RESULTS FROM COOPERATION
British Government Seems inclined to
Give Encouragement to Move
ment, Says Correspondent.

Il recent letter from our English
correspondent, F. Dewhirst, says that
cooperation amongst farmers is a live
topic for discussion in Britain, says
the Winnipeg Farmers Advocate. The
government, he says, seem strongly
inclined to give substantial encour-
agement to the movement. All over
the country meetings have been held,
ana the substantial benefits to be de-
rived commented upon. R. A. Yer
burgh, head Of the Agricultural Or
ganlzatlon Society, is vigorous cham
plon Of cooperation, and points out
the advantages of cooperative socie-
ties as compared with ordinary linn
tied companies. In cooperative socie-.
ties the shares are allotted to any far
mer who applies, and profits and
bonuses are divided amongst the far
mers who are members. With a linn
tied liability company there is the
strong temptation to declare high divi-
dends. Shares would sell at prem
ium, and the profits would tempt out
s1ders to invest, and thus divert the
benefits from farmers When a CO.
operative society is kept to farmers,
no one else can touch it or use 1t
against the farmer
1t is further pointed out that Mr..
Yerburgh quoted some recent results
Of cooperation. In Wiltshire, the far
ners have built new milk receiving
depot. They have 500 members, a
capital of $4,000, and the turnover
asst year, 100000. During the rush

FARM COOPERATIVE BANKING
More Than $4,000 Organizations in
Gernanyopera Largely on
Debenturs EaSia

Years before we or any country de-
veloped urban combinations, corpora
tons and trusts, Germany, France,
Italy and Denmark had developed ru.
raj cooperative banking, marketing
and purchasing organizations to mar
velous degree and mutual profit. In
Germany alone, for instance, there are
more than $4,000 such organizations.
There are about 10000 Raiffeisen CO
operative banks, and several other sys-
TENS, exclusively OF and for farmers,
doing an annual business In excess of
billion dollars, with 100000 custS-
mers and farm loans of $500,000,000.
They operate largely on a debeuture
basis, the farmers giving their mort
cages to the bank and the bank bor-
rowing at long time and low rates on
the aggregated mortgages, writes B.
F. Harris in the Breeders Gazette.
The interest rates average not over
per cent. and some of their amortiza-
ton plans pay out principal and inter-
est in forty or fifty years on yearly
payments of AZ to 5 per cent.
In this country We hear the protests
of the consumer and Of the farmer
due to the pressure of organized
finance and commerce, which would
be largely reduced If agriculture was
as well organized. Protest against
big business is idle. We can only
regulate and control it. Such control,
with equally effective organization on
the part of farmers, will re-establish
the balance between the various fac
lions and economic factors Of this
country necessary to maintain our
In other words, Europe developed
combinations first in the country for
the general good, while we have first
developed combinations In the city,
not always for the general good. They
have helped themselves by helping
the farmer farm, while we have been
more disposed to farm the farmer and
many Of his city cousins.
The farm Is the best place God ever
planned in which to live broad, free,
helpful, efficient, serviceable and hon
orable human lives.

Bigger Farm Yields.

Last year the United States in eight
months imported breadstuffs valued
at $1o,0o0,Oo0. This compares with
100000 in the same months of 1862.
It would pay for the United States to
take measures to get bigger farm
yields, and get them from farmers to
consumers at less cost.

Judging a Newspaper.

"A newspaper is like a man-be-
cause generally it reflects some man
and it should be judged as a man
should be judged; largely and on the
whole. No man lives a perfect lift :
no editor prints perfect paper. If
an editor is honest, he is bound to
whole. No man lives a perfect life;
IT he doesn't offend someone the edi-
tor is nambypamby and flabby. The
same thing is true of the average
man. A newspaper is bound to
make mistakes;4 in getting news is
must necessarily take heresay. But
if, in the long run and in the main,
week after week and year after year,
a paper stands for decency,. for hon
est thinking and clean living; if it
speaks fair for those who are trying
to do good, and condemns sneaks and
cheats and low persons-that is a
good paper.-"Western Publisher.

SAFE REMEDY ENDS
CATARRH MISER|ES
Gives Instant Relief, Cures and Pre-
vents Catarrh and Cold in
the Head.

The quickest, best and safest way
to cure catarrh or a cold in the head
Is bp using a remedy that will "touch
the spot" and do its work quickly
without leaving any bad effects. Ely's
Cream Balm, which is applied to the
nostrils or rubbed on the throat or
chest gets right at the root of the
trouble and instantly relieves even
the worst case of catarrh or cold. A
few minutes after applied you can
feel a loosening up in the head, the
pain and soreness are gone, the sense
of taste, smell and hearing come
back, and you feel like a different
person.
Ely's Cream Balm cleanses, heals
and strengthens the infiamed men,
branes, takes away that stuffed up
feeling and dull pain in the head, re-
lieyes the throat soreness and stops
the nasty discharge which is the
cause Of the disgusting hawking,
splitting, blowing of the nose, and
foul breath. Hay fever victims who
are made miserable by fits of sneez-
ing, coughing and wheeling get in
stant and permanent relief by the
use of this simple remedy .
/ Don't, suffer another minute. Ely's
Creame Balm will relieve you imme-
diately, and a so cent bottle will
more than likely work a complete
cure. u All druggists sell it.-Adv.

The Street Car Line.

A good many people last night
were inclined to consider the street
car story printed in the Pioneer as
a joke 1t is not joke but a prop
osition backed by both Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, and. Minneapolis capital which
is ready to act as soon as agreeable
traffic arrangements can be made
with the railroads concerned.
The car system as outlined last
night shows a. system which it will
take years to develop; but the start
can be made with the expense only
of one or two gasoline cars and pos
sibly spur from the M. & l. main
line into Nymore. There is capital
ready to finance the proposition but
the entire arrangement hinges on
the attitude of the NJ & l..
Since the action taken by Nymore
last spring in demanding depot
from the railroads, it has been seen
that eventually some. sort. Of a car
line must connect Nymore with Be-
midji; A.paved street lis not enough.
BY building a spur from the M. & l.,
gasoline propelled cars can be run
from the Union depot-a block from
:: the Benidji business section-to the
center of Nym6re:* Outside capital
has seen the worth Of the proposition
and if it goes through the Pioneer
has. been. assured that Bemidji will
not be asked to. take a dollar: of stock.
All that: will ba J; asked is certain
trackage rights when the company
decides to build through the city.
Negotiations with the M. & I. are
at hitch over the percentage which
that company is to receive of. the
earnings Of the street railway COM
pany for the use of the tracks. Once
this is settled on a basis satisfactory
to, the car people, arrangements will
be made whereby line can be oper-
ated at once. The Red Lake line is /
