Co-operatives have done much to
help the people of this nation. Wheth-
err they belong and patronize a CO.
operative or not, every citizen has
benefited directly or indirectly be-
cause the cooperative was organized.
Co-operatives have proven to be a
great boon to farmers. Through the
channels of Cooperative marketing
they are in a better position to guard
their economic and financial status.
Through the purchasing co-operat1ves
farmers have been able to secure more
of the necessities of life. Through
their Credit Union they have been pro-
vided with more balanced credit
exchange. Powerful terminal markets,
WHOLESALERS and credit banks have
been built. Successful Cooperative
insurance facilities protect the farm
family and farm buildings. The farm
err need not seek for the solution any
where except in himself.
Though the picture l have painted
in the beginning of this broadcast may
have seemed gloomy it is nevertheless
true, but the entire picture can be
changed by every farmer in this ma
ton. | wish to remind you again
that even if your gross income is
higher this year, due to the world
unrest and war, your problem is not
solved. It will not be solved by any
one of the solutions offered. You
can secure needed help through your
farm organization, because that or
ganization, is what you yourself make
it,
The Farmers Union has been de-
veloped from the hopes, plans and
ideas of the individual farmer. 1t can
not grow unless the farmer can see
that his condition will be remedied if
he becomes a member of this organ
ization. 1t will never be in position
to answer all the needs of the farmer
unless more and more farmers realize
the seriousness of the situation and
are willing to band together for self
protection and support. No where are
farmers more free than in this nation.
They can make the choice. Either
they begin now to organize together
or they will be organized later on
They can be their own doctor, they
can prescribe the correct medicine,
they can administer it and they can
be assured of the cure. 1t is your job.
Write today to your national presi-
dent. James G. Patton, 1441 Welton
ST., Denver, Colorado for further in
formation. He will be happy to help
you with further suggestions.
In closing l wish to state again,
that each one of you, whether you
have a mere economic headache, or
serious economic disease can gain re-
lief from that condition from a few
pertinent acts. First, to receive inn
mediate relief do not fail to write
your congressman asking for the debt
adjustment bill Second, start today
to interest your neighbors in the Farm
ers Union program. The way is open
to all of you. The medicine is here,
health is assured, it is up to you to
effect the cure. Join the Farmers
Union

An Open Letter To
All Pine Farmers:

AS you know, we are now at war,
and there is no question in the minds
of any of us as to whether or not
We should be at war. When you are
attacked, you have to fight! We must
fight, and we must win. That it will
take time and much effort, there can
be no doubt. There already has been
and will be more bloodshed. How
ever, we must remember that the
sooner it is over, the fewer people
will be killed. When there is a dis
agreeable job to be done, the best
way to get it done is to tackle it i'm
mediately.
Let us do that now and not take
year or two years to get organized.
You, as farmers, have been called
upon by the government to produce
more of certain foods, namely, milk,
eggs and pork. At that time we didn't
realize how important that increase
was. Now, there can be no doubt.
Through the efforts of the County
Defense board composed of Case Me
boer, chairman and representative of
the AAA; Mervyn Anderson, secre-
tary and representative of the Farm
Security administration; Howa d
Shaw, manager of the North Pine
REA project; Clair Shuey, representa-
tive of the Production Credit Ad-
ministration, and Max McMillin,
county agent and representative of
the State Extension service, leaders
in all communities have been given
instructions on improved poultry and
dairy practices. These people are
holding community discussion meet
ings to encourage more production.
If you have a chance, attend one of
these meetings and take part in the
discussion.
The machinery repair program and
the scrap iron program are now more
important than ever before. We need
to use our resources to the fullest
extent to defeat the enemy. Go
over your machinery now and get it
in shape for next spring. Sell your
scrap iron to some dealer so it can
be used.
If we all do our part to the fullest
extent of our abilities, keep our heads
and work harder than ever, we will
win this war. The Extension service
stands ready to help you in any way
possible.
Your County Agent,
MAX McMILLIN.

Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

The Pine County Nursing Ad-
visory board met at the schoolhouse
in Hinckley Thursday evening, De-
cember 4, Mrs. H. E. Johnson pre-
siding. The secretary and treasur-
er's report were read and accepted.
The financial problem was discussed.
The county commissioners have spon-
sored the service for 1912 and have
appropriated the sum of $500. This
will assure the service of the $500
that the state and Federal govern
ments give. The annual banquet will
be given in Sandstone January if
proper arrangements can be made

Der report which was listened to with

Schools were inspected this week
in districts No. 7, 103, 1872 and IA by
Miss Laura Nelson, county nurse.
Some definite health problems, such
as poor eyesight, decayed teeth and
skin infections, were found. In some
schools posture is definite health
problem. Children must be well
nourished to have good posture. They
must have proper exercise to de-
velop a strong well-balanced body.
If this is accomplished every move
that is made strengthens the muscles.
Chronic or even temporary fatigue
is associated with poor health and
one should see their doctor. Cloth
ing that is too tight around the waist
or heavy wraps or untitled shoes will
throw one off balance and interfere
with proper posture. 1t is important
to form good health in eating, rest
ing and your posture early in life.

tons, it contained no threat or hint
of war or armed attack.
1t will be recorded that the dis
lance of Hawaii from Japan makes
it obvious that the attack was de-
liberately planned many days or even
weeks ago. During the intervening
time the japanese government has
deliberately sought to deceive the
United States by false statements and
expressions of hope for continued
peace.
The attack yesterday on the Ha-
waiian Islands has caused severe
damage to American naval and mill
tary forces. Very many American
lives have been lost. In addition
American ships have been reported
torpedoed on the high seas between
San Francisco and Honolulu.
Yesterday the Japanese also
launched an attack against Malaga
Last night japanese forces at
tackled Hong Kong.
Last night Japanese forces at
tackled Guam.
Last night Japanese forces at

Last night the japanese attacked
Wake Island.
This morning the Japanese attacked
Midway Island.
Japan has, therefore, undertaken
a I.v,<
throughout the Pacific area. The
facts of yesterday speak for them
selves. The people of the United
States have already formed their
opinions and well understand the i'm
plications to the very life and safety
of our Nation.
AS Commander-in -Chief of the
Army and Navy 1 have directed
that all measures be taken for our
defense.
Always will we remember the
character of the onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take
us to overcome this premeditated in
vasion, the American people in their
righteous might will win through to
absolute victory.
l believe I interpret the will of the
Congress and of the people when I
assert that we will not only defend
ourselves to the uttermost but will
make very certain that this form of
treachery shall never endanger us
again.
Hostilities exist There is no blink
ing at the fact that our people, our
territory and our interests are in
grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces
with the unbounding determination
of our people-we will gain the in
evitable triumph-so help us God.

Yesterday, December Z, lola
date which will live in infamy-
the United States of America was
suddenly and deliberately attacked
by naval and air forces of the EN-
pire Of Japan.
The United States was at peace
with that nation and, at the solicita-
ton of Japan, was still in converse
ton with its government and its
Emperor looking toward the main
tenance of peace in the Pacific. In
deed, one hour after Japanese air
squadrons had commenced bombing
in Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador
to the United States and his colleague
delivered to the Secretary of State
formal reply to a recent Ameri-
can message. While this reply
stated that it seemed useless to con-
tinue the existing diplomatic negotia-
