The farmer is willing to cooperate and so is the business man. Both have been co- operating for the past several years in this locality, but some of them are still look- ing for the' results of this cooperation. As far as results betwen the farmer and merchant is concerned, much advancement has been made. As far as results between the farmer and farmer is concerned, the advancement has been noticeable in many instances, but there is still room for im- provement. As far as cooperation between merchant and merchant is concerned there is still foom for improvement. Bemidji cannot expect to grow at a hop- skip and jump pace unless its merchants pull for each other as well as for them- selves. They have larger competition to combat than that within their gates. The only successful way to ‘combat this com- petition is by fighting it as one body and it may be truthfully said that an earnest effort is being made to do this. The one obstacle that has been called to our attention by many of our own mer- chants is that in many instances one mer- chant “buts” into the other fellow’s line. This naturally creates an undercurrent. A sort of coolness, one toward the other. It can be overcome and will, but it takes time to thresh out these detalls. All can readily see that if each business adds the other fellow’s line, each will become a lit- tle department store all in itself. The specialty merchant is the man who prospers in cities of this size. He is the man who can devote his entire time to the study of his particular line and educate the people to the advantages of trading at his place of business. The prosperity of Bemidji has been the result of its business men pulling together for the bigger things in life. It has been team work and will continue to be team work. You can always depend upon Be- midji to unite, when it comes to a common foe. Many eyes have been opened daily as to the common foe in our business circles. Outside propaganda, that is being scat- tered from door to door must and will be combatted. You can’t stop Bemidji when it comes to going after business. They like competition, in fact they welcome it. The people from miles around have learned, that it pays well, to come to Be- midji to buy the necessaries of life. Some- times they like to be invited for each visit. That invitation can be made through the columns of the newspapers. It should be A to_the editor, fi Dot . “quai " OUR FARMER FRIENDS The big dinner that was served for the farmers last Thursday was well attended in spite of the rough roads throughout the country. More than 300 people were serv- ed_ a.nd good fellowship combined with the spirit of friendly cooperation prevailed. We love our farmer friends, because they are;real folks..You know when he clasps’ y&jr hand and says, “T'am glad to »be here,” that he means every, word of it. ’l‘ha get-together, as have previous din- and social hours, has ‘renewed ac- nces and will bring l:o(:l!.i business man and farmer ‘to the' realization .that . ouf prablems are identical. We have so - " much in‘common, that it is difficult. to driw lines of distinction. fionfidence in_each other makes for a stronger bond of, friendship, but this alone will be beneficial only in a social way. We have real problems to solve. So many have been discussed and a willing- ness on the part of all to cooperate has been repeatedly ev1denced The time for action is at hand. What vexing problem shall be tackled first? We must take them one at a time and the Farm Bureau is adopting this plan in its work with the farmers, according to the timely suggestion of county Agent D. C. Dvoracek, May we suggest. “Co-operative market- ing,” as number 1. The gospel of coopera- tive effort has been preached and pledged A start should be made. It is one answer to economic ills of the farmer as a class and will be a remedy, provided it is based on sound economic principle and honestly and efficiently managed. With it must go production control, so that surplus crops will not pile up and flood the market and thereby sell at a price the buyer is willing to pay. for it. A national conference is to be held at Washington December 14 to 16 at which representatives of all farmers, cooperative marketing organizations will be present. The Farm, Stock and Home points out the great need of doing something worth while at this gathering and com- ments as follows: “Until it is realized that the answer to “the economic ills of the farmer,” is co-- operative marketing, plus controlled pro- duction to the extent of preventing the pil- ing up of unwanted surpluses, farmers are doomed to wander in the wildenress of hard and meager returns. “The conference can do a wonderful work if it can be made to realize the truth of the foregoing and bend its entire thought to the formulation of a plan to meet the situation. Let the movers of this [ conference recall that Mr, Roger Babson in commenting on the Agncultural Con- ference last January, said it was unfortu- nate that no one told the meeting the real trouble with agriculture, which is, there are about ten per cent too many farmers. *This is sxmply saying another way that more food is being produced than can be sold at a profit. Sooner or later the fund- amental trouble with agriculture must be recognized and' steps taken to correct it. Let us hope there will be some one at this conference to tell it what it should have presented a year ago. Farmers must have profits if the rest of the people are to have salaries and wages. Why in the name of common sense doesn’t somebody get busy!” B ] BRlNGS $130 PER ACRE The average value of the ‘more than 190,000 producing farms in Wisconsin is $14,143, The average sike of all the farms is 109 acres. s The average size of all the farms i 10¢ Compare these figures withe ‘'values ex- isting in other states of the Northwest.

DESERTED VILLAGES ARE CONFRONTING THE TURKS (By Edward J. Bing) (United Press Staff Correspondent) Adrianople, Nov. 24—Eastern Thrace resembles an anchanted coun try, whicn by a magic word from a sinister chief of the underworld sud- denly lost its inhabitants while their dwellings were spared to ' serve as such witnesses of a once floume}nng life which is now but & memory of the past. Here and there a burning viliage, flaming like a huge torch, veealls with particular vigor the century old atred ‘and passion which divided the population’ for this unfortunatg country into two hostile camps. The landscape stretching - along both sides of the moving train:is dot- ted with completely deserted villag- es. The Turkish population, natural- ly remains in the country, beflag- ging their homes in the expectancy of the arrival of the Turkish nation- alist gendarmerie. As for the Greek civilians, they carried out an exodus the like of which is rare in World history. The assurances of the Allied and Turkish authorities that the Greek popula- tion may safely stay in tng¢ coun- try, are of no avail. The unfortu- nate refugees remember the system- atic destruction of Western Asia Minor.
