COLONY COOP
 PLAN DESCRIBED
 IN NEW BULLETIN


 The following excerpts are taken from the latest bulletin issued by ne Iatanrgka Valley Farmers As soeiatioa, whose slogan is "Matan- uska Maid for Alaska Trade" These excerpts will give the reader fair Y comprehensive idea of the plans for the farmers to market their prod rc.s:
 0a have been talking about con sumer cooperatives. There are also
 duces cooperatives which market thei- members products. The Mat aa1ska Cooperative is a combination of both. As consumer cooperative, lt will eventually own, operate and reesHe the profits from all of the enterprises n the Palmer Civic Gen. ter. These will include:
 The Trading Post; the Warehouse; The Barber Shop; The Craft Shop; The Cabinet Shop; The Postofhce Building; The Canney-Creamery; The laundry; The Power Plant The Hatchery; The Inn or Dormitory and The Staff Houses.
 The Cooperative may buy these uuirz from the Corporation as fast zs | builds up a working capital ard can take them over. These en- terprises will give the cooperative members a good source of income. They will be managed by a person. nel selected by the Board of Direc- tors If the Coop. The Coop mem bers eject their board of Directors.
 The A.R.R.C. will help to support the Cooperative for three years. By mat time, the cooperative should
 ge huilt up a cash reserve so that
 5g-oe its own buying and
 facilities. Stock will soon be fa1 ale at $500 a share to persons za yhe alley eligible to membership.
 The Trading Pest is already good, paying business. Within the uaxt couple of months it will be
 z~red to the Cooperative. How
 dividends will be counted .4 purchases made since the first of February. This means that you may become one of the shareholders of the Trading Post by joining the Co., operative. And for every dollar you spend al your cooperative store, you will receive dividend at the end of six months. The more you spend here, the larger your cash dividend will be. If you buy s400 worth of food. clothing and supplies, your dividend will be twice as large as another members who buys s2O0 worth. Remember to keep your cash sales slips fom now on, so that you can get your dividends.
 There is no reason why your store should not become, like Swed- en's cooperative stores, the finest in the >ountry. By next summer we z -pect 10 give the space now used by --e general and accounting offices to the Trading Post. These will be used as display rooms for the hard ware and clothing departments.
 Your cooperative can build up prosperous and hourishing business for the Matanuska farmers. The more business your cooperative store does, the better business it will be- come. The best way to bring that about is to BUY COOPERATIVE" i"

Difference Between American

differences between the official or Fed

rs an emergency measure to provide

and land and acquire it in his own
way. He will mortgage it and may
lose it, but his tendency is to begin
again in the same old way. He will
also find that the ice has scarcely
been broken here-the surface hardly
scratched-and must take into con-
sideration that England for more than
so years has made study of housing.
In the lower income scale of housing,
social service plays much larger part
in the program in England, Sweden
and Denmark than in this country.
Much that is done there would be
styled boondoggling here. There,
amusement centers are a prominent
part; tennis courts. golf courses, rec
reation halls for dancing and other
community activities, such as home
making, domestic economy and more
convenient school facilities. In Hol-
land, where the progress in housing is
perhaps most noticeable, more atten-
ton has been paid to providing schools.
Secretary Ickes Agreeable
To Giving Information.
Secretary of Interior, Mr. Ickes, has
signified his intention to have the
Duke of Windsor furnished with any
information under his department. 1t
is reported that Mrs. Roosevelt has
expressed a willingness to lend her
help where it will be most useful.
Both the President and she know the
Duke personally and knew his father.
Mrs. Roosevelt will lecture at Vassar
College on the evening of October %
on The Role of Women in the Hous-
ing Program" VaSsar is introducing
into its curriculum program of in
struction in housing and home-mak-
ing and has arranged series of SEM
mars and lectures in which some of
the foremost authorities on housing in
the United States will take part as
speakers and leaders of discussion.
Mr.. Nathan Straus of New York, re-
Gently appointed administrator of the
United States Housing Authority, and
formerly member of the housing
authority of his State, comes with
large experience and wide reputation,
having made housing studies in the
United States and elsewhere. He will
doubtless give valuable assistance to
the Duke. Senator Wagner, whose
Wagner-Steagall housing act will fur
nish Mr. Straus with s526, 100000 to
carry on his work, can give practical
information.
Then he will find over in the Central
Housing Administration the largest IL
brary on housing in this country or in
the world. Resettlement Administra-
ton will be another source of helpful
ness. And. to say nothing of Mr.. John
Ihlder, executive officer of the District
of Columbia's Alley Dwelling Author
ity, who can tell whole mouthful
about housing all over the world. He
can vision in few words how alley
slums can become golden streets of
happiness, which will help largely to
eliminate crime and make a useful,
self-respecting citizenry. He can come
nearer to painting the lily than any
known expert on housing. There is a
story going around that if John Ihlder
went up to Heaven and got a look-in
at the golden gates he would advise
st. Peter to make all the golden streets
"one-way" and turn the mansions into
model alley dwellings! BY the way,
Mr.. Ihlder is also on the Vassar Col
lege housing program and will speak
there next month on The Role of
the National Government in the Hous-
ing Program"

COTTON DECLINES
|. TO NEW LOW MARK
Increased Hedge Selling
Brings Recession of Six
to Ten Points.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, September 1l.-Cotton
slowly declined into further new low
ground today under increased hedge
selling, but persistent trade buying
absorbed offerings at each point de-
cline. December eased from 1898 to
8.9l and closed at the low with final
prices to 10 points net lower.
The market opened l point higher
to ! lower. An increase in Southern
selling, however, gradually filled up
price-fixing orders at limits on a scale
down. The October, December and
January positions all sold below 9
cents and while there was consider
able resistance to the reactions,
Southern hedging and liquidation con-
tinued throughout an active session.
The fact that spot cotton had eased
below 9 cents on the average at the
10 designated markets was believed to
have been responsible for the heavier
hedge selling.
The forecast for fair to partly
cloudy weather for the belt over the
week end was considered favorable.
Amount of cotton on shipboard await
ing clearance at the close of the week
was estimated at $4,000 bales. against
$4,000 last year and $4,000 two years
