NEW KIND IF CHAMP.
TO OUR LIKING.

Susie Hetlock, %, claims the
dishwashing championship of the
world Susie works in the kitch-
en- Of the Pantall Hotel in PUNK
sutawney, Pa.
Between meals, the kitchen help
got talking about the marathon
dancers-and why a marathon is
rarely attempted at some useful
task. Susie began boasting about
how long she could perform with
dishpan and soap. Bets were made.
Susie washed dishes 81 hours
straight without stopping. She
needn't worry about her laurels.
No danger Of marathon dishwash-
ing or any other kind of house
work becoming epidemic.
The question that started Susie
performing remains unsettled.
Namely "Why do endurance CON
testants almost without expection
waste energy on such trivialieiss
as dancing and running and rarely
at useful tasks?" f.,
Trying to figure it out you
become mired to the neck in
psychology.
Probably it's because a useful
task nearly always involves some
sort Of compulsion, against which
we all have an instructive spirit
Of revolt Not many centuries
since most of our anchestors were
slaves of one sort or other. Free
dom was a delusion, with the peas
ant toiling to support monarchs
OF other so-called nobility in grand
style. (Modern monarchies are
alarm clock and cost of livirg.)
Instinctiveiy we resent even the
rulership exerted over us by ma.
ture-her making it compulsory
for US to work if we want to sur
vive.
The less compulsory, the less
spirit of revolt. That's why pleas
ant working conditions and liberal
pay increase the average persons
efieiency-theoretically, at least
Revolving against compulsory
tasks, we gladly welcome anything
that doesn't involve compulsion-
for instance, recreation or amuse-
pdents-regardless of how much
labor is involved.
Remember how Tom SAWYER in
dnced his pals to white wash the
fence for him? He made the task
recreation by removing the com
2ulsory feature.
Willie will toll until ready to
drop in his tracks, building a
shanty or tramping with the Boy
Scouts. But he groans when ask
ed to go to the corner store OF
carry out the ashes.
= Considering our instinctiv,
Aversion to compulsion, it's a psy
geological mystery that we submit
Americus times-recorder., 1923-05-12

to any form of autbority-political
industrial or home. Whenever we
abide by rulership, it's merely ac-
ceptance Of the lesser of the two
evils.

SURPRISE PARTY AT THE
SCOFIELD HOME

Monday evening forty friends OF
Hyrum Scofield gave him a great sur
prise by walking into their home In
honor of Mr.. Scofield's sixty-first
birthday. 1t was a happy crowd and
there was a continual stream OF
laughter playing the many games that
had been arranged, from the time
wraps were removed until the call
came from the kitchen for all to be
seated, then came change in the pro-
gram in the form Of plate lunch,
which was so appetizing that there
were few words spoken while the
three courses were being served. Be-
tween the games several fine selec-
tions were rendered on the piano by
Mrs. Haven At 1890 all left the house
and had spent one of the most pleas
ant evenings Of the season and had
more than they done before
in a year.-Contributed.

important steps taken to crystalize
the work into concrete practical form.
The organization is firmly commit
ted to the policy of commodity organ
ization at the shipping point. That is,
the potato growers organize local po-
|tato associations and exchanges; the
apple growers organize separate
commodity organization for apples in
each district These commodity or
ganizations federate into central ex-
changes, thus applying specialized
methods to the prYper STANDARDIZED
tion and assembling of their crops.
After these various commodities are
put aboard the cars, the national SELL
ling problem is taken care of by the
ing domestic sales and export. Very
few commodities have twelve-month
shipping season. Some of the more
highly perishable commodities such
as strawberries, tomatoes, ETC., are ac-
lively in the market only few month
in the year, and such groups of gro
wers would be unable to maintain an
efficient twelve-month's sales mach
inc; therefore the inter-commodity
idea has been applied very successful
ly in this situation.
The Federation has 81 directors,
who are elected at the annual meeting
by the members. An executive COM
mittee of five directors exercise the
powers of the board between board
meetings. A commodity committee
permits the group Of potato associa-
tions to have special committee In
the board to look out for their partic-
ular problem. The apple growers,
likewise, have a committee, the deli
cious fruit growers, the vegetable gro
wers, and others, on among the list.
So, that while the organization is
centralized, it is likewise department
talized to obtain the concentration ne
cessary upon the problems Of each
commodity in national marketing. The
organization is a cooperative, aon-
profit, non-stock membership concern
Marketing at Cost
Marketing will be done for members
at actual cost. A retail, or estimated
amount of cost, is deducted currently
from the proceeds of sales through
the year, and at the close Of each year
the results of operations are ascer-
tanned, and any surplus above cost
is credited back to the members In
proportion to the amount each mem
Der has paid in to the operating pool
after the board first shall have deter
mined the amount to be held as re-
serve fund.
A revolving fund, similar to that
successfully used by California Co
operatives has been provided to take
the place of what would be called,
Capital" in the average profit cor
poration.
The financial backing Of the North
American organization is likewise |
available to the Federated during the
period of building the revolving fund. |

tunity for considerable social enjoy
ment during the day and evening, the
day being fine and people gathered
around by the scores both in and out
Of the building to visit and discuss
matters of reclamation and the prob
able effect of the enterprise. In the
building one room was used as an
assembly and the speakers gave ad-
dresses on the questions and problems
and prospects growing out OF the ele-
ction and the construction if the cleo
ton carries.
This election was merely prelimi-
nary step following the conventions
held a year ago at Pocatello where
the plans were formulated by the
representatives of the pople and the
reclamation service assisted by the
best reclamation and constitutional
lawyers who could be found, for 1t was
necessary to blaze new trails in franz
ing plans that would fit the needs and
the complications confronting them in
the legal phases.
Those voting for the reservoir vot-
ed for the formation of district to
finance it. They voted for the, cleo
tion of several directors to adopt the
financial plans and to call bond
election to be held later to submit the
definite contract under which the gov
ernment shall have charge Of all plans
and construction and shall act as the
financial agent, constructing the res
ervoir and providing for the collection
in future years of the individual set
tiers proportion of the cost Of it after
they have had chance to start rails
ing crops with the stored water.
Government appropriations already
made and now lying ready for use in
construction will revert to the general
fund If the contracts are not COM

struction by July 1, 1923.-American
