DELTA COUNTY rSSm ERS'
SUPPLY COMPANY MEETS

A very successful meeting of the
Delta County Supply Company was
held in its large warehouse Tuesday,
July 18th. This was the regular mid
year meeting and WAS well attended.
A number of important matters
were discussed. one being the prob
lem OF marketing. II was the gener-
nj opinion that the farmers would
better let their potatoes remain in
TIN ground and save tho expense OF
marketing, rather than TO send them
out to brokerage houses who would
thus be enabled to use the products
of one farmer to beat down those OF
another. :,
II seemed to be the opinion OF all
tina, each should hold his stuff until
no was able to sell for cash.
The matter OF taking up the pres
en-, mortgage and other Indebtedness
of the association. and placing 1t
among the membership of the asso-
citation was discussed. and 1t was
concluded that inasmuch as 1t amoun'
tod to only $l20 per member It was
entirely feasible. and the directors
were instructed to see that 1t was
done.
Al, went home with stronger con
xiction that cooperation Is the key
In success for the farmer.

DELTA ATTORNEY LAUDs
THE LATE o. J. TERRELL

The Independent gladly gives space
to the following article on the life of
o. ]. Terrell, written by Mortimer
Stone. Delta attorney:
In the recent passing of o. ],
Terrell, of Cedaredge, not only his
community but our whole county suf-
fers loss which deserves more than
perfunctory remark for he was a lead
er and builder along lines of prac-
tical idealism and one of our out
standing men,
Mr.. Terrell measured life in terms
not of competition but of cooperation,
not OF goods accumulated but of good
done. He held it not as a contest
between him and his neighbor but as
brave adventure in which they
should go hand in hand. He sought
no path for himself alone but al
ways the highway on which he and
his fellows might climb together with
"a common purpose to common
achievement.
This ideal dominated his work in
the Christian ministry. His trust
transcended any statement of
creed. His bonds of fellowship were
not forms or phylacteries but COM
mon faith and common service. He
could not turn away those who
knocked at the door of the Church
because they differed from him in
detail of doctrine and he had vis-
ion of the Church as a vital COM
munity force where Christian people
could work unitedly for the salvation
of souls and the betterment of the
community.
This cooperative ideal also in
spired and dominated his other ac-
tfvities. Notwithstanding that he
came here with health impaired and
was for considerable time undertak-
ing the double work of ranching and
the ministry, he made himself felt
over the whole county as tireless
worker and respected leader in ev-
cry movement for better farms and
better homes and better neighbor-
hood. He worked through the Farm
ers' Union or the Farm Bureau or
any other available organization. He
led in the work for better stock
breeding and better dairying ana bet
ter roads. for cooperative purchase
of farm supplies and cooperative
packing and cooperative selling of
crops.
"Mr. Terrell had the courage to
stand and fight for his convictions
in the face of opposition and even
in the face of defeat, yet he was
modest and reticent withai. Men
might disagree with him as to policy
but none questioned his sincerity.
He was liberal without being a
radical; he worked at building up
and not at tearing down.
1--WE hear it said today that the
Church has lost its contact with life;
that it does not speak the language
OF the men on the street Here was
man whose religion did speak that
language and who lived in his home
and among his neighbors life in
terpretive of the spirit of his Master.
! ut is such men as this who are
the greatest builders of any commu-
nifty and it is such men who are
slowly leading mankind to higher
planes of life and thought
