INCLUDING AUSTIN JOURNAL.
AND BROWNSDALE LEAFLET
Entered as second-class mail matter at
the postoffice, Austin Minn.
OLE LEVANG'S canvasB for congress
is in dead earnest and do not be sur
prised if he is a winner.
A man who claims bis beard was
yanked out by an Ely, Minn., police
man while in the Ely lockup sues the
cop for $500 for his beard. He ought
to get it if the allegations contained in
the complaint are true.
THE new North Dakota express rates
put laundry in the first class as a luxury
and beer in the second and lower rate
class because it is a necessity. We
should hate to live in a state where a
clean shirt was considered a luxury.
AN American horse, H. B. Duryea'e
Durbar II, won the English Derby
Wednesday against the largest field
since 1863 with odds of 25 to 1 posted
against Duubar. The stake is valued at
$32,500. Everything seems to be com
ing this way.
THE publisher of the Sioux Falls
Journal was recently sued by an official
for 810,000 and after six hours deliber
ation the jury gave a verdict of $1
against the editor and made him liable
aleo for $1 of the costs. This libel
business comes pretty expensive.
HOME rule for Ireland passed the
house of commons for the third term
on Monday by a majority of 77 and is
now a law. The yote being 351 yeas
and 274 nays. The fight for home rule
has lasted nearly a half century. Pos
sibly the end of trouble is not yet.
THE Fairmont Independent figures
that the Qre insurance companies are
enjoying rich pickings in that town. In
1913 over $19,000 were paid in prem
iums and ouiy #775 were returned in
losses. Outside (he big cities these
profits show up in many other places.
AN Omaha brakeman living in St.
Paul is suing for divorce claiming that
his wife has left him a hundred times
during the past three years and that
her desertions have cost him at leas-t
83,000 for defectives and rebuying
furniture, iiritar give him a life re
lease, judge He has earned it.
REPRESENTATIVE VOLSTEAD insists
that the pending anti trust bill fails to
touch the root of the evil of corporate
management. "Most of our troubles
today, including high costs of food
products, grow out of the practice of
watering stock,'' Mr. VolBtad says.
•'This evil is not touched by the Demo
cratic program." Something worth
thinking over.
NOTHING helps a candidate for office
like a good clean consistent record.
Lots of people are out working for
Henry Kines for state auditor just be
cause they admire the long hard fight
he has made for good government, and
because they know he has backed up
every promise he ever made by actual
performance, just as he will do in the
auditor's office.
THE dignified course which W. E.
Lee is taking in his canvass for nomin
ation is winning him friends daily.
The whole horde of office holders under
Eberhart together with the newspapers
who are in the game for what they get
out of it are all busy trying to detract
from Lee's honorable public life but
they are helping his cause with intelli
gent, fair minded voters.
THE Presbyterian General Assembly
recommended that the committee on
Christian life and work be authorized
and directed to organize a campaign of
education in onr churcheB and com
munities as to the sacrednees of marri
age and the evils of divorce with a
view to their taking definite steps to
secure improved legislation. This loose
divorce eyil should have been corrected
long ago.
ONE of the railroad officials interest
ed hopes that the new union station at
S Paul will be atarted this year. At
the present rate of progress, there is
not much prospect. The Great North
em and the Milwaukee roads have the
property that must be purchased for
the site and there is a great difference
of opinions as to values. Meanwhile
the traveling public suffers great in
convenience.

Bays of the Lee-Eberhart scrap: "W.!

date and that he will prove a formid-.

backing the Eberhart campaign. Lee's

MEANS FINANCIAL
PROFIT TO FARMERS
Every Locality Should Have a
Co-operative Creamery.
WHAT EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN
By JAMES SORENSON, Manager Al
bert Lea State Creamery.
The advantages of a co-operative
Dreamery or cheese factory are many.
However, the most important point
to consider is that the patrons will
receive more net money by operating
their own factory than they will by
patronizing outside concerns. No one
can deny that the co-operative cream
eries and cheese factories are re
sponsible for placing thousands of
dollars annually in the pockets of
Minnesota dairymen which they would
never get without co-operative asso
ciations. This assertion is proved by
conditions in some other states, where
the net price paid to the dairymen
for butter fat is as much as 10 cents
per pound lower than the price re
ceived by dairymen from many of the
Minnesota co-operative creameries.
It is very evident that the differ
ence is due to the prevalence of co
operation in Minnesota and to the
fact that the control of the dairy
business is in the hands of the dairy
men themselves. There are places in
this state, and doubtless in other
states, where the farmers are afraid
to organize and operate their own
factories, for fear of outside competi
tion. It is not at all likely that a
time will come when a co-operative
creamery or cheese factory with
proper patronage can be seriously in
jured in this way. For instance, if a
creamery starts in any community
where there is enough raw material
to operate it economically, and if
everybody in the organization con
tinues to patronize it, there is no
chance for any one to injure it. The
success of a creamery or cheese fac
tory does not depend upon what out
siders do, but it does depend on wheth
er those who should patronize it
stand by it or not.
It should be remembered that there
is a period of development for every
creamery or cheese factory, just as
for any business or farm. The first
year things are not as well arranged
as they should be later. In the es
tablishment of a factory, this same
period of de\elopment must be looked
for, and it is through this period that
Jie co-operative qualities of people
•are tested. The importance of stand
ing by the local creamery should be
made plain to every one. If the ad
vice of this article is carefully fol
lowed any community in need of a
creamery or cheese factory, in the
course of a few years may have a
good plant. It is a duty each individ
ual owes to his community and state,
to encourage such enterprises. Don't
wait for some one to come in and de
develop the dairy industry. Do it
yourself and get the benefit. If an
outsider comes in he will be looking
after his interests and not the inter
ests of the community. A poor start
in a community is hard to overcome.
It is important that you start right.
No Substitute.
There is no^substitute for thorough
going, ardent and sincere earnest
ness.—Dickens.
