WORK FOE SAFETY
The tragic phase of automobile
fatalities is that most accidents are
unnecessary.
Yet every year thousands of peo
ple pay M-ith their lives for careless
ness, recklessness and incompetence
of drivers. !
Compulsory insurance can never
offset this irreparable loss. At its
best it can only indemnify. It be
gins at the M rong end of the .prob
lem. What is neede is a safety con
sciousness on the part of the public
and rigid enforcement of adequate
driving laws. In certain communities
safety lessons have been given in
schools. Mith the result that acci
dents to children appreciably de
creased. Tests have shown that the
accident rate Mill drop to a min
imum when traffic laws are enforced
and offenders punished.
In many localities the traffic codes
are out-M-orn and inadequate, hav
ing gone unrevised since the time
when an automobile M-as something
of a curiosity.
Education and laM- enforcement
have helped the railroads lower ac
cidents and helped in fighting fire
and disease. Applied to the automo
bile accident problem they Mould
give quick and gratifying results.

Ten years ago, even when every
thing else that was produced on the
farm was selling- "sky high" and
everyone had plenty of money with
which to huy what they wanted.
CREAM was selling for little more
than half what it is today.
:o:
Came the "depression" and hogs,
cattle, wheat, corn and almost ev
erything else that the farmer had
to sell dropped clear to the bottom
in price and that drop was followed
by a series of fluctuations which in
dicated that there was real compe
tition in buying and that producers
were getting at all times about all
that the market would afford.
:o:
But not so with CREAM. Regard
less of conditions generally CREAM
gained steadily in price from year
to year, and it is very important to
note that this gain was not in line
with gains of other products, but
it was almost in exact ratio to the
increase in the number of .Co-Oper-ative
Creameries, which furnished
REAL COMPETITIOX. where there
had been little or none before.
:o:
As the Co-Operatives became more
numerous, the price of cream grad
ually got on a higher level, gaining
in a space of ten years practically
20 cents a pound, in the face of a
tremendous increase in the number
of cows being milked in every com
munity all over the country.

will show a steady increase from
'year to year, and year after year in,
spite of the fact that the produc-;
j tion of that commodity is being
multiplied several times over in the
same period, there is but one logical !
answer. 1
-:o:-
That answer is that while they
had things all their own way, the'
big cream companies took advantage j
of the situation and piled up tre-:
mendous fortunes at the expense of
the farmer producers. Creamery but-,
ter was practically the same price!
on 25-cent butterfat as it is today, J
which indicates that tremendous 1
profits were being made before the'
coming of the Co-Operativc Cream
eries.
:o:
The Pn-Dnpratives forcpd them to
pay gradually increasing prices r.n-j
til cream has become the mainstay;
on hundreds of farms and an im
portant factor on almost all of
them.
:o:
Remember, Mr. Cream Producer,
that the expenses of your Co-Operative
Creamery are about the same
each month, whether it receives a
large volume of cream or a small
volume. The larger the volume the
higher will be the price of CREAM.
:o:
If you sell to a line cream sta-
tion with the idea of getting the
same price that the Co-Operative
creamery pays, you are iuiyi.j

HIT PAPER NUMBERS
fc rom Tuesday's Dally
This morning Chief of Police Li
bershal took into custody Frank
Rossi of Omaha Mho Mas charged
Mith operating a car Mithout the
proper license as he M-as operating
a car M-ith a paper number Mhich Mas
dated in May and Mhich the chief
decided Mas too great a stretch of
the mercy of the laM-. The matter
M-as heard by Judge C. L. Graves and
M'Lo gave a fine of $1 and costs for
j the effense Mhich the young man set
I tied and Mas allowed to go on his
I way rejoicing.
Let's Reason
rebbing yourself. For every pound
cf butterrat that the Co-Operative
Creamery fails to get in this terri
tory simply reduces their price that
much. And the price that the Co
operative Creamery pays is the one
that the line stations pay. Why do
aii3thing to reduce it?
The more cream that the Co-Operative
Creamery handles the more
money it will make. The more
money it maks the higher will
bp the price received by the folks
who sell it.
:o:
The more cream the big compan
ies buy the less will be the profits
of the Co-Operative Creamery. If
the line companies received enough
cream so that the Co-Operatives
could not make any piofit at all.
then there would be lower prices
from bcth the line stations and the
creamery. The big cream compan
ies paid low prices until the Co
operatives started in business. They
would now if they were gone.
:o:
Why depend on your neighbor
to sell his cream to the Co-Operative
Creamery and enable it to make a
profit so that the line station wi!l
pay you decent prices? If there
were no Co-Operative Creameries,
butterfat would probably be worth
25c a pound now in place of better
than 40 cents.
:o:
THINK IT OVER!
