FORD CANADIAN COMPANY MAKES
BIG PROFIT BUT PAYS HIGH WAGES

ey. NThe original Investment, and the
only Investment ever made outside Of
profits left in the business, was the
modest sum Of $125, 900. But. DESPITE
paying high wages, the Ford Canad-
ian Company has paid its shareholders
stock dividends Of $6,e75, 600, and cash
dividends of $27, 100000.
Last year it paid cash dividends Of
more than $5,000,O00, equivalent to
nearly 5000 per cent on it's original
stock. But that is only a part Of q
story that rivals the tale Of Aladdin
and the magic lamp. In addition to
vast dividends, this company has de-
veloped assets in Canada Of more than
100000 900, all out of its amazing
stream Of profits.

COWAN TELLS COUNCILl
OF COOPERATIVE PLAN
FOR COUNTY FARMERS
Cooperation in Marketing
Means Better Produce at
Lower Prices, Says Cowan

Following an appeal by Robert Cow
an, county farm agent, before the Alb
erdeen Central Labor Council last
week, W. L. Brackinreed, president Of
the council, assured Mr.. Cowan that
organized labor of Aberdeen was
whole-heartedly behind the farmers Of
Grays Harbor in their efforts to form
a cooperative marketing association,
and in their struggle to eliminate the
middle man who takes al the profit.
In his appeal Mr.. Cowan reviewed
the history of the cooperative market
ing idea, pointing out that it started
about three hundred years agon in
Switzerland and has attained point
of high efficiency in other states and
in other nations today.
"The cooperative egg association
,ere is an example of what we hope
to do for the producer of foodstuffsi 7
Mr.. Cowan said, "and if we have the
support of the buying public here our
plans will be successful. The farmer
is the victim of speculation engi-
neered by men who have never raised
blade of grass in their life, and as
result the farmer is the most poor
ly paid individual in the country to-
day"
"He pointed out that a cooperative
organization here would insure the
working man an abundance Of excel
lent foodstuffs at all times and a reas-
enable price, and would prevent "cor-
ners" of any one commodity, such as
those engineered in sugar, potatoes,
corn and coffee and practically every
other man-raised product. III

The speaker contended that the
Christian Church, in spite of its weak
ness and failings, is the biggest and
most helpful institution we have,
most intimately and vitality concerned
with the higher life of the community
It is the institution that dares to face
the whole social program of human
betterment and is honestly trying te
carry out the, program of Jesus TIC

moral collapse. For this reason it de-
serves the goodwill and hearty sup
port of all good people.

"THE PURSUIT OF THE BEST
BY EDWIN A. RALPH

"Covet earnestly the best gifts Paul
Live ever in the presence of the
best" Henry G. King.
A few common facts underlie this
counsel of the apostle of old and the
teacher of today.
l. There is a difference in values
and costs.
2. We choose, and perchance pay for,
one set of values or. another.
In other words there is world full
of values at our disposal, and world
full of people choosing such values
as they prefer and are willing to earn
Two other common facts are equal
ly clear.
l. There are things we cannot afford
20 secure however easy they are to
gain, or however small their cost.
2. There are things we cannot af-
ford to be without however hard they
are to gain, or however high their
cost.
In other words, some things are ex-
pensive at any price, and some things
are cheap at any price.
From these plain observations, it
may readily be concluded that a two.
fold task falls upon each and every
individual.
1. To discover what values are best,
what things are real, what things add
strength to life.
2. To develop the capacity, to disci-
pine the mind and will to the end
that the best things be secured.
No freedom FOR this task is allow
able in circles where people are in
diligently seeking the proper expires,
sion Of life.
A very practical question faces us
on this day of rejoicing over the Sc
curing of this beautiful House of
Work and Worship. Is this our ven
ture, really pursuit of the best?
The choice has been made, the direc
ton has been taken, the costs have
mounted. And they will continue to
mount, which is proper. We have no
right to life,s best save as we cheer
fully face the costs. But are we bark
ing up the right tree? Are we actual
ly pursuing the best? Or are we un
wise devotees of a cause that flour
ishes solely because of misplaced
emphasis today on things that will
give place tomorrow to something
more real and abiding?
These are not flippant, impertinent
questions. Life is too short and toe
serious; values are too many, and toe
varied, to excuse our loyalty to 9
vanishing cause. or to an enterprise
inferior to some other institution, the
embodiment of an ideal. 1t is not uni
versally respected or trusted or sup
ported-not even in this beautiful vii
lage 1t is scorned and maligned an(
jeered at, the woSld over, and pei
chance here, too. Is it true, or no
true that the Christian church comes
within the list of the values that w,
cannot afford to be without? Is i

Special Choir Selections, Solos and
Instrumental Numbers Well Given

In recording the success of the
dedication services of the First Con-
gregatienal Church, due mention
must be made of the choir and must
cal numbers arranged for each ser
vice.
Under the direction of Mrs. Ben F.
Strong, organist of the church, fitting
music was arranged for the various
services, including solos by Olof Val
ley, an accomplished bass, special an
thems by the full choir and appropri
ate instrumental numbers. The new
church provides adequate accommo-
dations for a large choir and it is
the intention of those engaged in that
work to make it a feature of the
church services.

the tragedy of this materialistic age
in which we are living that it blinds
us to the spiritual and renders us in
capable Of knowing soul values.
Many good, honest people, who are
good citizens leading exemplary
lives, like young lothian of old have
lost contact with the church and have
no vital share in its worship or it's
program Of service.
The speaker maintained that this
is both unfortunate and inconsistent
because of the example which en-
courages the neglect of a habit which
is essential to the higher life and
practices of the people.

no man goes to church unto himself
and no man stays away from church
unto himself His example is bound
to be contagious for good or for i'll
In ways that are subtle or unknown
he is helping to direct others to the
ascending path of higher ideals or to
the descending path of lower ideals,
there is a psychological suggestive
ness in the sight of company of
people going to church on the Sab
bath, and the greater number who
have formed the habit, the better it
will be for the higher life of any
community. | maintain that every
good man ought to go to church, not
only for his own sake, but for the
sake of his boys and girls and his
neighbors boys and girls and for the
sake of other men who are more ex-
posed to the grosser temptations of
life.
He told the story of a prominent
business man whom the minister had
come to like as he met him at the
club, but never had seen at church.
When he did not respond to the min
listers plea to come to the church,
the latter remarked playfully: "Oh,
| know you're a hardened old sinner,
and you probably wouldn't get into
Heaven even if you had a certificate
of church membership in your pocket
but I'm not thinking of you so much
as | am thinking of the young fell
lows in this town who look to you
because you are about the most pros
porous man in the town, and because
you boycott the church, they pass it
up, too, and that's all wrong. They
need them. He also used the in
cident of a certain Judge in Boston,
who some years ago became indif-
ferent to his church and ceased to at
tend it until finally he was suddenly
startled one day by the thought borne
in UPON his mind that God and Christ
were gradually passing out of his
consciousness, and he came back into
the church and took up his response
