CO-OPERAT|VES
MAY ORGANIZE
Hinckley Will be Location
of General Meeting
Saturday.
Prominent Figures in Co.
operation Will Talk on
Pertinent Subjects.

An interesting meeting and one
which is calculated to draw large
number of people will be held in
Hinckley Saturday, Dec. II. at 2
O'Clock p. m, when there will be
gathered directors, managers and in
terested members of various cO-Opera-
tive organizations and enterprises in
Pine county. The purpose is to or
ganize them into county group to be
known as the Pine County CO-Opera-
tive Federation.
1t is expected there will be present
representatives from cooperative oil
associations, creameries, livestock
shipping associations, meat rings, mu-
fual insurance societies, food and gen
eral stores, and every kind of cooper
ative. both of producers and cOnsum-
erS.
The meeting is being sponsored by
the Northern States Cooperative
League, an educational federation of
cooperative societies in the north
central states in conjunction with To-
cal organizations, with headquarters
at Minneapolis.
Good Speakers to Appear.
Present at this occasion will be j.
H. Hay, deputy commissioner of the
Department of Agriculture, Dairy and
Food; Frank Yetka, county attorney of
Carlton county; Art c. Rentz, field
Inc; J. B. Vandermyde of Mora; JOS
eph Gilbert, assistant secretary of the
Northern States Cooperative League.
and others who will address the meet
ing.
1t is announced by Mr.. Gilbert that
any director of a cooperative enter
prise in the county may consider him
self automatically a member Of this
county federation and it is hoped by
the sponsors of the meeting that no
one will wait for an invitation to at
tend the meeting other than this gen.
eral One as it is impossible to get
personal invitations to everyone who
may be interested in this live subject
of cooperation.
Many CO.OperativeS.
There are many cooperative Or
ganizatiOns in Pine county besides the
creameries which are perhaps the
best known. Practically every line
of general business is represented
general stores, meat rings, livestock
shipping associations, mutual insur-
ance companies. oil associations, and
others made up of producers and con-
sumers. Many interested in cooper
alton have felt the need of an organi-
zation including all these various Or
ganizatiOns and it is with this in view
that the meeting Saturday is being
arranged. County federations of CO
operatives are projected for numbers
of counties where there is no such
organization at the present time, al
though several are already organized,
among them being Kanabec, Carlton.
and Becker counties. These Organi-
cations discuss problems which are
common to all their members and
unite them all for the promotion and
advancement of their common in
terests.

EMMETT TOPPING, that Dixie

there were an increasing
number Of sprinters who could
run 100 yards under As seconds,
was that they started younger and
were better trained. There are
more schools and more coaches.
A school coach today frequently

Organized sport in the United States
really is not very old. Let us try, for
example, to see what its development
has been In the last century. We
start with the assumption that the
growth of sport is governed by such
matters as competition, equipment, in
vention and transportation. So In
tracing the advance made by sport in
the last 100 years, it is necessary to
consider the general condition of the
United States in 1881.
DESPITE the fact that a couple of
- wars had been fought, this was
uelIIleT very ldISe HOl Olu Nd-
ton. At that time the United States
had neither annexed Texas nor Ore
gon, and California, Nevada, Utah,
Arizona and New Mexico had not
Joined the Union. Remember that st.
Augustine was not founded until 1865,
nor San Gabriel, N. Mex, until 1898;
that Virginia Dare, first child born in
America Of English parents, did not
arrive at Roanoke, Va, until 1887;
that jamestown was not founded until

In 1881 Martin Van Buren was

steam and sail, and the first real
steamboat, the Virginia, had made its
way for over TOO miles up the Missis-

NNE of the simplest methods OF DEM
~ onstrating the growth of sport in
this country in the last century
is to observe the sports which did not
exist 100 years ago. Base ball was in
vented by Gen. Abner Doubleday, at
Cooperstown, N. Y, In 1889. The first
real match game was played on a dia-
mond in 1846. The National League
was founded in 1876. and the American
League in 1900. The first world series
between these two major leagues was
contested in 1908.

gotiations for a commercial treaty
between the United States and
France entered a decisive stage
today, with increasing indication
that some new war debt agree
ment is in the offing.
Premier Edouard Herriot re-
turned to Paris from the Channel
Island of Jersey, where by coin
cidence or design he met Sir Her
bert Samuel, British home sec
rotary.
Herriot's conversations with Sir
Herbert, held in the hotel which
was once the home of Victor
Hugo, afforded an opportunity to
establish fTranco-British under
standings with regard to the
"gentlemen's agreement" reached
at Lausanne.
This meeting, coupled with the
American visit of Montagu Nor
man. governor of the Bank of
England, was interpreted as mean
ing that some new lineup on the
war debt question would develop
shortly.

leadership continued to be 70,
tated from group to group.
Leading issues like U. S. Steel,
American Telephone, General
Electric, American Can, and Al,
lied Chemical were conspicuous
by their sluggishness and inabil-
ity to make any progress on the
upside.
This was offset by special
group movements. The coppers
were outstanding, hitting new
1882 peaks in enormous trading.
Motors were given a whirl with
Chrysler outstanding. Rubber
stocks made a belated recogni-
ton of the rise in crude rubber
prices, Goodyear setting the pace
with a sharp run-up.
When the market showed signs
of firing in the afternoon, buy
ing movement developed in oils.
Railroad shares were taken in

Apparently spending its wrath in

past early today.
Moving in a southeasterly d.

night.
A 60-mile-an-hour wind was re-

reached Homestead. Miami and

The hurricane reached a So
