ANOTHER CALL

Once more we are called into
the service Of Uncle Sam. This
time to subscribe our allotment
OF War Savings Stamps. Our
quota for Askov is 100000
which should be subscribed dur
ing the week Of June 6 to 13 to
be paid for before January /,
1919.
The Baby Bond" begins to
look big. 1t looks like a mans
job to tackle it; but. it must be
done. and we can do it. if every
one in this community puts his
shoulder to the wheel.
The calls come frequently.
Some of us may begin to have
that tired feeling But let us
remember our boys at the front.
They are giving all their worldly
possessions, even life, If neces-
sary.
They are doing it willingly
with eagerness; so let us not be
tardy in doing our mite. Com
pared to thc great sacrifice of
our boys this is infinite small.
Nc person may hold War Saw
ings Stamps to an amount eX-
ceeaing S1,00000 (maturity
valuel. Different members of
the same family. however, may
each hold ST 10000 in War Saw
ings Stamps.
The government considers
this too valuable security to let
any one individual or corpora
tion have more than $1,000. 90
worth.
If the holder Of War Savings
Certificate finds it necessary to
get his money back before Jan.
!. 1923, 'he may at any time after
Jan. 2, 1918. upon giving 10 days
written notice to any money-or-
der post office. receive for each
stamp affixed to his certificate
the amount paid therefor. plus
one cent for each calendar month
after the month Of purchase of
each stamp.
The holder of a War Savings
Certificate can have it registered
at post office rs soon as pur-
chased. Registration insures the
owner against loss or theft.

control. All stray dogs should
be shot on sight. The Farm Blu
rcau also believes that funds
should be provided for bounties
on wolves large enough to en-
courage their determination by
the hunters.
If the members Of the Farm
Bureau show sufficient interest
1T is possible for all Of the Farm
Bureaus in the northern part Of
Minnesota to cooperate in pre-
sentin9 this matter before the
state legislature in such a way
as to get results. Everyone eff
fected by such measures should
leave their ideas and suggestions

Cooperation.
Cooperative marketing of
farm products has made rapid
progress in recent years. Mime
sofa has done more in this line
than any other state. Most of
the cooperative creameries in
the country are in Minnesota.
There are more livestock ship
ping associations in Minnesota
than all OF the other States put
together. There are more farm
ers elevators and potato ware
houses in Minnesota than any
other state. 1870 of all livestock
marketed in Minnesota is han

used in such a way that many of
us have come to believe that a
cooperative organization offers a
solution for all difficulties we
meet in the marketing of farm
produce. When properly oper-
ated this is true to a large de-
gree, but some emphasis. should
be placed on the fact that COOP
Grafton is not automatic and is
not a remedy for all the ills Of
mankind. When faith in the pos
sibilities is expressed in deeds as
we'll as words we may expect re-
suits.
The writer listened to farm
er's discussion of this subject of
cooperation recently. The fol-
lowing points were brought out
in the discussion and they
seemed important enough to put
down.
First: cooperative handling
Of farm products should be tried
when it is very clear that the
business can be better handled
that way than it is being handled
under existing conditions. Sec
ond: everyone should have faith
in such possibilities and be will
ling to give and take and abide
by the rule of the majority.
Third: everyone should agree to
sell all of his produce thru the
association. and then live up to
the agreement. Otherwise the
organization itself would have no
permanent backing. Beginnings
in cooperative efforts should be
small and grow from the ground
up, as experience increases the
volume of business and the varie-
ty of products they could handle
would increase. And at last but
not least was the fact that the
organization must have and
maintain a very good reputation
for doing business and deliver
ing good quality, properly
graded and always a little bet
ter than represented, QUAINT
ties of good quality and proper
!, graded produce will build up
for a community the desired re-
putation.
The above ideas seem very
sound and are right in line with
our efforts for increased profits
from the potato crop, and it is
pleasing to note as we go about
the county that nearly every
community is interested and do
ing something to standardize
their potatoes and begin to pro-
duce better quality and greater
quantity of the same varity.
We believe that when these COM
munities get one or two steps
further so that they will be mar
keting thru their own associa-
tions larger quantities of well
graded potatoes of one or two
varieties only. they will be real
izing the advantages of this CO.
operative effort.
A meeting at Fritzen school
was held last Saturday night and
a very interesting discussion on
potato Improvement and dairy
feeding problems was entered in
to by all present.
Tuesday evening the same sub
ject was discussed by a group of
men at the Chaffee schoolhouse.
