A Fine Bank Building.

The bank building is repidly nearing
completion aud it is expected that it
will be ready for occupancy in about
ten days. The large plate glasses were
set in last Saturday, by contractor
Joseph Kemp. of L'Anse, the steel
ceiling is on and now being painted and
the only reason for delaying the. balance
of the inside work is the steel siding
which has been shipped some time ago
but which has been lost in transit. The
bank furniture and fixtures are ready
to be shipped and installed as soon as
it is possible to place them.
Mr.. Schwalm has labored under great
difficulties in getting the building in
shape, as various delays in receiving
the material have held the the mechan-
les back. The building, when complete,
will be one of the most substantial ano
beautiful blocks in Baraga, and q
splendid home for the new bank.

The Baraga Creamery Co., of Bara-
ga, Mich, whichcommenced operations
May, 10, Of this year, is meeting with
great success and is now turning out
an average of one hundred pounds Of
butter each day. The success Of this
creamery certainly should interest all
farmers in the dairy business, as it
brings them better price for their
butter than they can get by making It
at home and selling it themselves, not
saying anything of the great saving in
labor connected with the making of
butter that is marketable ut Elgin
Creamery prices. This company ex-
tends an invitation to any and all pros
pective patrons to visit their plant at
any time and be given q thorough ex-
PLANTATION as to prices paid for whole
milk and cream and also price charged
per pound for manufacturing butter.
With this creamery being success,
farming lands in this vicinity cannot
help but become more valuable and.
considering the pc cuniary advantages
that same offers to the farmers, they
(the farmers) certainly should cooper
ate with this company. The more sue
cessful the Creamery Co., is the more
successful the farmer.
In unity is strength. The truth Of
this has been demonstrated repeatedly
from time immemorial, proofs are
abundant everywhere and can be OBJ
served in nature, in walks of life and
in almost every business. In fact il
has become so common that we are
prone to overlook its force until some
great problem arises. Then we become
conscious of it. A great wave Of senti-
ment or enthusiasm develops and unites
US to concerted action for the common
cause, and when this stage is reached
all opposition must yield.
The great commonwealth of the
United States of America is but one
example of the strength and power OF
unity. 1t was cooperation on the part
of each individual state which made
this union possible and cooperation is
the foundation on which it rests today.
From ancient time man has recog.
ni1ed and made use of the power and
force cooperation embodies. Where
man singly has been unable to cope
with great difficulties, cooperation has
been resented and in nearly every
every instance it has accomplished its
object. 1t is of singular interest,
however, to note that until few years
ago cooperation was only enlisted as
the last resort and in time of dire need.
We believe the time has come wher
man should plan ahead Of the need,
and if cooperation has proved of sc
great assistance in the past in solving
great problems why not use it in the
solution of problems which lie before
us today.
Farming and more especially dairyine
lends itself more readily to cooperation
