The World and All
IN NEW YORK
By Charles p. Driseoll

IN NEW lORh
Ralph Waldo Urine was in to see me. and | had an
interesting visit with him. He is the author of in
Tune With the Indinite," a book that was first issued
thirty years ago. and has sold nearly a million copies.
ne has written several other books. but this one 4
known TO more people than almost any other modera
book. Charles NJ. Sheldon's I'm His Steps" sold many
more copies, but its sale was chiefly during a period
Of a few years. and l doubt that many people buy il
today In Tune With the Infinite" is as popular now
as X was thirty years ago.
Three generations Of the present royal family Of
England have read and love this remarkable book.
Queen Victoria praised "In Tune With the Infinite"
and last Christmas the Prince Of Wales, having read
the book and admired il, bought a copy for his father,
the king, as a Christmas present.
Mr.. Urine is a kindly, conversational man. and
doesn't appear to be nearly old enough to have written
a book thirty years ago. HI is full Of maxims and
little sermonettes about life and living. He once IT.

mas derived much inspiration from Mr.. Trine's books.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives
Larger Farmer Business
Organizations

A definite trend toward the formation Of larger
farmer cooperative marketing organizations in the
United States to effect greater marketing economies
was declared now in progress by J. F. Booth. economist
Of the United States department Of agriculture, adj
dressing the international pool conference at Regina,
Saskatchewan.
Other tendencies in cooperative marketing enumer-
ated BY Mr.. Booth include recognition Of the need for
stronger financing; adoption Of a form Of organization
suitable to farmers. their economic customs and the
trade conditions under which the commodity is to be
marketed; modification Of contracts to suit the needs
Of members; greater application Of sound business
principles; and appreciation Of the peculiar manage
ment problems arising out Of the members relations TO
the association as owner and patron.
THE size Of the producing unit" Mr.. Booth said,
"will probably always remain comparatively small, ie-
spite the fact that the size Of farms in the United
States shows a slight increase in late years. Not so
the marketing end, however. Here there is a distinct
tendency toward combination Of effort. Farmers are
~enlarging their cooperatives and extending the scope
Of their activities. In 1915 there were 5.424 associa-
tions in the United States engaged in buying farm sup
plies and selling farm products. Today We know OF
10000 associations with a membership Of more than
100000 farmers. doing a business Of approximately
s.. 100000 a year.
Mr.. Booth outlined the historical development 81
cooperative grain marketing in the United States and
Canada, and declared that conditions in the respective
countries have led to what might be referred TO rs z
community point OF view in the United States, and in
Canada 70 a viewpoint that considers the wheat-pro-
ducing industry as a whole. In Canada. he said, the
experiences of more than two decades formed a nat
ural setting for the development and successful OPP
Grafton Of the wheat pool, whereas in the United States
quite the opposite situation prevailed.
"But in spite Of the fact that farmers in the Unit
ed States have not given the SUPPORT to large-scale
grain marketing associations that might by expected"
Mr.. Booth concluded, there are some indications of
renewed interest in the matter. Many believe that
farmers Of the western states will not long continue
their present methods in the face OF continued success
of large-scale grain market efforts in Canada"

Agricultural Prosperity

American agriculture will be prosperous or unpros-
percus, dependent largely upon farmers recognition
of world economic conditions and upon how completely
the farms Of our country are adjusted to prevailing
world conditions, Lloyd S. Tenny, chief Of the bureau
ot agricultural economies, U. S. department Of agricul-
turc, told members Of the Vermont State Chamber Of
Commerce in annual meeting at Rutland, Vermont,
Jure g..
"Agric4iturally. he said, "the world Il smaller to-
day than the state q Vermont was a hundred years
ago. The farmer a vernont or the farmer Of Iowa.
today. is influenced more by conditions in Great Brit
air, Argentina, Australia crd other parts Of the world.
thaa the formers Of Vermont one hundred years ago
we're ;nfisc-ced BY the happenings in the state Of New
York. Tne American farmer must recognize this
change IN agricultural conditions"
Mr.. Tenny described the various services rendered
by the bureau of agricultural economies which deal
with the collection and dissemination Of economies in
formation and which have a direct bearing and influ-
ence upon the Individual farm. He said that fifteen
years ago there were no national standards for agri-
cultural commodities. There is now a national inspee-
tion service on many farm commodities. the quality
Of more than 100000 carloads Of fruits and vegetables
having been inspected and certified By the bureau The
last twelve months. There was no disinterested mar
ket news information fifteen years ago, but now almost
a complete national, and even world service on aeri-
cultural products is rendered BY the bureau to pro-
ducers, distribution agencies and consumers.

To what depths Chicago had descended in the al.
lance between politics. law and crime is illustrated
anew by the Indictment Of Charles s. Wharton on
charges Of participation in the famous $l33. 600 mail
train robbery last February at Evergreen Park. III.
Wharton was once "the boy congressman from
the stockyards district. Later he was assistant TO the
now notorious Robert E. Grove. states attorney of
Cook couny. Federal authorities have evidence that
the train robbers, before they held up the train. en-

their loot in his house and left him $4,000 of il as a

That such things >an even be charged against a for

processes that are probably normal and commonplace
in a community where United States senators sorrow

Nevertheless, those who are preaching to would-be
criminals the doctrine that il does not pay must find
in this Evergreen Park case solid justification for their
theory. The crime was beautifully planned and carried
ont. Everything was carefully rehearsed and perform
ed according to plan. The train was stopped and robbed
