COOPERATIVE FARM
MARKETING NOTES
Progress of the Movement to

pamphlet and QUESTIONABLE on CO
operative farm marketing recently is-
sued by the State Bank Division,
American Bankers Association, has
brought out valuable information on
the subject from bankers, farmers and
state agricultural departments. It is
being used as campaign document in
the organization of cooperative mar
keting associations in various sections
of the country. farmers having adopt
ed Its slogan: "Put Agriculture ON a
Par with Other Big Business"
The movement on the part of farm
ers toward cooperative marketing as
b cure for their present economic
plight Is nationwide. There has been
notable progress in the development,
of such associations, some conspicu-
ously successful ones being In opera
ton at the present time. There have
also been some disastrous failures
among these ventures in cooperative
marketing, which is the Inevitable &C.
compartment of the progress of any
movement. The Banker Farmer"
published by the American Bankers
Association. says:
Cause and effect are operative N
cooperative marketing as truly as
they are in every other business enter
prise. An association will not neces-
sarily succeed or fail merely because
1t is a cooperative association, but be-
cause 1t conforms to or transgresses
from the underlying principles Of sue
cessful business operation. The move
ment itself Is of great national import
and the bankers of the country can
materially aid or retard its progress.
The responsibility of leadership In
rural communities rests very largely
with the country banker. 1t is his
duty to be informed on all matters re-
lating to the farmers well-being."
Modern conditions are such that ag-
riculture cannot be successful by In
dividual effort. To regain its position
as = basic industry, and as force in
national Affairs, agriculture must de-
pend upon organization and co-opera-
ton for economic production, for eco
nomic marketing and for the estab
lishment Of its proper relationship in
community life. - Howard Leonard.

CLEANUP OF HOPHEADS
BEING MADE IN CITY

Drug addicts are finding Winnie
mucca hard place to get along
in recently, for the city officers and
the sheriff's office are cooperating
in a general cleanup of this class of
undesirables. Recently an extremely
large hoard of hopheads have
gathered In this city for some
reason, and becoming too numerous
the cleanup was necessary. To date
four of the fraternity have been
arrested, three of them floated and
one held on a federal charge OF
possession of narcotics. In this
respect, Sheriff Brady says that it
is his intention to file federal COM
plants against every person caught,
hereafter, who has the prohibited
drugs on his or her person. A
Chinaman, Tom Lung, was hit over
the head and robbed a few nights
ago and this is thought by the officers
to have been the work of hophead.

RAILROAD FARES WITHIN
STATE TO BE LOWERED

Railroads traversing Nevada, Ari-
IONA and New Mexico must cease
by February 20 to charge passenger
fares at rates in excess of $50 cents
mile on their main lines, the in
terstate commerce commission has
ruled.
Complaints brought by the three
states were supported in part by
the commission in finding that the
railroads must reduce main line
passenger fares to the level which
exists generally in other parts OF
the country. The grand Canyon
railway as a whole, and the branch
lines of the Southern Pacific, SAINTS
Fe, Rock Island, Western Pacifi,
and other roads in the states named
will be allowed to charge rates a

Judge Callahan brought forth the
brief case and gave it to Senator
Sheehan with a few appropriate
remarks.
As Senator Sheehan arose the
applause was tremendous and ap-
parently it was fortunate for him
that it continued for a few mo-
ments, giving him time to over
come surge of emotions that an
observer could easily detect. As 1t
was, it required a moment or SO of
talking before he was his usual calm
self. He in turn paid tribute to
loyal friends of lifetime and ex-
pressed thanks for favors which he
had received at their hands. He
said that it is not easy to leave the
city wherein he has made his home
and friends but he found conso-
lation in the fact that he does not
feel that he is really leaving

spoke in glowing terms of his state

desire to ever leave it. The OPP

stated that he intends to keep all
of his business interests here and
that these will bring him back fire.

As Senator Sheehan warmed to
his subject it was noted that he
displayed unusual oratory and it
was with feeling that he said that
Winnemucca has always been his
home and he will miss the old
town sorely. He reverently ac-
knowledged that whatever credit
may be due to him for successful ac-
complishment should properly in
clude Mrs. Sheehan, who was born
here and has resided here her
entire lifetime, and who has ever
been his source of inspiration. He
said that if he has had hand in
the upbuilding of this community
he was merely repaying for honors
and worldly rewards received.
Senator Sheehan concluded his
talk by stating that the possibili-
ties for Humboldt county and Win
nemucca never appeared better
than at the present time. He said
that his hearers can expect con-
tinued growth and increasing popu-
lation. He expressed appreciation
of the show of friendship provided
by the banquet and said that the
token which he had received was
something he would remember all
his life and cherish. Senator Shee-
