Farmers Save Money
By COOPERATION
(By Federated Press)

New York-It cost the farmers of
Woodbridge, N. Y, less than 1 cent
per 500 for fire insurance last year.
They "wrote" their own fire insurance,
on the cooperative plan, and the re-
suits are told in bulletin issued by
the Cooperative League of America,
West 18th street, New York City.
With $4,330,66O of fire insurance in
force at the end of last September,
the expenses incurred amounted to
only $4,000 which included $4,000
in losses and only $1,000 for admin
istrative and operating expenses.
The Cooperative began business in
1918, and since that time has paid fire
and lightning losses totaling $114,721.
The members are charged premium
based on the losses and operating ex-
penses of the previous year. 1t is es-
timated that the saving to the mem
bers of this fire insurance cooper
ative in 1921 amounted to $4,000.
The company has $1,000 policies in
force, and there are 1,015 members.
Woodbridge is town of about 1000
population in Sullivan county and is
the center of half dozen prosperous
co-operatives, including two fire insur
ance companies, one automobile insur
ance company, and credit union or
peoples bank.

Social Standing Does
Influence the Courts

New York-The social standing of
business men makes them immune
from prosecution in state and federal
courts, is one of the scathing arraign-
ments of the Lockwood housing COM
mittee in it's report to the state assem-
bly,.
In discussing its attempt to secure
convictions under conspiracy laws, the
committee says:
"The judges, both in the state and
federal courts, have almost consistent
ly treated this class of offenders with
tender consideration. In one case in
the state court, in which the manufac-
turers of brick and dealers in building
materials were proved guilty of most
overt acts, consisting willful frauds
upon the public, the court allowed all
the defendants to escape with fines.
"The court in that case eXpounded
the extraordinary view that because
of the business and social standing Of
these men the humiliation of being
compelled to plead guilty to a crime
and the imposition of comparatively
small fines upon them was sufficient
punishment. The same point of view
seems to prevail with the federal
judges. There is no hope >of compel
ling obedience to these laws or of en-
forcing them so long as the courts
adopt this altitude"

KEEP THE DOLLARS AT HOME.

AS long as dollar bill is circulated
around here it is worth dollar to the
community. When sent away it be-
gins to enrich other places. 1t sell
dom ever returns. Keep the dollars
at home as long as possible.
Sending money away for articles
that could be purchased here is a dl-
rect blow to the merchants, the banks,
to the entire community-including
yourself.
All of US should consider this mat
ter-stop and think before sending
our dollars away that our cooperation
is necessary to the upbuilding Of our
community, and that, for our own self
ish advantages even with no other
motive, we really should patronize
home institutions and keep our dol
lars at home so that they can work
for the advancement of our own pros
perity.
We will find that it is fact, when
we consider the question from every
viewpoint, that we can buy as eco
nomically and as proftably from our
merchants as from anyone elsewhere.
And then We have the satisfaction we
know what we are buying, instead OF
buying "a pig in bag"
