COOPERATIVE BUYING, IF
 OVERDONE, IS HARMFUL
County Agent in Iowa Declares Deal CTS Are Essential to
 Farm Success.

Ames, Ia., Sept. 29.-That local farm bureau organizations can go too far in the matter of cooperative buy ing of farm commodities and do in- jury to farmers interests by unecn- homie competition with existing bus mess is the opinion of at least one county agent in Iowa, Clarence Pick ard of Humboldt county.
 MT. Pickard, who formerly believed that the county agent should lend his assistance to groups of farmers who desired to buy supplies comparatively to be distributed from the car for cash, has altered his policy due to several experiences with cooperative buying. "We purchased three cars of twine last year and two cars of clover seed this year," says Mir. Pickard, with such good support from the farmers as to leave certain dealers stranded high and dry with these commodities on hand.
 "As a result, this spring it was with some difficulty that the dealers were persuaded to handle twine at all. It was necessary that dealers should carry twine, for some farmers could not pay cash at the car, many were in the habit of waiting until they ran their binders out before thinking of twine, and without the dealer there would be no way to sup ply odd balls, for the farm bureau has
 no storehouses or distributing system.
 "It looks like clever trick at first
 to show the dealers up this way, but
 when they call our bluff and with
 draw from handling these eommodi- ties in which deal we are stuck, for we
 have started something we can't fin-
 ish. We are not prepared to give
 this service to all kinds of farmers
 every day in the year"
 As result of these experience Mir.
 Pickard has altered his policy toward
 this problem. "Whenever the farm
 CTS thruout the country or in any
 portion of it." he says, demand the
 cooperative purchasing of commod-
 ity, we cite them their privilege of
 organizing their own cooperative so-
 ciety to free them from the real or
 imaginary bondage of the private
 dealer.
 My attitude is that the dealer per- forms an indispensable service which. whether rendered by him or by some one else, must be paid for from coun-
 tywide buying for farmers unless they are prepared to go all the way and completely replace the dealer with reference to the specific com modity they are attempting to handle.

|ARDUCKLE IS OUT ON $5,OOO BOND
After Examination for Death of Miss Virginia Rappe. Charge Against Comedian Reduced to Manslaugh-
 ter-The Judge Talks.

San Francisco, Sept. 2S.-The mur- der complaint against Roscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle was reduced to manslaughter today by Police Judge Sylvan J. Lazarus, who held him to answer in the Superior court for trial on the lesser charge growing out of the death of Miss Virginia Rappe fol lowing drinking party in Arbuckle's hotel suite here.
 Judge Lazarus added that the evi- dence introduced by the District At torney during the six day hearing did not warrant the comedians retention for murder. Miss Rappe, Los An geles motion picture actress, died on September 9, four days after the af- fair in Arbuckle's rooms.
 Arbuckle was released tonight on 1000 bail.
 Judge Lazarus, in opening court on last days trial, asid:
 "We need not disguise the fact that this is an important case. In my opinion we are not trying Roscoe Ar buckle alone, the screen celebrity who has given mirth to the whole world We are in a sense trying ourselves our morals, our present day social standards. The question is larger than the guilt of this unfortunate, it is universal issue.
 "The affair was the continuation of an orgy at one of our leading hotels An orgy unrepressed by the manage ment. is 1 take it, common thing in cur cities.
 "I had really hoped that this court would be the avenue for full and com plete revelation of all the facts, so the public of the entire world would have the opportunity to ascertain this widely known defendants guilt or in nocence.
 ''The testimony heard shows that during the whole afternoon there vert on, let us charitably say, festiv- |ities. Men and women were coming and going, some witnesses are unable to say who were the occupants of the rooms at any particular hour. Much liquor was drunk and the complaining witness in particular was in an inebriated condition.
 Miss Rappe, according to the pic ture have tried to draw of this event went into room 1219 of this hotel, fol lowed, without previous conversation by the defendant.
 They remained in there about three quarters of an hour, according to Miss Zeh Prevost's testimony. No sounds were heard by the rest of the party
