No Question of Success.

The side line character of butterfat
production in states like Kansas long
ago resulted in efficient private butter
making and marketing methods. The
efficient methods are now successfully
being developed by farmers co-Opera-
lively in Nebraska in order to give
farmers the profits of efficient mar
keting. In other lines farmers have
followed efficient methods of market
ing, and by cooperation have received
competitive prices for products, and III
addition have received the profits that
otherwise were earned by private mid
dlemen. There is no question but that
farmers can successfully market their
wool in a countrywide, comprehensive
and cO-Ordinated manner. To do so
they, however, will have to finance
their own operations.
Just now there is more or less wide
spread unrest over wool prices and
farmers are apparently restless about
waiting for their money. But there is
no juStifable reason for this. Through
the federal reserve system, member
banks can, and are rediscounting wool
warehouse certificates, and farmers
are receiving a large proportion Of
the best present estimates of wool val
ues. If farmers were to sell their
wool now on the basis of these COM
paratively low prices, that would be
all they would receive for their clip.
Then later the price In going up would
not benefit the growers. But, if in
own pooling warehouse, borrow on the
warehouse certificate and wait for the
wool to be sold to the mills, while they
may have to pay out little interest,
they will nevertheless receive the
maximum instead of minimum aver"
age prices for the clip.
This is just what the private middle
men do. They borrow on the wool
warehouse certificates and advance
this borrowed money to pay farmers,
and then wait for the profits to be
earned in marketing. There is no rea
son why farmers should not borrow
the money themselves in the same
manner and then after paying them
selves this borrowed money, wait for
the profits that their cooperative mid
dleman will make as surely as do the
private middlemen.
If farmers need any word of eau
ton it is, eff you want to kill cooper
alton, sell your wool now. If you
want to prove the strength of cooper
alton as a power to consolidate and
systematic hitherto inefficient market
ing of wool, either wait for the wool
to be sold or finance your own market
ing by borrowing"

their lives. 1t had furnished them
with entertainment and other enjoy
ment and aid while in camp, but the
great majority had never felt the need
of the Red Cross before entering the
service and they reasoned they would
not need its assistance now that they
were out Of it again.
Since that time many thousands
have learned to know otherwise. The
Red Cross was their friend in the
service and they naturally turned to
it when trouble and complications be-
set them in civilian life.
Nearly a Million Aided.
Through the Home Service Section,
which has taken up the task of car
ing for the soldier and sailors after
they leave the service, and their fami-
lies and dependents, nearly a million
men have been given assistance of
various kinds. This consists princi-
pally of financial aid, finding jobs,
obtaining back pay, allOtments and
compensation.
The states in the central division
are beginning to realize some idea
of the volume of information work
being carried on by the Civilian Re-
lief a part Of the Home Service de-
partment. From 1900 to 1000 cases
are handled from each state almost
every month.
The Red Cross does not cOnfine it's
activities to service men only. 1t also
takes care of his family. In a little
town in Nebraska recently a certain
soldier stationed at the AlcatraZ bar
racks for discipline was granted
clemency and his term reduced. But
he had become so respondent that he
threatened to take his life.
Found Family Destitute.
The Red Cross investigated the con-
dition of his family and found they
were in destitute circumstances and
that his mother was i'll. Moreover, it
was found that he had been absent
without leave to go to her. Upon
presentation Of the facts in the case
the sentence was committed and the
Red Cross is helping the family to get
on it's feet.
The fact that all the returned
bodies of dead soldiers are given a
military funeral may be partly at
tributed to the Civilian Relief bu-
reau. While the organization does
not attend to the funeral directly, 1t
gives instructions through the Ameri-
can Legion and where the family is
financially unable to take care OF the
matter, the Red Cross comes to the
assistance and offers relief.
Public health hospitals are filled
with ex-soldiers whom the Civilian
Relief service is taking care of. A
large percentage of these are suf-
fering with tuberculosis and shell
shock.
Helps Get Compensation.
Great service has been rendered by
the Red Cross in mental cases in iden-
tifying those who have appeared in
state hospitals for the insane, and
helping them secure compensation due
from the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance.
In the federal boards various offices
in the central division, the Red Cross
worker acting with the Home Service
section, makes necessary loans to the
men, arranges suitable living cOndi-
lions, helps collect evidence and sup
ply facts to the board, assists in zap
pealing cases" and settles various
personal difficulties for the men. The
workers also follow up and aid all
men who discontinue training.

PERSHING'S TRIBUTE
TO THE RED CROSS

"It gives me real pleasure to
pledge my hearty support to
the American Red Cross. While
the opportunity for it's greatest
service comes during times of
war, and it's achievements dur
ing the late World war have
been unparalleled, yet there Is
and perhaps there always will
be a vital need for the humani-
tartan work which it renders.
1.-THE present and former serv-
ice men can never forget the
Red Cross, not only for what it
did for them during the war,
but for what it is doing now in
the army camps and posts and
wherever needed in assisting the
ex-service men throughout the
country. The value of the
American Red Cross as a peace
time organization can hardly be
over-estimated, and we owe 1t
our loyal support and active Co
operation.

wool. But just as the private middle
man had to finance the buying of
wool, when he did the marketing. so
also the farmer must now finance the
marketing of wool when he proposes
to do the marketing himself. This
financing the farmer can accomplish
either by waiting for his money until
the wool is sold, or by paying interest
to the banks and borrowing the money
until the wool is paid for. Will the
farmer do one or the other of these
two things? If he will not, he there
by refuses to do what he can to estab-
liSh the most efficient kind of wool
marketing method. If the farmer fails
to create efficient cooperative wool
marketing, possibly private agencies
will systematic wool marketing They
can do so. But that they will seems
unlikely if we forecast the future from
present competitive conditions or on
the basis of past experience"
