Co-operation and the League

Believers in farmer cooperation
will do we'll to mark the man who
talks wildly of conflict between CO.
operation and the platform of the
Nonpartisan league, and marking him
closely they will see snake in tile
grass. For it is difficult to overstate
1.-THE advantages cooperation would
have were this program enacted into
law and farmer-labor officers in the
position to administer them.
Let us take one caue-state- owned
terminal elevators. Terrible blow to
cooperation" declares the anti-farm
er agitator. The farmers of the
Northwest, after years Of cooperative
struggle, have one important termin-
al elevator. The expense of financing
terminal elevator is great and the
private elevator interests, with their
banks, set up many obstacles. And If
the farmers were to pay for all the
sacrifice, all the unpaid-for effort
that went into setting up this success
full terminal elevator, they would be
behind for years to come.
On the other hand. suppose the
state had erected this terminal ele.
vator and furnished terminal eleva-
tor service at cost. Cooperative grain
growers would then be able to follow
their grain through to the final sale,
just as they do now, without the great
capital investment. All the capital
that the cooperative farmers would
then need would be capital for their
local elevators and money to finance
their grain movements. l.. oks like a
great enemy OF cooperation, doesn't
lit?
Cooperative grain handling has
had great success in western Canada,
and it is not generally realized that
not only the terminal elevators but
the local elevators of these co-opera-
tors were built with funds advanced
by the state. They were thus able to
start large-scale operations quickly.
State warehouses for potatoes,
poultry, apples and other sommodi-
ties would enable co-opcrators to be-
gin and continue business with only
sufficient capital to finance actual
movement of goods. This would GER
tainly be great blow to colopera-
ton!

New Pastor Installed

On Sunday the 18th of January,
the installation of the Rev. G. S.,
Wang took place at the Goodwill Luz
theran church of Sig5eton and Saron
churches. Rev. Vant vas installed by
President N. Boo of Sioux Falls. The
installation at Sisseton began at
1890 O'Clock a. m. The installation
at Saron began at 3 p. m. At both
places, there were crowds that pack
ed the churches.
The coming of Rev. Wang to serve
the congregations of these churches is
great point of progress in the
church life of the community. Rev.
Wang brings with him an experience
of long faithful service as a minister
of the Gospel. He has been pastor of
the Zion Lutheran Church of Chica-
go for eight years. During that time
he built new church, increased the
congregation and received the high
est praise from the members of his
congregation.
We predict that Rev. vang's efforts
here will be attended. by the same
success as has followed him hereto
fore.

COURTESY

A general order, issued from A. &
F. Headquarters to the army of occu,
| pationgin Germany contained an urg
ent reminder that the American sol
dier was. at all times, to show his
good bringing up by being courteous
even to the natives of the occupied
territory. In some cases 1T was a
difficult order to follows. Many Ger.
mans c:suld not bear the idea of be
i::'ss uHskr- tke authority of bunch OF
uncivili2ed Americans, as they styled
the dou.hboys. But The earnest at
tempt that was made by the Ameri-
can soldiers to treat the civilian
population with fairness and courtesy
soon changed the attitude of these
skeptics and the Americans were
soon known as the peers of the allied
armies to them.
Even the German prisoners were
treated with courtesy, on the whole,
that will commend itself to the bright
pages of our future history. 1t was
evpedient for us, for those very peo-
pie, who had been our antagonists
would work willingly to overthrow
that for which they had been fighting
to maintain.
This method has proved to be the
most acceptable, in all instances
where We are forced to mingle with
the opposition.
The present fight for political
supremacy, is one in which the pro-
cess OF being courteous, should COM
mend itself to all conserved. 1t is not
necessary for either of the many
factions, striving for political victory,
to treat their adversaries with any
less amount of courtesy, than if they
had collaborated on the main issues.
1t will prove detrimental to both
parties, if Lacquer SCOTS and jeers
at dyed in the wool reactionary-
and visa versa.
The best that can be said of such
actions. is that they are superficial
and have no place in the mind of a
thinking man.

early morn. knock at the gates OF
lheaven;I can't believe but that he
would be given a - Good Morning.

A CORRECTION

In last weeks issue of the Standard
quarter page ad by the Twin City
Fur Coat and Robe Co., appeared on
the second page, with the firm name
Stavig Bros, attached as local agents.
Stavig Bros. have inormed us that
there was no authority on the part f
the above named firm to run such an
advertisement, with their name at
tached
The advertisement was misreprc-
sentation and should be discredited.
The fact that Stavig Bros. have
built up alibera patronage and the
fact that their place of business is be-
ing patrondzed to a greater extent as
they continue in business, is = good
proof that they have conducted their
business on a small-profit basis, and
any such attempt to 'injure ). local
store. should be treated with indiff-
erence by the people of the city and
community.
