FARMERS COOP
MARKET BUILT
FROM GROUND UP
u. S. Grain Groluers'
Inc. Defended by
It's President.

Chicago. July 1.-The United
Grain Growers, Inc, is built from
the ground up on a foundation of
rco-operatiVe effort that has gone
before and that has proved sound,
safe and secure. c. H. Gustafson,
president of the organization, today
asserted in an address before the
convention of the Millers' National
Federation in session here.
80 Years of Effort.
President Gustafson outlined 80
years of cooperative effort among
farmers against discrimination and
unfair practices in the grain trade
which has resulted today in more
than four thousand seven hundred
rural communities possessing farm
crowned elevators. He also spoke
of the attacks made against the
principles of cooperative grain
marketing and defended his organi-
zation, which he defined as a non
stock, non-profit association of
farmers to market grain at cost for
the membership.
After outlining the plan of oper-
alton of the United States Grain
Growers, Inc, and its subsidiary Or
CARNATIONS, he referred to the pre-
llminary report of the Federal
Trade commission, issued recently,
which, he said, furnished support
for cooperative grain handling,
highest returns on investments be-
ing shown by cooperative paying
patronage dividends.
Would Eliminate Gambling.
The aim and purpose of this or
ganization is to merchandise our
own grain and eliminate specula-
ton, manipulation and gambling
that has run rife in the markets" ="
he said. THE result is that the
prices fluctuate wildly without re-
gard to supply and demand, making
a market that is in the interest OF
the speculator rather than either
the producer or consumer.
Such a farmer owned agency
will be able to eliminate the gross
wastes that are a part of the exist
ing system and to reflect in grain
prices those inequalities resulting
from grading, mixing and condition
ing grain which now contributes
only to private profit.
straight Road to Market"
'"The directors in charge of the
United States Grain Growers, Inc,
realize there is something more to
merchandising than simply forming
an imense pool and then sitting On
top of it with shot gun and an
order book. We have builded from
the ground up. We have taken as
our foundation the cooperative eff
fort that has gone before and prov
en- sound, safe and secure.
I'VE are making a straight road
to market. 1t has been a narrow,
rough, stony, winding road from
the farm to the market We are
going to straighten that road, make
it wider so there will be more room
for honest and fair competition"

DR.. BUTLER
DENIES HE'S
C0L.. HOUSE
Brands Suggestion He Is
Harding Spokesman
Ridiculous.

London, July 1.-CBy the Asso-
ciated Press. DIR. Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, president of Columbia
university, has emphasized to all
inquirers during his visit here that
he has not come to Europe as Pres
ident Harding's Colonel House"
and that any suggestion to that eff
feet was ridiculous.
L. S. League Stand Final
Dr. Butler has taken every op-
portunlty at the numerous func-
tions he has attended. where he
has met many of the most inf1uen-
tial figures in British official and
social circles, of assuring them
that Americas "airtight" rejection
of the League of Nations, as first
enunciated here by Ambassador
Harvey in his speech before the
Pilgrims society, is final.
Referring to this subject, DR..
Butler said:
Pilgrims and the world of Ameri-
cas- decision But despite his as
surances that it was absurd to be-
lieve that the United States might
yet be beguiled into the league,
have found many in England still
cherishing the idea that this is not
really the case. These people cite
as justification of tiaeir views let
ters they have received in consid-
cradle number from friends of the
league in the United States, telling
them reported rejection of the
league is nothing but political by
play and that in the end the Unit
ed States will certainly join.
Harvey Was Right.
81 am Of the opinion, expressed
by some prominent British spokes-
man, that any misunderstanding on
this point is mischievous and con-
stitutes a real danger. 1 have,
therefore, concluded that the best
thing to do is to tell such folks
simply and bluntly that Harvey
spoke the real truth, and I'm doing
it."

BORAH WINS IN
FIRST CONTEST
WITH HARDING
Idaho Senator's Dis.
armament Resolu-
ton Passed.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1929
Especial to The Argus

Washington, July /. - Senator
Borah of Idaho, champion of dis
armament, stands out today S vic
tor in the first contest with the
Harding administration. Reluctant
for reasons never divulged, the ad-
ministration at first frowned upon
Mr. Borah's efforts to push the dis
armament question to the front,
then conceded the point and passed
the word to Republican senators
that no objection was entertained to
their support of the measure and
finally made an effort through Re
publican Leader Mondell OF the
house, to get a broad resolution
passed which would cover military
as well as naval disarmament. That
last proposal of the administration
was finally abandoned in the house
and the Borah resolution came
through with flying colors-
Policy Change Unexplained.
The reasons that lie back of the
administration change of policy
have not been on the surface at all
and several Republicans who
watched the rising tied of d1sarma-
ment sentiment in the country nave
insisted that whatever the form
which the disarmament proposals
may take the house could not af-
ford to get into tangle on the
question by voting down the Borah
idea of a three power conference
Great Britain, Japan ana the
United States.
The truth is the Borah resolution
doesn't prevent the executive from
suulmoning a conference of all the
powers nor does it inhibit Mr.
Harding from including land arma-
meut as we'll. The president has
the right to negotiate with foreign
mowers about any subject under the
sun and no matter what agreement
he negotiated congress would have
the final say as to the stoppage or
appropriations for naval or mill
tary armament.
Lodge Takes Little Part.
The administration forces have
not relished the idea of being led by
Senator Borah. In the past all i'm
portant policies sanctioned by an
have been initiated
Inv the spokesman of the admin
|istration in the house or senate. IN
|this case Senator Lodge took little
Ipart in the proceedings. Republl-
can Leader MondelPs efforts TO
broaden the resolution were aban-
laoned. 1t was decided to yield to
Ar Rorah.
Explanations given, today vary
Some said the desire of the execu-
I6ye was to get congress busy on
nuch more vital matters OF ous-
ness than a mere expression OF
spinion which after all is what the
sorah resolution does 1t doesn't

Nevertheless the forcing or the

hardening people SO that they will not
contract colds. There is an element
of danger in this, since to expose a
weak person to the rigors of cold baths
and cold drafts is apt to lower resls-
lance, thus favoring the very condi-
ton which it is desiredrto avoid. At
the same time it should not be forgot
| ten that the Arctic explorer does not
ordinarily have cold SO long as he
stays out in the open, and that it is
not the engineer and fireman in the
cold, drafty cab who have colds, but
those who ride in the close, dusty, ov-
erhead coaches behind. When all is
said, it must be admitted that dusty,
unventilated rooms perhaps play the
greatest role in producing colds.
Since colds are serious condition
Sthey should be treated as such. A
great many people think that they
| have an infallible remedy for breaking
: up a cold. This may be harmless in it
self, but usually it is not and consists
Of combination of harmful drugs and
alcohol, the latter usually preponderat-
ing. The sufferer takes these prepar-
aticns in large quantities, and if he is
strong enough he may survive them
end eventually get the best Of his cold.
Standardization or medication by I'M
trained persons is always dangerous.
1t is especially dangerous to those hav-
ing colds and should always be scrupu-
louslyp avoided. AS rule, much time
inconvenience, and suffering will be
obviated by consulting an intelligent
physician promptly. If this is not
practicable, a brisk saline may be
taken and the patient put to bed. This
gives his body opportunity to regain
its vitality and at the same time iso-
lates him from other people. The sick
room should be well ventilated and the
windows so opened as to keep the air
moving freely. 1t is also wise to mois-
ten the air little bit by putting a pan
of water on the radiator or over the
register or on the stove. The handker-
chiefs and bedding used by the patient
should be sterilized by boiling. Kiss
ing, and the use of drinking cups and
towels, ETC., in common with other
members of the HOUSEHOLD should be
forbidden, it being borne in mind con-
stantly that colds are infectious and
readily spread from one person to an
other.
