g e ooy S o i 11 | ADVERTISEMENTS You Get What You Give HEN a business fails the finan- cial statement reflects the condi- tions at that time, but the real reason for failure is seldom shown. In many cases the true reason is that the business performed no service which was necessary or useful to society generally Every individual must give a useful ser-: vice if he is to prosper, for society will refuse to maintain him if he fails to be useful'to society. When we find a business which has been notably prosperous over a long period of years, we may be sure that it has won its position by performing a service useful and necessary That, in a word, explains the continued, ever-increasing success of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana.) This Company is included in the list of big business because the ideals of ser- vice which it holds and maintains are big. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is big because it recognizes the necessity of developing its sphere of usefulness to the highest degree and of maintaining this high standard in spite of every obstacle. The success of the Standard Oil Com- pany (Indiana) proves that it is perform- ing a useful service and that every link in its chain of achievements is delivering an added benefit to cmhzatlon and to you. Service is the first consideration of this organization, for it knows that by in- creasing its service to the public its earnings will automatrcally grow, and all will profit by its activities. - (Indiona) 910 S. chh1gan Avenue,} Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers ‘Standard Oil Cbmpany Chicago, Il | R —————e e e R P P S Calls Tax Lies F.

Editor Country Gentleman: It is about time the Country Gentleman either quits lying about North Dakota and the Nonparhsan league, or in- vents some new lie. I am a member ' of the League, pay my dues regularly, exactly as the members of the Retail Grocers’ association pay theirs, and feel I more than receive full compen- sation for the outlay. The scare our organization throws into people of your kidney is enough to repay the dues, had we no other return. Your leading editorial in the issue of Feb- ruary 7 is worse than a lie, for it is simply a half truth, and you know what ails it. Tell your readers the source of the inereased taxes of North Dakota—how much goes to the state government (the only branch for which the League is responsible) and how much comes about through local communities, mostly in the hands of the enemies of the League, and com- pare them with those of Minnesota, over whose -fate this year you have much ample cause to mourn, for it will toll the death knell of your friends, the enemies of labor and the farmer. You have never made the slightest attempt to be truthful” concerning what is going on in North Dakota. You dare not do it, because it rums counter to the interests of your ad- vertisers, from whom your-revenue is derived. You dare not tell the whole truth, and part truths are always worse than lies. Quit the practice either of lying in toto or by half truths. It is going out of fashion. It will soon join the oblivion into which are sinking the Bolshevik lie, the mania over those terrible anarchists, the Committee of Forty-Eight, the compulsory military training idiot, and the fellow who insists that the country would have plenty to eat at ridiculously low prices if only the farmer were not so infernal lazy. Quit lying, Mr. Editor, it is no longer good form. Seward, Neb. F. B. TIPTON. THE ROCHDALE PLAN The Rochdale plan of consumer co- operation used by the great co-opera- tive societies of England, Scotland and Ireland is bmlt on the following prin- ciples: 1. All members are equal—one per- son, one vote and no proxy voting. 2. Goods must be bought and sold for cash or its equivalent. 3. Capital does not control and only gels a reasonable rate of interest. 4. Profits are returned every three, six or twelve months-to the members, in proportion to their purchases. - b. Part of net profits set aside for educational purposes. 6. Retail stores are federated and own their wholesale organizations; factories, ete. 7. Pure goods: only handled — full weight and measure. 8. Best labor conditions observed. Union made goods given preference PAGE TWELVE er: I am inclosing copy.
