BACK TO NATURE.

Man VIC not turn back 10 nature
and learn Of her! If We permit. she
will lead in HE paths of truth. Men
women and children, individually
and collectively are in need OF
truth. The world needs truth. In
the Springiime when the shortening
rays Of the sun begin to warm the
earth, with spontaneous effort all
nature through invisible laws be-
gins TO cooperate for one grand
purpose.
Let one be sick, nature sets 10
work and forces in line immutable
laws which produce health. From
these simple statements we may
Grafton. Cooperation is the need
of the world to-day. No community
can thrive without cooperation.
To lend hand is TO achieve, to ac-
compliSh. to build, TO compete is
TO dic--to destroy. If We had the
spirit OF cooperation in the mind
Of man to-day we would be achicv-
crS and not given to destruction.
All movements that lead to de-
Struction--that tear down--wOuld
not exist. The endless contention
between capital and labor, between
supply and demand, would cease.
because they would not exist.
Every question that has ever
confronted humanity that has lead
10 destruction and waste could have
been settled or would never have
existed had the spirit of co-opera-
ton prevailed.
Cooperation spells succcss-a
winning card. Wise indeed is the
pcople-the community where the
spirit Of cooperation is contagious
They achicvc-they are SUCCESS.
They arc Gods Noblcmcn.

We shall expect 10 burn midnight
