Exports of domestic manufactures

While they will not of course equal

by about $500. .000,O and those of
the fiscal year 1922 by more than
$400, 900 600. and will also be much
greater than in any year preceding
the war. The latest figures on the

continue at the same rate during
the remaining three months of the

cooperatively-you will come to it
sooner or later, or else go out of
business. This is just as inevitable
as the tides. The only question is
whether you are going to decide to
market comparatively now--this year
or whether you are going to wait
la few moro years before you take
advantage OF the opportunity to
pool your wheat.
Mr.. Peteet explained that North
Dakota is among the first of the
states to receive attention in a ma
tional way in wheat marketing
Kansas is also in the throes of a
campaign and Indiana is successful
ly organizing pool, Oklahoma, ac-
cording to Mr.. Peteet, already has
approximately 80 per cent Of the
1924 crop contracted for the pool,
with a possibility of reaching GO
per cent sign up before harvest.
The eyes of the nation said
Mr.. Peteet, are on North Dakota.
IF you fail, you set back the whole

ceed, you give a new impetus to the
whole movement; you restore to
the growers control Of their own

URGES WHEAT POOLING
Walton Peteet, Secretary Of
Cooperative Bodies, Speaks
in Bismarck

| j., Cooperative marketing has come
to be among the biggest busincs.
| of the country, Walton Peteet OF
Chicago, secretary of the National
Council of Cooperative Marketing
Associations, told an audience in
the city Auditorium last night.
The southern cotton pool will
handle $500,000,000 worth Of cotton
this year. he said. The California
fruit growers and the southern to-
bacco growers pool both run into the
hundreds of millions of dollars, he
said. The pooling Of wheat in the
Northwest is not a bigger business
than these, he indicated.
Where Farmer Suffers
Farmers are the only large class
of people who sell at the buyer S
price and buy at the sellers price;
the only class which has no voice
in determining values of the COM
modities it handles. A farmer S
prosperity is measured by the diff
ference between what he buys and
what he Sells
Mr.. Peteet showed that the rea-
son for the inequalities which exist
in agricultural prices is individual
selling. Other industries long ago
adopted policies Of group selling
he said. Farmers. of North, Dakota
or any other state will never be
able to sell their products individ-
ually at Il fair value. Wheat selling
is, in a way, like trading horses.
When a man trades horses, he is
really putting his own knowledge
of horses against the other fellow S
and the man who knows the most
about horses gets the better of the
trade. 1t is the same way with
wheat. When a farmer starts out
to sell his wheat, he~puts his knowl-
edge of wheat conditions against
the knowledge of the buyer. But
the grain dealer has expert knowl-
edge of the worlds market, and the
general conditions of business and
commerce, while the farmer has no
knowledge of any Of these things.
At Buyers Mercy
Until you are in a position to
know as much about the value of
your products as the man who buys,
you are really at his mercy. In

VANDERBILT
CHILDREN
ON BUDGET
Learn Financial independence
at Home by Having an
Allowance
BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS
NEA Service Writer

The universal problem of produc-
ing harmony between the income
and the expenditure is one that
should be tackled early in life, ac-
OF ding to Mrs. Frank Vanderlip.
So as soon as each one of her six
children was old enough to want to
buy, he was put on an allowance
and today they are all learning
laboriously the limits of a limited
income.
And as soon as they are old
enough to know what they need to
wear, and have some knowledge of
quality, they buy their own clothes,' -
she told me.
my eldest daughter, Narcissa,
can actually buy to better advan-
tage than l can. She buys few
very good gowns and pays good
prices for them. Then she copies
them and makes all her simple
things for herself. If she had to
she could support herself with her
needle, l believe.
Zone son doesn't care much for
clothes SO he buys them very thrift
lily in order to have more of his al
lowance for books and electrical
equipment that interest him more.
"They are solving their own prob
lens much better than l could do it
for them and they are learning when
a bargain isn't bargain.
GAS soon as one of the children
finds his allowance inadequate, he
must not merely ask for money, but
! present his accounts and show evil
dcncc that he needs an increase from
| headquarters
Mrs. Vandcrlip also feels very
deeply that all of her children
should not only be trained for 4
profession or trade, but should feel
an urge to express themselves
through their work.
Il want my daughters to be teach
crs,' she told me, because there is
a shortage today of good, conscien-
tious, we'll trained teachers. Tho
modern girl doesn't realize what 4
possibility for service teaching Of
fcrs.
IF l had not married l should
have taught geology-that was my
dream until my husband came into
my life. hope some time in the
near future, when my family i:
reared and doesn't need me so much
to teach English.
Mrs. Vander!ip has found time So
far to do much constructive worl
outside her home. She canvasset
for suffrage in the campaign days
has been active as an organizer il
politics and is prominent in the Lea
que of Women Voters.

day of their lives in the ramifica-
tions of the trade. You haven't
time in your life to produce and also
make yourself equal in marketing
knowledge to those with whom you
deal.
1T is only by pooling wheat and
employing exports that the farmer
can hope to compete with the or
ganized grain buying business
Mr.. Peteet declared that there is
Il great deal of misunderstanding
regarding the purpose of cooper
ative marketing. Many are under
the impression that pooling only
aims to save some Of the handlir"
costs, which the farmer pays on his
grain.
Real Purpose of Plan
The real purpose is to eliminate
the whole wasteful practice of blind
and to substitute a plan Of orderly
merchandising. By merchandising
I mean selling by the farmers in
the same way that business men
sell, their goods, as manufacturers
sell automobiles, or as the Steel
corporation sells steel rails. We
mean putting wheat where it is
needed and IN the quantity in which
it lis needed and securing the price
that market conditions justify. Yot

avoid criss-cross railroad hauls, ane
will secure whatever a fair price
