Speaking of the~drive, one of the members of the. association who as- sisted in the canvas remarked as follows: . ‘| “The ‘potato selling drive proved «la number .of things among which ay, be mentioned the following points: | - “Potatoes can be sold before the market is fully supplied—by farm- ers.who call on the customers, (we were told that one farm woman who sold 250 bushels in one day two or three weeks ago) ; by other salesmen \ who systematically canvas from house to house . people they> can use. _“The. value of organization and co-operation—The Bemidji. Civic and Comerce association by organizing the roject has. made, directly and in- directly,. immediate sale for nearly a thousand bushels of potatoes that might not otherwise have. been sold later,. while ‘the farmers need until “Potatoes can hardly be sold to in greater quantities than the: money - right now. “The power of the press—The Bemidji newspapers helped greatly in giving the news; of this movement to the ¢ zeng of our community and in inspiring-them to lpyally co-oper- te, by, gving. their orders to_the as- sociation’s solicitors and n. many other caseg direct to the farmers them- selves, . “The éff_om vn;ade by the -associ~ afion and the press steadied the po- tato market and. established a price spil October. and indeed as at a.profitable, point and have’ been worth. while from that. point alone, even if; less potatoes. had been, sold. | _“We have ideals and will respond to idealistic pleas. altogether selfish as is often beleved, sometmes appears. We believe in “live and let live.” We are willing to pay more than the actual market prices for products when the matter is presented in the right light, “This potato sel instance in proof of the fact that humanity is growing broaderminded. We begin to see that individuals can progress only in the progress of ev- erybady: that there is a law of nat- ure behind the statement of “all for one and one for all’’; that, as Roger’ Babson says, “statistics teach that the Golden Rule is practical”; that society is being slowly but surely Christ- ianized . by accepting the central of Christ’s” teachings, which seems to have been SERVICE.” We are not so lling drive is one YEOMEN LODGE PLANNING _ 7 i BIG MEETING THURSDAY souvenirs children, All be The, Yeomen lodge will meet on Thursday evening in the new.
