congregation, accompanied by
the band.

TALK ON COOPERATION
By Ed. Hodobf.
Able   paper   prepared   for
the Creamery Picnic in Buck-
man last week.
This is the season of the year
when tlie cranery liciic is
rampart in all Co-operativedairy communities. It is one of
the real blessings of co-operation, and creeps in so quietly u-
pon a Cooperative people that
they little realize why it comes
or how. It is a concomitant of
co-operation.
Cooperation does more for a
community than is expressed in
dollars and cents, for no people can work together in harmony for financial grain without
being* abundantly blessed in
divers ways. Co-operation is
of itself a great teacher, help
ing* those who will grasp its
teaching* as well as those who
are indifferent to its methods.
It is a public benefactor and
those who subscribe to its capital for organization receive a-
bundent dividends on stock other than those paid on the percentage basis.
The creamery picnic opens a
way to bring- all the country
people together in a spirit of
perfect friendliness. It is the
occasion of a holiday, and
should be considered as such
The hired man and the girl who
serves in the home should be-
recognized on this day and given full opportunity for enjoyment. Everyone should be invited, whether sharing- stock in
the creamery, delivering* milk
or exercising* that foolish notion of shipping cream to a dis
tant creamery simply because
the returns appear to be better.
Not only invite all, but urge
them to come, let the different
members of the association
divide up the territory, and each
be assigned a few individuals to
be induced to come to the picnic. This may not be pleasant
work, but it will pay. The
man sought may not be won
over at first, but he will be
taught a good lesson, nevertheless, and in the long run good
will come from the effort.
Here is an opportunity for
the farmers who are running
the creamery to perform an act
of kindness and show a spirit
of friendliness to the business
men in the town with whom
they do business, Invite them
also- The businessmen often
contribute liberally to occasions
jn the town for the enjoyment
of the country folks. The creamery car well afford to provide
the picnickers with icecream
and coffee and cream, and ail
the coq yemenee,. necessary to
make the occasion one of real
enjo3*inent-
The picnic part of the
should be considered first
made a cproplatu success.
a good time to let the children
have full sway and to allow mother to rest. Don't let father
be the recipient of all the joys
or embarrassed by a lack of
something to do- Let everybody play but father uutll after
the work is all done, when he
may also play. He should be
the host and seek his enjoyment
by making others happy. Spare
neither pains nor money to
make the creamery picnic an
occasion worthy of the name.
Let us all join hands and have
the best time we ever had.

Liebe Eltern! Gruss aus dem
heiligen Lande. Bin nun bald
fertig* mit meinen Hesuchen hier.
l Morgen geht.s naeh Baalbek und
! Montag nach Beirut, von Beirut
nach Italien. Dana aber werde
ich mieh eilig* nach Deutschland

ganz anders. Die Staedte sind
schlecht, die Strassen noch viel
schlechter. das Wasser unsicher
u. s. w. Die Wege sind be-
sehwerlich. Hier im Orient habe
ich einmal fuer 14 Meilen ein
Kameel geritten und einmal drei
Stunden einen Esel geritten und
zwar bin ich mit dem Esel nach
Jerusalem hinein.
Vorgestern auf dem See Gene-
sareth einen [Sturm mitgemacht.
Der Mastbaum brach, wir blie-
ben aber im Trockenen. Den
Heimweg* machten wir 7aU Fuss;
ein Spaziergang von g*uten drei
Stunden. Wir waren nicht mue-
de, sondern "kaput". Der See
Genesareth ist naemlich der See
auf dem der g*oettliche Heiland
den Sturm stillte. Der See
kommt einem sehr klein vor, ich
moechte sagen fast so klein wie
der Fish Lake daheim. Die Ufer
des See's sieht man von alien
Seiten, aber er ist gross—14
Meilen lang*und 6 Meilen breit—
Das Eigenartige des See's ist,
dass, zu irg*end einer Zeit und im
Nu, sich ein Sturm entwickeln
kann, der nicht mit sich spassen
laesst. Auch etwas Eigenarti-
gfes ist es, dass man sich kollos-
sal vertut in der Abschaetzung*
von Distanzen undEntfernungen.
Was man fuer eine Meile haelt,
ist sicher wenigstens zehn Meilen. Kommt man an einen Hue-
g*el, ja, will man ihn erklettern,
nimmnt's 4 Stunden und bunds-
muede denkt man, wie konntest
du dich so verrecimen.
Nun, liebe Eltern, gleich gibt
es etwas zu essen, d'rum Kurz-
schluss mit dem Briefe.
Herzlichen Gruss an Alle

Often the limit for a rich wife ends
when the man meets a woman that uses Electric Bitters. Her strong nerves
tell in a bright brain and even temper.
Her peach-bloom complexion and ruby

bright eyes from restful sleep; her e-

Transcript—Friends of H ,|.
Schwartz, who is serving a term
in the St. Cloud reformatory,
are making* efforts to secui
pardon for him, and a pel
i.s being circulated in the city today which will be presented to
the board of pardons in July
asking that the man be released.
Schwartz was convicted on
the charge of receiving- money
on deposit after he knew that
the Slate bank of Royalton was
insolvent. The trial began in
Little Falls on Monday.-Ian. 22,
and the taking of testimony finished on January 29. All of
January 30 was taken up with
pleas to the jury and the court's
charge. The case went to the
jury at 7:30 p. m., January 30,
and at nine o'clock the same
evening a verdict of guilty was
returned. Schwartz was brought
up for sentence the next day,
Jan. 81, and given an indeterminate term at the reformatory,
lie has now been in the state institution about five  months.
The board of pardons will
meet on the second Monday in
July and the petition for
Schwartz will be presented at
that time. It is unusual for the
pardon board to grant a pardon
before a prisoner has been confined for a year and the general
impression is that it is a little
early for the movement in
Schwartz' favor.
Little Falls—R. L. Palmer
and R. B. Millard, president
and secretary of the Morrison
County Automobile club, have
undertaken the job of putting:
the Royalton road in shape and
Saturday Mr. Millard had eight
men and four teams at work on
the mud hole half way between
this city and Royalton which
has been bothering the motorists.
ANOTHER VICTORY FOR PIERZ
The game of ball played on
the home ground Sunday between Pierz and Randall was a
rather onesided affair. The
score, which might have been
worse had our boys not been too
charitable the last innings, was
17 to 7.
A brilliant play was made by
Randall when they caught one
of our base runners between
first and second base. Leo
Wermerskirchen, pitcher for
the locals, must have eaten a
teaspoonful of ginger before the
game, for he was about as effective in the ninth as in the first
inning.
BURT IN FOLEY
Mr. Wm. Burt who has been
secured as butter maker for the
Farmers' Cooperative Creamery Association arrived last Friday to aid in the construction
and equipment of the new
creamery and will bring his
family here in about two weeks.
He is an excellent butter maker of long experience and the
association is fortunate in securing his services.—Foley
Tribune.
Mr. Burt worked as helper in
the Pierz Bridgeman Russell
creamery when T. E. Eckstrand
was buttermaker.
