Merchants Praised
 For Holiday Spirit
By Al Cramer)

by Al 1Idule
 It is a pleasure to note the spirit our leading merchants have taken to make one of the finest Holiday displays that l have ever seen since I came here in 1920. In fact, it makes one think that he is in one of the large cities in the states.
 Campbell Bros. have an exception ally fine display ana the store IS beautifully decorated all through the interior, as well as out side.
 The City Store also has fine window display, and everyone of the other merchants is taking up the spirit and making a very attractive display It is also to be noticed as l myself have made the rounds of all the stores and sized up the prices see how cheap nearly everything is priced. There are unlimited toys and other things to make selections from. Also hundreds of useful and beautiful articles. So, MT. Shopper, there is DO need for you to take any mail order Bible and send below as you can find all the things right here at home and priced to meet your pocket book.
 There are also an abundance of beautiful things for all the grown ups. So, come up and visit all our merchants; they will cheerfuIy show you everything they have and am sure you can find all the things you need.
 We should show the merchants that they have not used their time in making an attractive Holiday dis play in vain.

 Those who are interested in the fight against tuberculosis will be given an opportunity to enroll with a membership fee of only ten cents per year, this money to be used for incidental expenses.

and least understood of all matters
of great public interest. How often we
hear it said: "It's hopeless to expect
the farmers to get together and work
effectively in any cooperative Of
fort. They just won't stick"
And yet cooperation in agriculture
has been growing steadily and surely
for many years. In all branches of
agriculture today. there are large and
SUGGEST I'll c~o-operatives which pro-
coed with their work IN a business
like basis year after year, bringing
substantial benefits to their members
and serving the public we'll at the
same time.
Cooperation in agriculture is a
business. 1t must function as a well
organized business. 1t offers little
opportunity for uproar, public excite
ment, agitation and oratory. Those
who succeed are doors. not takers.
We hear very little about the sue
cessful co-operatives because the men
who are back of them are usually too
busy to do q lot of talking.
Sometimes c0-operatives do fail.
There are failures in this line of eff
fort just as there are failures in all
ranks of business, but when q COOP
erative does go under a large number
of citizens will point to the case and
say: "See, farm cooperation new
will work:
We could fill the columns of this
paper with accounts of cooperative
success from the fruit growers of the
West to the dairymen Of the East,
from the monster creameries of the
Midwest to the wool. cotton and to-
baeco pools of other sections. But
this evidence is not essential. Those
who are familiar with the c%o-operat-
i've movement acknowledge the fact.
The cooperative movement is now
on the march. 1t is going forward, at
tanning detectives %visualized by lead
ers many years ago. 1t is reducing the
spread between producer and con-
sumner prices. 1t is moving the crop
more effectively from the producer to
the consumer. It is creating new de-
mand for agricultural commodities.
And above all it is giving the farmer
some control over the machinery by
which his product is moved and the
price he receives is established.
We endorse this movement in the
firm belief that it promises a better
future for agriculture and will help
to maintain the nations economic
machinery in better balance.
