ure. The work will include both
lectures and practical demonstrations.
Instruction in poultry and dairy
work will occupy the entire time for

Convention Of Co-operators.

The Washington state Cooperative
Union held its fourth annual con-
vention in the Labor Temple, Seattle,
January 10th and 18th. The object
of this organization is for co-operators
throughout the state to consult to-
gether and devise ways and means for
developing cooperation on uniform
business lines, arranging for dis
tributing literature containing in
formation on cooperation, assisting
those seeking to organize Cooperative
Associations, and also to unite buying
and selling as far as is practicable.
While the attendance at this con-
ventiou was not as large as it should
have been, nevertheless, very in
terestlng and profitable session was
held which will undoubtedly bear
fruit.
The committee on legislation ap-
pointed by the previous convention
of this organization rendered it's re-
port recommending that the conven-
ton advocate the adoption intact by
the Washington State legislature of
the Wisconsin State Cooperative
law. After considerable discussion
resulting in two minor changes being
deemed advisable; namely, eight per
cent in place of six per cent interest

of Demonstration Farms, for the
State College, on orchard manage
ment; Mr.. G. j. Stuart, of Monroe,
a very successful small fruit grower,
on the care and management of small
fruits.
The domestic science work will be
in charge of Miss Berry, head of the
Domestic Science Department at
Pullman.
Mr.. Fl. L. Blanchard, in charge of
dairy and poultry work at the West
ern Washington Experiment Station,
will give the instruction in poultry

instruction in dairying.
Instruction in soil management and
crop production will be given by Mr..
L. J. Chaplin, Agronomist Of the
Western Washington Experiment
Station, and Geo. Severance, Super
intenent of the Western Washington
Experiment Station.
The State College provides the in
structors, but to meet the local ex-
penses, season tickets, admitting to
any part or all of the two weeks
work will be sold at $3.50 each for
men; so cents for women and 25 cents
for public school students.
The instruction will be high grade
and it will be we'll worth while for
any person interested in the subjects
mentioned to attend. The advantages
gained from contact with the more
enterprising fellow workers in the
various lines and an exchange of
ideas is we'll worth the time and ex-
pense involved, to say nothing of the
value of the instruction received.
The citizens of Puyallup are prepar-
ing to take care of all students at a
reasonable price for board and Iodg-
ing.

being allowed on capital Invested, and
requiring that sixty per cent of the
capital stock be subscribed, the con-
vention went on record as unanimous
ly recommending that we advocate
and work for the adoption of such
cooperative law in the State of Wash
ington.
A very interesting and compre
hensive paper on the Wisconsin State
Cooperative Law was received from
Mr.. r. e. Bush, editor of the Co.
operative Journal published at Oak
land California, the writer being
unable to be present in person.
Earnest discussion of cooperation
in all OF it's phases, and now best to
promote and encourage it, was par
ticipated in by all present.
Another important matter that was
taken up was the ACCESSIBILITY of the
various cooperative stores already
established in Western Washington
commencing to buy collectively some
staples with a view to ultimately
establishing a cooperative wholesale.
The state managers of the Right
Relationship League stated in this
connection that they were prepared
TO furnish the services of competent
man to do such buying on a small
commission basis whenever ten or
fifteen stores would agree to enter
into such a proposition. From pre-
sent appearances it seems likely that
move of this kind will be made
within the near future.
The following officers and COM
mittees we're elected to serve for the
ensuing year:
President, T. M. Void, manager Of
the Stanwood Peoples Union; vice
president, N. P. Sorenson, of the
Laurel Creamery Association of
Bellingham; secretary treasurer, A.
Wardall, state manager of the Right
Relationship League; committee on
legislation, A. Wardall, j. ID. Dean,
e. J. Davis; committee on publicity,
Joseph Gilbert, N. z. Sorensen and
w. Ell. Paulhamus.
The meeting adjourned to meet on
the second Thursday in January 1913
at such place as the officers may de-
termine upon.

that the cord is cut, look upon Grace
as little better than a dead man all

From these facts it will be gathered
that Grace's condition has changed
