COOPERATION DOUBLES PRICES
FOR $1,000 FARMERS

One OF the most amazing stories of
cooperative achievement yet received
| In America is the remarkable success
attained in one years time by the Bur
Hey Tobacco Growers Cooperative AS
ISOLATION, embracing $1,000 tobacco
farmers in Kentucky and adjacent
states. Two years ago, the tobacco
farmers were bankrupt. They were at
the mercy of the auction system" Of
marketing their product, which brought
fortunes to the middIemen and specuIa-
tors, and mortgages to the farmers.
Following the example Of the Califor-
mia Fruit Growers in a similar situation,
the tobacco farmers decided to market
their crop comparatively, signed up
tour-flfths Of all growers in the state,
built their own warehouses, hired the
necessary technical experts, and secur-
ed the necessary credit to collect, grade
and sell their product. The results just
announced by the Tobacco Growers
Cooperative Association show that CO.
operative marketing has actually more
than doubled the prices obtained a year
ago, and has supplanted bankruptcy for
prosperity for the farmers.
The successful example of the Ken
lucky growers has spread like wiIdfire
to the neighboring states. The growers
of Ohio, West Virginia. Indiana, North
and South Carolina, Wisconsin and the
Connecticut Valley are now organizing
similar cooperative associations. The
lri-State Tobacco Growers Co-opera-
tive has been formed by $4,000 grow
ers IN three states. controlling more
than 65 % of the crop and owning or
leasing over $50 warehouses. They
have bound themselves by five-year
contract, modelled on the fruit and the
wheat growers plan, which amply pro-
tects the cooperative against the plots
OF private buyers. In addition to rails
ing $lO.OOO,0O0 locally to finance this
huge crop movement, the Association
has been granted a credit of $3O.OOO.-
600 by the U. S. War Finance Corpor-
alton, SO sound are its method and its
management.
The cooperative achievements of
the tobacco growers are encouraging

THE AMERICAN CREED

The many laws enacted, overriding
the bill of rights set forth in the con.
stitution of the United States hardly
entitle the American government now
adays to be called a government of
the people. by the people, and for the
people. FOR some years past, as at
present, 1t seems to be a government
OF, for. and by plutocracy. There will
be no lack of loyalty to America when

The Cult of Naturalism" had moth
ing TO do with the world war. Dues
tons Of science. of evolution or in
Simultaneous creation were not the is
sue. neither were they mentioned. In
satiable greed of money-mad financiers
the instigators and sole beneficial
ries of the war-was its cause. That
such type of men is the fittest to sur
vive in the struggle for existence will
have to be shown. 1t may be quite
possible that they and their whole sys-
tenn will be thrown in the discard, as
a proof of their unfitness to survive.
To blame the theory of evolution for
the world war is childish in the ex-
IRENE; and to imagine evolution will be
discarded because of such an accusa-
tion is perfectly silly.

The only actually valuable things in
this world are those that are useful,
beneficial. and make for the elevation
and improvement of mankind. All that
incites and panders to vanity or is used
for spoliation, enslavement, and de-
graduation of man is not valuable, but
harmful and detrimental to the exact
extent and degree that it either directly
or indirectly injuries a single person.
False values imputed by vanity or ar
bitrarily created by human law or Gus
tom, are in no sense valuable at all.
All history points to them as the chief
sources of human misery.

U. S. Senator Thomas E. Watson,
from Georgia, died suddenly at his
apartment in Washington, D. c., on
Tuesday, September 26. Watson was
a man Of strong convictions and pre-
JUDGES, and fearless opponent Of con-
scription and other sumptuary actions
of the Wilson administration during the
world war. For more than 81 years he
has championed the cause Of the peo-
pie as he saw it, and battled for demo-
cratic principles. when others feared to
open their mouths.

The only real problem confronting
the world to-day is the problem of ad-
justing human relations on the basis
Of equality and reciprocity.
Colonel Goethals said to Roosevelt,
Help me solve our human problem and
the canal will dig itself" So it is in
our industries. our railroads, cur coal
mines. The trouble is men have put
the emphasis upon the wrong place.
This is not an animal, but spiritual
problem. Men talk of living wage,
but the cosmic urge is for a more album
dant life. Give the worker that and all
these things shall be added good food,
good clothing. good housing.

President James c. Stone, of the Ken
lucky Growers Cooperative:
I'VE have associated ourselves to-
gether TO market our tobacco in an or
derby fashion. We will get more mon
ey. it is true. but the Association is big
ger than money. Tobacco is the first,
but other things can and will follow.
This IS the beginning Of an age of asso-
citation of farmers.

Nothing can ever be right until it
