Fine COOPERATIVE Spirit.
There is a very fine cooperative
spirit in this community and 1t Is
rapidly turning money toward pock-
cts Of members of club and the asso-
citation. And the profits are not only
to be figured in money. Many Ques-
tionA. of community policy and COM
munity welfare find easy solving
when the members of the cOmmun-
fty have become accustomed to handl-
ing community problems as a unit.
More and more it is being demon
strated that the farmer can take care
OF his own business best and solve
his own community problems easiest
when left alone by political dema-
Rogues who would furnish him with
q "canned solution for the cure of
every i'll of the rural community
Cooperation in small units is the
secret of success in all questions OF
country life.
Ladies Are Organized.
The ladies Of the Wolf Lake coun'
try are not behind-the men for they
have the Bethlehem Ladies' Aid as a
center for their social and mutually
helpful interests. During the war
theytbought w. 8. stamps and did Red
Cross work and at present are assist
ing in the social and religious COM
munity plans. Mrs. Helmer Hanson

Is secretary.
