agriculture, more than million dol
lars worth of war material for use

COUNTY AGENTS AID
"C0.Op'' CONCERNS

Cooperative farmers associations
in the northern and western states,
whose organization was promoted by
county agents, last year effected a
saving to the members of $5,434, 900
according to reports made to the
states relations service, United
States department of agriculture.
The governing principle in all activi-
ties on the part of county agents
sharing in cooperative movements
has been not to act as the direct
business agent of the farmer or an
organized group, but to assist farm
ers in determining what form Of
local organization is desirable and to
secure expert assistance, when avail
able, in organization methods. The
county agent also helps guard the
comu.unity against overorganization
and wherever practicable advocates
the Use of existing agencies The CO.
operative associations which the
county agents have helped form have
had to do both with production and
distribution and include cooperative
gran elevators, creameries, and live
stock selling associations.

HELPS TO CONSOLE INSANE
Association With Others Of Unbalanced
Mind Said to Have Tendency to =,
Benefit Them. ="

There is tendency for many peo-
pie to believe that when an insane per-
son is put with other insane people
the contact disturbs their minds, says
the New York. Medical Journal. On
the contrary, as rule the insane are
benefited by this association. The In.
sane grow impatient and unsettled
when they are constantly associated
with those who are rational, because,
irrational themselves, the constant dis.
agreements irritate them.
On the other hand, when the in
sane are brought in contact with those
who are more irrational than them
selves they derive some consolation
from the fact, for even for them con.
tentment is the feeling that things
might be worse. They are often slim
ulated by the example of the irration-
atty Of those around them to realize
their decisions and to use their own
reasoning powers to q better advan.

CHAPTER XIII

| .hings we observed in 1t that Mr.
Holmes has not touched upon.
The Nibley pamphlet was pub
lished on page three of The Idaho
Republican of August 6, as a paiC
advertisement, and readers are ad
vised that a copy of it should be pre-
served to re-read at intervals ant
to make comparisons of his state
ments with lot of other statements
being made by the sugar company
when they have been attempting tC
prove some other matter that WIS
in dispute.
The Holmes Letter:
Dear Mr.. Nibley:
Under date of July "a, you issued
a statement that was published in
the daily newspapers, copies OF
which were mailed to the various
weekly newspapers of the state, Civ
ing your explanation of the sugar
situation in this state and reasons
why it was necessary to raise the
Price of sugar in order to prevent
SPECTATORS from buying it up and
shipping it out of the country.
The people are pretty well in
formed of the fact that when Presi-
dent Wilson refused to buy the Gu
ban crop at 61a cents a pound and
take control of the sugar situation,
that it gave the cane sugar manu-
facturers and spectators an oppor-
tunity to "fx" the sea-board price of
sugar at a substantial figure so they
could make reasonable" profit on
their produce. And because Attor-
ney General Palmer permitted this
to be done the people know too, how
very sad Cd the beet sugar manu-
facturers were that the price of cane
sugar was permitted to advance. Be-
cause, when cane sugar goes up there
is reasonable" excuse to boost
the price of beet sugar, and then the
old story about supply and de-
mand" will harmonic conditions.
All this is clear enough, the peo-
PIE understand this fully. But the
thing the people do not understand
is the thing you admit in your state
ments, a copy of which is now before
me. A paragraph reads as follows:
Heretofore, only about 100000
bags of sugar of the Utah-1daho
Sugar company were required to sup
ply the local market in Utah, Idaho
and contiguous territory. The rest
of it's sugar was required to be sold
and was heretofore sold on the east
ern market. This last fiscal year,
however, the Utah-Idaho Sugar COM
pany sold and distributed in this
local territory over 100000 bags, the
average net selling price obtained to
March 1, 1920, being $10.87 per bag.

Down at Brigham City, Utah, is an
editor named Will r. Holmes. A
short time ago we published sketch
of his work and of his venture in
buying a printing business and plant
| with little capital and high determ-
| ination. 1t was a part of his determ-
ination that if he took over the news
paper he would give his readers a
square deal and never let that paper
deceive them in behalf of any ring,
clique or com bination Not long
after he took over the business, a
| member of a church ring went to
him and in plain blunt language told
him where to head in. And this man
Holmes with about six bits in his
pocket, and large payment coming
due, told the spokesman for the
bunch to go down into sweet hades
and become purified in sweat.
He knew they would cut off all
of his business that they could, but
he was standing for principle, and
he had made up his mind to take his
medicine without blinking. All un-
known to Holmes there were other
cliques waiting and watching to see
if he would fall in line do the bid
ding of the old bunch that had been
dominating the town and the paper,
and when they saw he did not fall
for that kind of stuff, but got his
back up like fighting cat, they got
just as busy taking business to him
as the other fellows did keeping it
away, with the difference in Holmes
favor, for the first bunch did not
dare to show their hand in an open
scrap where it was plain that they
were wrong, and they had to give
him lot of business right away to
keep up appearances. "Bill" has not
been closed out yet, and by the way
his business is growing, it looks as
if he would succeed.
Just recently c. w. Nibley, general
manager of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company sent out his famous
pamphlet to tell the beet growers
and the newspapers all about why
they had to raise the price of sugar
last spring. BILL" read the pamph-
let and noted that while Mr.. Nibley
was explaining one thing he let the
cat out of the bag in regard to other
matters. 1t is generally so with a
person who is insincere and trying
to bridge something over. Holmes
saw certain contradictions in Mr..
Nibley's pamphlet, and the editor
of this little sheet saw certain others
Holmes wrote an open letter to Nib
bley and published a copy OF it in
his own paper, the Box Elder Jour
nal, and we are copying it as part
of this chapter In another chapter
we will call attention to some lame

OF that amount, evidently about
$4,000 bags were picked up by
SPECTATORS at the low price and sold
in the eastern markets at profit of
from 81 to $40 bag. On May /,
1899, the Utah-ldaho Sugar company
had on hand only limited amount
of sugar"
Will you, Mr.. Nibley, tell the peo-
pie why you released this extra $780,
| 600 bags of sugar this year and gave
spectators this opportunity to buy
! it up and ship it to the eastern
markets?
Why did not the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company release but 100000 bags of
sugar early this year instead of 600,-
| 600 as you admit was done?
Were these extra $4,000 bags
that were not needed at the time for
local consumption, turned over to
| jobbers and others to dispose of to
anybody that had the price, knowing
1t the time that the eastern market
was up because of the advance in
cane sugar, in order to furnish you
with reasonable" excuse for adj
yancing the price of beet sugar TO
correspond with the price OF cane
sugar?
Does not your admission that you
released 100000 bags of sugar early
this year as against $4,000 bags last
year to the jobbers, prove to the lec-
pie that the 100000 extra bags were
released early in the season this year
IL order to bring o.;,out the condition
that exists now? IN other words, if
you could food the market with
sugar and spectators were per-
mitted to buy up all they wanted,
this would enable you to say to the
people, 1--WE were compelled to raise
the price of beet sugar in order to
keep spectators from buying it up
and shipping it to eastern markets
ard thus we protected the dear Eco
pie and kept a supply at home so
our own people will not be robbed
Cd of their sugar.
You know, Mr.. Nibley, that the
Great Western Sugar company of
Denver did just the opposite from
what you did. Instead of releasing
thousands of bags of sugar not
needed at the time for local con-
sumption, they released just what
vas actually needed by the people
in their territory and protected the
people in their territory in both sup
ply and price of sugar. Will you
tell the people, Mr.. NiDley, why you
could not have done the same thing
here?
The only redeeming feature about
your entire procedure is the fact that
if your advanced price Of sugar
stands the farmers will get more
money for their beets-not because
you want to s-ve it to them, but be-
cause they Will demand it. But
thele is abs lutely no reason why
the growers should not receive fair
price Tor lAaif beets without rob-
bling the consumers in order to give
it to them, and not all of the beet
producers are in favor Of taking
sugar from the tables Of the poor in
order to pour gold into their own
pockets.
The farmers have not been getting |
a square deal in big business, for
they have permitted others to place
a price on not only what they have
to buy, but what they produce as
well. Profiteers, if YOU please, have
formed a habit of debating to the
class and now it seems, they
propose to take the farmers in on
stunt and pass the bur-
den on to the widows and children
Of the country.

called the greatest event in life. The
deceased leaves wife. one son and
two grandchildren.
The following lines were read by
request al the close of the service;
There is no DEATH The stars 20 down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heavens jewelied crown
They shine forevermore.
There Is no DEATH The dust We tread
Shall change beneath the summer
showers,
To golden grain or mellow fruit
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
There Is no death. An angel form
/ Walks Ger the earth with silen,
tread;
He bears our bestowed things away
And then We call them dead.
Born into the undying life,
4 They leave US but TO come again;
With Joy we welcome them-the same
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life There are no dead.
