BENEFITS OF COLD STORAGE
Equalizes Values OF Food Products
and Regulates Supply to Conform
to the Demand.
(By H M. HASTINGS

Cold storage is an evil only when
controlled by dishonest men. Prop
erly conducted under lawful safe
guards against the devices Of IN
scrupu1ous spectators it equalizes
values of food products to the consum-
er, regulates the supply to conform to
the demand, providesza steady market
and consequently larger profit to the
producer and greater satisfaction to
the consumer.
Cooperation among farmers, Il
widely extended and wisely managed,
would do the same thing. It would
prevent the rushing of crops to mar
ket when prices are low, provide cap
ita1 to hold them, prevent ruinous
competition, reduce the cost Of selling
and prevent losses through middle
men
Cooperation among farmers has
made less Roadway in the United
States than In other countries. The
two chief examples Of its success here
are Che fruit trade Of California and
the cooperative creameries, Of which
some 1900 are in operation at the
present writing. To the writer's per-
sonal knowledge there is only one
farmers cooperative egg-marketing
association in existence in the United
States, and that has been kept up
more from desire to adhere to prln-
ciple than because the members Were
financially reimbursed for their extra
trouble.
About one-half the egg business OF
Denmark is handled by cooperative
egg-export societies, which proves
that such a method of egg marketing
can be successfully carried on. The
other half Of the Danish egg trade Is
handled by private dealers, who are
equally severe in rejecting bad eggs
and maintaining the quality, from
which we may judge that the system
of egg handling by private dealers is
also capable Of putting out higf
| grade Of eggs.
The loss in this country due TO the
| actual spelling of eggs constitutes al
enormous waste, which could in {
large measure be saved were eggs
given reasonable care from the time
of laying until they reached the con
| sumer.

MUCH WASTE Is ELIMINATED
Cooperation Among Fruit Growers oi
California Saves Much OF Crop
and Reduces Price.

OF all foods, fruit Is the most nat
ural wholesome and refined. The ap
peal it makes is not alone to appetite
but to taste, smell and the sense Of
beauty as well. One would imagine
then, that fruit should be Of all things
the easiest to market, and therefore
the most profitable to cultivate.
That the real conditions should any
where be the reverse Of this affords
one Of the most striking illustrations
OF the fact that present methods OF
collecting and distributing the prod
ucts of the soil are-except In few
instances Of recent improyement-als
together askeW and out Of harmony
with common sense.
Every year, while in the centers OF
population fruit of all kinds com
mands enormous prices, millions OF
dollars worth perish on the farms
where grown.
By that, by cooperative endeavor,
all difficulties may be overcome, and
fruit brought within the reach of con.
sumers at prices which the multitude
can afford, and yet high enough to
yield good returns to the grower, is
being demonstrated by the successes
attending the operations of fruit
growers associations already organ
lied.
Conspicuous among these is the
California Fruit Growers Exchange
| (formed twenty-three years ago)
| which now represents 5000 growers
and which handles so per cent Of the
| citrus fruits grown in California, anc
handles it in such a way that both
| waste at home and over-stocked mar
kets at the points Of distribution are
alike practically eliminated.
Smaller but similar associations
handle about rs per cent more of the
California crop, leaving only 10 pei
cent to be marketed by individuals.
The establishment Of organization
| Of similar character in the middle
/ west would eliminate much OF thu
waste and loss which occurs annual!

DETECTIVE M,oUILLAN's STORY

I was sitting in my office late one
afternoon when a messenger called
and said that a detective was wanted
at the Office Of Wells, Fargo & Co. for
special business. When I got to the
express Office was told what seemed
to me to be a very fshy story about
an attack that was going to be made
upon the Red Star money car.
The tip that the robbery was going
to come off had been given to the
company by Ike Thompson, who went
by the name of Pop one of the
best agents in the express car service,
! but T thought that there must be
mistake in it somewhere. His story
was that while he was in Chicago on
one Of the regular trips he went to the
house Of his sister-in-law, and when
he left he was accosted by fellow
whom he had known in Jersey City
as Luke Sanderson, one Of the work
men in the Erie Railroad shops.
In some way or other Sanderson had
got the idea that the woman Thomp-
son had called upon was his wife. San
derson knew that Thompson was mar
ried and had a family in Lafayette,
N. Y, and he took pains to suggest
to Thompson that it would go very
hard with him if the company should
learn that he was not living on the
level, as he was earning hardly enough
money legitimately to run two homes.
Thompson did not stumble to what
Sanderson was driving at until they
were on the way back to Jersey City,
going with an empty money car, when
Sanderson suggested that there was an
easier way to make fortune than
working for it.
Thompson is very foxy fellow, and
determined to lead ,sanderson on with
the belief that he was ready to go into
anything that would pay big. money,
and he managed his part of the affair
SO well that sanderson never dropped
TO the fact that he was being joalied-
/ was not sent for until several
says or weeks aftesward, as Thompson

Pull Together.

We must have a new type of CO
operation, not Of the farmer against
the merchant and the banker, nor Of
these against the farmer and against
each other, but Of all working togeth-
er as unit for the upbuilding of the
community where all reside, and
where the success Of each means the
success of all. The farmer cannot get
along without the merchant; the
banker canot thrive unless the farmer
does veil; the merchant needs more
people to feed and clothe that his
profits may increase. Mutually they
need each other: then why longer
pull apart?
