Near the end of whirlwind campaign
tho prohibition forces OF this town de-
clare that the dispensary will be

servattve opinion. however, is that
tile dispensary may lose by mar

Summer Vacation
How to Spend 1t

Did it ever occur to you that summe r vacation of many young people is worse than wasted-all sorts of parties, late hours, doubtful company, irregular hab- it's that undermine the health.
 Most young people would rather spend their summer at something that will en- able them to earn two dollars, where they could not have earned one than be tripping" around over the country growing up like rag weed.
 Rest is simply change of work. By taking business, shorthand or civil service course in some good school like the San Bernardino Business College, where one can study all summer in nice airy rooms under electric fans, young people can be prepared to pass the fall civil service examinations or accept a good position when the busy season opens. This means year the start in life's race.
 Our young people interested in per- sonal improvement or civil service work should write for the May number of the San Bernardino Business College Jour. nal, San Bernardino, Calf.

most friendly relations with the leglt- mate business interests of the country and they with it. Indeed the society has fully proven Its friendliness by op- ening its doors 10 business men, invlt- Ing them to membership, welcoming them to Its councils and working hand in hand with them in building up home interests. The Society of Equity has no secrets from the world; Its proposi- lions are plain business ones. Its sue cess makes farmers better off financial ly. increases their ambitions, refines their tastes, multIpies their wants, gives them the ability to satisfy them and this makes them more abundant purchasers.
 The merchant. therefore, or profess sional man, or anybody who is un- friendly to the society Is too narrow in his views and selfish in his actions and he is blocking the path to his own best interests. In many localities the busi- ness and professional men understand this and have become members of the society and are helping to lead 1t on to maturity and to success. In others they give 1t every assistance by coun- sel and good words.
 In such localities 1t takes emnently the proper form-that of pure mutuali- ty of interests, leading to "equity in all the business relations of life." And so may it be in every locality.

so as to meet organization With organ lzaton, they very naturally looked no no further than to the business men they knew for the source of their trou- ble. The idea did not occur to them that the prices of their own products might be too low and unfairly and i'm properly made. They had been taught all their lives as they yet are taught by many whose reason for such teaching Is incomprehensiole, that the prices of farm products are mad at the toun- tain head of trade in accordance with some mysterious law, and, therefore, they must be right-at least that they were irevocable. Hence it there was a lack of equity, an unfairness In Pri- ces, the farmers at that time conclud- ed 1t must be In the prices they were required to pay.
 Their efforts were therefore, directed to reduction of retailers prices. Where merchants were stubborn or could see no place for reduction of prices the organized farmers formed companies and established stores of their own In opposition to the local trade. Some of these stores made credltabe success, but most of them were miserable failures.
 This theory and action on the part of the farmers inevitably created antag- onism between organized farmers and business men. So bitter became this antagonism that business interests still hold to it and whenever farm organiza- ton is suggested to local merchants, or even to the wholesale trade, 1t is at once concluded that an enemy to them is being built up and they vigorously oppose it.
 But this Is not true of the American Society of Equity. This organization is unlike any other farm organization In that it Is built on an entirely different foundation, erected upon different theory and aims to an entirely different accomplishment-equity in all the business relations of life.
 This society holds that the prices of farm products are the ones that are ar bitrarily and unfairly made, that while supply and demand each have a limit and their relationship varies, the ad- justment of the proportion between the two constitute the law of supply and demand, but that in making the prices In the ordinary speculative way, as published in the market reports. these principles are wholly ignored and pr- ces are made that will best serve the purpose and profits of spectators who buy cheap to sell high.
 Taking this view of the business sit uatloa 1t is emnently the province of the Society of Equity to Wrest farm products from the hurtful hands of speculation and gambling and give them greater permanency in price and more equitable adjustment. This price may be higher and Ii may be lower than sometimes made by the specula- tive forces, but it will always be re- muneratlve to the producers because the profits revert to them instead of flowing into the coffers of those "Who toll not, neither do they spin and yet be no more costly to consumers.
