through deposits, and by borrowing
from outside sources. Associations
doing business of this sort, however,
are subject to statutory regulations
and it is, of course, important that
these regulations be understood and
observed by the management.
A cooperative credit association
must not be considered as in any way
a substitute for other banking institu-
lions, but rather as an ally of them.
The deposits in such associations are
frequently in such small amounts that
it is unlikely that they would be plac-
ed in a regular bank. On the other
hand the total of these small sums is
frequently considerably and such part
Of it as is not loaned to members Of
the association is usually placed on de.
post in the local banks. In addition
,, to the service which the association
can render to its individual members
both by aiding them to obtain proper
loans and by discouraging them from
making unwise ones, the association
can also be of service to the commun
ity in a number of ways, among which
collective purchasing is perhaps the
most prominent.

Hustling Valley City Firm
Uses Latest Methods of
Business Getting Results
Very Satisfactory.

The Northwest Nursery Co., is hold
ing this week in Valley City school
of craftsmanship, the purpose of this
school being to put their statesmen in
shape to push more effectively the
sale Of their products.
Statesmen are here from Western
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
and Montana. Daily classes are being
held, at which the men receive instruc-
| lions in scientific craftsmanship, in
landscape gardening and in horticul-
ture, the latter subjects being taken up
for the purpose of enabling them to
give expert advice to customers.
The students are very enthusiastic
over the course of instruction they
are receiving and will no doubt 60 out
with new vim that will boost the sales
of the company to an unprecedented
mark.
AS an example of what up-todate
methods will do in modern business, it
may be said that the Northwest Muir
, sery Co. has already received about
double the business of this time last
year, even though this is considered
by many an off year in business. It
is also tribute to the quality of stock
raised by them here at Valley City.
These results, attained in what is
probably the poorest year for business
North Dakota will ever see, are due
to the aggressive methods of E. C.
Hilborn, who is in charge of the selling
end. A couple of months ago the
| Times-Record printed for him 5000
large circulars in two colors, which
were an attractive, comprehensive
presentation of the company's pro-
ducts and the reasons why these pro-
ducts are better adapted to the needs
of northwestern farmers than nursery
stock grown in sections further south.
When you add to advertising like this
the latest methods of handling CORE
spondence and orders, you have CON-
bination that is bound to bring results.
Valley City has reason to be proud
of the Northwest Nursery Co, and the
advertising it is doing for the city and
county. When we get down to bed
rock this means that We have reason
to be proud of E. c.. Hilborn and the
brains he is putting into the business.

ELEVATOR SITE

st. Paul, April S.-St. Paul may do
nate strip of land for site for
grain elevator for Equity Cooperative
exchange. ".51
The council today appointed a COM
mittee consulting of Mayor Powers
Commissioners Goss and Keller and
City Attorney O'Neill to investigate
and report on request of the Equity
Cooperative exchange for strip of
land on the river near Chestnut street
for grain elevator.
S. M. Greeley, representative of the
exchange, appearing before the council
today with the request
II appear in behalf of the farmers
of the Northwest" said Greeley, ito
ask for land owned by the city on the
river near Chestnut street, for an ele-
vator. Upon the failure of the legis-
lature of North Dakota to appropriate
money for an elevator here the farm
ers have decided to go ahead and
build one anyhow.
Il suggest that the city, if it is in
position to consider our proposition,
offer a site with the provision that the
farmers raise sum of money sufl-
cient to guarantee good elevator. :.
"Such an elevator will rebound to
the credit of St. Paul. The name of
st. Paul is on the tongues end of the
farmers of the Northwest more than
any other city. .
This is st. Paul's golden oppor-
tunity. The city is the natural outlet
and gateway for grain market"

that the majority was with Mr.. Lotus.
The Enterprise heartily agreed with
Mr.. Lotus when he avised the farm
ers to patronize their home merchants.
He said that he knew that some pres
ent did not agree with him on this
point. but he was sure that it was to
their interest to patronize the local
dealer in most instances.
The speaker made charges against a
local lumber dealer which he failed to
substantiate, and we think he would
haze left a better impression had he
apologized as openly as he made the
attack
He challenged the local bankers, and
especially one local grain dealer, and
sent emissaries forth to bring him to
the meeting, but without avail. We
presume they took it for granted that
it was Lotus meeting and didn't care
to participate.

ried without opposition, and collec
