sun while some "beefing" player or
manager and the umpire pull off an
argumentative contest.
An umpire may be ever SO COM
petent and unbiased yet he can rarely
if ever satisfactorily officiate when
his home team is one Of the contest
ants. Close decisions in favor OF the
home team will invariably provoke
argument and protests from the OPP
posing team. If not this they will
at least arouse ill-feelings, which may
not be expressed among the visiting
players.
If the Yakima Valley League is
worth while it is worth good umpires.
At the beginning of the season four
men should be designated as official
umpires. They should be paid for their
services and their schedules should be
so arranged that no one of them ever
umpires a game in which his home
team is a contestant.
We shall never be done with wrang-
ling until some such plan as this is
adopted.

al persuasion to hold its member
ship together following a season of
adverse marketing conditions.
Past experience has taught that the
marketing organization which binds
it's members with a one-year contract
is left at the end of a difficult market
ing year with only an empty shell. The
membership either scatters hither and
thither or runs away in body from
the old organization and starts new
one just like the old.
Fine phrases and lofty sentiments
about loyalty and the spirit of CO.
operation is all very well but the cold
facts are that membership will stick
in the face of poor returns only when
it is forced to stick. The longtime
contract is an essential to success
which growers of farm products cam
not afford to longer ignore. ~
The principle has been given recog-
milton in the organization of the Wash
ington Wheat Growers, and the Wash
ington Hay Growers association,
which is now in process of organiza-
ton. With the minimum five-year
contracts these organizations are
starting business with a foundation.
The one-year organization has none.
1t no more than gets started when a
disgruntled membership kicks the
props out from under it and there is
one more cooperative failure to rec
ord, and every failure seriously re-
tards the cooperative movement in
general. r-~ -. r.. III.

SURE ONE SIGN is CORRECT
Worried indianapolis Man Is very
Glad to Let Things Remain
on That Basis.

When Wallace o. Lee, chairman of
the publicity committee for the Gypsy
Smith revival arrangements, ordered
the big sign on the front of the wood
en- tabernacle opposite the city hall,
he told the sign man to spell II
"Gipsy."
After it was painted and set up,
somebody told Wallace that he was
all wrong-that the first syllable
should have been spelled with a '.y"
instead of an 81" So when Wallace
the other day ordered 152 signs boost
ing the campaign, to be sent to evan
gelistic churches in the county, he
told the sign man to spell it Gypsy"
Then various ministers worried Mr..
Lee by calling him up and saying that
although they were glad to get the
sign. and so Oh. still-well, what they
were trying to hint politely was that
what Wallace didn't know about SPELL
ing would have filled a bigger book
than the unabridged.
So the harassed booster dug out
dictionary and 10, it said that the
word, as common noun at least,
may be spelled either way without en-
dangering the peace and dignity or
the state.
Ard then along comes a letter from
the evangelist himself and his sigma
ture read "Gipsy Smith"
Well, anyway, one sign is right

COOPERATIVE MARKETING

~T is the opinion of this paper
that the so-called sapiro plan
offers a solution to the problem of CO.
operative marketing of farm products.
And it must be admitted that coop
erative marketing as it has been prac-
ticed in this community has been
somewhat of problem.
The Sapiro plan, which now may
well be called the Washington plan in
asmuch as it has been incorporated in
the cooperative marketing bill passed
by the legislature, corrects two SER
ious defects in some of the past eff
forts. In the first place it proposes
the organization of commodities rath-
err than communities. The purpose
of cooperative selling agency is to
market commodity and not to ex-
plot and advertise a community. In
the past there has been too much riv-
airy and competition, too much du-
plication of effort, too much overhead
expense, too many failures and too
few successes. When it comes to mar
keting the wheat, or the apples, or the
hay, or the potatoes of great pro-
ducing state like Washington, there
is no such thing as splendid isola-
ton" as between communities. Sue
cessful cooperation cannot start
with the individual and stop with the
community. There must be the same
measure of cooperation between the
communities as there is between the
individuals of any one community.
Another strong feature of the Sa-
piro plan is the longtime contract.
This is merely recognition of the
very vital fact that no organization
whether.it be cooperative or private,
whether it be for selling, for buying,
for barter or for trade, can be built
in one year. The death certificates
Of most of our dead cooperative SELL
ing agencies are inscribed with fail
ure to recognize this fact.
Success at marketing like success
in any other line of business or in
dustry cannot be built upon a one
year basis. Farming is not one
year proposition. Likewise the mar
keting of farm products is not a one
year proposition. Both must be gov
erned by the law of averages. There
always have been and always will be
poor years. The cooperative agency
can never entirely eliminate them.
consequently it must be equipped to
cope with adversely. This it cannot
do if it has no power other than NOR

BIG WASTE OF GOOD FOOD
Sudden Cold Snap Trapped Millions OF
Herring in Marrow Neck OF
Alaskan Harbor.

What is declared by Captain Brunn

their remarkable experience of sail

herring three days before the North
western arrived, when a sudden freeze
caught the fish i'm the narrOw-necked
harbOr before they could escape TO

denness and severity and about six
inches of ice formed in the harbor.
Millions of herring at the entrance
could be seen dumbly fighting TO get
out to sea before the inclosed waters
were frozen. n ....

Mr.. Bradovich, "but the fact is that

Written Word 10 lastlno.

The highest glory that a writer can
win is TO be read. according to "An
Englishman" In the continental edition
Of the London Daily Mail. he lives
not in a tomb, but in his books. Ever
since Horace boosted that he had built
his own monument, more lasting than
brass, his successors have proudly
echoed the boast. II Is indeed by a
strange irony that the written word
outlasts all the other manifestations
OF human ingenuity. The cities Of an
Gent Greece have perished utterly.
The few fragments which the industry
and ingenuity of archaeologists recov-
er from time 10 time give US but a
poor glimpse of the glory that was
Greece. The once famous painters OF
old are today but names. Even the
masterpieces Of sculpture, an art
which does not always fight losing
battle with time, come down TO US In
fragments. But Homer has survived
whole and untouched. We know not
where he was born-many cities claim
his birth. We know not where he was
buried. And what matters our igno-
rancel There remain the "niad" and
the Odyssey" TO tell US what manner
Of man he was. and they will die only
with the death of the human race.
