Larger Farmer Business
Organizations
A definite trend toward the formation of larger
farmer cooperative marketing organizations in the
United States to effect greater marketing economies
was declared now in progress by J. F. Booth economist
of the United States department of agriculture ad-
dressing the internationsl pool conference st Regina.
Saskatchewan.
Other tendencies in cooperative marketing enumer-
ated by Mr. Booth include recognition of the need for
stronger financing; adoption of a form of organization
suitable to farmers their economic customs and the
trade conditions under which the commodity is to be
marketed; modification of contracts to suit the needs
of members; greater application of sound business
principles; and appreciation of the peculiar manage-
ment problems arising out of the members' relations to
the association as owner and patron.
“The size of the producing unit” Mr. Booth said
“will probably always remain comparatively small de-
spite the fact that the size of farms in the United
States shows a slight increase in late years. Not so
the marketing end however. Here there is a distinct
tendency toward combination of effort. Farmers are
enlarging their cooperatives and extending the scope
of their activities. In 1915 there were 6424 associa-
tions in the United States engaged in buying farm sup-
plies and selling farm products. Today we know of
10800 associations with a membership of more than
2.000. 000 farmers doing a business of approximately
12.400.000. 000 a year."
Mr. Booth outlined the historical development jf
cooperative grain marketing in the United States and
Canada and declared that conditions in the respective
countries have led to what might be referred to as r
community point of view in the United States and in
Canada to a viewpoint that considers the wheat-pro-
ducing industry as a whole. In Canada he said the
experiences of more than two decades formed a nat-
ural setting for the development and successful op-
eration of the wheat pool whereas in the United States
quite the opposite situation prevailed.
“But in spite of the fact that farmers in the Unit-
ed States have not given the su^ort to large-scale
grain marketing associations that might by expected”
Mr. Booth concluded “there are some indications of
renewed interest in the matter. Many believe that
farmers of the western states will not long continue
their present methods in the face of continued success
of large-scale grain market efforts in Canada.”
Agricultural Prosperity
American agriculture will be prosperous or unpros-
perotis dependent largely upon farmers’ recognition
of world economic cond’tions and upon how completely
the farms of our country are adjusted to prevailing
world condition* Lloyd S. Tenny chief of the bureau
of agricultural economics U. S. department of agricul-
ture. told members of the Vermont State Chamber of
Commerce in annual meeting at Rutland Vermont
Jure 8.
'"Agriculturally’’ he said “the world is smaller to-
day than the state of Vermont was a hundred years
ago. The farmer rf Vermont or the farmer of Iowa
today is influenc'd more by ronditions in Great Brit-
ain. Argentina Australia ir.d other part* of the world
than the formers of Vermont one hundred years ago
were nf!uor.ced by the happenings in the state of New
York. The American farmer must recognize this
change in agricultural conditions."
Mi. Tenny described the various services rendered
by the bureau of agricultural economics which deal
with the collection and dissemination of economics in-
formation and which ha\c a direct bearing and influ-
ence upon the ndividual farm. He said that fifteen
years ago there were no national standards for agri-
cultural commodities. There is now a national inspec-
tion service on many farm commodities the quality
of more than 200.000 carloads of fruits and vegetables
having been inspected and certified by the bureau the
last twelve months. There was no disinterested mar-
ket news information fifteen years ago. hut now almost
a complete national and even world service on agri-
cultural pgOducts is rendered by the buieau to pro-
ducers. lyltrihution agencies and consumers.

“YOU CANT WIN"
fNew York Evening Post).
To what depths Chicago had descended in the al-
liance between politics law and crime is illustrated
anew by the indictment of Charles S. Wharton on
charges of partcipation in the famous 1133.000 mail
train robbery last February at Evergreen Park 111.
Wharton was one* "the hoy congressman" from
the stockyards district. Later he was assistant to the
now notorious Robert E. Crowe state’s attorney of
Cook couny. Federal authorities have evidence that
the train robbers before they held up the train en-
gaged Wharton to defend them and afterward divided
their loot in hi* house and left him $4000 of it as a
retainer fee.
That such things *an even be charged against a for-
mer public prosecutor is a shocking revelation as to
processes that are probably normal and commonplace
in a community where United States senators sorrow-
fully attend the funerals of gang gunmen.
Nevertheless those who are preaching to would-be
criminals the doctrine that it does not pay must find
in this Evergreen Park case solid justification for their
theory. The crime was beautifully planned and carried
out. Everything was carefully rehearsed and perform-
ed according to plan. The train was stopped and robbed
of its “tipped off” treasure exactly as per schedule.
The masked men silently and safely escaped in their
waiting motors. Not a trace of therr identity was left
visible to the naked eye.
:hs after the crime two
members of the gang have been mysteriously mur-
dered for their share of the loot one has confessed
three are in jail all are indicted; including the attor-
ney Wharton and two are fugitives on the face of tht
earth. One-third of the S133000 has been recovered.
It was because each member of the gang thought the
other had “gypped" him out of his share that the
“squeals" came to the police. Vengeful wives or
sweethearts furnished most of them. The warning
“You can’t win" is right.
A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION
(Corpus Christi Caller).
Because of a growing belief that the jury system
is inadequate in passing upon cases involving ques-
tions of the defendants’ sanity the National Crime
Commission has launched a campaign which has as its
object the placing of such cases in the hands of ex-
pert alienists.
I •
The Remus case the commission stated in a report
was an instance of “the utter absurdity of entrusting
the difficult determination of mental responsibility of
an accused person for his acts to twelve laymen ad-
mittedly unable to pass on the question from their
own knowledge or training."
No effort is being made or is contemplated for mod-
| ifying the present jury system of trials. Rather in
J cases where the question of mental responsibility
! arises the sanity or insanity of the defendant would
: be passed upon by the board of alianiats paid by the
state. Should the defendant be found sane he would
stand trial as usual save that his mental responsibility
would not be made a point of issue. Should he be
found insane the state could proceed with its duties
without the necessity of conducting a long-drawn ex-
pensive and rather inconclusive court trial.
Not the least of the virtues of the new system
i would be the fairness which it would insure to all
j persons accused of crimes. The penniless defendant
who cannot afford the services of alienists to prove
him mentally irresponsible would be placed on a parity
' insofar as the law is concerned with the millionaire
who can afford any expenditure he might wish to make
for legal talent or “expert testimony."
The public has become rather disgusted of late with
the apparent travesties which have taken place in our
[ courts. The Remus case is but one. Few of our insti-
i tutions not even the cherished jury system can face
I changing conditions without some modifications.

IN NEW YORK
Ralph Waldo Trine was in to see me and I had an
interesting visit with him. He is the author of “In
Tune With the Indinite” a book that was first issued
thirty years ago. and has sold nearly a million copies.
He has written several other books but this one is
known to more people than almost any other modern
book. Charles M. Sheldon’s “In His Steps” sold many
more copies but its sale was chiefly during a period
of a few years and I doubt that many people buy it
today. In Tune With the Infinite’’ is as popular now
as it was thirty years ago.
Three generations of the present royal family ot
i England have read and love this remarkable boox.
1 Queen Victoria praised “In Tune With the Infinite"
| and last Christmas the Prince of Wales having read
the book and admired it. bought a copy for his father
the king as a Christmas present.
• • • •
Mr. Trine is a kindly conversational man and
doesn’t appear to be nearly old enough to have written
a book thirty years ago. He is full of maxims and
little sermonettes about life and living. He once at-
tended Johns Hopkins university as a graduate stu-
dent. He is a friend and admirer of Henry Ford who
j has derived much inspiration from Mr. Trine’s books
....
I promised to report on the sun-bath beach on the
roof of a building across the street from my office
| developments have been few up to the time of writing
this because the days have been cool. The bathers
that I have seen have been young men. They bathe n
a bl* tub on the ro°E and then lie on slatted couches
and dry in the sun. This gives the Florida tan at a
fraction of the cost of a season at the beach. I expect
; to see a crowded roof-beach when really hot weather
i comes.

Ehncr Peterson a magazine editor from Drs Moines.
: and Bernard Vaughan editor of a weekly in St. Pan!
were among my recent visitors. I gather from them
| hat bu’'ne*s conditions in Iowa and Minnesota are en-
couraging. It is interesting to me to hear about the
■ growing literary and artistic life in these important
I cities. St. Paul. Minneapolis and Des Moines .re in-
dependent cities. They do not look to New York for
| life or permission to live and think. And yet they are
.thoroughly in touch with the world all the time. It
i is pleasant to live in such cities.

INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION SEEN AS HEADING
TOWARDS C'O-OI’ERATIVE COMPETITION
By LINCOLN C. ANDREWS
Former Assistant Treasurer of the United States.
(Lincoln C. Andrew* was born at Owatonna.
Mshn.. in 1867. He studied at Cornell university
and later attended the United State* Military
Academy. After pursuing a military career for
some year* Andrews became chief executive of the
New ^ork Transit Commission in 1921. He was ap-
pointed assistant *ecretary of the United States
treasury and also became connected with the pro-
hibition enforcement bureau. Andrews became
chief of the prohibition enforcement bureau in
1925 but resigned the position in 1927).
Thirty years ago. and not for the first time in the
history of the race government outlawed trusts and
monopolies in restraint of trade as repugnant to the
fundamental philosophy of life on which our civilizn-
I tion is founded. During those 30 years economic con-
jditions developed quite beyond the power of human
magination to have conceived at the time. In the
| presence of modern mass production and distribution
! competition between groups and avtn between indus-
try*. hand to mouth buying and modern facilities for
| transportation banking and communication the old-
time competitor standing alone and without adequate
and prompt information as to his own trade data finds
himself driven to destructive competition and other
| desperate measures in order to kaep his business go-
ing. He must seek some form of relief.
This relief i* in sight. The American industrialist
true to his country’s principles of competition and in-
dustrial freedom is working out. successfully a new
theory of business conduct summoned up in the phrase
| "co-operation in competition." The industrial institute
l is the machinery they employ. As I see it American
industry is in the midst of what amounts to an indus-
trial evolution gradually and often painfully develop-
i ing a workable machinery under the impulse of eco-
nomic necessity and guidance of governmental agen-
cie*.
There seems to be no alternative to the continuance
of present unsatisfactory conditions to the “profit-
less prosperity” that seems to be the present lot. The
remedy will not be found in combinations snd merger.

RELEASED BY CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION
READ THIS FIRST:
Ackland Center a little old town
in New England is proud of its
beauty and traditions. But the mod-
ern world crowds in on its peace and
quiet. Finally a notorious roadhouse
Jazzland is opened by a gang of
bootleggers. Liquor flows. Girls of
the town are lured there. The editor
of the "Weekly Age" is murdered for
his editorial attacks. His brother
Homer Pew takes up the fight.
Homer is joined by Stella Bagot one
of the home-town girls who has
made good as a writer in New York.
Stella comes to write a story and re-
mains to fight Jazzland. Homer is
beaten up in a mysterious midnight
attack. Stella takes charge of the
paper and writes sizzling editorials.
She also tries to trace a telephone
call believing it to come from the
murderers. Stella finds her littie
sister Martha has been out on a
lark to Jazzland and has been drink-
ing. She gives her a lecture and
Martha complains that she is kept at
home while Stella has been allowed
to go to college and later take up her
own life in New York. Stella retires
to her room and leaves a note pinned
on her door telling her mother to
awaken her early the next morning.
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
• • •
CHAPTER XIX
When her heavy eyes opened they
rested on her mother standing be-
side the bed with a tray.
“I didn’t have the heart to wake
you before Stella. You were sleep-
ing so soundly.”
"What time is it?"
"The noon whistle just blew."
Stella sat up. “But mother . . .*•
"I saw your note. dear. But when
the Age came and we realized what
you’d been through we both thought
you’d better sleep. Your father was
awake until after one. so we knew
you weren't in then. It's pretty bad
those attacks. I don’t know what
we’re coming to."
"It’s awful." Stella sipped her cof-
fee. "We stopped the presses. 1
wrote the piece in the Age." She'd
have to think quickly.
“A man called up. Stella. A little
after eleven.”
"A man? Oh!"
"He seemed anxious to get in
touch with you. He ... he
wouldn't give his name. Boston
call."
It was rather awkward. Mrs.
Bagot moved about the room raising
curtains and putting thing# to rights.
Stella sensed anxiety and hesitant
questions. She decided on activity as
the best defense.
“I wonder if father could let me
have the Ford.”
“W hy I suppose so. But must
you dash right out again dear?
Don’t you think you’d better rest?
Your father's been rather hoping for
a chance to show you something of
what he’s been doing about the place.
But he wouldn’t say anything. You
know how he is. Unless you showed
interest."
“I c*n't mother. Not now while
all this is going on. .My place i»
right in it." She tried to smile re-
assuringly. She must appear mis-
tress of herself. Above all she must
get away from the house. She
couldn’t think here. And Ernest
might call her again and talk In a
way she couldn’t meet w-ith compli-
cated evasions. “Y’ou see. Mother
the best way to work up the back-
ground for my article seemed to be
to go right to work on the Age. So
that’s what I’m doing. I’ll go over
the place tomorrow. It will be nice
to have a good visit with father.
He’s such a dear!"
There wasn't quite the ring of sin-
cerity in her voice that she meant it
to have. But she couldn’t help that.
She dressed hurriedly. And as she
did so Mrs. Bagot moved in and out
of the room ever on the brink of
questioning.
She was down in the front hall
putting on her hat when the most
pressing of those questions finally
slipped out. "You don't want to tell
me who the man is. dear?”
"The man? Oh. that Boston call?
It must have been one of the New
York folks. There was some talk of
our getting together today. But of
course I didn’t know then what I
was being drawn into here.”
"He was rather persistent.”
“So?” Stella contrived a smile.
"Dear . . you must he patient
with a mother's anxieties . . . but
I can’t help wondering about your
I life down there in New York."
■ * • . • e Stf- ‘ ..
"It s a busy life. .Vlurasie neat.
And a good deal healthier than you
seem to think.”
“Oh. it isn't that I doubt you . . .
Stella kissed her and fled. She
found her father greasing the Ford
and greeted him cheerily.
“It's pretty bad about Homer Pew”
he remarked.
“They almost kiled him.”
“Did you see him?”
"Yes. I went right out there from
the Age office. . . . Oh Father it
just occurred to me (thank heaven
her mind was active again!) this
place they call Jazziand must be the
old Parmenter place.”
“Yes.”
“How did the Parmentcrs come to
let them have it?”
"They didn't. That was rather odd.
Fred Parmenter died last year you
know.” Stella didn't recollect hut
waited attentively. "When Mary
found out what they wanted it for
she refused to sell. It took some
courage. Fled didn't leave her any
too well fixed. But there was quite
a little feeling about it you know.
Mary showed a good deal ©f courage.
She told me she just didn't think it
would be good for the town. And
she hated to think of the old place
going for a roadhouse. Her folks
bought it from the Indians you see.
in IfiSO.”
"But if she refused to sell how did
they get it?”
“That was odd. I don't think it is
understood around town. Mary came
over here one evening before she
went south and told me about it.
She felt rather badly. Henry Mar-
ker's little farm was next door you
know. He told Mary he wanted to
enlarge his place and took a three
months’ option. Paid five hundred
dollars down. Offered it.”
“Where did Henry Harker get five
hundred dollars?”
“That’s the question. Mary didn’t
know you see. that he was up
against it and in danger of being
sold up for taxes. I knew.”
“The Jazziand people simply made
him their agent thsn?”
“I can't say. Apparently some-
body did. They bought his property
too.”
“Oh! Where i* he now ?”
"California. He just quietly w-ent
away. It w-ss a rather sharp trick.
But I suppose Henry just didn't
know which way to turn.”

WASHINGTON. June 11.—Starting
almost a year ago—dating to be ex-
act from June 12 1927 or exactly a
year short of the day set for opening
of the first of this summer's two big
conventions—I began jotting down
the name of every man 1 heard men-
tioned. by anyone whose guess seemed
fairly entitled to any consideration
at all. as a presidential possibility
on either major ticket.
As the time draws near for the
momentous selections to be made
maybe this list will be interesting to
politicians.
Of course a good many of the
names will sound ridiculous now.
Some of them never did represent
genuine possibilities. Some did only
for a while. The owner of one of
the names is dead.
At any rate for better or for
worse here they all are.

U. S. to Assist In
Securing Pickers
Approximately 100.000 cotton pick-
ers will be needed to handle the cot-
ton crop in the Rio Grande Valley
and the “blackland” section near
Rohstown. according to an estimate
made bv the United States Depart-
ment of Labor.
The laborers are to register in
San Antonio and will be placed aa
tne demands for their services come
to that office. C. W. Woodman as-
sistant director of the department
stated.
Cotton farmers of the Rio Grande
Valley will register with a repre-
sentative of the labor divisions te
be stationed at Edinburg and pickers
will be sent out of San Antonio tt
this point as they are needed.
Plans now formed for the hand
ling of this labor problem will elim-
inate the necessity of cotton farmers
dealing with “labor oootleggers" as
was the case two years ago. Wood-
man said.

EVEN A SMART DOG NEEDS
TRAINING
Many people imagine that a hunt-
ing dog ia born with all the qualities
needed for the work that he ia to
do. The truth ia. of course that
hunting dogs are born only with the
instinctive traits which makes it
easy to train them. This is also
true of various breeds which have
been trained for so-called police
work. The offspring of the best
hunting strain must be carefully
trained just as the son of a famous
musician can never become a concert
performer without painstaking study
and effort. No matter how great your
dog's natural aptitndes may be. they
can reach their fullest possibilities
only through training.
Those who intend to take their
dogs hunting with tbrm often see to
it that each dog shall be accustomed
from puppyhood to the sound of a
gun. The common method of doing
this is to walk along with a revolver
or even a cap pistol and explode it
occasionally without «omment of any
bind and paying no attention to the
dog.. In this way the shot makes
the least possible impression on the
dog’s mind. As nothing unpleasant
accompanies the sound he soon
recognise* that it ia harmless.
A simple method of teaching a
r~" ... .-.
hunting dog to retrieve without
crushing or brooking the*skin of a
bird is to have him learn on a bird
carcass full of pins. Likewise a pup
that likes to suck eggs is soon brok
en of the vice if no once or twice
gets an egg filled with pepper.
One kennel master has his dogs
trained to be quiet at tha sound of
a bell. All he has to do if he hears
a disturbance in the night ia to press
a button near hia bed which rings
a bell in the kennels and the dogs
immediately become silent. They
have learned by previous association
that it behoove* them to quit bark-
ing when that bell ring*.
A friend of mine who usually haa
a dozen dogs about bis place is in-
sistent that eaeb dog learn hi* name
almost from the moment of arrival.
He selects a abort name and aticks
to it. and he make* it a point never
to call the dog a nickname. Ha
places food on the ground calls
each dog in turn .md give* him food
when he comes. If other dogs come
he reproves them. In a surpris-
ingly short time each dog learn* to
know not only his own name but to
! recognise that he murt come only
when called by that name.
