FARMERS ARE COOPERATING
Over Three Million Of TiIIers Of Soil
Have United In Many Helpful
Associations.

1t is a most gratifying fact. though
not generally known, that during the
past twelve years the cooperative
movement among farmers has grown
so rapidly that there are now $4,000
economic associations with a men,
bership considerably over 100000
There are but 100000 farms in cul-
tivation and in this number more than
one-half are represented in these CO.
operative associations. Among the
great number of cooperative associa-
lions are insurance companies against
fire, injury and death to live stock.
These insurance companies will not
have over 100000 stockholders.
For the most part they are well
managed and have accumulated a sur
plus which is large for safeguarding
of the interest of the stockholders
and for the payments Of losses.
The 100000 farmers in the Co
operative associations are bonded in
associations large and small for
economical manufacturing OF butter.
cheese-making, irrigation, the ware
housing of grain and cotton and the
building of telephone lines.
Perhaps the greatest benefit comes
from cooperation by selling. Sup
plies are bought wholesale at often
manufacturers prices and selling is
conducted through organizations
whose business methods are yearly
adding millions to the profits If the

RATES WILL BE LOWERED
As Soon as Mandate Is Received the Railroad Commission Will Act.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-A mandate from the Supreme Court of the United States is exsected soon by the Arkansas Rail- road Commission. This mandate dis, solves the injunction against the com mission which restrained that body from enforcing it's railroad tariffs
 As soon as this mandate is received the commission will proceed to place it's rates into effect, which will mean a 30 per cent reduction in freight rates.
 Concerning requests being made as to how to proceed in obtaining refund of overcharges on passenger fares since the injunction against the 2-cent rate was granted, Railroad Commission members say the federal court proba- ply will appoint a master" to super vise the work of making the refund on both passenger and freight over charges. The work of the master will be to determine difficult questions which will arise in adjusting the over- charges made by the railroad.
