The state armory has been se
cured for the big farmers Chautau
qua at Spokane June 23-24. Indica
tions are that the attendance will
| surpass any previous mass meeting of
producers in the Inland Empire. The
Chautauqua at Yakima June 22-23
Is also attracting widespread inter
est in its locality. The list of speak
ers, all of national reputation, aud
the subjects which they will discuss
are as follows:
'. Aaron Sapiro will speak on "Co
operative Marketing."
' Aaron Sapiro was born in the city
'Of San Francisco, 36 years ago. He
made his own way through the pub
lic schools of that city, while at the
same time supporting a widowed
mother. He not only educated him
self through the public schools and
colleges of that state, but by his
sheer ability he put his brother
through school. As a boy of eight
I Ur. Sapiro sold papers in the streets
of San Francisco to maintain himself
I and mother. He Is a self-made man,
and knows the problems of adversity.
When he started in the law busi
ness he felt that the farmers of Cali
fornia would be his greatest clients
and he therefore started his studies
in co-operative law; he soon found,
however, that he could not be a first
class co-operative lawyer unless he
'understood corporation law, and he
has combined these two practices.
Mr. Sapiro and his firm do not accept
any work excepting in these lines;
they will not accept criminal, per
, sonal injury or divorce cases.
It was through Mr. Sapiro's abil
ity as adviser that many thousands
. of farmers in California have found
their way to true co-operative mar
keting of farm products. The suc
cess of the California co-operative
organizations reads like a fairy tale,
and:to Aaron Sapiro more than to
My other man is due the plan ana
method of their organization and op
eration. The farmers of California
nad tried various plans of organiza
tion and co-operation, but their ef
forts had been limited to local units
• ot organization which were neces
•arily in competition with one anoth
er, and It was for Mr. Sapiro to plan
out a state-wide co-operative organl
»t!on that has lifted the farmers of
California out of adversity into pros
perity, and today Aaron Sapiro is
■considered to be one.of the greatest
i authorities on co-operative law and
'■^operative organization in the
j™Ked States, if not in the world.
He has given to the world a new idea
, •?<* no doubt his work will go down
.to history, and the generations in
rears to come will read of Aaron Sa
''ro 0 f San Francisco doing for the
formers of California and the nation
*at Francis J. Heney did for the
common people of San Francisco and
„the United States.
V H. W. Wood of Calgary, Canada,
, -*'H explain the co-operative effort
■°f tQe Canadian farmers and its re
mits.
v^H. W. Wood was born in the state
* Missouri on a farm, where he lived
Y e heater part of his life. How
*'. in lboß he decided that the
,;:.-. tern prairies of Canada offered
heater opportunities for a free and
an'ramm.-led life than did Missouri,
I*, making up his mind to cast his
;£ to the neighboring country
Yros» the international boundary
t **, he migrated to the Province of
t^* I?*'1?*' where; he bought land and
-ck «P a homestead. Through his
Optional ability, as a deep thinker
iv- ?:°Perative and economic sub
.... **** 'among the farmers, he soon
nn himself the l.»ader among his
neighbors in Alberta. The farmers
of Canada were looking for on out
let for their wheat, and they were
also looking for a method of co-oper
ation whereby their products might
be handled more economically and
with 1 bs profit between the produc
er and consumer. Mr. Wood was
made president of the United Farm
ers of Alberta, where he grew in in
fluence and recognition from the
very moment when he wca placed in
a responsible position.
When tho time arrive! that the
prairie farmers of the western prov
inces of Canada felt that their or
ganization should be ledcrated, Mr.
Wood was again placed at the head
of a very Influential organization,—
he wai made president of the Ca
nadian Council of Agriculture, which
is a federation of the various farm
organizations in Canada. Mr. Wood
still grew in recognition and influ
ence, and in 1919 when Canada de
cided to cr-ate a National Wheat
Board through which all tha wheat
crop of Canada should be marketed,
Mr. Wood was placed on this board
as a representative of the farmers of
the Dominion of Canada, where he
rendered a service to the farmers of
that country which is unequalled in
any country in the world.
Through the Canadian Wheat
Boaru a net profit was created above
the guaranteed price of wheat tn
Canada, last year, of more than $70,
--000,000. The farmers of Canada
have a right to be very grateful for
the services of such a man as Mr.
Wood, and no doubt the splendid
profit created through the Wheat
Board, which averaged every farmer
in Canada $2.55 per bushel for the
1919 wheat crop at their principal
terminals, will ring around the world
as being the most far-reaching and
far-sighted policy on behalf of the
farmers of the nation of any action
ever taken by a governmental organi
zation.
Hon. T. H. Caraway of Arkansas
will discuss "The Farmer's Part in
Politics."
Hon. T. H. Caraway, congressman
from the stato of Arkansas, was
born on a farm in that state, and at
tended the common schools of that
commonwealth, but when he became
a man his ability shone out above
the average of his fellow citizens.
Through his friendly interest in the
farmers of his state ho was sent to
congress. Mr. Caraway is considered
a real friend of the farmers of the
nation and he is given the credit of
being the "funniest" man in the
house of representatives.
Mr. Caraway's address will be
pleasing and instructive; -he has a
wonderful faculty for entertainment
as well as ability In presenting food
for thought. Every farmer who hears
him will want to hear him again.
His speech will be worth going many
miles to hear. Mr. Caraway is now
a candidate for the U. S. senate, from
the state of Arkansas, and without
question will be elected to that high
and responsible position. The farm
ers of the Northwest should form the
acquaintance of such a man, because
he will be in a position to render the
farmers a very great service.
J. R. Howard of Ames, lowa, will
speak on "Making Permanent Agri
culture In America."
J. R. Howard was born on a Mar
shall county, lowa, farm, and has
been a farmer practically all his life.
In his early career he acquired some
banking interests and was cashier of
a bank in lowa for a while, but his
principal business is and has always
beon' in farms and farm lands. Mr.
THE PULLMAN HERALD
Howard attended college as a class
mate of Governor Lowden of Illinois.
He has always been interested in co
operation and farm organization
work, and when the American Farm
Bureau Federation was organized in
November, 1919, Mr. Howard was se
lected to head one of the biggest
farmers' movements in America. The
Americas Farm Bureau Federation
has a membership of almost one mil
lion members.
Nearly every farmer in the North
west is watching and viewing the ac
tions of ihe American Farm Bureau
Federation, and for this reason every
farmer should come and get ac
quainted with Mr. Howard.
The speeches made by these dis
tinguished farm organization men
will be national and international in
their scope and world-wide in their
influence, but the far-reaching In
fluence of this Chautauqua will be
measured ley the degree In which the
farmers of the Northwest support it.
Miss Hester E. Hosford of Cleve
land, Ohio, Will take as her subject
"The Parmer as a Factor in Eco
nomic Progress."
Miss Hostord began her public ca
reer eight years ago, at the age of 1
24, by writing a volume on "The
Public Policies of Woodrow Wilson."
This booh was extensively read in
this country and England, and later
translated Into French, and was tot
lowed by other works on economic
subjects.
Miss Hosford was a member of the
lecture staff on the Santa Fe rail
road in 1916, and has spoken on
Chautauqua platforms in practically
all the eastern and middie western
states. She has crossed the conti
nent 12 times on lecture tours. Dur
ing the war she spent a year in
France end Germany. Her work
there Won her personal recognition
from General Pershing, from whom
she has credentials. During the past
winter she has been in Washington,
l). C, giving her attention to the in
terests of farmers and soldiers, in
pending legislation; in addition she
is acting as a staff editorial writer
for the New York American.
She is an earnest, logical and con
vincing speaker, and has the rare
faculty of entertaining and instruct
ing her audiences without tiring
them. She amply proves the claim
that she is the most eloquent woman
orator in America.
Miss Mary P. McCallum of Winni
peg, Canada, will discuss "Woman's
Place in the Organized Farmers'
Movement of 1920."
Miss McCallum was born on a
Manitoba farm, about 28 years ago.
She taught In the rural schools a
number of years and then entered
newspaper work. Her first experi
ence was on a daily paper, where she
served well and admirably. After
getting considerable experience in
this line of work she associated her
self with Canada's greatest farm
journal, "The Grain Growers
Guide," which is the official organ
of the farmers of western Canada.
Her work as associate editor on this
paper has made her a part of the
farmers' movement in that country;'
it was largely through her influence
that women's part in social, political
and economic questions became na
tionalized, and to her is due large
credit for women being admitted to
full membership in the Canadian
Council of Agriculture.
.Miss McCallum has spoken to farm
women all over Canada. She ls
mighty well and favorably known,
and will have a message for the farm
women of the Pacific Northwest that
will be far reaching in its influence.
The women of the Northwest will
be especially pleased to hear Miss
McCallum. She has a wonderful de
livery and manner of speech, and the
farm women of this country will in
deed be interested in the part that
the farm women of Canada are play
ing in co-operative and organized
work. The farm women aro special
ly urged to come to these Chautau
quas.
Dr. W. J. Hindley of Spokane will
discuss "Chasing the Profiteer."
Dr. Hindley was born in Canada,
but came to the United States in his
early years and has been a resident
of the state of Washington for 17
years.
For years he has been known as j
one of the greatest pulpit orators in •
the Northwest. He was largely in
strumental in securing the commis
sion form of government for the city |
of Spokane, and was the first mayor.
of that city under this form of gov
ernment, serving in that capacity for
the four years of 1911 to 1914, in
clusive.
Since leaving this public work he
has been engaged largely in Chau
tauqua work in Canada and th-
United States and was connected
with the Lincoln Trust company of
Spokane for some time. *•
