MANAGER IS VITAL FACTOR
: coed According to Skill Shown
In Choice of Head.

Seek the cause of the success of a
cooperative effort and you will find
a capable manager. Cooperative en-
terprises succeed or fail according to
the skill they have shown in the
choice of a manager. 1t has been said
that in a successful cooperative COM
pany the members do not cooperate
with one another, but each cooper
ates with the manager In the early
days Of the grange over half of the
grain elevators of Iowa we're owned
and operated by the farmers. At that
time they believed that business abil-
ity was plentiful and they saw no rea-
son why a man should not be willing
to work In town for about double the
rate paid to man In the country.
forgetting that the demands made
upon the man were perhaps more
than double. Hence they hired mex
perienced men for from $50 to $40 a
month to run the elevators and the
stores The common result was fail
ure.
The members of q cooperative en-
terprise are scattered. The manager
is the only point OF contact for the
transaction Of business. The or
ganization cannot rise above the abil-
tiles of its representative. The sue
cessful cooperative companies of to-
day are paying their managers well.
In many cases elevator managers get
from 800 to $i5C month and for
more extended local business the
$4,000 mark is frequently passed.
while national associations pay as
high as $4,000. For these salaries
very capable men are available and
the cooperative companies have as
good agents as have their competi-
tors; in fact, often better Economies
in management must often be prac-
ticed. but the expensive manager who
is worth his cost to the company Is
the greatest of economies. The
scarcity of good managers has been
one of the chief factors in holding
back the organization OF cooperative
enterprises.-Cou Gentleman.

NEW IDEA OF co-oPERATIos
poration Has Done for Business
People Work Together.


CBy W. c. PALMER. Agricultural Editor.
North Dakota Agricultural CollegeJ
Cooperation is the method of mod
ern business organization. BY this
means several people put their money
together so as to gain the advantage
that comes from large amount of
capital. The building. equipment and
running of railroad for instance. re-
quires more money than one man has,
so many people put in their money
in some cases thousands. The build
ing and equipping of factory usu-
ally require more money than the
one starting it possesses. BY others
putting in their money the factory
IL made possible In one sense the
corporation Is a cooperative affair.
1t is many people working together
with their money for the good of each
ether.
The corporation. does not lend it.
self so well to the organization of
farm business, but the underlying prin-
ciple of the corporation. that is. CO.
operation, is admirably adapted to
farm affairs. In this case it will not
be only money that is put into the CO.
operative affair but it will be the pro-
ducing of farm products. marketing
farm products. social life, credit, good
will, education.
In the producing of farm products
there are two ways of cooperating
cooperation in the growing of some
one crop, as potatoes. producing of
the one variety. working towards a
high standard Of quality so as to
make the locality known for that one
particular kind and quality of potato.
In stock raising grow one kind of
stock of high quality so as to make
the locality known for this.
The other way of cooperating in
growing the crop is the cooperative
ownership CT machinery that is ex-
pensive and not much used, as silage
cutters, potato planters and diggers.
traction engines, sires, etc.
Where there is cooperation In pro-
duction 1t will not be difficult to bring
about cooperation in marketing such
products as potatoes and butter, and
in buying such things as machinery.
binder twine and coal.
Cooperation in education is being
worked out through the consolidated
school. This is being further devel
oped through farmers clubs. where
farmers exchange their experiences
and observations. The social life and
religion need to be closely united. The
church should be the leader in the
social life. The denominations should
come together and agree as one
church and make that a strong one
instead of having several weak ones.
Farmers could well cooperate in
the establishing of credit associations
or at least in borrowing money. If
farmers had an organization and this
would stand back OF loans, there Is
no reason why money could not be Sc
cured for lower rate of interest.
Cooperation win do for the farmer
what corporation has. done for busi-
ness. The marvellous development OF
modern industry and business could
never have come except as result
of the corporation, which enabled
people to work together, or, if you
please. to co-operate-likewise a rap
i'd development will come in farming
when proper use is made Of co-opera-
ton. Each one working by himself
will not get far, either in business or
in farming.

A Homs Institution For Home Men.

1t has been said that the neatest
home on Caddo street is the one built
by a share holder in the Peoples
Building and Loan Association, with
money secured from that institution.
Be that as it may, this home is evil
dence of two things, that this associa-
tion is a help to the one who would
help himself and that it only loans
money on the best security.
The lot upon which the house in
question was built was owned in fee
simple by the borrower and the
monthly payments which he is max
ing are rendering the security more
and more gilt edged every day.
For safe investment every day,
one where your money is secured by
steadily advancing real estate values
it would be hard to find a better op-
portunity than is offered by this com
pany.
The president of the association, as
well as the secretary is a man who
is known to every one in Ardmore as
straightforward and an upright bus
mess man. The people of this city
recognized his integrity and ability
as a business man when they elected
lim their mayor, and in the business
world he is recognized as success.
This can also be said of the secre-
tary, ". A. Edwards, who will gladly
give any full information upon the
plans and ideas of the association.
