 Howard Jones, who won his greatest fame while coaching at the University of Iowa, is not far behind Warner as strategist.
 For that reason, the coming battle between Stanford and South crn California promises to be more than a contest between two great rivals. It will be a battle of wits between two of the games leading coaches, Glenn Warner and Howard Jones.

 Undoubtedly Warner will miss Ernie Meyers. A player of the calibcr of Meyers cannot be dropped from the lineup without imposing severe handicap.
 Meyers, you will recall, is the player Warner pronounced the greatest he ever coached, not eX- cepting the illustrious Jim Thorpe.

 Southern California boasts one of it's greatest teams. The experts on the coast favor it 10 win over Stan ford, but Coach Glenn Warner has a habit of upsetting the dope. He has been doing it for years.
 Last season Southern California was well liked over Stanford, but Warmers team came through with 13-9 victory after a thrilling battle.

What part does the coach play in football? We shall see when stan ford meets Southern California.
 These two great elevens clash at Los Angeles October 30 and another football epic is sure to result. Re gardless of the relative strength of the two elevens, a meeting between Stanford and Southern California always is worth while.
 It will be a battle of wits be- tween two master minds when Glenn Warner of Stanford pits his strategy against Howard Jones of Southern California.

Came too soon.

Oh, how he hates thase
Communists
They are his lifelong foe
And all the world Is full
Of them
Where else Is he to GOT

Praying for the commu-

STREET CLEANER

O cleaner of streets!
o handler of broom and shovel!
going up and down the streets,
sweeping up the dust
And the dirt and the dung,
day after day after day,
And nobody giving you tumble,
And nobody giving a DAMN
Whisper it into the ear of God,

"Oh, I just dread those
ugly caterpillars," said
the daughter Of a veal

saying so. she stepped on
every one that she saw.
By the time she was
ready to step on the

so she sat down and soon
found IL crawling on her

TN the Northwest we find success
1 full consumers cooperative move
ment. Over a hundred cooperative
stores, altho Independent and locally
controlled, are federated thru their
own cooperative wholesale, the Co
Operative Central Exchange, for COM
mercial and educational purposes.
Many a story could be told. how
isolated, purely local cooperative
stores were helped out of chaos and
bankruptcy thru the efforts of the
wholesale. And now the situation is
such that all the stores which are in
direct contact with the Cooperative
Central Exchange are standing on their
own feet and are continually reaping
benefits from the experiences gained
in common.
Sales and other Figures.
At the present complete data have
been compiled from about 40 co-opera-
tive stores affiliated with the Co
operative Central Exchange. The fig
ures are for the year 1925. Net sales
were $2,s56, 2S4.11; gross profit, s444,-
S23.3S; total expenses, $347, 1868;
total net gain. $119,121.24.
Resources and Liabilities.
These same cooperative stores
showed the following resources:
Cash on hand and in bank, $751;
222.72; accounts and notes receivable,
s2sS.75S.97; merchandise inventory,
$425,625; real estate, $42S,754.7S; fix
lures and equipment, $134,93S.37;
other resources, $51, 4813 total re-
sources, s1,4O5,6S211.
Liabilities: Borrowed capital, 1874
771.3S; accounts payable, s1S5, 661.85;
other liabilities, $56,41135; share cap
ital (paid in), $412,5O472; reserve
funds, 1921, 9O5.22; undivided profits,
s94,426.59; total liabilities and net
worth, $1,4O5, 6S211.
Expenses as Compared with Private
Stores.
For the first time in the history of
the American cooperative movement,
we have available comparative Stats
tics as to the expenses Of cooperative
stores. The data on the cost Of pri-
vate grocers are compiled by the bu-
reau of research of Harvard Univer-
sity and comprises the average Of 545
retail grocers in 1924. The statisti-
cal department of the Cooperative

cost of AZ cooperative stores affiliated

THE CAPITALIST
DREAM

One day a Capitalist
was very tired so he told
his servants that he was
going to take a nap and
that nobody was to both
er him. Presently he fer
asleep and was dreaminu.
ne dreamed that a
worker walked toward
MIN with a quarter which
was burnt red hot and
looked like a gold piece Of
money. The worker told
nlm ne was too poor 10
Keep lots Of money and
that the Capitalist could
have II.
The Capitalist made a
grab for II and instantly
felt a burning pain In the
palm OF his hand. He
yelled to the worker that
he would have him hana.
ed for giving him that
red-hot quarter.
The next moment he
woke up and found out
that no forgot to throw
away his lighted cigar
and the cl6ar had burnt
his hand.

TO The PAssAIc STRIKERS.

TO THE PASSAIc STRIKERS.
Hail to you, Passaic strikers,
Hail to you, you iron band,
Know that your courage shall live forever,
In the minds Of workers all through the land.
Poverty, hunger, starvation, your lot,
And yet you did not bend
Under the strain Of tired body and mind,
Your fight has many friend.
Strikers heated to rebellion,
Women and children helping, too,
They have come for mass demonstrators
Ali There we see some coats Of blue
Blows are raining the strikersB
Men beaten, women fall
And the screams of terrified ehiIdre@
Can be heard over ALL
You've done your work we'll, you damned sIugge
You've beaten and bruised women and men,
But the Day of freedoms before us,
And we'll be the masters then.

The total of various expense items
is: Private grocers, IS per cent, and
cooperative stores, 1916 per cent.
The corresponding gross margins
were 1913 per cent and 1858 per cent
These figures prove that co-opera.
tive stores can be successful and OF
benefit to the consumers, even il
America.
Cooperative Capitalization tells the
same story. Last year the gross prof
or the Cooperative Central Exchang,
was 7.31 per cent and the expenses
were SIG per cent. The correspond
ing figures of privately owned whole.
sales of the same size were lis pei
cent and II per cent.
Educational Activities.
These cooperative stores do not
limit their activities to commercial
matters. This summer the stores
have shown great activities on the ed
ucational field. Every Sunday there
has been some kind of cooperative
picnic or mass meeting. The masses
have shown lively interest. One of
these picnics, held at Chisholm, Mimi.
was attended by a crowd of about
5000 people.
The program at these picnics, as
wen as at the indoor entertainments,
was comprised Of speeches, music,
etc.
In addition the Cooperative Central
Exchange helps the local stores in
their educational activities by furnish
ing leaflets, a monthly magazine, the
Cooperative Pyramid Builder, and ad-
vices on various subjects. During last
year the exchange issued 10000 leaf
let's on seven different subjects. About
5000 circulars, dealing with educa-
tional questions, were mailed to the
educational committees, employees and
boards of directors of the societies.
The main task in the educational
work has been to connect the isolated
co-operatives with each other for com
mon purposes, and to get the masses
to understand that the cooperative
movement is a working-class move
ment and thereby a part of the gen
eral labor movement.
A United Front.
Altho small in comparison to this
big country, this movement in the
Northwest has proved that the CO.
operative movement in America has
possibilities. The cooperative stores.

Lewiston, Nov. 1.-two fur coats

Gently from the T. ]. Murphys fur
store on Ash street by two young
girls, members OF local families ''in
good standing" Max Beaulieu, local
private detective, had the young wo
men in custody six hours after the
theft was discovered following an in
ventory taken OF the stock. The gull
ty party has the management of the
fur company to thank for not pro-
scouting the case or revealing the
names to the public.
Two young girls, not over 16 years
in age, walked into the store last
week and priced several fur pieces.
One set her heart on a Japanese
mink coat valued at about $3.50 while
the other was interested In a coat
costing about $780, While the clerk
attending them was In some other
