Another Complaint
Nov. 21, 1928.
Editor The Times, Indianapolis,
Ind.
Dear Sir: Referring to the ar
ticle, Say, Harry in last eve
ning's paper. Mrs. Catterson is
exactly correct. We have had
local letters forty eight hours in
reaching US.
We never receive our mail in
the morning before 1890, and fire.
quently as late as 1890, and no
afternoon delivery.
Travelling men having their
mail addressed in our care, give
us the laugh when they sit around
waiting for delivery.
The last mailbox for depositing
letters is at Raymond Street, on
South Meridian, and from there to
the city limits, a distance of over
eight blocks, there is no mailbox.
We established our business in
1910. and the service then was
so per cent bett%GF than it is now.
Complaints receive courteous
hearings and that is as far as we
can get. We feel, as usual, you
are hitting the nail on the end.
Very truly,

I write of a land where the farmer
is king. In our state department
Denmark is recorded as under the
rulership of Christian Y. This is q
mistake. Christian X is only fig
urehead. The real ruler of Denmark
is the farmer. He owns the country.
He elects the congress. He makes
the laws. The Germans call the
United States "monarchic democ-
racy." This land is farmers democe
racy. We bow down to the labor
union and crawl about on our knees
before the ex-soldier. Denmark does
not bow down to the farmer, for the
farmer is Denmark. His union Is
stronger than any labor organization
of our country or England. He COM

These are the three money crops of
the country and they provide the
main support of the people They

alone last year Denmark received
$4,000, 900 for bacon, S40,000,000 for

These societies have their agencies
and branch houses scattered over
Denmark and their representatives In

this way farmers get the highest
prices for everything, while their
rules require that the products be
standardized and of an even good
ness throughout. There are about
1000 cooperative associations, and of
the 100000 farmers, more than 244,00o
belong to these selling societies.
There are 10 co-operatives devoted
to the purchase of goods, and they
have 10000 members. There are 1,700

Cooperative Wholesale stores
The farmers buy all their goods
through the wholesale associations
and the goods are distributed through
retail cooperative societies in such
a way that the farmers get the profit
made on all their own purchases.
There are about LOO of these retail
cooperative stores with total mem
bership Off 100000 This means that
there is about one store membership
to every two families, or twice as
many as in England. and three times
as many as in Germany, according to
the population. There is one of these
cooperative stores in every village,
and hundreds of them are scattered
throughout the country
The cooperative wholesale society

neighborhood of S25,000,000 worth of
