Cooperation.
Editor Chieftain AS you are any.
ous to have parties correspond with
our valuable paper, and seeing that
ut few respond to your solicitation. I
ave concluded to break the ice by
'riting something for the benefit of
ly fellow men, viz: have a project
view, which If 1t meets the approval
the people would in my opinion be
great advantage to all concerned. 1t
this: Ii 100 citizens of this place
ould form a cooperative society and
It the shares be $50 each, which would
mount to $4,000. Now if the com
any would then select suitable loca-
on for sheep ranch, and invest the
lnds in sheep it would be the means
starting an industry that would pay
Ie shareholders handsomely Cooper
ion has been great success among
10 working class in Europe, partic-
arly in England It was first started
that country in the year 1914. be-
eve, by the Rev. DR.. Holyook. He
Is recently lectured in New York,
oston and other cities on cooperation
is needless for me to enter into all
9 details in this article, with respect
practicability of establishing such
organization.
Very respectfully,
THOMAS HOWE,
