10 THE GLEANER ' muneration for his milk. Co-op- eration is needed everywhere, es- pecially in educational institutions. None of our enterprises can be a success if co-operation, harmony, is lacking. Discord, want of co-op- eration has led many nations into trouble, However, we must not wrongly interpret this doctrine. It will only be beneficial when applied to the furtherance of wor'diy causes. It is germane to say that co-operation of the kind that the worker and farmer utilize is the desired kind, because of its good for the mistreated and abused, but is not the desired kind, when capital eo-operates to exploit more easily the laboring classes. However, let us co-operate here at the school, and -uphold co-opera- tively all school activities. Let us contribute our undivided help and attention, and success will surely be ours. N. B. G., 'l7. A PARTING WORD In a few days we are about to graduate, receive our diplomas and depart from the place where We spent three years of toil and joy. Now we are about to harvest the fruit thereof. Not only now is it that we harvest it, but it will have its bearing in years to come. What- ever stand, position or attitude We may assume in this World it will be partly the result of our stay here. Here we received the foun- dation and moulding for the future. As graduates of an agricultural school our chances in life are great, and therefore start out cheerfully. However, a word of advice in part- ing to you undergraduates is in place. You are about to shed your old coats and assume new ones. Make it your business to act as be- comes the dignity of your new coats. You are upper class men and you must act it rightly and- truly. tVVe wish you success. Adieu. H N. B. G., '17. NVith this graduation we are about to lose our friend, C. J. Toor. He took a post-graduate course last year, and now is leaving us fully prepared to meet the world. Through his P. G. course year he contributed his help and support as faithfully as in previous years. We wish him success and good luck.

YVhilc there he was instrumental in organizing the Canby Live Stock Shipping Asso- ciation and thc Breeders' Associa- tion, of which body he was secre- tary. I-le was an officer of the XVest Central Minnesota Develop- ment Association and of the Min- nesota League of Community Clubs. Mr. Ostrolenk gained more than state-wide fame as a commun- ity worker because of the organiza- tion of the Canby community which he effected and which had for its basis a better understanding be- tween the farmers and townsmen for social and commercial co-opera- tion. He contributed considerably to leading magazines notably the Country Gentleman, The F211'11l61',S XVife, The Banker Farmer. The Breeders' Gazette and others. He is the author of Distrust Busting in Canby, Getting Acquainted in Canby, The Farmers' Town, Come to Canby and Buy a Pig and others.

Nebraska and Miss- ouri speaking on the Call of the C ommunityf' a lecture that brought its author into prominence through the middle west. Mr. 0strolenk's work with the boys' and girls of Canby through corn, tomato, bread baking and pig raising clubs has received special'commendation. We welcome you, Professor Os- trolenk, and wish you success in all your enterprises. OUR 'PAPER The publication of this issue in- augurates a new year of the liLlC.XNIiR, whose publication was, for certain reasons, suspended some months ago. Now the oppor- tune time has come to further pro- mote its existence. We all feel and realize the GLEANERJS necessity. Its abrupt cessation was inevitable. However, let bygones be bygones and strive to make it a success. I have full confidence that it will suc- ceed, knowing who the men are, that are placed in charge of it. Es- pecially does the newly adapted system that regulates the school as- sure its success. The student body is governed by a senate consisting of nine members, who are compe- tent men.. The said senate was in- troduced by our new director, who has the interest of the students and school at his heart. We look for- ward to a very successful GLEANER future. You only need to reach out for it and press forward. N. B. G., '17. CO-OPERATION 'ln unity there is strengthf What an enormous depth of truth under- lies this axiom. Unity. Our North American states are called 'United States' Workers that are united- have a so-called organiza- tion-union. There is a Union Pacific railroad and many others. VVhy are all these bodies headed union? Because of the fact that in unity and co-operation there is strength and consequently protec- tion. The nations that are more advanced in civilization realize it fully and use it to their advantage. Furthermore, it is fast becoming a necessity that we co-operate. The farmer has found it out quite re- cently, and to some extent it helped him to get a more reasonable re-
