DECLARED BY
ASSOCIATION
Big Y Mailed Notices This
Week Advising Members of
Distribution of Surplus for
Season 1926.

Notices were mailed this week
by the Yakima Fruit Growers As
sociation advising its members of
the distribution of the surplus for
the season of 1926.
Being a cooperative organiza-
ton, it is required by law to trans
act the business of it's members
without profit. For the purpose Of
enabling it to transact its business
a per package handling charge is
levied, based on the experienced
costs of previous years, plus a mar
gin of safety to care for unforeseen
contingencies that may arise. AT
the final close of the business for
the year, all the unexpended sur
plus is refunded to it's stockholders
in proportion to the amount they
have paid for service.
"When the association charges
are low, yet by the application of
sound business principles, close at
tention to details and the installa-
tion Of labor saving machinery, a
very substantial saving has been
made" Mgr. H. w. Desgranges
said.
GA cooperative organization is
quite different from the ordinary
stock company, in that its profits
needed for the operation of the
institution is returned to the mem
Der stockholder in proportion to the
amount of business he has trans
acted with the association. The So
called dividend is in fact no divi-
dend at all, but refund of, the
money paid for service, which was
not required to perform the SER
vice. When it is said that the Big
"Y" is making money, and it does,
it means that it is operating for
less than the charges imposed and
that there will be larger pot to
divide among the members at the
end of the season.
The Big sY' is now In its 18th
year. Many of its original trus-
tees are still serving on the board.
It's problems for a number of
years was to secure enough tom
mage to operate efficiently. That
is all changed now. The big prob
lem now is to provide sufficient
facilities to handle tonnage offer
ed. Although it has its own cold
storage space for 1900 cars and
dry storage for an equal amount,
it was forced this year as early as
June to discontinue to take on more
tonnage. 1t will handle this year
more than 5000 carloads, being the
largest shipper in the Yakima Var
ley. The past year, two small CO.
operatives have come to the Big
sY'."

this number about 80 to 40 per

Reclamation on More
Permanent Basis Than
Ever Before-Larson

Government reclamation is on q
more permanent basis than ever
before according to A. E. Larson,
chairman Of the Yakima Chamber
of Commerce reclamation commit.
tee and head of the executive com.
mittee of the Yakima Valley Re.
clamation league, who spoke at q
chamber membership meeting al
ibe Commercial Hotel in Yakima
Monday.
The Yakima valley work should
be finished in eight or nine years,
he pointed out, following the ten
year plan adopted by the United
States reclamation service. Two
hundred twenty two thousand ad-
ditional irrigated acres should re-
suit, which would be enough land
to about double the population of
tie valley.

Florida boom was beginning to crack
and thousands OF small investors
throughout the country were anxious
and puzzled as to the real state of
affairs the editor OF large national
woman's magazine looked around for
some one to make report on Florida
conditions. That person he knew must
be Clear-sightcd. impartial and of un-
impcachable reputation for veracity.
So he asked Miss Tarbell to under
take the task. She departed for the
South Immediately. and two weeks
later The first of series OF articles de-

the charge that our pictures are delib-

They misunderstood our war pictures
over there. In some quarters they think

OF What Price Glory
What the English Believe.
The English think they are going to
build up the motion picture industry by
this quota law. The quota law will not
build up this or any other industry,
To-day more pictures are being made in
England than is necessary for this
quota. Just another case of disgruntled
producers who cannot sell their own
pictures, and who then turn and try TO
tear us down."

They are under no obligation to ac-

blind booking in England. All big
American motion picture companies
and a few smaller ones have their own
foreign resident representatives. They
establish their own Offices and sell their
pictures to foreign exhibitors. in bulk.
usually, They may buy them in bulk.
or by the individual picture. Only they
will have 10 pay proportionately more
for the single picture than they would

Would feature pictures be made at
loss by American producers without the
promises OF exportation?" We asked. II

consideration before the American pro-
ducer.

after a moments thought. ION account
OF the tremendous expense of produc-
ton. It is impossible to get exact fig

around 80 per cent of the total receipts
from big pictures come from their for

Shorn OF all petty questions. the
American motion picture producers will
have 70 fight for supremacy instead Of
pursuing primrose path Of non

This struggle was bound to come
