COOPERATION.
DIR. Blanton, from the committed
on this subject, made report. The
committee state that this is one of
the most important questions now
affecting the Patrons of the country.
In order to succeed it requires the
aid of all. This is so in any propO-
sitiOn we may undertake; but all
must be done in strict accordance
with tine principles of the order.
Cooperation means acting together
We have now reached the point at
which the National Grange can no
longer refuse its protecting and fos-
tering care over the subordinate
Oranges, II must make suggestions
and give Instructions. The princi-
pies cooperation must be well
understood and strictly adhered to.
The best men In the order must be
employed in this enterprise when
ever undertaken, and the cash sys-
TEN rigidly adhered to; and where
properly carried out the stories must
succeed. The report closes with the
following recommendations:
First. That the members Of our or
der organize cooperate associations,
in accordance with the rules and reg
ulations for cooperative stores, as
suggested by the National Grange.
Second. That the establishment of
cooperative Interstate agencies, or
Interstate cooperative associations,
be left to the discretion and good
Judgment of the executive commit
tees of the several States and the CO.
operative associations of the several
States. ..r ....r
Third. That the Executive Com
mittee of the National Grange be in
structed to prepare and send out to
the States circular-letter embracing
the true principles of cooperation
and the rules and regulations recon-
rnended by the National Grange for
the establishment of cooperative
stores, and thus keep this important
and vital matter before the member
