CO-OPERATION REALLY PAYS Farmers of Central Kansas Form Or ganizalon for Purpose of Buying and Selling Crops. Ten cars of seed wheat, sold at a long advance over Kansas City prices. were shipped by the Lost Springs (Kansas) farmers' union this year. In addition a large quantiy of seed was sold in smaller lots. This extensive marketing of high priced seed wheat was made possible by cooperative growing and selling. Lost Springs is a small town in cen tral Kersas. It is in a rich farming region. 'The farmers grow good crops I and they determined to get the best prices for them. So they organised a union and now they do their own buying and selling in large lots. When the union was organised the number of its members could easily have been unted on the fiagers of two hands. Coperation might be a good thing, but most of the farmers in the coun try near Lost Springs desired to be shown before they joined. They soon were converted, writes Floyd B. Nich ols, in the Orange Judd Farmer. Now the membership has increased to over 50. Almost all of the farmers within ten miles of Lost Springs belong to the union. So far this year the union has shipped 21 cars of wheat to be sold for milling purposes. The wheat that was shipped to the central mar kets brought an average of five cents a bushel, after the freight and other expenses were paid, more than the local buyers offered. They have shipped 27 cars of corn and nine cars of oats, which were sold at two to six cents' advance over the prices offered by the local buyers. The union also has handled 600 bushels of kafir corn, 500 bushels cane seed. 225 gallons of kerosene and 40 gallons of gasoline so far this year. Thus, by the system of distribution which the Lost Springs farmers have worked out the middleman is eliml nated. The producer and consumer can divide his proftts. Seed wheat is one of the special ties of the members of this assocla tion. Every farmer grows pure Khark of wheat-wheat that was reported as excellent by a representative of the milling department of the Kan sas agricultural college last June. The original seed was purchased in carload lots two years ago. All the wheat in the neighborhood is uni formly pure Kharkof. Remedy for Skin Disorder.

Wisconsin Expert Says $225.000,00 El Is Lost to Consumers and Pro ducers of Farm Truck. That a saving of $225,000,000 could be made to the consumers and pro ducers of the farm produce of this La country through co-operative buying la and selling is the opinion of John ek Sinclair of the Wisconsin legislative w reference library. ril For the purpose of devising some pl plan whereby consumers could reduce the cost of living by paying less for in their food products while the farmers to of the state would, at the same time, at receive more for their crops and pro- oz duce, more than a year ago Mr. Sitr at clair was sent by the Wisconsin ai state board of public affairs, to Eng- in land. Denmark and other European et countries in which cooperative mar u] keting has succeeded, to study the al methods followed there, and to deter mine whether or not these would be w applicable to Wisconsin conditions. A report but lately issued by this depart- al ment contains a summary of his find ings which should be of unusual in- ai terest to the consumers and producers S of the state. The farm produce of this country is T worth about $9.000,000,000, and as suming that half of this represents the cost of marketing under the pres ent system. Mr. Sinclair, in this re port, estimates that at least five per cent. of the other half could be saved * by the producers by having their own h cooperative managers and sales d agents. This' would mean a net gain b. to the people of "$225,000,000. And the ci experience of co-operators in Ireland a and Denmark, as told in Mr. Sinclair's c, report, was that many times five per tl cent. could be saved. p The great aim of cooperation, asc- n cording to this investigator, is to in- a, crease production and to get the pro- g duct to the consumer as economically a as possible. Getting the product into w the hands of the consumer is, of course, a very intricate process where n growers and consumers are as far re- t moved from each other as they are at c the present time. Naturally enough p the large producers cannot attend a personally to all the details of a transportation and marketing of their b output of produce. They can. how- o ever. hire competent men at regular a salaries to properly take care of some f of these phases of production and marketing. But they can only afford t to do this by cooperating with other f producers. p Secretary Wilson of the depart ment of agriculture, has estimated that but 46 per cent. of what the con sumer pays for his product ever gets back to the farmers. If the present v charges of distributing and retailing I' farm products by private concerns f were not excessive, there would be no t need of changing the system. But it is evident that 50 per cent. of the selling a price is a high rate to pay for putting E the products into the consumers a hands. Experience in other countries 1 and to a lesser degree in this, has al ready gone far to show that co-opera- I tive agencies give improved service at a largely diminished cost. How im- I portant a further application of this principle is, may be judged from the I fact that the present annual retailing value of farm produce in this country is about $9,000,000000. Assuming that half of this represents the cost of t marketing under the present system. t and if but five per cent. of the other i Shalf could be saved to the producers h by hiring their own cooperative man agers and sales agents, it would still t mean a net gain of $225,000,000. 1 Co-operation can unquestignably ac complish more through the savings t which producers may realise by con ducting their own distribution, than , through increase in the wholesale price obtained. We need a better ad- } justment of supply and demand, which will make it possible to market com modities when and where they will, bring the largest net return. USE AND ABUSE OF STORAGE ----- ( Enormous Quantities of Food Wasted In Order to Secure Higher Price -How it Works. Few things are more useful oer more abused than the cold storage of food 1 products. In the producing season of various edibles, there is usually a sur plus which must be wasted unless there is some provision for preserving it for use during the lean season. In the true economy of existence this preservation is the purpose of cold storage. But, in the economy of dollar chasing, cold storage has bben used to 1 increase prices during the season of plenty, and to make them still high er during the season of scarcity One of the effects of this has been to waste enormous quantties of food. In some instances it has been found to be more profitable to let some of such food rot, because the increased price of that which was saved more than offset I the loss by waste. It is true that this has not always been the case, as was shown by the loss of the egg packers two years ago. But the important thing is that the people should not be robbed of food by the cupidity of the speculators. Waste never made a veo pie rich, no matter how some individu als have profited by it, and the avoid ance of such waste would have served to give men and women strength and ability to do the work that the nation needs. We have too many people who are struggling-ad failing-to make both ends meet in this land of plenty. -Indianapolis News Capons Profitable.

He at once went ni up to her and, pointing with his finger m at the bag, said: bh "Madam, won't you take some ham to with that?" be The good lady was not in the least fu abashed, but replied: "Ah, captain, sure It's a joker you pi are," and stuck to her booty.-From m Sir Alfred Turner's Autobiography. R THE BEST TREATMENT FOR tu ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF AND FALLING HAIR H To allay itching and irritation of the B scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling a hair, remove crusts, scales and dan- is druff, and promote the growth and it beauty of the hair, the following spe of cial treatment is most effective, agree- ai able and economical. On retiring, gi comb the hair out straight all around. it then begin at the side and make a oi parting, gently rubbing Cuticura olnt- IE ment into the parting with a bit of u soft flannel held over the end of the () finger. Anoint additional partings about half an inch apart until the whole scalp has been treated, the pur pose being to get the Cuticura Oint- 01 ment on the scalp skin rather than on t the hair. It is well to place a light b covering over the hair to protect the pillow from possible stain. The next e morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap n and hot water. Shampoos alone may a be used as often as agpeable, but ii once or twice a month Is generally v sufficient for this special treatment o for women's hair.

Drastic medicines like salts, mineral waters, pills and powders may afford tempo rary relief, but their violent action on , the stomach and bowels tends to up - set the entire system. A mild laxative is far preferable and more effective. The combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre scribed by Dr. W. B. Caldwell, and sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is ideal for women, being gentle in action, pos Itive in effect and pleasant to thej taste. A spoonful of Syrup Pepsin at • night will bring natural relief next morning and, used regularly for a brief period, will so strengthen and T tone the muscles of the stomach and - bowels that there will be little, if any, further need for medicine. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can be procured in any drug store. Your I name and address on a postal to Dr. F W. B.
