Senate bill number forty three, intro
duced in the New Jersey legislature at
the instance of President Wilson when
governor, says that persons who "make
any agreement by which they directly
preclude a free and unrestricted com
petition among themselves in the sale
or transportation of any article OF com
modify, either by pooling, withholding
from the market or selling at a fixed
price, or in any other manner by which
the price might be Affected shall be
subject to three years Imprisonment
and a thousand dollar fine
Apparently this would hit all co oper-
ative associations among farmers for
the marketing of fruit and vegetables
Practically all such associations are
pools-all of them are entered into for
the express purpose of preventing com
petition among the members in the
selling of their produce; the primary
object of all Of them is to affect the
price.
In various instances these co-opera-
tive associations have been the farm
ers salvation. So long as they market
ed their fruit or vegetables competitive
", each grower acting for himself, they
got no return for their labor and in
vestment. 1t was only when they mar
keted through a cooperative pool that
they made any profit. At the same
time these cooperative associa IONS, in
nearly all cases, have raised the grade
of the fruit, introduced better pack
ages, and as a net result have increased
the price to the ultimate consumer very
little if at all.
The statute book may declare this to
be crime, but is it?-Saturday Even

WANT PURCHASING AGENT.
School Board Being Urged to Consider
New Plan for Future Work.

A purchasing agent for the board Of
education is the latest suggestion made
to the members of the board and the
question of electing such an official is
to be brought before the board at it's
next meeting. The plan is to elect
paid secretary Of the board and it will
not be necessary that he have mem
bership in the board. This employee
will give his or her entire time to the
work of the schools and will have
charge not only Of taking care of the
minutes of the board, but also of pur-
chasing all supplies to be used by the
schools of the city. 1t is thought that
with central purchasing agent much
better business methods could be Sc
cured for the school work.
Several candidates are already in
the field for the new position, but it
is just possible that The suggestion
will not meet with favor from the
board.

Fred responded by thanking the don.
ors and expressing the hope that he
might continue to merit their conf
