PULLMAN, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY; DECEMBER 10, 1920
GAINING MOMENTUM
The plan of pooling their wheat
and selling it through a uon-capital,
non-profit co-operative marketing as
sociation is rapidly gaining momen
tum among the growers of the Pa
cific North
The Washington and Idaho Wheat
Growers associations now have over
2400 members who bVve signed up
over 8,000,000 bushels and contracts
are comb in so rapidly that there
appears to be no doubt Ibe 15,000,
--(too bushels will be signed up b\
March Ist. when the campaign for
securing this minimum per cent of
the crops of Washington, Idaho and
Oregon will close.
No attempt has been made as ye!
to secure contracts in Oregon, but
plans are being worked out to start
a membership drive in that stale
which will probably result in a sign
up of several million bushels.
Now that over half of the required
amount has been signed up, the
work of securing contracts is becom
ing much easier. The movement la
working like a snow hall, the bigger
it grows the faster it grows. The
2400 members who are now pushing
the campaign can naturally give It
far greater impetus than tie- 25 who
started it, or the 500 who first
joined. The sign-up keeps Increas
ing in proportion to the growing
membership.
The movement is also extending
to other localities. An influential
group of farmers in Montana have
adopted the plan and form of con
tract and have started a campaign
to sign up a minimum of 10 per cent
ot the wheat produced in that state.
It is also reported that the organ
ised farmers of Canada have adopt
ed the basic principles of the plan
and are preparing to pool their
wheat for a term of five years.
The application of the system In
the marketing of several million
bushels of wheat of the 1920 crop,
which was entrusted to the associ
ations to handle, appears to he work
ing out satisfactorily, In all sales
thus far made the associations have
secured from 10 to 26 cents per
bushel more than the individual
farmers could have secured at the
same places on the same dates.
When the associations become
firmly established and have suffici
ent wheat signed up to justify the
maintenance of expert representa
tives in all the wheat producing
countries and at the grain market
ing centers, to report on the supply
and demand and market, conditions,
the sales manager, with this in
formation at his disposal, will ob
viously be in a far better position to
sell to still better advantage, Then
he will know what the wheat is
worth, and when and where the best
prices can be secured.
At present the farmers are simply
guessing as to what the market wil<
be from day to day, Tiny do not

A DANGEROUS FLOOD
Ob Hanson, former mayor of Be
attle, back from a tour of England,
France, Sweden, Germany, Poland
and Denmark, says the United States
will be overrun by immigrants if
prompt steps are not taken to check
the Invasion. At Warsaw. Poland,
thousands stand in line before th.'
American consulate, it seems that
everybody in every country where
conditions are bad is trying to get to
the United States. As Ole puts it,
"Europe proposes to use us as a
Christmas tree. and. with the present
unemployment, we are adding fuel to
a dangerous situation."
Transatlantic steamship men con
firm these warnings. They inform
Frederick A. Wallis. commissioner of
immigration at Ellis island, that
every seaport along the western and
southern coast of Europe is crowded
with prospective immigrants who, in
their eagerness to come to the United
States, have sold everything they pos
sessed. Five million Germans and
Austrians want to sail for America
as soon as the United Slates makes
peace with their governments. "It
would amaze one to know," declares
Commissioner Wallis. "that one
Office had 311,000 applications for
passports."
All records for immigration have
recently been broken. The national
civic fedaration, in a questionnaire
to governors of several states, says
i; seems probable that from July,
1920, to July, 1921, not less than
,000,000 Immigrants will be re
ceived. The civic federation sug
gests that the whole question should
be Investigated at once, with refer
ence in prompt action by congress
nnd the executive.
So alarming is the prospect that
sentiment Is growing among mem
bers of congress in favor of the
speedy adoption of an absolute ex
clusion law that will temporarily bar
the gates against ail immigration,
until congress can give the difficult
problem more careful consideration
with a view to passing an effective
sifting law.
it is the character of the prospec
live immigration, even more than its
numbers, that gives grave concern.
Mr, Hanson says they will stick in
the cities, that very few of them
have any thought of going out- to
find land or seek employment on the
farms.
There is such unanimity of warn
ings, from our consular agents am
newspaper correspondents, from Red
Cross and other relief workers, am;
from returning citizens who have
traveled through European countries,
that the problem will certainly be
taken up promptly on the convening
of congress.—Spokesman-Review.
nil CHRISTMAS CLUB IDEA
The Christmas club idea has in re
cent years become a new feature In
banking. It is merely a systematic
method of saving money, begun
around the holiday period. This is
the time when nearly everyone feels
most the need of money. This i.
the period of making new resolu
tion. The plan >< simple. You mere
ly go Into the bank where you will
receive free of charge an attractive
little Christmas club banking book.
The pages of this book* show you how
you can start a bank account with
only 1 ct., 2 Cts., 5 Cts. or 10 cts.,
and increase your deposits with
these same amounts, I ct., i' cts.,
5 cts. or 10 cts. each week. At the,
end of 50 weeks, the 1 ct. club pays
$12.75, the 2 ct. club pays $25.50,
the 5 cts. club pays $63.75 and the
10 cts. club pays $127.50. It i
really amazing to anyone to see how 1
rapidly money will accumulate under
this plan.
The bank offers also an opportun
ity to those who wish to put in an
oven amount each week, 25 cts., 50
cts., $1.00, $2.00, $5.00, $10.00.
$20.00 or more for a period of 50
weeks.
At the end of this period, next De
cember, the club member can draw
out a part or all of this Christmas
club money or let a part or all of it
stay in the bank to start a regular
savings account.
The great big thought in the i
Christmas club plan is that you start
out with the idea of accomplishing
something—of saving your money
regularly.
Life is habit: and the banking
habit is perhaps the best habit any;
man or woman, boy or girl can form.
Praise is certainly due to the Pull
man State bank for offering an op
portunity for every person in our!
community to form the habit of
economy and thrift. As each year
goes by, the number of members of!
the Christmas club increases, as
those who join and receive a notice
that they have money to their credit
at Christmas time, tell their friends
about their prosperity.
We commend the Christmas club
idea and trust, as is sure to be case,
that the Pullman State bank will
have a very large membership in the!
Christmas club they are now form-]
