the matter of profit for the creamery
itself is reduced to just hat point nee
cssary to pay running expenses and de-
terioration. all above that being rep
resented in the price paid the patrons
for butter fat. From 100 pounds of

pounds of butter can be manufactured,
the increase being composed Of water.
salt and casein. This overrun will
more than pay the running expense Of
the creamery and still return to the
farmer a higher price for his butter
fat than he could expect to receive if
he shipped it to one of the concerns
already mentioned.
Why then, it will be asked, is not
the local creamery able to outbid the
Centralizer for the butter fat? The
answer is that under fair, competitive
conditions the cooperative creamery
can do so, but that the Centralizers, by
reason of their larger field Of opera
ton, low express rates, indifference to
quality of cream shipped, better bust
ness organization and greater financial
strength, are enabled to enter the linz
tied local fields of any individual CO.
operative creamery and render its bus
mess Improbable by raising prices un-
til competition ceases as previously
narrated. The farmer short-sightedly
sells where he secures the highest
price, not realizing that he is killing
the goose that lays the golden egg, and
that he will later be made to reimburse
the outside buyer by accepting an al
most unremunerative price for his
product.
The following quotation from the re-
port of the Bureau of Animal Industry
for the year 1907 bears out the truth Of
the statements just made, and shows
that wherever monopoly is established
as little as possible is paid to the pro-
Queer:
'"Reports show that, during the
month Of July, in Kansas and Ncbras-
ka, where a monopoly appeared to be
complete, the farmers received only re
to l9c a pound for butter fat, while in
Northern Iowa. Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Illinois, where cooperative cream

cries predominant, the price ranged
from 25c to &c per pound"
Statistics show that the number OF
creameries in Kansas declined from
1913 in 1900 to 67 in 1905. while,.F in
Minnesota, during the same period,
there was an increase of from $50, Is
905. In the latter state farmers were
clear-visioned enough to perceive
wherein their true interests lay, and
were not beguiled by the treacherous
methods of the Centralizers, who con-
scquently failed to gain a foothold.
So far as number Of creameries and
condition of the young industry are
concerned, North Dakota is. now il
about the same place as was Kansas i'll
1900, before the Centralizers got III
their deadly work. Montana has ais
ready been captured by the large inter-
ests and an organized attack is now
being made upon the industry in this
state. What are the farmers going TO-
do about it? Are they going to Stay

the future for all time for the sake OF

says can not be maintained? Or will
they rally in their W defense, reject
the insidious advances of scheming

own cooperative organizations, and
insist upon managing their own affairs,
to their own ultimate profit and the
enrichment Of their w neighborllood

The Trademark of the Northern Pacific
Railway, since it's adoption by the com
pany in 1893, has become a very familiar
figure in the Transportation and CONNER
cial world. 1t is unique in its historical
Significance and adaptation as the symbol
Of q transportation company.
The symbol is Chinese in origin and is
known among the Orientals as the Great
Monad. In divergent form it is seen
among the Japanese and Koreans and is
also found among other eastern peoples.
Indeed, the study of the figure as to it's
appropriateness for a trademark for the
Northern Pacific, resulted from seeing it
emblazoned upon the Korean flag at the
ClicagosW Worlds Fair, in 1893.
The original Chinese diagram itself
dates back to the eleventh century, A. D.,
but the ideas or principles which it repre-
SCENTS, Sor is supposed to explain, extend
back to many centuries before the Chris
tian era, being, in fact, more than 5000
years old.
The story Of the Monad in oil its vari-
ations, is most interesting and is told in
detail in q booklet fresh from the press
called "The Story Of the Monad', pub
lished by the Northern Pacific Railway
Company and sent upon request by A. M.
Cleland, General Passenger Agent, Saint
Paul, MINI.
The booklet is illustrated with numer.
GUS interesting cuts showing the Monad
in its several. modified forms that illus
ttrate its various meanings and uses, both
ancient$and modern, for it has its modern
applications as well.
The story illustrates the strange pecu.
liarities, even the vagaries, Of the human
mind as it reveals the divergent uses to
which this symbol has been put. Based
upon the discovery Of a peculiarly formed
cave, Chow. Lien Xxi, q learned Chinaman
Of the 18th Century, used it to illustrate
= system Of philosophy established by
Full Hi 5000 years B. c., and of which
Chow Lien XII was. a devotee.
The two spiral like forms in the center
Of the; Monad and. Trademark are known
as the Yang and Yin and have a sexual
Significance, and this notion is reflected in
every subject referred to in connection
with the symbol. The Monad represents
light and darkness, heat and cold, rest and
motion, mind and matter. One of the
theories tased on this unique symbol re.
senibles The nebular hypothesis. The
figure Ii used to ward off evil, as q good
luck sign III China, andsas such is for sale
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-08-31

In modern times it is a curious fact that
the present manner in which our W base
ball covers are cut was suggested by the
Yang and Yin of the Monad.
Again, in our own land, we find orna.
mental colored figures upon baskets. shell
disks, etc, made by the American Indians,
in various parts OF the country. Whether
these specimens Of Indian art, often more
or less crude, may or may not be merely
initiative, or whether they may, indeed,
have a deep and intrinsic significance to
the Indian, it is a fact of much interest.
This is particularly so if the latter sug-
gestion be true. Among sorle OF the
tribes in the North Coast, the real North
ern Pacific country itself, Monad basketry
is found. In view of the fact that there
is n widely prevalent belief among an
thropologists and ethnologists of the
present day that the origin Of the "In-
dams" is, at least in q degree, Asiatic,
this fact may be a really significant one.
