WEST NOTTINGHAM.

The West Nottingham Presbyter-
ian Sunday School is conducting a
campaign for new scholars. Each
class chose an automobile last Sun
day, and the gain in membership
will be recorded on the Lincoln
Highway by miles. There was con
siderable enthusiasm in choosing
cars. which was done by lot. Joe
Glackin pulled the card for Miss
Reeder's class. He drew the Ford. 4"
The boys say they will turn ON the
gas and run in high.
The girls ride in Hupmobile
They are busy with lubricants, and
expect to do some fast running.
The Bible Class chose the Frank
lin. The members believe in the
air cooler. and will test it out in the
race.
The cars that enter the race are
the following: Overland. Oldsmo-
bile. Franklin, Ford, Dodge, and
Hupmobile.
The Dodge boys are on the way
and they say the telephone poles
will look like toothpicks when they
get the carburetor warmed up.
San Francisco is the starting point
and New York the terminus. "A
fine banquet is prepared for the oc-
cupants of the first car reaching the
terminus.
The progress of the contesting
cars will be recorded in the Midland
Journal. Watch the West Noting
ham church announcement on the
last page.
A Radiophone will be installed in.
the West Nottingham church in the
near future. The amplifier will be
sufficient to make the concerts or
Pittsburgh. Newark, N. j., and Phil
adelphia, etc. audible in all parts of
the church. This is being done for
the benefit of the people throughout
the community. The church believes
in progress, and desires to serve
the community to the best of her
ability. We invite your interest
and cooperation.
The new Manse is progressing
rapidly. 1t is busy place just now.
The carpenters. skaters, electricians,
are working faithfully. The plas-
tiers will begin their work this week.

After q month of so little rain
fall that the Weather Bureau has to
go back SO years to find it's equal,
the forests OF the State are in
critically dry condition. Already
over 100 fires have been reported TO
the State Board OF Forestry for
April, and IL this dry condition con-
tinues, their number will be greatly
increased, unless the utmost care is
taken by the citizens of the State.
In ordinary times, the careless
fire may burn itself out, or is easily
stopped before getting much head
way. Now the litter and debris In
the woods is like finder and once
started, rivers can scarcely quench
the fire. The State Board of Fores-
try takes this opportunity to urge
upon all citizens of the State ex.
IRENE care in the woods.
A FEW DONT'S.
Don't start brush fires unless you
can be sure of keeping them under
control.
Don't leave any fire until it is
absolutely out-every spark.
Don't smoke in the woods unless
you know what you can do with your
matches, cigarette butts. and pipe
heels.
IN CASE OF FIRE.
Get word to a warden at once.
They are under oath to get the fire
under control, and will appreciate
your cooperation.

BY AARON sAPGRO


A modern cooperative marketing
organization ia a highly technical
form OF business institution. 1t ~
devised for tho most successful mar
kcting Of farm products in the in
tercsts OF its member farmers and
for nothing else. 1t bears slight re-
semblance 20 any other form OF
American business organizations
and has nothing to do with Con
sumner cooperation" or cooperative
buying, which Is cat OF an entirely
different color.
in the next article, I propose to
give a brief outline Of the funda-
mental principles Of such an organ
isation. Meantime, let us have
look at the process OF their evolu-
tion.
No more ridiculous idea can be
conceived than that the highest type
OF cooperative marketing organiza-
tion. as II exists today. has sprunv
tull-fledged, within the last two or
three years. from the brain OF any
one man or group OF men. 1t is the
fruit OF a long ana infinitely varied
experience, and the evolution of a
successful form has been gradual.
Long Sought TO Cooperate.
Cooperation, very close 10 our
lesser scale, has been practiced in
various countries in Europe for the
last half century. Cooperation OF a
less efficient character has been
gradually growing among American
farmers for fully that period Of
time.
For centuries. the farmers Of the
world have been organizing. I'm one
way or another, with the end In
view or acquiring for themselves
"middlemeu's profits" This is only
part aim of modern cooperative
marketing. whose fundamental pur-
pose OF eliminating the dumping
process has only been understood
and evolved within the last few
years Furthermore, we now recog-
nize the usefulness OF tho distribu-
tive, as distinguished from the
speculative middle man Therefore.
past efforts have been mostly inef-
ficient but they have tended In tho
right direction
The dairy farmers Of Switzerland
have been cooperating for the last
500 years. All over Europe, during
the first half OF the last century,
there sprung up among farmers va
riouS forms Of co-operatives banks
and cooperative stores. The success
Of the famous cooperative store of
the forty wcavers Of Rochedale. in
England. which was instituted about
1S40 rapidly spread its story all
over the world and resulted in in
Vulnerable efforts at cooperative
selling. upon the Rochedale plan.
which, being plan OF consumer CO.
operation and not a plan OF producer
cooperation, has produced as many
failures na successes.
Movement Here Slow.
The older farm organizations I'm
this country began shortly after
the Civil war to set up local CO.
operative wheat elevators and co.
operative creameries based upon the
Rochedale plan which now dot the
middle west OF the United States
by the thousands.
Sometimes, they have been sue
cessful, and more frequently they
have been complete failures. In the
majority OF cases they have bcen
neither successes nor failures That
is to say, they have managed 70 on
crate without either marked profit
or loss TO their member farmers. In
all cases they have had no effect
whatsoever upon general market
conditions. for these little isolated
