REAL COOPERATION


ing Tribune of Albert Lea, Minnesota of
March 18th, which shows the cooperative
spirit of the businessmen of that city and
the kind of cooperation that should prevail
among the businessmen throughout the
country.
While there is a good feeling among the
businessmen of Red Lodge it will do no harm
to read this editorial and put the co-operat-
i've spirit into action Success is bound to
come to any town or community wherever
this kind of cooperation exists
The Skinner referred to in this editorial is
a brother of Attorney John G. Skinner of
this city.
why Albert Lea Grows.
There are several reasons why Albert
Lea IS prosperous, growing town. Among
these reasons is one that sticks out over
them all-head and shoulders 1t is the spir-
it of cooperation and friendliness among
the competitive business concerns, which
has become so general during the past few
years.
mo better illustration of this community
spirit was ever shown than that of yesterday
afternoon at the cooperative opening sale
of Skinner, Chamberlain & company's new
store The spirit burst into full bloom dur
IN the hours from four to six oclock, filing
the entire store and spilling itself down the
street and into the homes with the throngs
of visitors as they left the place.
"The Rotary and the Kiwanis clubs and
the business Mems League organization, are
largely responsible for this cenditien now
prevailing III Albert Lea, It's nothing 1hblt
of wonderful! People from Mankato, Wa
SEGA, Austin, Owatonna, Mason City and
other surrounding towns sense the spirit
shortly after they get into town and they
marvel and talk about it.
Where would YOU ever see competitive
firms take more of an interest in putting
across party staged by another firm in the
same town than the local firms did yester-
day? We don't believe such true spirit of CO
operation was ever before displayed ia a
town or city in the Northwest. One Of the
managers of a local store, who was helping
sell goods in one of the upstairs departments
said: when this big store brings people
to Albert Lea it indirectly helps my business
it helps the garage business, the dr. busi-
ness and every other line Of business. When
people come to our city from surreanding
territory the great majority Of them visit an
the stores Thiairnc trao; - 1Rad.

Just the usual Vermont family"
said both the Attorney-General and
Mrs. Sargent-when the quiet and
peacefulness Of their every day home
life in the small town of Ludlow was
suddenly and Unexpectedly interrupted
by the news from Washington that the
President had turned to his home state
for a cabinet choice. Pleased, yes,
both of them--but the honor failed to
excite them, nor did the prospects Of
living in Washington bring any great
thrill. They had been happy always
in Ludlow-to Ludlow they will return
when they have helped a fellow ver-
monter finish the Job of running the
government.
The Sargent Policy
The Attorney-General has many
personal views--ali broad and liberal.
He has ever indulged the greatest
tolerance In matters pertaining to
the personal liberties OF his fellow
men. However. he has always planted
himself firmly on the ground that
laws should be obeyed--however pros
pective they may be-and this, he
says, will continue to be his policy as
Attorney General of the United States.
In his youth, the Attorney-General
was quite an athlete, playing football
and baseball on school and college
teams Now however, his play mo-
ments are spent trying for 'ringers"
with horse-shoes.
The failure of the Senate TO con-
firm the appointment Of Warren Of
Mich, to the post az Attorney General
and the sudden right-about-face Of
the President quickly picking Mr.. Sar-
gent for the post; the quick vote Of
the Senate confirming the choice, and
his sudden calling to Washington,
brought into the life Of the vermontsr
several new experiences with aud
deness that almost startled him.
Meets MAN at Arms"
No sooner had Mr.. Sargent arrived
at the White House, than Col. Star
ling Of the White House Secret Serv-
we force was assigned rs personal
body guard His frst day In Washing
ton he started on a round Of personal
and official cslls---to be accompanied
every where by Col. Starting. 1t war
rather Mark Twain situation, from
the new Attorney-General's point OF
view. He jokingly remarked that in
asmuch as he had been taking care OF
himself all his life, he wondered why
at this late day 1t was necessary to
have "man at arms" ut his heels.
He was glad however to have the
Colonel as guide in his getting about.
About that pie for breakfast, the
Attorney-General says it's always
been done in their family and that it

The Ride Of Caesar Rodney

A century and half ago the State
Of Delaware gave one Of its greatest
patriots to the cause of Amrrican
Freedom. He was Caesar Rodney and
he was among the first Of the dele
gates to the Continental Congress in
Philadelphia in TITS to sign the Decla-
ration Of Independence
& Now the same state is among the
first to signify its intention Of joining
the observance Of the one hundred and
fiftieth anniversary Of the signing in
the Sesquicentennia international Elk
position which opens in Philadelphia
on June /, 1925. The Legislature has
appropriated funds for the erection Of
q building on the Exposition grounds.
Within the building the part the state
has played in the history Of the nation
will be portrayed from Rodney's time
to the present.
The great eighty-mile horseback
ride that Rodney made, In order to be
present at the deliberations Of the
Congress that led to the signing Of the
Declaration, is equal to il not Of great
er historical Importance that the ride
of Paul Revere.
When the deliberations were begun,
the Delaware delegates were split.

Rodney was still miles to the south
The session was begun. and his friend
Mexican, waited outside. An hour
passed. and then another, and finally
Rodney, booted and spurred, tired and
dusty, entered the Congress.
Soon Delaware was called. Mexican
voted AYE" for Independence. Read
another Delaware delegate, voted
may" and then the rider arose;
As / believe the voice Of my consti-
tuents," he said "and OF all fair, SEN
sible and honest men Is in favor Of
Independence, and as my own judg-
ment concurs with them, ] vote for
Independence"
When the news that the Declaration
Of Independence had been adopted
reached Dover. the capital Of Della
ware, on July 8, 1776, the Assembly,
which was in session, arose and gave
three cheers for Independence, and
three cheers for Caesar Rodney. They
then took picture Of King George
from the wall and had 1t burned IN =
huge bonfire.
