is the defense afforded to the consumer
against the fraudulent substitution and sale

hardly pound ever entered poor mans

A DECIDED IMPROVEMENT.

The board Of Education has sue
ceeded in accomplishing what has
long been deemed necessity and
by so doing has saved money for the
present and met future demands.
Ben G. Lords house and lot has been
purchased, subject to ratification,
Iiving much-needed additional
grounds, and building which can
be utilized for some time to come,
in lieu of the one authorized to be
built by the recent school meeti ng
at a cost of $500, and the entire
amount required for lot and building
is about $1200-or $500 less than the
appropriation for the building. The
advantages of this purchase are too
apparent to need explanation. 1t
was felt that the erection of the
proposed building on the west line
of the school-grounds would detract
very materially from the beauty of
the present building, while it would
of necessity increase the fire risk,
and in addition to that it would
have taken ground room from the
lot, which is not large enoughh at
best. Again, this purchase opens
up the grounds to Second-st., which
will add much to their convenience
and attractiveness, besides making
very material enlargement of play
ground for the children.
For long time the board has been
anxious to increase the area of the
school property and has listened to
several pro positions. The one
which found most favor was the
purchase of the Congregational
church property, but as this would
cost more than three times the
price of the Lord property the idea
was dismissed. 1t was felt that it
was too expensive an i'm proveme emit.
1t is now purpesed to hold another
meeting to ratify the purchase
mentioned above in lieu of erectin 2
the purposed new building. and
certainly every taxpayer will be
glad to give assent to the PROPOSE.

There is considerable discussion
just now relative to the pardon of
the Younger brothers. The state
ment is made and evidence is being
brought forward in its support, that
for years at their Missouri home
they were eminently respectable and
law abiding citizens. If we remem-
Der correctly that is not the charge
under which they were arIaigned,
and for which they were incarceerat-
ed. If it were, they certainly should
be pardoned. But the recollection
of a certain cold-blooded murder of a
faithful officer defending his trust
will rise in the minds of the average
Minnesotian when the name of
Younger is mentioned. Did they, or
did they not, commit that crime
while attempting to rob the North.
field bank? That should he tho sole
question upon which their pardon
turns, They said they did in open
court. Let their apologists impeach
them if possible, and then plead for
clemency.

COOPERATION.

The only way to build up "a town
or advance the interests of any
community, is through a system of
hearty cooperation. The farmers
are awakening to this fact, hence the
organized alliance which are spring
ing up in nearly every township.
1t is their purpose to act in unison,
concentrating their power and in
fluence for the common veal, and
let this report not be misunderstood.
Their is no necessity for any hos
tility of one class against another in
this matter of cooperation. The
agricultural class does rot purpose to
wage war upon the mechanic, the
merchant, the banker or the laborer.
Certain grievances exist, and oppres-
sions are practiced in certain
quarters, exercised by concentrated
power, and these can only be effect.
ually meet by concentration. AS
in a battle, a small, compact and
we'll disciplined body of troops can
successfully withstand or attack
much larger number of loosely
punched or struggling soldiers, how.
ever we'll armed. The aggregate
strength may be there, but for lack
of concentration at a given time
upon given object it is ineffective.
The farmers are not awakening to
the fact of oppression-they have
been conscious of that for years, but
they are learning that il is useless
for any number of individuals to
protest without having some organ
lied method of infusing life into
such protest.
In this effort they will have the
hearty sympathy and cooperation of
every business man. Their inter-
ests are identical. Every additional
dollar received or retained by the
farmer is a dollar added to the
wealth of the community, a dollar
put into active circulation through
channels of business.
Business men, too, should co oper-
ate in the building up of the town,
and in this they need the coepera-
ton and sympathy of the farmer.
A village without country trade, or
a country without a market in which
to trade, neutrality-suspicious. enough.
The former would die for lack of
nourishment, the latter would Ian
guish from excessive expenditure
for necessary commodities.
The greater the growth of Sank
Centre the more value to farming
lands and agricultural products,
within the area tributary to it. The
more thlckly settled the country
and the more prosperous the farmer,
the more lively and remunerative
will be all business pursuits in the
village.
The interests are mutual. Let
each class cooperate for itself and
both for all.

The extensive Improvements
being made on the state fair grounds
would indicate that the managers
are of opinion that the entry list
will be far greater than ever before.
The fair is now on sure and solid
foundation, and is entitled to the sup
port of the entire state. Every
farmer in the state should make it a
point to at least visit the fair if pos
sible, and as many as are able should
make some sort of an exhibit. The
fair grounds will be visited by
tens of thousands of non-residents
who may be attracted to a certain
locality by the character of the ex.
hibit from such place. Let western
Stearns be well represented.

A prominent Scandinavian of this

Knute Nelson that is likely to raise
merry war in state politics. The
letter, although private, was shown
to few friends Of the recipient.
One of them informs your CORE

that he cannot conscieHtiously sup
port Mr.. McGill, should he be NOM
mated, on account of the feeling
among the granger element of the
Fifth district because of his views
on insurance matters. Mr.. Nelson
says he will support Mr.. Gilman or

The above dispatch was shown to
Mr.. Gilman who freely declares that
he does not believe MIR. Nelson ever
wrote such letter. He has received
no such assurances.
