COOPERATION in RURAL LIFE
Governor of Oregon Has Appointed a
Commission Which Seems to
Promise Good Results.

The governor of Oregon has appoint
ed Rural Life Commission" Of Is
members, four OF them women. Its
slogan Is cooperation, which at the
very outset is applied to good roads,
betterment In housing, Improvement
in in farm products and marketing,
better teachers and increased pay for
them, one church for one community,
and lot of things which would not
be attempted by the individual. For
example: Many farms have running
water in the barn to save the labor
of men, and none in the house for the
convenience of women. This is to be
remedied. Hereafter, by the plan, all
farmers shall raise the same products,
SO that the middlemen will come to
the community instead of the farmer
going to the market with only his own
wares. There will be uniformity of
price, saving in freight and advertis,
Ing, and prompt payment for goods.
In our village there were two
churches on opposite corners, and a
school and grange hall similarly sit
uated. 1t is proposed to close both
churches, using one for neighbor-
hood home, with gymnasium, library,
etc, and using the grange hall for
preaching, Sundays.
