Cooperation Among Farmers

Z. Hollenbeek writes in the Farm
and Fireside:
Farm cooperation in Europe
arose as a self-protective measure
against the usury of the money
lenders whose exactions from the
peasantry are quite unparalleled in
the experience of the American
farmers.
In 1S45 one of those rare spirits
who feel keenly the woes of others
turned his attention to the wretch
ed financial condition of the Ger
man peasant. 1t 1S43 he became
burgomaster of thirty-three civil
divisions corresponding to our
townships, with a population OF
about 5000 small farmers, most Of
them desperately poor, and paying
something over 700 per cent tor
small loans on short time.
In 1S49 he organized among them
mutual aid society to protect the
needy cultivators. In 1854 he
founded similar union at He'd
desdorf, which existed until 1864.
In that year he founded the loan
fund union, based on experince
acquired in these preliminary
efforts. The fundamental ideas
were borrowing money from out
siders and loaning to members at q
Slight advance, the borrowed money
secured by unlimited liability o.
the union and of each member fol
the entire debt, slight expenses, Z
reserve fund and no dividends anc
no capital stock. The movement
spread rapidly, and today the Ger
man peasantry owe much of thei

freedom from usurious eXaction to
the life work of Raifeisen.
In 1850 another German,
Schultze-Delitzsch, took UP the
battle for the laborers and small
manufacturers who were as cruelty
used as were the peasants. The
central idea being democratic, aids
the individual in his contest with
organized capital So rapidly did
these credit unions increase that
the government was compelled to
enact an elaborate law for their
control in 1889.
By this law a credit union must
have at least seven members, and
women are eligible on the same
terms as men. A member may
resign, or be expelled but the
liability continues for eighteen
months. A board of two directors
and a council of supervisors with
extensive powers and strict ac-
countability, is elected by the So
ciety, a member having one vote.
The capital stock is in shares pur-
chased by members, This with
entrance fees becomes loan fund
Loans may be made to members
only and on solvency and with one
or more indorsers. The society
may hire money to loan its mem
bers and become liable as corpor-
alton for the debt, as also does each
of the members. This individual
liability for the society s debts is Of
two kinds, limited and unlimited
This, as are all other matters per
tanning to the union, is of public
record in the registrars office,

Office of advances in the price OF
land as much as twice after a pur-
chaser had been secured. This is not
good business nor common sense
and should be discontinued. A
spirit of candor should prevail and
it should be definitely made known

The above curtain lecture from

ETY. to this section, and property
owners are stumbling blocks IN the
way of development when they
persist in such methods.

John B. Hardwicke Dead.

Speaking Of the death of Jno- B.
Hardwicke. which occurred in Cor
pus Christi, June IA, of heart fail
ure, the Caller says:
When the hand of Death touch
es a frail mortal, his icy fingers
o5literate all faults and as we gaze
on the marble brow Of Our dead,
we often see virtues only dimly OBJ
served before.
John Hardwicke is dead, but
the writer who knew, loved and
respected him, views him as he
was in life. With all his frailties,
his innate nobility of soul and
honesty of purpose would scorn a
lying epitaph, and as his friend,
we write no word of him dead our
heart did not feel for him when
living.
OF those frailties it IS needless
to tell the world, for his life was
an open book, but only those who
knew him as did the writer, know
how he struggled and prayed for
strength to resist the demon he
knew was destroying him.
A less brave soul would have
long since given up the unequal
struggle and thrown himself on
the mercy of One who looks with
plying eye on a weak mortal in
the grasp of a foe too great for
him to resist.
John Hardwicke did not fear to
meet his Maker. The christian
training of his youth taught him
the Way, and in the illness of the
past few weeks, when he had full
warning of the approach of death,
who can doubt that the prayers of
an aged mother and christian wife
were answered, and they can look
forward to a joyful reunion beyond
the skies?
The press of Texas had few
ADLER members than John Hard
wicke. He was an ideal news
paper man and loved his profession
which, with his great ability,
would have given him a high
place in the journalistic world,
under more favorable circum-
stances.
To his aged mother who must
soon join him, ard the faithful
wife who has so nobly stood by
and cheered him in his every for
tune, The Caller extends heartfelt
sympathy. To his two almost in
FAINT boys. too young to realize
their great loss, we would say,
Your father nature was noble
one-never in future life will you
have cause to blush for the nature
of John B. Hardwicke."
THE HERALD extends sincere
sympathy to the surviving rela-
tives and friends.

The unions are subject to rigid in
spection by state officials.
At the end of forty years these
unions numbered about 1000, with
a membership of hundreds of thou
ands. The capital and loans were
counted by hundred millions, a
business comparing favorably with
that of the banks of France, Eng
land or Germany. And best of all.
this loaning of their own money to
themselves had reduced the inter
est rate from a possible several
hundred per down to and 6 per
cent. 1t encouraged habits of in
dustry, thrift, business skill, self
respect, hope and freedom from
the tyranny and greed of petty
capital power. And the movement
spreadito other lands.
So much the world owes to the
constructive genius of Raiffeisen
and Schultze-Delitzsch. Besides
their achievements the blood stain
ed heroes of destructive war are
paltry. Yet so blind is man that
heroes are exalted and benefactors

BACKWARD ATTHE OLD BLUE LAW

The blue laws were statutes enact
ed by the people of the Dominion of
New Haven. They became known as
the blue laws because they were print
ed on blue paper. Briefly they were
as follows: The governor and magis
trates convened in general assembly
are the supreme power, under God,
of the Independent dominion. From
the determination Of the assembly, no
appeal shall be made. No one shall
be a freeman or have vote unless
he Is converted and a member Of one
Of the churches allowed in the do
minion.
Each freeman shall swear by the
blessed God to bear true allegiance to
this dominion and that Jesus is the
only king. No dissenter from the es-
sential worship of this dominion shall
be allowed to give a vote for electing
| of magistrates or any officer. No
food or lodging shall be allowed to
n hereto. No one shall cross a river
on the Sabbath but authorized cler-
gymen.
No one shall travel, cook victuals,
make beds, sweep houses cut hair or
shave on the Sabbath day. No one
shall kiss his or her children on the
Sabbath or feasting days. The Sab
bath day shall begin at sunset Satur-
day. Whoever wears clothes trimmed
with gold, silver or bone lace above
shilling a yard shall be presented
by the grand jurors and the selectmen
shall tax the estate $500. Whoever
brings cards or dice into the dominion
shall pay fine of $25. No one shall
eat mince pies, dance, play cards or
play any instrument Of music except
the drum, trumpet or jewsharp.
No gospel minister shall join people
in marriage. The magistrate may
join them, as he may do It with less
scandal to Christ's church. When
parents refuse their children conven-
lent marriages the magistrate shall
determine the point.
A man who strikes his wife shall
be fined $50. A woman who strikes

Change. From Fish to Bird.

Changes From n Fish 10 n bird.
The story of the early life, transfer
nation and final death of the Chinese
quail is the most remarkable that is
found In the ornithological literature Of
the world. The narrative In all its un-
reasonableness Is found in the story Of
ON chung, which is the name the Chi
nese quail is known by when at home
In the Flowery Kingdom. Celestial au-
thorities on bird lore declare that no
specimen OF ON chung was ever known
to live year; that they do not lay
eggs, as all other known species Of
birds do. and, finally, that their pro
genitor is slimy, four jointed worm,
which has a red head and a sting on
the end Of its tail. This queer seacoast
worm, according to the curious legend
Of ON chung. lays 100 eggs annually.
Fifty OF these become fish and the 9TH
or fifty are worms Of the same species
as the parent The fish that has come
into existence IN this curious manner
also lays 100 eggs a year. Fifty of
these become water denizens after the
image Of their parent, and the others
become birds OF the famed ON chung
family. These ON chungs, or Chinese
Quails, never breed, and are only
brought into existence as above related
We give the above not as literal fact,
but as a specimen of the Chinese idea
Of evolution.

OREGON DAIRY BUSINESS.
Value of Dairy Products in the State
s2.25O,OOO.

The annual report of ]. W. Bailey,
state dairy and food commissioner.
will show that Oregon's dairy products
for 1905 increased in value more than
s2,25O.OOO over the dairy products of
the previous year. Instead of import
ing butter from Nebraska, Oregon is
now shipping butter to the eastern
states.
There are now 2S7 creameries in
Oregon, making 6,750,000 pounds Of
butter annually. The product last
year was valued at upwards of ST.
100000, an increase Of nearly 40 per
cent over the value Of the previous
years product.
A milk condensing industry has
sprung up in addition that is turning
out $4,000 product annually.
Cheese is being manufactured at 124
.chese factories throughout western
Oregon.
Tillamook and Coos counties are the
principal fields for cheesemakers.
There were 100000 pounds turned
out last year, valued at II cents per
pound, and netting the producers
about 100000.
Commissioner Bailey expresses the
opinion that the total value of the
dairy product Of Oregon for 1905 will
reach nearly s1O,000,o00. He said the
Oregon dairyman gets an average OF
four or five cents a pound more for
his butter than Is secured by the ILL
nois dairyman.
Reasons for this difference in favor
of Oregon are not difficult to assign
II is known that the heavy demand
from the shipping interests Of the port
consumes a large amount OF butter
The coastwise and Alaska trade buys
butter. There is a constantly increas.
ing demand from the towns and cities
which are growing faster than th'
rural districts are developing.
The large majority Of new people
here settled in the towns, while bu
comparatively few enter the buttei
producing industry. The result is {
constantly pressing need for NOR
butter than is being produced In Ore
gon, and the higher price here is OBJ
tanned because Of the time and none.

IMPROPER MARRIAGES,
Umatilla County Court and Health
Board Hope Chicago Movement
Reaches Umatilla COunty-Many Of
the Most Pitiable Cases OF Charity
Caused by Sicl>ly or Mismated Par
cnts.

Members of the Umatilla county
court and health board are hoping
that the movement just started in
Chicago to prevent the marriage of
crippled, sickly and insane people may
reach Umatilla county.
A large proportion of the inmates
Of the poor house, insane asylum and
other such institutions, it is alleged,
are able to trace their misfortune dt-
rectly to mismated, ill-mated or un-
healthy parents. Many of the most
ptiable cases of need found by the
county court are cases in which sick
ly parents have died leaving weakling
and idiotic children upon the charity
Of the community.
A dispatch from Chicago says con-
cerning the movement to stop the
mating of improper and unfit persons:
Wedding bells will ring only for
those happy young people who sue
ceed in passing state inspection
test, If the ideas of the American
Stockbreeders association are carried
out.
The association has turned for the
moment from the consideration of
cattle and sheep and hogs to the cul-
ture of humans, and il will be the ul-
innate business of the committee of
eugenics, just appointed, to keep an
eye out for ill-mated pairs. \ mar
riage censorship may result if the in
spection idea proves practicable.
Prof. Charles r. Henderson, of the
University of Chicago sociology de-
partment, is q member of the COM
mittee of which DR.. Alexander Gra-
ham Bell is chairman. Other men,
bers appointed by Secretary William
NJ. Hayes of the stockbreeder's asso-
citation, are DR.. Charles Woodruff, c.
w. Ward of New York, and Rev. ].
f. Gilbert of Washington. To i'm
prove the quality of humans is to be
the task of the eugenics experts.
The immediate object of the COM
mittee as explained yesterday by Pro
fessor Henderson is to spread infor
nation in regard to the i'll effects o
the marriages of defective persons
including "imbeciles, idiots and fee
BILE minded" Insane persons, con
firmed drunkards and moral degener
ates are to be restrained in colonie

We cannot help living in some degree
the lives Of heroes who are constantly
In our minds. Our characters are con-
stantly being modified, shaped and
nodded by the suggestions which are
thus held. The most helpful life sto-
ries for the average youth are not the
meteoric ones, the unaccountable ones,
the astonishing ones, like those OF Ma
poleon, Oliver Cromwell and Julius
Caesar. The great stars of the race
dazzle most boys. They admire, but
they do not feel that they can initiate
them. They like to read their lives,
but they do not get the helpfulness and
the encouragement from them that
they do from reading the lives Of those
who have not startled the world so
much. II is the triumph of the or
dinary ability which is most helpful as
an inspiration and encouragement.

The bulldog is a menace to health.

because of his large mouth the bull
dog is q great purveyor Of disease, es-

and the like, as the dribbling from the
heavy, loose jaws is incessant Those
who fondle bulldogs do 80 at great
risk. He traces many cases Of in
fectious disease, especially among
young children, to households in which
bulldogs are kept as pets. When VIC
add to this the lnvariable ferocity oi
the beast, the danger to which children
and other innocent and defenseless
people are exposed whenever he roami
the streets or highways, we have ar
argument In favor Of his disposal tha'
cannot be gainsaid. Away with bull
