TRUE COOPERATION

What is your idea of co oper.
alton? Is it to force someone
who is making an honest living
to fail in business in order that
you and few of your friends
may save few of the dollars
which you have been paying
him for his services? Or is it
to put your shoulder to the
wheel with your neighbors for
the good of the community
and bring prosperity to all.
Too many cooperative socie.
ties are based upon the some,
thing idea, which demoralizes
the membership in the same
manner as did the free passes
on a railroad.
That is not cooperation.
That is greed. True co-opera'
tion properly allows a man to
render a service himself rather
than to pay somebody for that
service. but when man acts
as his own lawyer, he usually
has a food for a client. This is
an age of specialists. 1t is Of

Care of the Teeth.

Without good teeth there cannot be
proper chewing; without proper chew
ing there cannot be proper digestion:
without proper digestion there cannot
be proper nourishment; without proper
nourishment there cannot be good
health. Without health what is life?
Brushing the teeth is not enough for
their good health. Let the mouth be
purified for its rest by rinsing it with a
cleansing mouth bath. else some good
sterilizing agent. such as camphor. hy-
drogen peroxide. the proportion being
a few drops to glassful of warm wa
ter. Then ill the mouth with milk Of

He Didn't Coliude.

An English laborer was being tried
with supposed accomplice for poach-
ing. which he stoutly denied. The
magistrate retorted that the evidence
went to show that at least he was in
collusion with the other person. The
laborer here interrupted and said he
wasn't in Collusion. It was in K

word 'collusion.1 but # did not deter

DRAG THE ROADS.

1t is within the power of the
road drag, the common ordln-
ary IS split log road drag. in
fact, almost any old kind OF a
road drag, to Immediately in
crease very materially the price
of every acre of farm land in
North Dakota. The drag can
put into the pocket of every
North Dakota farmer and land
owner many dollars in a single
season. All that is necessary
to do is to use it on the roads.
Commenting upon road drag
ging. the Minneapolis Journal
said. recently:
The slogan of every town in
the Northw west these days ought
to be, Drag the Roads. No.
thing 80 quickly puts a dirt
road in travelable condition as
the use of the drag after a rain.
And nothing will so quickly
make it way of ruts and
holes and bumps as failure to
use the drag.
The care of the roads we
have is of almost greater i'm
portance than the building Ot
new ones. Scientific roads
maintenance is a lesson that is
learned all too slowly in this
country. Europe learned it
long ago and practices it with
industry and success.
The farmer, whether he
drives a car or a horse. stands
in need of good roads on which
to take his produce to market.
: and however shortsighted he
may be as yet about the expen'
diture of state money on great
paved roads radiating through
the state from the various cen
ters. he recognizes the need Of
having the roads he himself
uses kept in good condition.
The drag is the simplest and
best way to do that.
Live villages and cities find
it pays to keep the to towr
roads dragged, for it brings the
farmers and their business.
If the automobile owners in
each city of the state would gel
together and through a club see
that the roads leading into
their city are we'll maintained
the conversion of good roads
would be rapid and widespread
