CHICAGO, Nov. 21—University
of Chicago co-eds, meeting to dis-
cuss men, dances, parties and prop-
er introductions, decided yesterday
that “all men are talkers, some of
them serious and dull, some of
them frothy and dull and others
trivial and dull."
A move with the right man is
more desirable than grand opera
with a “sap” said the girls, who
expressed themselves in favor of
three dates a week, preferably
theatre dates. Three shows were
price by this method. Cotton asso-
clations were able to sell the 1922 crop
at from $25 to 335 advance over the
street price for the same grades."
A prosperous year for the co-opera-
tive enterprises of the farmers union,
was reported by W. C. Iansden,
Salinn, Kan, national organiser, who
declared the union’s livestock com-
mission houses would have a volume
of sales for 1323 amounting to $2,-
000,000 and would distribute $300,000
in shippers" dividend® bn Dec. 31.
Goyernor Gifford Pinchot of Penn-
sylvania in an address declared “the
fundamental need" of the farmer at
present is a satisfactory market for
his products which can be brought
about by extension of co-operative
endeavor, construction of deep water
ways and greater electrification of
farms.
"Co-operation, more than any other
single remedy. points the. way out."
Governor Pinchot declared. He em-
phasized that the farmers' market lie.
mainly at home in American towns and
cities. A better market abroad, the
governor said. can be had by helping
improve European condition and by
national legislation for special credit
facilities for farm products.
