latlon between cooperation and casl
buying. The farmer always has bee,
the victim of the cash buyer AM
stlil we have farmers who profes:
to be human; demanding in high dud
geon what justly belongs to them
denouncing those who, presumably
are grinding them into the dust. Their
tney turn over their products to the
cash buyer without question or con.
side ration, knowing that he is there
only for the profit, and are opposed
to the thing that offers them a reaj
opportunity to obtain the things thew
profess to want. They apparently
nave lost sight of the fact that sue
cess is not considered from the point
OF the individual but rather in terms
OF the community. 1t is time farmers
ceased cussing them and considered
thelf own short comings. We see
farmers that take advantage of the
farm Loan system. the public utili-
ties, in fact all the benefits of organ
lzed society without qualm of con-
science and then deliberately cut thei,
nelghbors throat, and, like a swim
ming hog, slowly hack their own
then cap their folly with a prepos-
ferrous conception of their own Gun
ming.
But the cruelest dig of all is the OBJ
positlon OF a psuedo-cooperative or
ganization that can offer NO other
proof of greatness than their success
In selling crop that has thus far
sold itself. 1t don't take any great
ability to sell what the people want.
But try to sell them something thew
think they don't want that is where
the rub comes. The attitude of this
organization tallies with that of our
lndlvidualists but lacks the justifica-
ton and fails to secure the charitable
attitude we accord the individual
because this organization is man.

IN considering broad minded.
We of the Three Rivers Growers
are striving to do our best with what
we have. What success we have had
can be traced to that sincere endeay-

from cash buyer, organizations and
even among the men who should be
our friends. In the face of this an
tagonism we are willing to play
square, to go better than half way.
We will meet them all. friend or en-

New Way to Kill Elephants.
"A red letter day is celebrated
among African pygmies when an ele
phant is killed. When they smell an
elephant in the vicinity of their en-
campment the whole tribe is called
into action. They climb trees in the
path they believe the animal will
take. Then, jumping from limb to
limb. the hunters spear the animal.
and by so doing cause him to collide
with trees. thus virtually making him
commit suicide.
"Once assured the elephant can do
them no harm, they swarm over him
like ants and cut away his flesh for
food. They have no way of preserv-
ing the flesh, SO they are apt to hover
about the carcass until nothing but
the skeleton remains. Tusks are hid
den, to be traded for tobacco and
salt, which are among the few
pygmy luxuries."

HOUSEWIFELY OPIATE FOUND
IN GREASELESS FRYING PAN
American Electrochemical Delegates Also
Announce Silver and Vanity Gases
That Will Not Tarnish.

the American society here this week.
There was a time when chromium
plating was confined to the laboratory
and in the hands of the searching ex-
perimentalists; it was a Temperament
tai sort of thing. One day chromium
could be plated beautifully upon other
metals and the possibilities Of its use
would be glowingly apparent; but the
very next day, try as he might, the
scientist could not manipulate the
process. 1t was Prof. Fink, then, who
four years ago discovered a method of
making the process as certain as cold
business instead of fiighty as the tenn
permanent Of artistry.
Now chromium plating, which is the
basis for the predictions that have
been made, is done on a commercial
scale. Four plants have been erected
for the process and the work that is
being done is no longer confined to
the industries, but is to include the
home.
The nature Of chromiunl-which, by
the way, is found in the earth's crust
in greater quantities than nickel and
is consequently cheaper-is such that
water will not wet it's surface. I'm

No More Sticking to Pan.
AS lard is used in most cases in
frying merely to keep foods from
sticking to the pan. 1t now Is to be-
come unnecessary because the water
in the food will not adhere to the
chromium-platedu utensil.
In vanity cases or jewelry the
chromium can be plated over the
purest metals to protect the surface.
Color variations can be obtained, ac-
cording to Prof. Fink, by the addition
Of nickel, since chromium is of a blue
tint and nickel is yellowish. AS an
artist mixes his pigments, so can the
chromium platter compound his metals
to produce the desired color. Prof.
Fink has given to the manufacturers
Of jewelry a white gold which will not
tarnish, but will retain it's platinum
white luster indefinitely.
The industrial world already knows
that corrosion in boilers can be re-
sisted in a practical way by plating
the steel boilers with chromium. Au-
tomobile manufacturers are using the
element in place Of nickel, and bright
work on their machines is given a nom
furnishing finish, which need be wiped
only occasionally with a dry cloth to
intensity its polish.
And 80 while men in industries have
for at least two years been aware of
the gifts of the rder-than-nickel
metal, housewives can now join them
as recipients Of its gifts. In the mean

THE BOGARTS BUY MUCH
NEW GRILL EQUIPMENT

Mr. and Mrs. X. D. Bogart return
ed recently from coast cities where
they bought modern equipment for
their new electric grill in the new
Herman building.
They bought three unit coffee drip
percolating urns, automatic egg boil
ers which boil your eggs to any frac-
tion of the minute you wish, heavy
duty electric toasters, automatically
toasting on both sides at once, cleo
trio aluminium waffle bakers, hot cake
griddle for flannel. cakes, hot bread
warmers, drinking water filters that
chill the water through block tin
coils, automatic vegetable washers
and peelers, steam dish sterilizer, and
many other things.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bogart's many years
experience in camps, restaurants,
clubs, cafes and hotels over this
country has enabled them to select
equipment for the electric grill intel
ligently and with a view to serving
the public in a sanitary and efficient
manner.
