COUNTRY CLUBS

Better Living touches the social,
religious and educational sides of life
and consequently revolves largely
around the home, the church and the
school. Probably the first requisite
for the development of a general
system of better living in any section
is better community spirit. This
spirit will be born of Better Business
but should be encouraged and enlarg-
ed through the organization of a rural
social center which may have its
headquarters in a rural community
club house or in the community
school house. Out of this social CEN
ter would grow more culture, broader
political understanding, and com
prehensive plans for rural betterment.
There should be a library, a gym
nasium, hall for dances and a meet
ing place for lodges and women's
clubs. A series of concerts, lectures.
travellogues, and weekly moving pic
lures should be arranged and this
social center would compare favor
ably in its activities with the modern
city club."-George Woodruff.

THE GRAIN EXCHANGES
Not . Secret Society = Membership
Open to all Persons Of integrity
and Financial Stability.

National Crop Improvement Service.J
John G. McHugh, Secretary of the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, is
contributing a series Of articles upon
the functions Of the Grain Exchanges,
especially to papers which have been
advocating the formation of Farmers
Grain Exchanges. He makes it very
clear that the various Grain Elk
changes are not engaged in any man
ner In the grain business, that their
sole purpose Is to operate a market
place In the most efficient manner
and the qualification for admission TO
membership consists merely in q
record Of honest and reasonable fin
ancial stability. He states that
farmers elevator companies can and
do belong to the various Exchanges
and they thereby get all Of the bene-
at which accrues to the entire mem
bership through the daily market In
formation and the bringing OF the
whole market into focus at the same
time and place.
By thus joining the grain Ex-
changes, the farmers elevator COM
panies may have all of the advantages
of the city commission merchants and
may be kept very fully advised re-
garding the market conditions.
A Grain Exchange is merely set
of rules which compel fair dealing
between two Numerically opposed
selfishnesses.
There can be no Grain Exchange
where there are all sellers and no
buyers.
The National Grain Grower publish
ed by the Equity Society of North
Dakota says in this connection:
MANY people are considering this
question without being in possession
of the facts upon which to base cor
rect conclusions. 1t is easy to form
conclusions that are incorrect and
easy to hold fast to those conclusions
even though they are incorrect. 1t |
often is more difficult to be right"
Most of the criticism of the Grain |
Exchanges arises from ignorance of
the subject Copies of the rules Of |
all of the Exchanges may be had upon |
application and students of these /
rules all agree that the grain business
is years in advance of any other |
business in integrity and economic |
efficiency.

MARKETING EGGS

Two communities in Minnesota
have had cooperative egg-marketfng
associations for several years. The
Dassel Farmers Club organized one
in 1910. Since that time it has mar
keted $4,000 dozen eggs in cartons
at a premium of $4,000. This club
also handles live stock, dressed poul-
try, seed grain, seed corn, and other
farm products, and buys machinery,
feed, Irvine, seed and other farm sup
plies. Barnum also has an egg-mar-
keting association. 1t handles moth
ing but strictly fresh eggs and has
built up mammoth business. Bar
mum is looked to as one of the best
