that has both an immediate practical

Every effective cooperative center

and what products might be sold for.
In Europe generally the purchasers
of fertilizers. seeds, instruments, were
mulcted around 40 per cent, and be-
sides the thieveries Of adulteration.
LAS in the successful store move
ment, cooperation brings these, prices
at once to, fairly reasonable limits and
often puts out Of business inefficient
retailers who could exist only by these
crude explorations. Again and again
as these prices are dropped TO meet
the invading co-operators, one sees
the tug Of war begin. A Canadian

Co-operators on the Pacific coast

TT is, Of course, one OF the glories
of cooperation that 1t does bring
down the prices and keep them down
a result for which cooperation often
gets scant credit: but when this mar
gin Of unfair prices has been brought
down, the real limits within which CO.
operators have to act is reached, and
they r fairly pitted against op-
ponents ready to try wits and effici-

Of these vigorous individualists. even

in the English store movement, who
do not fear perpetrators in the least.
I'VE do not think of the socialized
~postofflce as a part OF cooperation.
Cooperation will do business with it
as with the state railways, telephones,
and other monopolies which have
nfia1ly passed out OF private hands:
but the rise and extension of the con-
suners' movement is essentially vol
untary; it allows outsideacompetition:
it lays the utmost stress on restricted
and socialized management Jealous OF

CROSS EXAMINATION

| the life subscribers and the reduc-
ton Of the number Of employees.
Several things had been discussed
between MI. More and himself One
was the issuance of an. Afternoon edi-
ton Of the paper in accordance with
DR. Guilds own preference for an aft
ernoon newspaper, a. job printing de-
partment and other features.
The afternoon edition proposition,
he said, he discussed quite fully with
Mr.. Baker, who had told him that it
had already been tried by The Couri-
er-News the year before, though he
stated Mr.. Baker in no way %intinnat-
ed that the venture had proven q
failure.
He said Mr.. Baker said that their
afternoon paper, which was called
The Evening Telegram, was the best
afternoon paper in town." DR.. Guild
one Of the editors Of the plant, who
stated The Telegram had been issued
practically by two men, and from an
editorial standpoint it vas possibly
not a failure.
Considerable time was taken in the
cross-examination pertaining to the
arrangement Of the contract between
Mr. More and DR.. Guild, and getting
the dates of the contract and the x
tension Strengthened out. DR.. Guilds
memory was uncertain as to the accu-
racy Of dates, so he referred counsel
to the different ledgerS and correSpon-
dence files at the office, which MI. Pol
lock requested him to bring to the
courtroom this afternoon on offer OF
the former. g.
The formation of The Courier-Nsws
corporation upon DR.. Guilds arrival in
this city was gone into fully. He stat
cd that his part in that was to be the
preparation of the prospectus, that II.
r. Turner was to attend to the prep
aration Of the articles Of corporation
and Mr.. More was to look somewhat
after the securing of incorporators.
especially those from outside the state.
The plaintiff stated that Mr.. More
did not prevent him from making a
full investigation Of The Courier
News when he was here on his visits.
that he himself had requested not to
be introduced about generally as he
didn't want n word to get back to
his congregation at Toledo that he
was considering any change until aft
err the details were all completed.
He stated that Mr.. Baker and Mr.
More had arranged for the contest to
be put on last fall, though they con-
suited with him about it. The gross
receipts of the contest amounted to
$40, 500.
While DR.. Guild said on Sept. 1. 1913,
he became general manager Of the
uiant, he had insisted N Mr.. Bakers
retention at least for a period of six
weeks until after he himself got &C
lively into the hairless.
He said he insisted on having the
controlling interest in the paper as he
didn't think anybody could get along
with him unless he was boss'. SO he
paid $40, 200, and Mr.. More loaned the
new corporation $4,000 which was add
ed to the mortgage Indebtedness.

The petitions circulated follow:
we, the undersigned citizens and

state Of North Dakota, feeling that
certain criminal charges of bribery

James Mahon, Tracy r. Bangs and

with the facts as brought out at the
preliminary hearing and does not
