AN EGG SHIPPING ASSOCIATION
In the early days of our settle
ment we had difficulty in dispos-
ing of our products such as eggs,
butter and potatoes, except in a
small way in trade for groceries
and the like. 1t became a vital
question to get some ready cash
by which to meet taxes, interest
and conveniences which could not
be bartered for farm products.
Some of the farmers knew how
they managed egg selling In Dem
mark to good advantage. and we
organized an Egg Shipping AS
sociation, pledged ourselves to
deliver all our eggs and guaran-
tee them fresh, pledging d fine
of Soc for each and every inferior
egg found with the shippers
initial or number stamped on.
This, one of the first enterprises
in that line in America was COM
mented upon in the Agricultural
papers and copied in many in
stances, and became one of the
means of the name of Askov be-
coming known extensively over
the state of Minnesota and in
other states. What is the reason
we have not kept that movement
alive? | will mention a few;
First: Lack of sufficient capi-
tai to handle the business on a
satisfactory cash basis.
Second: Lack of system In
keeping track of the business
which made it difficult to render
an account that could easily be
understood by the majority of
the members. The system used
incurred q lot of labor and worry
on each and all of the members
who faithfully tried to make the
undertaking a success.
Third: The work was not paid
for sufficiently to make it pleasant
for anyone 70 stick to it long
enough to learn exactly how to
do it to- best advantage and to
work out system in account
ing and handling satisfactory to
all concerned.

A Review of our Cooperative Under
takings in Askov, From 1906 to 1915
BY Ludwig Mosbak

With the annual meetings of all
the associations past it might be
of mutual benefit to the commun-
ity and each individual to look
back and take notice where we
have done we'll and then follow
up the advantage gained with
all the energy and strength there
is in us; and where we have not
done so well or utterly failed we
must try to amend ways and
means to make it a success, and
/ heartily invite corrections and
criticism to my statements where
they might appear to be incorrect
or misleading. 1t is hoped that
it viii lead to strengthen the CO.
operative spirit to mutual benefit,
especially for this community to
which mutual welfare we owe
our best thoughts and work in
spite of personal sentiments
likes and dislikes.

A FARMERS CLUB
(LANDBoFoRENINGEN)

Was organized in 1907. Its
main object at the beginning was,
in large degree, educational and
social, and from its meetings and
discussions sprouted a number of
cooperative projects such as Egg
Shipping Association, Live Stock
Breeders Association, The Pine
County Mutual Fire Insurance
Co, The Askov Creamery Asso-
citation, an annual harvest fair
and numerous meetings and
Farmers Institutes were held in
the happy early days. At one of
these meetings it was decided by
a majority vote TO name this
town, postoffice and railway sta
ton Askov. Another meeting
sent delegation with a protest
to St. Paul to call upon the Rail-
way and Warehouse Commission
ers to have the station reopened,
which the Great Northern Ry.
Co. had seen fit to close. The
decision handed down called for
the opening of the depot in 30
days. and it was opened too, then
and there. All these things did
help a great deal to make it

CHARACTER

Many people believe that wealth is largely the basis
of credit No mistake could be greater The dollar is
only slightly less the basis of credit than it is the basis
of character.
The fact is that character is the basis of credit the
dollar absolutely secondary.
We have known welto-do men to whom we
wouldn't loan and know many people with very
little property but with lot of character in
dustrious, of good Judgment determined-who win
make good in their promise and their business of what
ever kind.
Never forget that character counts and that put
character first
