ance that came up before the meeting
OF the Roundup Commercial Club
at the regular meeting Wednesday
evening was the sewer question, and
tue proposition was quite fully dis
cusscd by those present. Altho it is
generally conceded by citizens of
Roundup that a sewer system is at the
present time Of vital Importance to the
city, some opposition has developed
against the proposition, and unless
something is done to change this feel
ing of antagonism against the present
city administration, which seems to
be the main cause of the opposition,
there is a likelihood that the bond is
sue will be defeated.
DR.. Welsh, the city health officer
was present, and made a talk in which
he emphasized the necessity of sew

to put one in in order to protect the
health Of the residents of the city. He
with cesspools, and that if the sewer
proposition was turned down there
Will lie many more. Last summer at
various times DR. Welsh made anal
ysis Of the water used here, and it was
found that organic matter was present
in alarming quantities, and at that
time he was instructed by the state
health officer to make an investigation
as to the source Of the impurities.
There could be only one source and
that is from the cesspools and priyies
Of the city. The only way to elimi.
nate this source Of pollution is to pro
vide for system of sewers and 10
carry off the sewage and dispose Of
it in a sanitary manner. DR.. Welsh
urged the Commercial Club to actiy=
ity in seeing that the sewer honds
carry, as it would be sorry day for
Roundup he said, if the proposition
was defeated.
DR.. Pigot supplemented DR.. Welsh
talk, saying that Roundup was in
grave danger of having an epidemic
of sickness of some kind sooner or
latter if steps are not taken at once
toward providing the city with a sew
er system.
The Commercial Club decided to call
mass meeting of the citizens to dis
cuss the matter fully in all it's phases.
The meeting will be held Monday
evening, March 4th in Newtons Hal,
and it is hoped that every citizen WHO
has the welfare of Roundup at heart,
will be present.

Aggregate for
Germany -. 1850 23,7OO $4,000
9S cooperative wholesale societies
supply the stores.
Land-mOrtgage banks have increas-
ed slightly in number and vastly in
business.
Why has the numb Of co-opera-
tive banks in Germany increased ten
fold in 20 years, with corresponding
growth in other forms Of co-opera-
ton? Why is their growth greater
from year To year? Because it pays
the farmers and others who thus CO.
operate-pays in saving money and in
making profits, pays by encouraging
thrift, and pays yet more by bringing
the farmers together and holding
them together.
The first lesson from it all, to our
farmers in the United States, is this:
Get together. Get better acquainted
know and understand each other bet
ter, bury suspicious and jealousies,
develop mutual confidence, cultivate
charity of views and unity of action
be willing to trust capable men to
manage your cooperative undertake
ings and Loyalty back them up.
This is the only solid basis upon
which TO build cooperation. 1t is
easier TO form such basis in Ger
many than in America, because over
there the farmers mostly live in
houses huddled into DORIS, or little
villages, and know each other more
intimately than here where each far
mer lives on his own homestead as
lord Of his domain.
His independence of thought and
action, his marked individuality, his
pride and power-are at once the
American farmers strength aud
weakness. These characteristics
have enabled him to subdue the wild
erness and wrest victory from nature
through his own unaided efforts; but
have made it hard for him to cooper
| ate with his neighbors TO do that
| which, in these days of change and
combination, can be done better to-
goth than separately.
| iiu, all is not gold that glittcrs even
| in German cooperation. There have
been some bad failures; not many
but enough To emphasize these old
truths
