NORTHWESTERN FRUIT
GROWERS PULL DOLLARS
OUT OF COOPERATION
Potato Men Can Do Likewise, Claim
Federated Growers

In the annual report of the Pehas
tin Fruit Growers Association of Pes
hastin, Wash, just issued, members
Of the newly organized potato ex
changes find cause for satisfaction II
their recent move for cooperative Or
ganization. The Peshastin Growers
organized under the same cooperative
principle as the growers Of Minneso.
ia, Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Maine, "cashed in" on cooperation
this least year in great shape. They
reduced handling costs; they financed
their operations; they cut down SELL
ing costs, safely and soundly.
And what happened?
Cooperation brought the members
better prices for their fruit than were
secured by any other group of grow
ers in the entire Wenatchee- Okano-
gan District of Washington, where
they are located. The association re-
turns on Grimes exceeded competitors
by 379 per box; on Spitz by sic;
Winter Banana, 24c; and Delicious
1920. The same story is repeated on
other varieties with the single ex-
ception of Jonathan, on which one
competitor exceeded the association
by 1-2c a box.
Commenting on this remarkable
showing, the Federated Fruit and
Vegetable Growers, of which the Pes
hastin Fruit Growers Association is
member through the Wenatchee-
Okanogan Cooperative Federation,
states:
THE spirit and determination of
the fruit men of the Wenatchee-Ok
anogan District is the spirit and de-
termination of the potato growers
now organizing throughout the coun-
try. The courage of the fruit men to
take affairs into their own hands and
see them through, is the courage of
the potato growers. The principle of
cooperative organization, the princi-
pie of cooperative marketing an dthe
principle of nation wide selling is
the collective principle that will
bring success to the potato growers
Of America.

THE INDIRECT MINING PROFIT

A statement was once made-it was
in Colorado-that if every producer
and wage Garner in and around Den.
yer would invest something in pros.
pecting for mines and in developing
mines he would reap a big profit II
he never received a cent directly from
mining. The advice was accepted by
many. Quite number received d.
rect mining dividends but everyone
received large indirect benefits.
All the geological reports show the
marvellous extent of the mineral de-
posts of Idaho. Here and there they
nave been explored, but, for the most
part the ground is virgin. In the
Occur dAlenes mining has become a
big factor-there and for the whole
state. Heavy production has followed
prospecting and deyelopment-but if
the same attitude toward mining has
been exhibited years ago in this state
as Is evidenced now there might have
been no famed Occur d'Alene mining
district.
There are other sections of Idaho
quite as promising as that section
was before the tabled mule kicked
the first chunk of ore from the hill
side. AS business proposition it is
up to the poole most vitality interested
TO do something about it, however, be-
fore outside investment can be expec-
ted. If we have anything else worth
while we develop it enough to make
a showing before trying to sell It.
We must do the same with our mining
resources
There has been much discourage
ment offered by wildcat operations
and stock jobbing schemes. The
same has been true of land develop
nents but we have not quit reclama-
ion or irrigation.
Maybe we cannot go down into our
leans and finance prospectors or take
financial interest in the development
If prosects with good showing-al-
hough we would have a great mining
state if we could all do something
along those lines-but we can at
east give our moral aid to this great
industry and rotect itfrominjustice.

Some people think that to incur &
debt at the bank Is unwise, or a re
nectfon on their business standing
Thls Is not the case where the debt
is contracted for legitimate business
purposes. Incurring debt to live be-

thrifty person would do. and careless
use OF credit leads to extravaganza
and disaster, but wise borrowing Is
an encouragement to thrift and in
dustry.
The first function of the banker Is
to encourage industry and thrift so
that a large fund of bank deposits
! may be accumulated. This fund Ia
often lfkened to reservoir in which
water Is accumulated for community
needs. The banker then loans from
this fund to those conducting the
business of the community.
The banker bases credit on what
are known as the three C's of credit
Character, Capacity and Capital.
Character Is an imperative business
qualification. Allied with character

His Schools Greatest Athlete

When the final whistle blew in the
basket ball game between Wisconsin and
Indiana at Bloomington on January s.,
Rollie Williams, star athlete Of Wis
consin. had tied the record of all time
as Wisconsin's greatest all-round aul-
lete. The record has just been made
public.
The Indiana game gave Williams his
eighth varsity letter, a feat uneQualed
since Guy Sundt in 1922 broke the
record of Eber Simpson. Simpson
made his record with seven varsity let
tiers in 1913.
In addition, Williams won his let
tiers when athletic competition was at
its height in Wisconsin IL is no de-
traction from SGhdt to point out that
he broke the Simpson record during the
period which was marked by S. A. II.
G. year when athletics were at their
low cbb in all colleges over the country.
But Williams honor is expected to
be the greater before the end Of the
school year. He is slated for a left
field berth on the varsity baseball team,
which would give him his ninth letter.
This would break all Wisconsin rec
Ords and make Rollie the greatest all
round athlete, officially, the Cardinal
has ever produced
Williams is the ideal type of college
athlete. There has never been any QucS-
ton as to his scholarship, as he has al
ways stood high in class and is Of n
studious type. He is personally popu-
lar outside of that popularity which
comes as a bit Of glamOr to the varsity
athlete.
One of the greatest hOnors Williams
can claim is the fact that as early as
his sophomore year he was mentioned
by Walter Camp as All-American mate

Trading Players Resolves Itself Into Game

\ major league swap can be classed
as a blindfolded lottery without libeliug

1t is legal in baseball business, but
as to. the winner and tie loser-well,
it is a snatch-grab exchange, with the
ultimate result, success or failure, not
known until months later.
Branch Hickey, manager Of the st.
Louis Cardinals, today is laughing and
shifting at Charles h. Ebbets and
Wilbert Robinson of the Brooklyn Su-
perbas. And why not?
Didn't Hickey exchange Ferdinand
Schupp and Harold Janvrin for Ed
Pfeffer during the summer Of 1921? Of
course he did
And didn't Pfeffer have one of the
most prosperous seasons of his long
career with the Cardinals during 1922?
And at the same time, move your
finger around the list Of National
League players and try to locate Schupp
and Janvrin. 1t can't be one.
Schupp now IS located with Kansas
City in the American Association
while Janvrin recently was released to

WHAT ABOUT BENTON?
Public Should Be Informed of Dark
Secrets" i'm Case.

Cincinnati, Feb. 10.-What is the
status of Pitcher "Rube' Benton, last
year with the st. Paul club of the
American Association?
Several years ago, when baseball was
shocked TO its very foundation by the
world series scandal and other similar
happenings, Benton was quietly dropped
from the roster of the New York
Giants.
No particular reason was assigned
for the action of the New York club
in allowing Benton, mighty good left
handler, to drift out of the majors.
Pitching for st. Paul last year, Ben
ton had big year of it. With a
dcarth of southpaws in the majors, the
Cincinnati club elected to bring Benton
back to the big show.
When it seemed as if the deal was
about to be closed, President johnson
of the American League came forth
with evidence in the case that held up
the deal.
Now it is said the Cincinnati club has
decided to let the matter drop since
both major league presidents have de-
creed Benton is undesirable.
What's the big idea? If Benton can't
play in the majors he should not be
permitted to play in the minors. II
tolerated by the minors, he certainly has
the right to advance to the majors.
Come on with the inside stuff, if
there is any.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 1O.-Secre-

The message, prompted by a request

read:
"The Navy Department is heartily in

by the cOmmandant that admission
charges are contrary to his instruc-
tons"
Mr., DENLY said he did not wish to
stop boxing on the training ship, but,
rather, he encouraged it. However, he
did not think anyone should promote
bouts on board and male a profit from
