LOYAL SUPPORT OF
FARMERS IS URGED
Department Of Agriculture Gives
Encouragement to Principle
of Cooperation.

The Department OF Agriculture Is
giving consistent encouragement to
the principle of cooperation for
farmers.
In a bulletin just put out by the
department.. reprinting observations
on the subject Of "Co-operative Mar
ketinE and financing OF Marketing
= associations" by c. r.. Bassett and
Clarence w. Moomaw. specialists in
cooperative organization. and w. H.
Kerr. investigator in market business
practice. 1t is stated
"A new faith has developed on the
part OF the farmers themselves that
the cooperative plan of doing farm
businss is the most satisfactory
method. Like the European farmer.
the American farmer Is being driven
to corporation by necessity.
Methods Are Costly
in the United States the necessity
arises chiefly from the costly. clumsy.
and unbusinesslil<e methods of dis
tributing food products. resulting in
an abnormal discrepancy between the
price paid TO the producer and the
cost to the consumer
How strongly the department feels

is indicated by the conclusions which
are drawn in the final paragraph of the
discussion. as follows:
"Co-operation as an economic prin-
ciple is receiving the serious considera-
ton OF practically all industrial classes.
Its application to special lines OF agri-
cultural distribution and marketing ia
entirely feasible and offers q solution OF
problems and difficulties that are prac-
ticaly hopeless IN so far as the indi-
vidual Is concerned.
"In the Department of Agriculture
cooperative organization is considered
to be a primary and fundamental pro-
iect. for 1t Is believed that cooperation
In agriculture Is corrective measure
solid basis and do much to insure the
future happiness and prosperity OF the
nation"
Successful Business.
The exports OF the department present
many interesting views and conclusions
as the result of their studies and obser-
vations. One OF them is that farming
should be not only a scientific occupa-
ton. but a successful business. Every
branch OF the industry. the experts hold.
should be founded on well established
economic business principles.
The point Is made that much OF the
trouble of farming and much OF the
complaint of producer and consumer
are due to lack of an efficient system OF
distribution and marketing and that
whereas the problems of such a system
cannot we'll be worked out by the IN
dividual, II is possible to work them out
through collective effort or cooperation.

GERMANY ADMITS
NEBRASkAN At TACK
Foreign Office indicates Readi-
ness to Pay Damages For
Mistake."
CONTINUED from First Page.

no report has ever been made, There
has never been any official doubt as to
the attack on the Nebraskan.
Following Is the memorandum tele-
graphed by Ambassador Gerard from
Berlin:
from newspaper reports the intelligence
that the American steamer Nebraskan
had been damaged by a mine or torpedo
on the southwest coast OF Ireland. IT
therefore, started a thorough investiga
ton Of the case without delay and from
the result Of the investigation it has
become convinced, that the damage to
the Nebraskan was caused by an at
tack by submarine.
No Flag or Markings.
ION the evening OF May 25 last, the
submarine met a steamer bound west

maritime war that only English

traN ersed this war area without flag
and markings. he attacked the vessel
with a torpedo In the conviction that
he had an enemy vessel before him.
unfortunate Accident"
Some time after the shot, the COM
mander saw that the vessel had in
the meantime hosted the American
flag. AS a consequence he of course
refrained from any further attack.
Since the vessel remained anoat. no
had no occasion to concern himself
further with the boats which had
been launched.
TT results from this without a
doubt that attack On the Steamer Me-
brusk an was not meant for the Amer

fault on the part of the commanded r
of the German submarine. but is to
be considered an unfortunate acci-
dent.
"The German government expresses
its regret at the occurrence to the
Government Of the United States Of
America and declares its readiness to
make compensation for the damage
thereby sustained by American citi-
zens."

The professor, with Quest and Long

Back In the camp, spirit Of devilry

OF one of the deputies had set alight
the smoldering fire of resentment
which the cowboys had all the time
felt against them At word from
Long Jim they were taken by surprise
and tied to the wagon.

the canvas Of the wagon was riddled.
