RJJSK COUNTY FARM ITEMS LOCAL DEALERS A ri

1t seems to us that some people who
have been fighting the retailer are
seeing the ligh&e namely: that the
retailer is an economic necessity.
The following article appeared re-
Gently in the Messenger 4 Chronicle
Of TT. Dodge. Ia. as OF date of Sept.
-. 1921. The article has been copied
by good many other papers down in
iowa and other states. The article
reads as follows

moditics and do injury to farmers in
tercsts by unecOnOmic competition with

least one county agent i'll Iowa, Clar-
encc pickard of Humboldt. Iowa.
Mr. Pickard who formerly believed
that the county agent should lend his
assistance TO groups of farmers who de-
sired to buy supplies comparatively to
be distributed from the car for cash,
has altered his policy due to severa.
experiences with cooperative buying.

such good support from the farmers
as to leave certain dealers stranded
high and dry with these commodities

AS a result, this spring it was with
some difficulty that the dealers were
persuaded to handle twine at all. Ii
was necessary that dealers should car

pay cash at the car many were in tle
habit of waiting until they ran the!i

REV. MYRON COOLEY'S LIFE
SUBJECT OF ARTICLE IN SOUTH

The life of the Rev. Myron Cool
ey of Lynden is the subject of an ar
ticle published last week in the news
paper at Cotton, California. whore
Rev. Cooley is visiting.
The following is the article:
REV Myron Cooley is a guest at
the o. L. Emery home. The reverend
gentleman is we'll known to the older
residents of Cotton, having once been
pastor of the Baptist Church here,
and since resigning that charge, he
has kept in touch with the town. al
though this has been his first visit
here in six years.
"Mr. Cooley is a New Yorker by
birth, but a citizen of the whole Unit
ed States, as his record will verify.
He was ordained a minister of the
Baptist Church a year or two before
coming to Cotton in November, 1895.
In 1898, he became pastor of Eman-
uel Baptist Church at Santa Ana.
He held that charge for six years.
when he accepted the position of ed
itor of the Pacific Baptist, published
at Portland, Oregon. Held this job
for two years; then was superintend-
ent of missions in North Dakota for
four years; then pastor of a church at
Seattle for two years, when he went
back to editorial work. This time
in New York City, and on the Watch
man Examiner. But after a time, re-
sumed preaching, becoming assistant
pastor of the Second Baptist Church
in Chicago. Returning to the Pac-
ific Coast. he engaged in pastoral
work in the State of Washington,
giving one month in the year to lee
turing on young peoples work at the
Summer Assembly at Burton, Vashon
Island. Stricken with nervous pros
tration in the fall of 1919, he had to

for the benefit of his health. and
about q month ago arrived at the
home of his sister, Mrs. Samuel Drew
Harris. who lives at Nestor, hamlet
in San Diego County. This brought
him on the Mexican border. His nor

activity is apparently already proving
very beneficial to Mr.. Cooley's health.
