grease can be conserved in the process to more than pay the expenses of running if this practical empei experience ence elsewhere to is correct why invite some stranger to do for you what you ought to be only too proud to do for yourselves same up north in regard to the creamery if there are cows enough to justify the call there are enough to build the creamery today the owners probably all make their own butter and run it to the local store it may be of all colors sizes and flavors and when put together it may be equal to or better than some carloads of mixed matter sent from this city to san francisco in the long ago the inspectors there could not be persuaded that it was the product of milk at all now for choice creamery butter uniform in texture color flavor and form there is yet a profitable market as there to is for its associate good cheese but the interested parties can cam afford to build and run their own without macedonia like crying to the world come over and help us then if self or union made it will be their own they will take pride in it pride in its product and they will realize that science in the manipulation of milk has done more for gustative enjoyment and for farmers profits than all the clever j matrona or farmers daughters could do by the too often uncertain methods i of the past i probably as the result of modern improvements prove ments and demands the building i of a grist mill is a more formidable un der taking than the others but if there was one man up there like bishop archibald gardner still living aged 84 1 they would find a grist mill before they knew where they were brother i G has built shall it be said without capital and individually near thirty mills in utah and that a thrifty corn com a needy one as represented cannot do it Is worse than nonsense why wheat will build mills if the spirit of operative cooperative co action is not dormant or asleep yes even a roller mill of the latest type tape can be built by wheat but combination could make the race get the rock find the lime secure the timbers and lumber and any mill builder will furnish the plans and furnish the machinery on partial time for a community so evidently prosperous thrifty and stable as the good folks of southern idaho they can vouch for themselves and it they pay a modicum of interest to the manufacturer of the needed machinery they can afford to do this quite as easily as an to pay any capitalist who may answer their urgent call the old proverb is that where theres a will theres a way probably if it can be wd said without libed none of those these publicly inquiring localities have the will or the director Is needed as in many other places to show the people a more acceptable way the general drift Is now it to is sad to say to beseech capital to come and do foi therall them ell that the people were originally taught to do for themselves hence canals reservoirs railroads carolines car lines klines electric works mills creameries crea meries can ceries waterworks water works public buildings school houses farms homes home etc are being created by and mortgaged to the upside world when patriotic statesmanship should devise plans and insist upon the utilization of home labor and home means for the building up of this pr proud oud yet half impoverished state whose people can neither own themselves their belongings or accessories so long as they are groaning under the incubus of public or private debt it is useless to talk of f true freedom when real slavery predominates a borrowing community is ever at the mercy of capital and when that la is from an alien and a stranger stang 0 so BO to speak the obligation Is vastly more galling than when the general indebtedness if any is to a friend frien one J
