav Lindstrom and G. A. Ekstrand of St. Paul ; C. H. Sundstrom and C. G. Lindberg of Min­neapolis; Emil Magnuson of Lind­strom; Swan Magnuson of Clear Lake; Fred Stromberg, Atwater; and Dist. Supt. E. A. Wahlquist.

HEADOFPACKING PLANT SPOKE HERE

Ira B. Chryst President of Largest Co-Operative Enterprise in State

Talks To Farmers.

PubliCjTakeNotice Willmar Stores

Will Close Wednesday Afternoons at 12:30 o'clock

July 9 to September 1 in order that their employees may have a half holiday during the hot weather, to make up for long hours on Saturdays. . *

The Co-Operative Rally a t the Far­mers ' Warehouse last Wednesday was a success. T h e address of I ra B. Chryst president of Farmers ' Termi­nal Packing company, was a plain and elucidating talk on the* benefits of co­operation. The importance to the farmer of having a check upon the finishing of his products until ready for the market was emphasized. In the case of the live stock, ten profits are added from the t ime the cattle are marketed to the t ime the meat reaches the consumer, said the speak­er, and half of these profits will be eliminated in the co-operative plant. This s tatement led to questions being asked and Mr. Chryst traced the course of the beef cattle step by step from the local buyer back to the butcher 's counter, while half-dozen farmers kept count of each transac­tion, as named.

Seats had been arranged thru the center portion of the building and sev­eral hundred farmers and a sprinkling of business men were interested list­eners to the proceedings. John San-din, manager of the local co-operative elevator company, presided.

Mr. Chryst was the first speaker. He devoted some time to proving by statistics how rapidly the wealth of the country was being centralized in­to the hands of a few, a tendency un­less checked which will wreck our nation a s surely as it has wrecked other nations in time past.

True co-operation is the cure for our economic ills, and every honest at tempt in that direction is in the line of progress.

Mr. Chryst spoke of the success of the co-operative creameries and cheese factories, reviewing their growth in Wisconsin, his home state. He asked if there was a co-operative creamery at this point. If not, there ought to be one. for only by finishing their own product before it is placed on the market can the producers get all that is coming to him.

Even at that, the practice of all the creameries marketing their .product twice a month in place of providing cold storage facilities works to the advantage of the packers, manufac­turers of oleomargarine. The Big Packers, said the speaker, are the greatest buyers of creamery butter in the country, and, having the facili­ties for storing same are in position to control the market in favor of their own product on which they make the biggest profits.

The speaker then spoke of t he large co-operative enterprise of which he is the head the Farmers ' Terminal Packing Co., and the plant in which machinery is now being installed. The operation of the plant will begin this fall. The plant and equipment is all paid for and a working capital so far of about $500,000 has been subscrib­ed. It is the intention to increase this amount to about $1,000,000 by stock subscriptions.

Mr. Chryst then spoke about the an­ticipated benefits of this co-operative industry. Ten profits are added to the live stock from the farmer to the consumer. These were enumerated. Five of these profits will be eliminated by co-operation, one of which, the lo­cal buyer, has been eliminated al­ready by the farmers'shipping associa­tions. The commission man will be eliminated at the co-operative yards.

At the close of Mr. Chryst 's address he invited questions, several of which were rn^de and discussed.

The advertisements of the Big Pack­ers claim that they make a profit of less than a dollar on a steer. How can this farmers' plant hope to suc­ceed when the Big Packers with their big organizations can do no better? The Packer 's figures are arrived at» said the speaker, because they over­look the value of the by-products in figuring their profit. Nothing Is wasted in a modern packing plant, and good prices are received for the hide, hoofs and other parts that usu­ally go to waste in local butchering. $17 to $18 a head profit per head would be a close guess, ventured the speaker. At any rate the co-operative plant once in operation will tell the story.

The next speaker called on was Judge T. O. Gilbert, president of the Willmar Commercial Club, who said tha t the people of Willmar city ex­tended their good will to the farmers and their enterprises.

Gov. A. E. Rice was called on and responded with a story. He recalled the days when he helped to break-up the elevator combine that had the exclusive r ight to buy grain on the railroad in the early days.

Swan Anderson the local meat man, was called oh, and announced h i s ap­proval of the co-operative plan. Con­ditions a t the stock yards are be­coming worse, he said, and it is t ime tha t something is done.

Atty. Charles Johnson was called on and made a ringing speech in which he expressed h is gratification at the manner in which thje farmers are doing things for themselves.

A H.. Proctor, of t h e Rock Island Plow works; W. Owens, of the State 's prison machinery plant ; W. E . Bun-ney, Mr. Meyer and Reno Bergquist, all representing firms dealing with the local, farmers ' co-operative eleva­tor, were called on and spoke briefly.

The last speaker was A. O. Nelson, who spoke on behalf of the local com­pany.

A lunch was served to all a t the close of the meeting. Stock in t h e local company to the amount of $8,000 was signed for a t this meeting.
