Cooperation Will
Bring Prosperity

Practically all of the giant enter
prises that dominate the financial
and industrial world are the results
Of organized co cooperation. OcCaS-
ionallv a towering genius succeeds
i'll building to a great industry
which cXactS rich toll from the
masses but these are the exceptions
which, as the mathcmatiCians say,
only prove the rule.
The great railway systems, the
telephone, the telegraph, the steel
trust, the sugar trust, the harves-
ter trust, the standard oil great in
dustrics world wide i'll their sweep
are all the results of co operative
organization. Men pooled their
. capital and invested it profitably
with the results that we see.
But this is predatory cooperation,
the cooperation of few men to
cater to the necessities Of the masses
and draw from them profit Of
outstanding proportions, in some
cases far greater than the revenueS
of the United States Government.
( There is 4 lesson in these for us Of
Southwest Louisiana. The Pros
rerity Campaign" Of the South
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
is Designed to bring about cooper
alton among all the people Of
Southwest Louisiana not for the
benefit OF 4 few men, but il order
to bring prosperity to every man,
woman aud child in this section.
This week the meetings have been
in Acadia, with one point in St.
Landry. After this comes Jefferson
Davis, and so on until the Gospel
of Cooperation shall have been
preached to all and each has had
all opportunity.
The Bureau is not asking for
cash at these meeting. 1t has cal
culated that a given number of
memberships are necessary to put
the Bureau OH a basis of efficiency
with all expert staff to do the work
so badly needed III this section, and
cooperation is asked conditioned
upon the requisite number being
pledged.
Every man in Southwest Louis
lana ought to be a member of this
organization. Already it las given
a boost to this section Louisiana
- and indeed TO the State, that 10
other influence shall enable it 10 or
game and maintain It's proposed
three divisions of Better Farming
and Marketing, of Drainage Trans
portation and Highways and of
Publicity, immigration and Indus
trial Development, Southwest Lou
isiana will be touched at every an
gle of interest and she will lead the
South in the march towards a bal
anced Development and an agri-
cultural and an industrial pros
perity such as Louisiana has never
before experienced.
The Bureau proposes to antagonize
no interest or organization based |
upon the promotion of the publics
walfare. On the contrary, it pro-
poses to be helpful to each, to coop
crate heartily with every legitimate
industry and interest III this and |
every other section of the South. |
Friends, this is the greatest I'm
dertaking ever mapped out for
Southwest Louisiana. 1t bears not
a single aspect of selfishness. No
man engaged in it is there because
he wants to be where he is;they are
there because they want to help
Southwest Louisiana, and there is
not man of them who would not
gladly step OFT tomorrow if some
one more capable or more efficient /.
should come i'll to take his place.
