Commercial Club
ring Address on Community I'm.
prOyement and Team Work

There was a large attendance
at the commercial club banquet
Tuesday evening, the feature of
the evening beng the address Of
Il. .. Cooley, secretary of the
Yellowstone Trail Association
and former secretary of the
Aberdeen commercial club Mr.
Cooley showed the necessity for
community work and stated that
all the towns were pretty much
alike, with the boosters, the
GROWERS and the Indifferent, and
all having both the public spirit
ed and the selfish citizen, and
stated that people should be
made to realize that the individ
ual welfare in the community in
terest is simply the same as a
stockholders interest in a stock
company-part Of the stockhold
ers cannot thrive and part of
them fail to receive any good
from the prosperity of the com
panv-ali must receive some
benefit or all fail to receive any
benefit as the community pros
pers o. fails to prosper. Mr.
Cooley drew picture Of the rise
and fall Of the commercial club
as it usually takes place in small
cities, and the picture was so
true to the experience Of our To-
cal club that many Of our friends
thought the speaker was refer
ring direct to Milbank, but he dis
claimed any knowledge of the
situation here. Mr.. Cooley
pointed out that one of the mis-
takes in the make up Of the com
mercial club was that as a gen.
eral thing it could not do any
thing without first running
around with subscription paper
and making collection, and the
club therefore did not command
the respect of the community
nor even the respect Of its own
membership, ana IN SNORT Time
it was unable to collect even the
dues for it's running expenses.
He said that the budget system,
by which several thousands of
dollars were raised for disposal
during the year under under the
business sense 1T the officers or
authorized committee, was the
successful way of working, and
pointing out the many advanta-
ages which it had over the sub
scription plan. where a seperate
subscription had to be collected
for each public enterprise or
expense that had to be met.
The address was full of good
thought for consideration by our
local club, which at present time
Is in a transition state which it
is hoped will later result in more
effective team work for the com
munity. Mr.. Cooley was tender
ed vote of thanks for his inspir
ing address before the meeting
adjourned.

place to the Evangelical Mutual of
Milbank, which he freely acknow-
lodged was conduted in a most
praiseworthy and economical man

mess year by year, the full pay

is assessed and the comparatively
light expenses for the transaction
of its business have been marked
features in the history f.the COM
pany. and the careful and conscien-
tious management of its affairs by
it's several officers have given the
company record that is unim-

to give fire. lightning and tornado
insurance to its patrons at actual
cost and the most economical man.

It will be six months before the next har-
vest-at least four months before northern
vegetables are in the market-eight months
before the next great crop movement begins.
And all the while food prices keep right on I
going up and up! It is disheartening, truly
And yet, Mrs Housewife, the bread riots IN
New York, the market prices of potatoes and
meats and vegetables and flour, the food fear
that is reflection of the great War-all these
things, Madam, are telling you clearly as
you can be told that great Law is beng
broken.
That law, Mrs Housewife, is NOT man
made. It is Law that cannot be enforced by
the police or by the army It is natural law
the LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND!
But there is way to work in harmony with
that Law. There is solution at hand for YOU
for your family-your neighbors And
only blind custom keeps you from finding that
solution.
Your mother and father before you ate
potatoes demanded them. And they ate the
better cuts of meat--and demanded them.
But today, Madam, steak or chop IS a
Thanksgiving feast, and potato is a treasure!
But-you buy these foods!
And the family next door also buys them
And millions of other families buy them
and all of you complain bitterly about prices!
Don't blame your grocer. He is helpless.
He is NOT putting UP these prices. Don't
blame the farmer. He, too, is helpless. Why,
Madam, 100000 persons who formerly
worked in useful ways, are now unproductive
because they are engaged in one way or
another in the destructive business of war!
When Belgium was starving that was
something very remote. When Poland went
hungry that was like story in book. But
now, AMERICA is GOING HUNGRY and
the gray wolf Of want is bowling at the very
thresholds Of countless AMERICAN homes
and that is very real
And all, Mrs Housewife because you
and the millions of others-do not understand
how to work in harmony with the great I'M
written Law of Supply and Demand!
