advance about political matters, just
remember that they told you that
state owned utilities would pay off
their cost with the profits earned in
their operation; that old Leaders pub
lished in 1919, asserted that the state
owned Drake mill had earned $50 per
cent profit, and little later the claim
was reduced to SO per cent; the re-
port to the last session of Legislature
showed a loss Of 80 per cent, while a
200 per cent; that the state-built
thing touched by socialist Office
FORE the advent of the state-owned
bank, all interest derived on loaning
township money, school district mon
ey, county and state money, was paid
in full to those political subdivisions,
but AFTER the state-owned bank,
but half Of the interest was paid to
the subdivisions, while the Bank of
North Dakota took the other half and
called it "profits to the bank. Then
Reader, go examine your tax receipts
for the past ten years, and you will
see bigger laugh on government
owned industries"
Most assuredly there are losses in
cooperative undertakings, but those
expecting to "get-rich-quick" as share
holders, are the losers, and when
profits result they are the winners.
While in government (city, state, or
U. S. ownership and operation, all
tax payers are the victims of intin-
Grating mountaineering socialist ex-
periments.

Socialism and Cooperation
EditOr Independent:

Editor independent:
That gentleman who seems honest
ly misled about the meaning of social
ism and cooperation and the distinct
ion between the two, has written an
other article in your paper under
headline, "Co-Operation" which is SO
inconsistent that there is no demand
for a reply except for the fact that
others might be misled by his def
nitions by inuendo.
A few of his expressions are quoted
as follows:
l. Almost invariably they (mean-
ing cooperation) are failure"
2. "The failure of the Cooper
alive Consumers store is we'll adver-
tised"
3. "far more lost through # de-
probation Of companies called CO.
operation"
4. eff such promoters (selling CO.
opera tive shares) come along get
your certificates (of cooperative
shares) and ask him what he will give
you for it, If he offers less than par
give him the laugh"
After such ridiculng of cooper
alive efforts then he defines CO.
operation as the union of township and
city to build municipality owned
ware house as cooperation, and COM
mends such because it is to be city
owned and operated.
AS to the second quotation, the Con-
sumers stores being cooperative, here
is what the Courier-News of Jan. 49,,
1922, after enumerating, reciting, and
confessing to many crooked deals by
leaders of the N. P. l.. about Con-
sumers stores, said: " Il q if the COM
pany had turned over to the farmers,
along cooperative lines it (mean-
ing the stores) would likely have re-
suited benefcially to the farmers"
The Consumers stores was but an
excuse to commercialize prejudices
for political propaganda.
AS to the fourth quotation, it would
be the part of honesty to add to the
above expression the following ad-
vice, viz: "Mr. Reader, in order to
understand what socialists know in

mostly lies outside the home, has been simplified

attachments for every sort of
cleaning. the automatic d;ahwash-
er and dr;er, electric and hreless
cookers, and many other devices
of the precise type which in gen
eral industry and transportation
make work easier and less expen-

These things pay their way rap
idly in time and ease But more
particularly, they pay in money.
What we all insist on is the need
of thrift in this country. But what
is thrift? Not economy alone.
Thrift is economy with foresight.
After the initial cost of the devices

work of an ordinary household
the interest on that cost will hard

How many women still wash with
a tub and wringer, iron bending
over flat board, ruin their hands
in greasy dishwater, scrub floors
on their knees, and chase dirt
with the clumsy, ineffective
broom?
OF course they hate it. OF course
they complain about it. They feel
a loss of self-respect in doing it,
and whenever possible they get
some other woman to do it for
them. at high cost, thrusting away
their responsibilities and denying
themselves the opportunity of
thrift. And if there was no way
of changing the character of this
work, who could blame them2
The times are civilized, but they
see that homework as it is too
frequently done, is primitive.

Some Showers Never Reach Earth.

| 1t may seem singular. but ii is true
that showers of rain occur without q
single drop reaching the earth. This
| happens when the rain falls from d
high cloud and meets on its downward
journey layer Of very warm air
This warm air causes the rain to
evaporate long before it has a chance
of getting even into lower level Of
the atmosphere, say, as low down al
10000 feet above the ground.
Sometimes these overhead showers
are distinctly visible from below, as q
sort of dark fringe TO still darker
cloud. Often the. fringe takes twisted
form, as though the cloud were moving
forward and leaving the lower part OF
the shower behind.
In the same way, a snowstorm fire.
quently occurs in the higher regions Of
the atmosphere without a single flake
reaching ground level. The snow has
melted, and the moisture has evapol
rated In mid-air
These overhead snowstorms are not
to be supposed as occurring only in the
winter time, for at very great
height above the earth il is always
winter" Hence. an overhead snow
storm may be seen, even in the height
of summer, taking place five miles. or
even less, above the earth.
The writer. during the winter, has
observed snowstorms raging at only
a few thousand feet up, while merely
a sprinkling of flakes have reached the
ground.--Answers
