Special to Times Republican,
Rockwell, March s. What the
Fourth of July is to the average young
American so il this day TO the farm
ers Of Rockwell. On the first Satur-
day of March each year something like
seven hundred of them gather in an
nual convention to talk over the sue
cesses Of the year. The Rockwell
Farmers Cooperative Society is the
oldest society in the state Of its kind.
1t was organized in March, 1889. at a
time when line elevators were at their
zenith Of prosperity. The farmers
thought they were paying too much to
those line elevators for the handling Of
their grain.
Hon. Norman Densmore. who stands
with the farmers Of Iowa much like
the late lamented Father" Coffin
stood with railroad men, was the auth
or of the principles governing co-op-
Grafton and organized and for num-
Der of years kept alive the Rockwell
society. Today some Of these events
were recalled and when it came to a
recitation of history of the eventful
days of 1904-when the society was
only IA years old, there was consider
able Of demonstration. Then It was
when thirty cooperative societies Of
the state-al there was at that time
had to cope with 500 line elevators.
Attempted Boycott.
The edict had gone forth to commits
sion firms at terminal points that II
they accepted cooperative shipments
they need not expect anything from
them. There were only two commits
sion houses that stood loyal to the
cooperative companies and they were
the stars that led to success. Reports
a year later showed that these two
companies lost So per cent of their
business. But the battle was not OF
long duration. A year later the flag OF
truce was flung to the breeze, the ban
was lifted and now the line companies
and the cooperative associations are
on an equal footing, solicited by all
alike. From the one society In 1889, to
the thirty societies in 1904, now there
are total Of 367 societies with a men,
bership Of over $4,000 in Iowa alone.
They are handling 115,464,300 bushels
Of grain yearly at total cost Of less
than cents per bushel, and according
to figures save to their members
$3,464,S49 every year. They have in
vested in elevators and in the con-
duct Of their. business over $1,000 900.
Enormous Business Done.
AZ the father Of all societies no
other bunch Of men enjoy these figures
so much as they do here. And to add
to this the report Of the manager today
showed that this had been the best
year in the twenty seven years for the
Rockwell society. The total volume Of
business amounted to ss71.s36.05 and
this was done at total cost Of only
$16,4S6.49. There is. possibly not an
other business concern in the state
handled on such economical basis. Here
is Manager Frank Campbelrs report:

JUDGES BLAME THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM FOR
TRAGEDIES AND COMEDIES OF THE COURT

WORKING ana supporting the grand
children and could do so no longer.
DeVoorta was ordered to get work
inside of two weeks.
1t was the case of Joseph Thomp-
son that brought the comment of the
important part economics play in do
nestle strife. Joseph was not very
young and he is the father of eight
children. He looked very weary and
hopeless and he had a bright mois-
ture in his tired eyes as he plaintively
explained that he does what odd jobs
he can get, shoveling coal and I'M
loading lumber, and gives his family
what money he makes.
''The underlying cause of domestic
trouble seems to be poverty Judge
Fisher observed.
do you think it is poverty brought
about by laziness or through inabil-
ity to obtain work." l asked.
81 haven't been here long enough
to make social diagnosis, the judge
answered, ''but it has seemed to me
that the economic situation is I'M
doubtedly one of the chief factors in
causing domestic strife. One cannot
call it laziness, for at the present time
there are many cases coming into
court of men who cannot support
their wives and children because they
are unable to work owing to the
building trades strike. They frankly
say they want to support their fam
lilies, but they are unable to go to
work and in many cases these men
would never have been in this court
we're it not for the economic situa-
ton.
'Then, while I am not quite ready
to express myself on the psyche I

can be seen in matters that come be-
fore me, but again that is, in a sense,
an economic question.

the greatest trouble. The husbands
do not make enough to support their
wives and children and the women
become desperate" Mrs. Harry N.
Fisher who presides over the do
nestle court of Judge Fisher.
These are the opinions of two
judges of domestic relations l inter-
viewed yesterday as to the chief
cause of the tragedies some
times the comedies that unravel
themselves in endless reels in the
court of domestic relations. Judge
Fisher has been on the bench in this
court for several weeks and has
heard hundreds of cases; Mrs. Fisher
spent Thursday night beside her hus-
band on the bench and listened to
sixty cases in the night court.
| asked Judge Fisher his opinion
after a tiresome repetition of cases
wherein the plea of the man was lack
of work and the cry of the woman
was lack of money.
Otto Huber pleaded he would sup
port his wife and two children if the
Judge would give him another chance
as he had secured a position yester-
day. Mrs. Huber said she had been
working for two years to support the
children herself and she was no
longer fit to do it. Huber was order
ed to pay Sc week beginning June
80.
John DeVorta, father of three chill
dren, pleaded that he had been I'M
able to get work for three months
and left Nelson & Co., packers, where
he worked as a butcher, because he
didn't get enough money there. He
said he had averaged So week with
that firm. Mrs. DeVorta sobbed in
the court that her mother had been

"A queer thing happened In that fight.
