AN IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT.

AN IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT.
If the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
nerce were legitimate organization
pursuing a legitimate end,-if it were
in any sense a necessity to the proper
handling and distribution of the grain
product of the Northwest, instead of
being a purely parasitic growth -
there might be some reason to hope,
after the utter defeat of it's attempt
to use North Dakota court as an in
strument for putting the Equity Co.
operative Exchange out of business,
that it would change it's course to-
ward the Equity and confine it's ener-
gies to the doing of legitimate work.
But unfortunately, it has no such work
to do. Vast and complex as is its Or
ganization, and wide as are it's ramifi-
cations, the whole thing rests on a
purpose Of plumber. And as it is the
business of the Equity to expose that
purpose and to furnish in it's own
transactions an object-lesson illustra-
tive of the true way of marketing
grain in the interest of both producer
and consumer, it is to be expected that
the warfare of the Chamber on the
Farmers organization will gain only
added virulence from the defeat at
Fargo.
TIE fight will therefore go on. The
Equity never had anything to fear, eX-
cept from a pervasion of legal pro-
cesses. The most searching probe,
directed by the keenest minds pur-
chasable by the wealth of the Cham
Der, failed to reveal any flaw either in
it's methods, its bookkeeping or the
conduct of its officers. The splendid
way in which the farmers elevator
companies that have dealt with the
Equity came forward with their tes-
timony in support of it's methods, had
it's effect at Fargo, and the reports
sent home by these good friends have
cleared the atmosphere in a thousand
places of the remaining clouds of
doubt, and prepared the way for an
immense increase in the number Of
the Equitys patrons.
The Equity Cooperative Exchange
can therefore we'll afford the cost to
which it has been put by this remark
able judicial test. The advertising it
has been given by the publication of
the testimony and by Judge Pollock s
decision will not only strengthen it at
home, but will spread it's fair name
abroad to all the grain buyers of the
world. The continued loyalty of its
membership to it's leaders - every
where assailed, but nowhere found
wanting, is now assured. And "By
this sign they conquer"
For the farmers and dealers where
grain still goes to the Chamber Of
Commerce must assuredly awake now,
to the demonstrated fact that not only
can they receive at once as good or
better prices by shipping to the Equity
but in addition, they can share in the
profits which now go to the support,
directly or Indirectly, of an army of
some fifty thousand parasites, in and
revolving around the Chamber. Thous-

TRUE COOPERATION.

What is your idea Of cooperation :?
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 a 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 neigh
bors for the good of the community
and bring prosperity to all?
Too many cooperative societies
are based upon the something for
nothing idea, which demoralizes the
membership in the same manner as

Ward county has taken an impor-
tant step towards supplying the farm
ers with blooded cattle. The board of
county commissioners have just in
vested in herd of registered Short
horn cattle. A little later they will
have registered heifers and sires for
sale to Ward county farmers. They
will not aim to get more than just a
reasonable price, which will be within
reach of the ordinary farmer I'm
looking the country over recently for
a blooded sire, the writer was surprs-
ed at the comparatively few farmers
who have registered cattle. There are
but very few who keep registered
sires. Most any kind of a grade an
imal seems to answer the purpose.
With just little more money invested
in a registered sire, farmer will be
enabled to build up herd in short
time worth several hundred dollars
more. Just think this over. BY all
means, invest 1925 or $3.50 in blood
ed animal.

Thousands of visitors marveled at
the beauty of Minots parks during the
celebration Monday. AS we stood
along the bank of the murmuring
Mouse that afternoon and measured
up the immense crowd enjoying the
festivities at Riverside park, we thot
of the time that our park board was
criticized for spending the tax payers
money for the beautiful property.
Why, the park is worth ten times what
it cost US and Minot could well afford
to refuse such an offer. The members
of the park board who outlined the
plans for this beauty spot, deserve a
vote of thanks from not only every
man, woman and child in Minot, but
those who live in the northwestern
section of the state, who are welcome
to journey to Minot at any time to en-
joy the surroundings with US.

When those New Rockford boosters
went to Bismarck last winter and in
troduced a bill providing for the re-
moval of the state capital to New
Rockford, they were accused by many
of merely trying to bring their city
into the lime light, but it appears that
they we're really in earnest. Since
that bill was lost, New Rockford has
been working quietly and now has a
fund of $4,000 that will be used in
a campaign before the next legislative
assembly. New Rockford will receive
considerable assistance from many
other sections of the state. One claim
made is that that city is the most CEN
trally located town in North Dakota.
A new state capitol building will have
to be built within few years, and if
the capital is to be removed, this
should be done before any money is
expended for this purpose.

That is not cooperation. That is
greed. True cooperation properly al
lows a man to render service himself
rather than to pay somebody for that
service, but when man acts as his
own lawyer, he usually has fool for
a client. This is an age of specialists.
1t is often necessary for neighbors to
get together in sort of vigilance
committee to correct abuses, mercan-
tile or otherwise, but there is no CO.
operation which will reward indiffer-
ent service and bring superior prices
for inferior goods, nor can you help
matters by passing law to do it.
Service is what counts. 1t is what peo-
pie are willing to pay for.

J. P. Morgan was shot twice by
crank, who imagined that by getting
the great financier out of the way, he
could stop the war Morgan will live.
Another crank exploded a bomb in the
reception room of the Senate chamber
to show his displeasure at this coun-
try's furnishing munitions of war to
the countries engaged in the conflict.
Still a third half baked Individual
placed an explosive on Andrew Carne-
gie's porch. This war is giving num-
Der of half-witted individuals in this
country an opportunity to make NUS

American citizen has already grown
weary reading about the senseless con-
fict and is glad to devote his time in
the pursuit Of happiness.

Several dairymen of Ward county
are experiencing abortion among their
herds. This is rather serious disease
to get among ones cattle and the
greatest care should be taken when
cattle are shipped in from other sec
tons, to be sure that none of them
are affected. The disease is contag-
ious and will quite easily spread. Some
farmers who have suffered losses in
their herds from it, have shipped their
cattle and are buying new herds. Vet
rinarians say the disease can be cured,
in fact it has been known to run it.
self out in two or three years, but
this means a considerable loss to the
breeder in the meantime. If you have
abortion in your herd, either see a
good veterinarian at once, or ship
your cattle. From Wisconsin dairy
men we learn that very few herds
have been entirely free from the di-
sease and hundreds of dairymen have
been compelled to fight it strenuously.
