Are you an active member
The kind that's liked so we'll
Or are you just contented
With the badge on your lapel"
Do you attend the meetings
And mingle with the flock,
Or do you stay away
And criticize and knock?
Say, do you take an active part?
And help the work along,
Or are you satisfied to be
The kind that just belongs?
Do you get out and hustle
And help to crack lick q
Or leave the work to just fewS
And then talk about the clique?
Come on out to the meetings
Help with hand and heart
Don't be "just a member"
But take an active part.
Think it over fellows,
You know right from wrong.
Be an active member
Instead of "just belong"

General Drop In
Livestock Prices
Decline on Cattle Csc to

South st. Paul, Mimi, June 6, 1899
Receipts of fed cattle expanded To-
cally with quality and finish averag-
ing about the highest of the spring
marketing season to date. Demand
failed to show similar improvement
however, the Federal-State Market
News review says, and prices broke
Csc to soc over the tWo-day trading
period, reaching new lows for the
current movement. Heifers and cows
sold weak to Csc lower but bulls held
mostly steady. Vealers lost fully Soc
Stockers were little changed. Medium
and good yearlings and steers turned
at SITS to $500 mainly, with good
mature grain-feds up to $685.. Good
mixed and heifer yearlings brought
1925 to $500, the bulk of butcher
heifers going downward to $500.
Plain and medium cows brought $5.75
to $3.50, good fed cows upward to
$7.25 occasionally. Low cutter and

Good Dakota stock steers earned S825

Hog prices set new lows for the

1884. Barrows and gifts declined 1Oc

Welfare OF Dairying
Is Vital Here!

The sponsorship of Dairy Month
in Minnesota is one of the most vital
undertakings to the welfare of the
state, which could have been insti-
tuted The purpose of the Month
of course, is to stimulate greater in
terest in all dairy products and there
by increase their consumption. To
realize best the Importance of dairy
ing in Minnesota, one must needs
look into facts and figures surround
ing the dairy industry here.
First of all, farmers of the state
have millions of dollars invested in
dairy cows The welfare of those
dairy herds means much to feed
dealers in the state.
The State Department of Agricul-
ture reports that there are $40 cream
cries in Minnesota, of which 629 are
cooperatives, 208 are individually
owned and 33 are centralizing plants.
In addition there are IS cheese fac
tories, 373 ice cream plants and PIT
paSteuriZation plants. Many of the
latter are located in creameries.
1IlSSS pidillS lSpiSSSi
an investment of millions of dollars
and many of them have been built
by the farmers in setting up their CO.
operative institutions. Minnesota last
year produced 276,572, 665 pounds of
butter to increase its lead as the
nations ranking butter production
state With this tremendous output
an increase or decline of only one
cent affects the agricultural buying
power of Minnesota's farmers more
than two and three-quarter million
dollars. Even with the low price
butter has been bringing during the
past two years, one-third of the states
farm income is derived from dairying
Dairying has also been an important
factor in stabilizing farm employ
ment. A report by the United States
Department of Agriculture points to
the average monthly employment
having been most constant in the
western dairy area, which includes
Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Therefore it is seen that for good
cause citizens of the United States
are being urged to increase their con-
sumption of dairy foods through the
National Dairy Month campaign now
in progress. Minnesota, as the ma
TONS leading butter state, will di-
rectly enjoy the results of this drive
if it is successful in reducing present
SURPRISES and increasing prices.
Consequently the consumers should
set a good example by stepping up
their use of dairy products, and stores
of the state by pushing the sale of
dairy products more vigorously. With
widespread cooperation Minnesota can
retain its rank as the leading pro-
Queer, leading consumer and leading
booster.
Let's all get behind the movement
and see if we can't boost the con-
sumption of butter to point where
it is bound to affect the income of
every family in the state of Mime
sofa.

improvement Week
Set For Mail Boxes

j. w. Cole, acting Second Assistant
Postmaster General, has just issued
the following notice to all postmasters:
''Unsightly rural mail boxes detract
from the natural scenic beauty along
highways and are not credit to the
owners of attractive homes served
through the boxes. Rural mail boxes
which are not properly erected or
which are not in good, serviceable
condition retard the delivery of mail
and expose it to damage from the
elements.
at is the desire of the Department
to encourage patrons of the rural de-
livery. service to provide entirely suit
able mail receptacles and to erect
them in such manner that they will
be accessible to the carrier and pre-
sent neat appearance. 1t is espe-
cially desirable that the boxes be
maintained in such condition that they
will properly protect mail placed
therein, that the names of box owners
be inscribed on the side of the boxes
visible to the carrier as he approaches
them, and that the boxes and their
supports be kept painted. Patrons
who have nonapproved boxes of top
opening or other type are not re-
quired to discard them, provided that
they have been in use for several
years and are maintained in good,
Serviceable condition. However, any
boxes which are not of approved type
and are not in such condition that
they will protect mail from damage
by the elements should be replaced
with boxes of approved type.
ITO accomplish these desirable OBJ
jectives the Department has desig-
mated the week beginning September
10, 1889, as Rural Mail Box Improve
ment Week.
''Postmasters are hereby directed
to acquaint the patrons of rural de-
livery service from their offices with
this fact, and to instruct rural mail
carriers to lend full cooperation and
to report to their postmasters the ex-
tent to which patrons endeavored to
meet the wish of the Department that
their mail-box equipment be i'm

ployed are taken care of. Sickness
never bothers him because the sick
are cared for at public expense, and
finally, he is cremated or buried-it
doesn't matter which-at public ex-
pense. So, from the cradle to the
grave, there is nothing to force in
itiative or to require person to make
any effort whatever unless he so
wishes.
That is the trouble with security,
and while old age pensions are some
thing that appeal to us most, would
rather have old people, of which am
one, suffer than to have the race
60 soft.
A magazine of nationwide circula-
ton has called me the ''most reac-
tionary college president in Amer

I think God is reactionary, doing the
things the same as He did 10000
years ago. When He takes a step
forward, He doesn't have to back
track

doesn't do things in the modern way.
If He did, suppose they would have
girl babies born with hair-line eye
brows, purple lips and green finger
nails, and l don't know what color
toe-nails, but they are born the same
as they were 10000 years ago. And
the boy babies, if God had been open
minded, would be born with one
shoulder lower than the other, so they
could more conveniently lean on a
shovel
Nature demands competition, while
civilization is always talking about
cooperation. That is as true of bust
ness men as it is of labor unions If
they are going to make a success,
there must be competition within the
group and cooperation by members
in that group to fight other groups.
Nature believes in progress through
the Individual rather than through
the mob. A mob never accomplished
anything except destruction A joiner
surrenders the last hope of develop
ing the mind, and we only join to-
gether for one purpose-and that is
for protection and defense. Herding
together simply means to get together
to pool weaknesses; strengths are al
ways used for individual effort.

Psychological aspects of security
and other problems were discussed
by DR.. George Barton Cutten, presi-
dent of Colgate University, at gen.
eral luncheon meeting of the United
States Chamber of Commerce. He
took for his SUBJECTS Nature Right?
He said:
Whenever you have had security,
you have always started on the de-

hospital to have her baby born, and
she is taken care of at public ex-
pense; the baby is born at public
expense and kept there two or three
weeks, and he is brought up at public

school, not only is his schooling at
public expense, but food and clothing,
also, if necessary. He never has to

Going Back.

Several thousand German and Ital-
ian soldiers who have fought with
victorious General Francisco Franco
in the Spanish civil war have been
sent back to their home countries
where they were received with great
ovations and where members of the
German and Italian governments took
occasion to say that had it not been
for their troops, there would have
been no Franco victory That is pos
sibly true, but the Earring detail in
these statements is the well-remem-
bered fact that for many months after
the outbreak of the Spanish war the
German and Italian governments in
dignantly protested against the ac-
cusation that they were helping Fran
coat a time when they, with 25
other nations, had signed a non-in-
PREVENTION agreement. Now that the
bloody show is over, Germany and
Italy officially boast that they were
in the Spanish war from the very
beginning!
Next week about 100000 of the one
million men still under arms in Spain
will be sent back to their homes;
these soldiers are all Spaniards, and
now the problem of having them alb
sorbed back into civilian life will
arise.
The rehabilitation of the Franco
army strengthens the belief that no
European war is imminent, for if an
actual threat of serious international
complications existed at this moment,
the Franco soldiers would not now
be returned.
"Thetis" Tragedy.
Less than two weeks after the
American submarine, "Squalus," sank
off the New Hampshire coast, Eng
lands newest and most up-to-date
submarine, ''Thetis," suffered a SIM
liar fate not far from Liverpool. The
boat was on a trial journey and was
making test dives when suddenly
something went wrong, and it failed
to rise to the surface of the water.
Soon rescue work was begun, but only
four men came out alive; ninety-nine
are dead.
Many questions have come up as a
result of this tragedy, and the Brit
ish press and parliament critics are
giving the admiralty a lot of criti-
cisms to answer. Why, it is asked,
did it take fifteen hours for the first
rescue vessels to arrive at the place
where the ''Thetis" went down? Why
could not something definite be done
in view of the fact that the stern
of the boat was protruding above the
water surface for many hours-until
finally submerged by high tide?
Could holes not have been bored
through the steel plates? Why did
not the admiralty have a diving bell
such as the one used in connection
with the Squalls" tragedy-why,
especially, when the American gov
eminent months ago had sent its
drawings and specifications for such
bell to London? Why were there
many more men aboard the "Thetis'
than there was room for?
Many more such critical questions
are being fired at government which,
in this case, seems to be rather de-
fenseless, and in danger of impairing
the prestige of the British navy.
