e Vo ADVERTISEMENTS —:——: ’ MR. LIVESTOCK GROWER! You Are Surely Entitled to the Full Market Value for the Livestock You Raise IF YOU DO NOT GET IT, somebody else gets the bene- fit you should have. The day is passed when business is done on sentiment, and cnly results in dollars and cents count. We want you to compare the results in dollars and cents we get for you with those received elsewhere. A comparison will convince you that “KIRK. SERVICE” gets you the most money for your livestock. J. R. Kirk Commission Co., Inc. South St. Paul, Minn. Authorized Sales Agency of the American Society of Equity WORKERS WANTED FOR THE CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT We have reason to believe that the Government will in a very short time assist in establishing the Rochdale System of Co-operation in the United States. On account of the interest that has already developed and the demand for this system to be put in operation and the lack of knowledge of the essential features that were necessary to make the Rochdale System a success, it became necessary for us to establish a school to teach and train people to do the work. We started school on November 1st and it was a success from the start, FULL BLOODED YANKEES I’'m only two moves from the Emerald bog, there’s flannel on half of my teeth—the blarney still flows on the roof of my tongue, and the buttermilk oozes beneath! e You’'re only one step from the Devonshire Hills, with h's and r’s on a strike; you can’t tell a joke from a funeral knell— . it’s beef-steak and tea that you like! 3 There’s Solomon Rosenberg, vender of shoes, and watches, and jewelry, and clothes; take note of his gestures, the kink in his hair, and the classical hook in his nose! Yon Yonson is present with flax-colored hair and upper lip loaded with snuff; he ‘‘bane shust come over’” but nevertheless, ‘‘he bane like Minneapolis enough’’! I notice DeMores, a lover of wine, adept at the light-footed dance, a ‘‘pea-soup’’ in short, and I venture a guess his mustache was sprouted in France. Don Pedro is here with a fire in his eye, and Chink with no sign of a que; Veronni, you notice, with big Roman nose, and sticks of spagetti to chew! We’re mixed and we’re mottled like boarding house hash, chop suey, or-vegetable stew; yet we’re marching together, and over our heads is the glorious Red, White and Blue! One more genera- tion, and we’ll all look alike—we all- FEEL alike as we are: WE'RE FULL-BLOODED YANKEES, AND HONOR EACH yet we are not getting enough people to take up the work as fast as demands are being made for managers for Co-operative Stores that we are establishing and men to sell stock to establish co-operative institutions. i This School is for the purpose of training people in the true principles of the Rochdale System of Co-operation so that the people that we interest may know and understand that it is a plan of “Each for all and all for 'each.” We want every Red Blooded American that has more interest in the Common Peo- ple than in dollars to come and see us or write us, and we will assure you that if you will take up this . work with the spirit that is necessary in any work to make a success, that the people with whom you meet and interest to take part in the movement will be benefitted and you will receive a compensation equal to or better than you have ever received before. < % - This work is being conducted by the American Rochdale Union, an educa- tional Organization teaching co-operation and establishing Business Institutions on the combined plan of the Rochdale System as being operated in England, < Scotland, Ireland, Denmark and other European Countries, and is to the co- operative institutions of America, what the Co-operative Union Ltd., is to the co-operative enterprises of IEurope. ek Write for further information, or call at the Ninth Floor Pioneer Building, AMERICAN ROCHDALE UNION Educational Organization, The Co-operative Wholesale Society of America, Business Association, St. Paul, Minnesota.

S —— S | HOW TO FIGURE IT “We make only four per cent on money at the present time,” says the average banker, “we pay six per cent’'on time deposits and loan it out at ten per cent.” Lesee, our arithmetic doesn't tally with that. A dollar costs the banker six cents, he charges ten: cents, therefore he makes four cents. Per cent of gain or profit is figured on the cost. Four cents is two-thirds of six cents, THEREFORE, the average banker is making not four per cent, but SIXTY-SIX AND TWO- THIRDS PER CENT ON HIS MONEY INVESTED. You can't get around it. ; * * * PROVERBS Wise is the man who slelex')eth upon the right side, thus making up for be- - ing on the wrong side during his wak- ing hours. Verily, the man who hath not suffi- cient food for his stomach, hath at last, in the situation, plenty of food for thought. Yot el Behold, a day cometh: when the Minnesota politician will reckon with a host, and a host is; indeed. . a great number. The Minnesota press thinketh that . the situation groweth grave; yea, many graves grow in Minnesota, and indeed the situation groweth them, * * * ‘WITH PORK CROWDING TWEN- TY CENTS A POUND IN CHICAGO, ONE CAN HARDLY BLAME THE FELLOW WHO MAKES A PIG OF HIMELF. * * * A mob in action is very much like a barrel—staves around, and held to- gether. with a whoop. * * * “There's one consolaticn in hav- ing a wooden leg,” said Peter Stuyvesant, “while beer may addle the other leg, this one can not he affected!” * * * imade in animal surgery during these recent years!

The inventer of language (who- ever he is) did well when he named the aspirant for public of- fice a “candidate”; for derivation, however, is doubtful; did the word come from the two words “candid hate”, or from “candied date”? Most aspirants are full of both. * * * . “Ig your daughter a finished musi- i cian yet?” asked one man of another.

What a slow world this is to live inl PAGE TWENTY i/ Think of the wonderful advances BEHOLD, THE TIME COMETH! There are turkeys galore in this neck’o’the woods, Who are patting themselves on the backs, And are thanking the Fates that their rubicund hoods Were preserved from the Thanksgiving ax. : They reckon, poor birds, that another full year Of strutting and gobbling is theirs Forgetting that Christmas is coming, I fear, To play havoc with turkish affairs. * * x OUR WEEKLY RECIPE GOOD TEACHER: Into a skullful of common sense pour another skullful of consideration for the other fellow; add a portion of . introspection, but very little retrospection; stir in a nice regularity of hours, meals, and exer- cise, but overstir nothing; season with a reasonable ambition, - altruistic as well as personal. ' If this dish fails in palatability, your grandfather is to blame; lay the result up to heredity and red-headity. Nobody can cook with a bum cook stove.
