SwedeCo-Op
Leader Tells
of Movement
STEADY EXPANSION OF
CONSUMER GROUPS
DESCRIBED

The cooperative movement in
Sweden was described as a great
society embracing one-third OF
the population and steadily ex-
panding through pooled profits
into new fields of marketing,
manufacturing, wholesaling and
retailing in competition with pri-
vate industry, in a talk given by
Anders Hedberg, Swedish Coop
erative leader, before group OF
co-operators from several adjoin-
ing counties and others at the
Falls theatre Tuesday afternoon.
The meeting was one of several
arranged by the Midland Coop
eratiVe Wholesale.
Swedish co-operatiVes operate
entirely outside the political set
up of the nation and it was Mr..
HerbergS advice that American.
institutions of that nature avoid
political entanglements such as
loans and governmental favors.
He advised also that co-operatives
grow entirely on their own saw
ings, avoiding borrowing entirely.
Asked if the Swedish institu-
tons advertise, he declared ''of
course. We took the slogan of
your American corporations 1t
pays to advertise ard have never
failed to brag about our products
and the prices at which they are
offered"
A moving picture which opened
the meeting took the group into
stores of all kinds, through bak-
cries, mills, factories and other
institutions owned by the coop
erative societies while Mr.. He'd
berg described their growth ard
operation. After the movie, per-
sons in the audience asked many
questions.
He declared the cooperative
movement grew up to discipline
monopolistic enterprises which
had kept prices high. Now, he
said, the co-operatives- are their
stror-g competitors but they still
operate side by side in most in
stances.
Patronage dividends, he said,
accumulate until customers
have shares on which they are
paid five per cent interest. The
money which the shares represec-t
is used to invade new fields. "As
a rule" he said, the aim in open
ing a new enterprise is to break a
monopoly"
To a query on whether every
Swedish farm has electricity, he
replied 90 and added they new
er will have, due to the impractic-
ability of reaching many of them
with lines. Asked where the
policy differs from that of pro
Qaction for use" advocated by
politicians in Minnesota, he said
they are fundamentally the same,
He also stated he has lever heard
of any dishonesty among Swedish
cooperatiVes.
He stressed the Importance OF
educational programs and advised
against co-operatives extending
credit, particularly installmeI-t
buying which ne warned lis very
dangerous" Asked to make sug-
gestions for the development OF
American co-operatives, he re-
minded listeners that he has been
il America but two weeks and
that Sweden is considerably
different country with only one
twentieth as much pOplllatiOn as
America.

there this week while Hutchinson

little trouble with the Indians.
Fairmont has not been a strong
entry in recent years but its re-
cord this year indicates it may be
a factor in deciding the title hold
err.
A concurrence game invol-
wing one league team is of un-
usual interest, that in which Mar
shall entertains the Luverne
team with record of 20 straight
victories. Marshall has demon
strated its power by humbling
New Uim in what was expected
to be a close contest 33 to O a d

tough obstacle.

ingiy one-sided last week, includ-
ing the unexpected dumping OF
the Cardi. ais "a to 0 at Hutchin-
son, the 80 to O defeat handed
Springfield by Glencoe, Marshall's
