MY CRYSTAL BALL
Memories of a Busy Life
 by EIisabeth Marbury

If for no other reason than the fact that Miss Marbury is locally known, her book of memoirs would possess much interest for residents in this sec ton of the state. But one does not have to know Miss Marbury or even Of her career Io find her book one of the most interesting and stimulating Vol tunes of reminiscence of all the many that have appeared in the pastf four or live years. Here is a distinct and unique personality. wise, sagac iotis, observant. tolerant of weakness and foibles, soundly admiring of ability and accomplishment. Through the course of half a century Miss Marbury blends with the absorbing story of her own career her memories of authors and playwrights, of actors and states men. of politicians and political strug gies. There is humor apienty. apt anee- dote that in the writer's individual style gives to many well-known per sonality new and interesting aspect. Miss Marbury has not criticized. one sometimes wonders why she has handl- ed all of her subjects so gently, but there is always throughout her story an undereurrent of the lndomitaole courage and labor that led an Ameri- ean girl in the days when business was unpopular for women, to say the
 least. to carve for herself unique career as pioneer play broker, d sort of consulting erflneerfors 5the American drama fn period when the American theatre was an infant industry destined to' grow to colossal proportions Bat N sa Marbury's story is not all of the the atre. but of other artists. of world characters whom her own mentality and ability must have invited to the intimacy which she reveals. There are, too, chapters which tell of her own admirable var work. and finally
 her summing up of present day condi- tions of politics and society, set of chapters which dcne would make a noteworthy and commendable book.

load his wagon, some trader heard
that there had been heavy dew In

John was driving of the scales, the
King Of Madagascar died and the
bottom went out Of the market en-
tirely."
This, of course, is an exaggeratlon
but 1t illustrates clearly the sort of
fluctuations that destroy the farmers
profit under the old style Of market
ing. 1t illustrates the sort Of thing
that the growers in other branches
have overcome by orderly marketing
OF their products-regulating the
supply at the point of consumption
rather than at the point Of produc-
tion.
Even a.brief outline Of the growth
OF cooperative marketing would re-
quire dozen articles OF this length.
1t has taken many years to evolve
sound principles. It took twenty
years for the cooperative growers
to learn that their organization must
consist of growers only, II 1t were to
be successful. Twenty years more
elapsed before they fully realized
that the organization must be one of
service to the grower, and individual
profit to no one.
In view Of this gradual growth.
the success Of the movement among
the beet an wheat growers Is remark
able. In three years. the producers
have gone as far as the orange grow
ers did In 90 years. In another
year or two It is safe to say that the
wheat growers will be fully az strong
as these pioneers now are.
1t Is to these pioneers, that the
credit goes. They have stood the
grief Of experimentation. and they
have pointed the way toward inde-
pendence for farmers. The one ans
wer Is orderly marketing-coopsra-
tion.

HEREFORD COMES

'aymer dropped their third game
4 Sterling last Sunday. The
game was late In starting, and the
local boys did not start with the
game at that. The visitors got In
their work early and piled up . good
lead.
The Raymer batters found the ball
reward the close and piled up four
OF tive scores in the last two innings.
But It was too late and the visitors
were too far In the lead to win.
The final score was . to s in favor
Of Sterling.
Next Sunday Hereford comes here
for their third meeting with the
locals. Each side has one game to
their credit, and this is bound to be
interesting as both are out to win.
The Raymer enterprise., 1923-09-13

Cooperative marketing has devel-
oped because of necessity.
in every community where early
experiments in the cooperative mark
citing OF farm products were begun,
1t developed because the farmers
found they could not make money
under the old system.
As far back as 1866, the Danish
farmers began experimenting. They
were driven to it by necessity. The
Prussian war had almost ruined the
country and the grain industry, her
chief farm industry, had been made
improbable by American competi-
tion.
Today the Danish farmer Is the
most prosperous In the world. Co
operative marketing solved the prob
lem, although ii took many years to
work out.
In 1883 the California orange
growers were driven to cooperation
because Of the fact that unscrupu-
lous commission men east had been
reaping all the profit, and the grow
ers had been unable to obtain re-
dress because of the long distance
from their pricipal market. The de-
velopment of the present system, as
has been pointed out. was a slow
one, Many things had to be learned.
and many mistakes naturally were
made. But today more than S5
per cent Of the citrus crop is handled
comparatively, and the remaining Is
per cent is comprised mostly of fruit
grown by hotels and fruit companies
Other growers, prompted by the
need Of making more money, have
followed the example Of the Califor-
MIA fruit growers, until today the
ralsln growers, the tobacco prod,ic-
ers, the cotton farmers and a score
OF ether groups are benefiting by
the experiments so laboriusly and
painfully worked out by the Danish
and California pioneers.
| The farmers of the middle-west-
the beet, the potato, and the wheat
growers--haye been the latest to
take advantage of the cooperative
plan. They too have been forced tc
DO so by conditions which have cut
down their profits; conditions which
