COOPERATION IS ESSENTIAL
TO PROFITABLE AGRICULTURE

Fifth, the pooling system is found
ed upon the principles of justice and
brotherhood. Each member receives
the average price according to grade
and distribution is made at stated
periods and the final settlement at
the close of the year. This assures
fair prices to all, and does away with
the necessity of dumping your grain
or the market as soon as threshed.
Sixth, the pooling system will ulti-
mately own it's w machine of mar
keting. Zone cen a bushel on every
bushel of wheat over a period of five
years will create a sum large enough
to own local and terminal elevators
to conduct the marketing. Then the
farmers will possess the machine of
as we'll as the machine of
production.

Shanghai Telephone.

Esperantists and others interested
in the development of a universal
language should take not that in the
Chinese city of Shanghai a new uni
versal language is now virtually in
use over the telephone. The popula-
ton of the city is so heterogeneous,
there being 81 different nationalities
according to n observer, that it was
found necessary to adopt a special
language In making telephone calls.
The language adopted was "pidgin"
English, which is familiar to every
American who receives a "checkee"
from his Chinese laundryman.-Tele-

COMBINED FORMS OF BELIEF
Christian, Greek and Oriental Teach
ings Mixed in Ono Formula by
the Ancient Gnostlcs.

The Gnostics were a group Of a n
cient heretics, famous from the rise
of Christianity. They did not consti-
tute a distinct sect, but were more
nearly a complication of many sects.
The Gnostics claimed to interpret the
teachings of Christianity in a philo-
sophie manner, and in so doing com
bined Oriental theology and Greek
philosophy with Its doctrines. The
principal tenets Of the Gnestics were
as follows:
Belief In one eternal God.
Countless generations of aeons ema-
mating from God, and representative
Of the divine attributes.
The essential evil Of material sub
stance.
The existence of a demiurge lin
ferior god) by whom the world was
governed. He was the Old Testament
God, and hostile to the Supreme Be
ing.
These tenets were revived In Spain
by the "Priscillianists" In the Fourth
century.

EXTRA SESSION
UN-IMPORTANT

Washington, July 29.-There is
little likelihood of an extra session
of congress this summer or fall, as
urged by Senator Brookhart of Iowa,
it is generally agreed in Washington.
About the only demand made by
members for an extra session have
come from Senator Brookhart and
Magnus johnson, senator-elect from
Minnesota, both associated with the
progressive group dominated by Sen
ator LaFollette. The Lafollette bloc
opposes a session now, as it desires
until fall to arrange its legislative
program.
The LaFollette group, which will
hold the balance of power in both
houses of the 68th congress, will
gather at a bipartisan convention in
the fall. Committees appointed at
the progressive conference last De-
cember will report.

INSPECTS REGISTERED
PURE SEED FIELDS

/. j. Jensen, assistant agronomist
of the Montana State college, is in
Roosevelt county this week inspecting
registered fields of pure seed of stand
ard varieties.
Roosevelt county has made a very
good start in establishing a good
foundation stock of pure seed and it
has been found that only through the
strictest methods of inspection this
seed a be kept pure. A year ago
Roosevelt county was the only county
that had all of its growers pass the
inspection and it is expected that the
same standard of work vii be con-
tinued this year.

so in a week I went back. But the

Victory, Marquis and Grimm

The growers in the county have
standard varieties of Victory oats
and Canadian Marquis wheat while a
number of growers are starting in on
registered Grimm alfalfa however
the alfalfa growers will not be re-
quired for inspection the first year.
1t is the aim, through these growers,
to keep a constant supply of high
class seed constantly developing
throughout the county from year to
year and to give the farmers in the
county a constant source of high
grade seed without having to go a
great distance and pay an enormous
price for the same grade of seed

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-The atti-
tude Of optimistic conservatism, en-
braced by most Of the bond distri.
tuting houses in Wall Street, was
emphasized today by Charles G.
Hood, a member of the investment
banking firm Of Jelke Hood & Co.
while I can see little reason to
look for a buoyant movement in the
bond market in the next few
months" said, Hood, ut is always
possible to find market for high
grade bonds at attractive prices.
Investors are perhaps more discrimi'
mating in their selections than they
were earlier in the year, and bond
sellers have found 1t necessary to
reduce the prices on q number Of
their offerings in order to insure
their absorption"
The course Of the general bond
market, Hood declared, win be
strongly influenced by credit sup
plies and borrowing rates, and any
one who can correctly predict the
trend Of money rates will be in the
best position to take advantage Of
the opportunities In the bond mar.
ket. Hood attributes the falling off
in demand for investment securities
this year to the smaller net earnings
Of capital in many OF the industrial
enterprises. Heads Of these con.
Germs, he declared, were compelled
to cut corners In order to meet the
increasing demands Of labor and the
higher costs of raw materials; hence
the dwindling surplus available fol
investment in prime securities.
"In the financing Of business and
residence buildings" said Hood
millions Of dollars have been flow
ing into real estate bond issues
This 10 rather new in the bond buSi
ness, and some investors have beer
apprehensive as to the solidity oi
the new bonds. Generally speaking
real estate bonds should be classified
as high grade investments, provided
proper safeguards are used in theil
issuance"
Lack of confidence in either thC
good will or the ability of foreigT
government leaders to solve theil
problems, Hood declared, caused the
growing aversion of American In
vestors to European government
issues.
He also pointed out the renewa
i Of agitation for the removal Of the
tax-exemption feature from munici
pal bonds would undoubtedly cause
some unsettlement in that market
The acceptance of the tax-exemp
amendment seems quite remote a.
this time, in view of the fact tha'
