The recognition gained for it by the activities of the asso-| ciation should make every citizen of Bemidji, whether he be a; member of the association or not, proud that’ he belongs to a city where such conditipns are made possxble If he be the best kind| of a citizen, he will join in the good work, co-operate to the! fullest possible extent and make the organization of such; strength that, when beneficial projects are presented or when| opportunities present themselves for community betterment,! nothing will be able to stand in the path to hinder or prevent| bringing about the successful consumation of the project. This cannot possibly be done unless every citizen throw his undivided efforts behind the association. When such a periodical as The Farmer recognizes the| worth of our organization to the extent of making it a strong/ factor in the recommendation of our county bonds to a financial | house and points to it as one of the leading organizations in the‘ Northwest, which is promoting that most essential relatmn—‘ co-operation with the farmers—we may well be incited to great-, er efforts than we have ever in the past made. In the great business of community building there comes to’ the man who pamupates in it a certain source of gratification, | not only for what is accomplished for the community as a whole! but for the individual humanizing influence which comes from! it. It matters not what one’s business or profession may be; if he confines his activities to its channels he is likely to lose.contact! with the world outside of his chosen field. For this reason| there are physncmns and surgeons who can think and talk only in terms of the pill and the scalpel, farmers whose horizons are! bounded by their own acres and lumber men who know little beyond the limits of their own lumber yards. The most civiliz- ing and cultivating influence available to man is contact and; intercourse with his fellows. When a citizen is urged to participate in community wolk| he should not assume either that it is for his selfish profit or as a charitable movement in behalf of some one else. The efforts| he makes and the lessons he learns in the art of working with| his fellow men in pursuit of common benefits will, in themselves, afford greater compensation, though of a different character than would the same efforts made in the pursuit of his own pro- fession. The growth of: the spirit of co-operation seems to be the most striking feature of the time; and though some of the co- operative organizations bear the earmarks of selfishness, most of them, having acquired wisdom by experience, have come to realize that there are many ways of achlevmg desirable pur- poses without the application of coercion. The very best thing that can happen to any community is to have its citizens get the habit of working together in behalf| of civic, moral; educational and social betterment, and it is this experience that has helped so wonderfully in our own (-lty to cement relationships which, years ago, would have been i impos- sible. This kind of co-operation may he brought about in any community by. means of tolerant and mLelhgent leadership, and ' the benefits derived from it are worth all the self-denial neces-| sary t¢ get them. Men will make every sacrifice necessary to achieve personal success and distinétion—the patriot offers’ his life when his country needs it. No such personal sacrifice is asked or needed in behalf of community welfare; but a little | self-abnegation is not too much to risk of any good citizen whuj sincerely wishes well for his community. | Everybody in our community ought to know what our com- munity has and what it lacks that is necessary to the well- | being of all its citizens. When they know this, most respect- | able citizens will give of their time, money and moral support, to secure needed 1mprovements.\ Everybody has, or can be! taught to have, pride in his community, and once he has that| pride it can be utilized to secure his support for community het-w terments. The year 1921 should see in our Association an attitude of‘ willingness on the part of all members to give of their selves and their time in the building up of a still greater Bemidji, and, when the coming twelve months shall have rolled away and we come to the close of the year, may our efforts entitle us once more to a recognition from our co-laborers in other fields who,, w‘atchmg us, may see commendable efforts result in successful consumation.
