Trudy Vas a Heroine

she was lost from sight of those hardy souls who

One of these was her sister, Margaret, who went

history" he said with some We
hemency.
"Our banks are full of money
eager to be safely invested. But
there is no confidence. Every
one is afraid of what the govern
ment may do. E. Our people need
new supplies of everything that's
made. For four or five years we've
all been coaSting along. Why, our
farmers alone need to spend from
five to ten billions to put their
farms and buildings in shape.
Man alive! Once we get going
we could consume all that our
factories working three shifts
could turn out for the next five
years. But right now, with the
government interfering, men with
money and the tools are afraid to
move.
Roosevelt said at the start that
he's acknowledge the failure of
any of his pet schemes if they
didn't pan out. Let him do it now
and let us get back to work and
have real boom days"
THAT'S no old-fashioned, indi-
i vidualistic, ide-bound an
cient talking, but the able and
active head of cooperative Or
ganization that has made history.
He's an interesting type, but the
great coop business that he has
had so much to do with is even
more interesting. Here is farm
owned organization that furnishes
go per cent of the fluid milk used
by the Twin Cities.
1t has $650,000 cash reserves to-
day, and is as sure and solvent as
the Mississippi is wet.
1t is one of three grea coop in
stitutions centering in these re-
markable Twin Cities of the
Northwest. The second is the
vast Land O. Lakes Creameries,
that last year did a total business
of $32,500,O00 and in the fantas-
tic year of 1928 reached a grand
total of almost $50,O00,O00.
1t spreads over parts of Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Nebraska and
South Dakota, and is now going
into Illinois.
1t is owned outright by 485 in
dependent coop creameries and
1874 cheese factories. The true Sc
cret of its phenomenal success lies
in its expert and almost inspired
management, and in the fact that
it has developed a national trade
mark that ranks with another
great Cooperative trade
mark-SunkiSt.
Figures do not thrill me partic-
ularly, but I did get kick out Of
the gross goods that this farmer
owned outfit put out last year: 81
