STAND by THE SHIP

Cooperation Is In the air these

idea of cooperation. To some 1t
means the payment Of small fee for
membership, then demanding that
George" do all the cooperating.
We've all got to do our part In any
cooperating movement. You can help
-our self by standing by any co-opern-
tive movement. Talk II, patronizing it,
and hcI".ng It financially when need
ed.
For the next few years are going to
be trying times for cooperative organ
izations, for they will be called upon
to face conditions that are new and
difficult. Only the faith and loyalty
and hard labor Of their communities
will be able to pull them through.
AS the little snow flake said:

see what big white drift therell be-"

WE WANT A HIGH SCHOOL

With joyful rapture ringing.

And now we're making our wants

For the streets, they are so muddy.

Most of the talk. and rumors. hns
to do with the proposed Union Pacific

This project has the backing of pro-

everybody in Moffat county, also, Rio

Mr. w d Simms of the Simms-Moulton
company. had nm opertunity to talk TO
