Organization Formed By Means of Which a Business Solution of the Pro blems of Sale of Products and Purchase of Supplies ts Reached. By W. P. Bales. , . . , The cooperation of every farmer and producer in t he Çounty is the ordy thing needful to the solution of the farmers problems. Already ,t tas been seen that the potato growers, the fruit men, and the producers a ' 0, >g ot | 1 * lines can increase their profits materially by getting together and the suc cess of the organizations already in the field along these lines to the fullest what can be done by a farmers organization along broa .der lines and embracing EVERY farmer producing anything and everything from the little patch of truck or berries to the wholesale wheat or potato 8 ° Such an organization is now in the field. Already hundreds of farmery large and small, have given their names, but we want EVERY r AKMfcK in the county on the list. Argument is scarcely necessary to show the value of such an organization made unanimous. Think of it. Our represen tatives can go to the biggest buyers and biggest sellers in the world and buy and sell on terms undreamed of. If we take our wheat to the mill we can get pounds more of flour to the hundred of wheat than we can as indiv iiuals. We can sell through our organization all of our grain alfalfa and grass seeds, our hogs and poultry and our surplus stock of all kinds to Butte, San Francisco and Portland markets in car load lots. In the matter of buying our organization will purchase in large quanti ties for cash, receiving the very lowest price, benefitting our members pro duncing competition and reducing the cost of living. The man of moderate means in our organization is exactly on the same footing as the big farmer. His dollar will go just as far, and his one sack of flour will cost him the same price as his neighbor has to pay for each of his fifty sacks, and he will receive the same pro. rata price for everything he has to sell. _ Then there is the exchange plan. One member has something he doesn Avant and another member wants just that thing and has something else to dispose of. The exchange department takes care of that and brings the mem' bers together for a square deal. The possibilities of the organization are unbounded. Here is the farmers' opportunity. Every newspaper in the county is cooperating in the plans. As soon as five hundred farmers have signified their willingness to cooperate an organization meeting will be held, officers will be chosen by vote, by-laws adopted and the work begun. The charter list is open and it will cost a quarter to join and that sum will pay the preliminary organization expenses. , . . . Below is printed an application blank, sign it and clip it out and mail it to W. P. Bales, R. D. 1, Caldwell, Idaho. When the parent organization is completed, separate locals will be organized, and the members can join their own locals cooperating with the parent body. Members are invited from all over the state, Canyon, Ada, Washington and every county that supports a farmer. These later will form their own locals. Clip out this bla>nk and mail it at once. ********************************** * * ♦ I hereby apply for charter membership in the Farmers' Co- * operative Society and promise to pay membership fee of 25c when + the society is organized. * APPLICATION BLANK.

FAMOUS COWGIRL WILL RIDE AND ROPE AT "FRONTIER DAYS" LUCILE MULHALL AND AG GREGATION OF WILD WEST RIDERS, A STAR EVENT. Lucile Hulhall, the Oklahoma cyclone,—the girl who put the buck in buckaroo, and the most talked of woman wild west rider in the world, proposes to surpass ever her former efforts in the coming Frontier Days at Walla Walla, September 17th to 19th inclusive. In a letter to Secretary Johnson, dated July 15th., she says, among other things: "I have boosted your Fair lots and in all papers I am mentioned to rope in Walla Walla this year. I will de fend my title against any woman on earth at your fair and bet any part of $5000. It would be a shame to break the world's record this fall at Walla Walla. I do not like to attend it on account of the many boys who make their living and take such a pride in this work, but I believe I can rope and tie a steer in fifteen seconds ,in September. "Respectfully, "LUCILE MULHALL." Miss Hulhall and her company of cowboys and cowgirls and bucking horses are new headline features on the Pantages Vaudeville Circuit. At the "STAMPEDE" in Winnipeg last year, Miss Mulhall made the world's record in roping and tying a steer in 33 4-5 seconds. She also performs many clever tricks with the rope, and when it is taken into consideration that she works in a limited space on the vaudeville stage, her open air performance is all the more wonder ful. She presents not only a refined, realistac wild west act, but one that never fails to create admiration and applause from the grandstand. Special excursions will run from Caldwell to Walla Walla to the great west celebration, national fair, agri cultural and racing meet, which will make Frontier Days the most notable event of its kind ever held in the Northwest.
