joyed the bountiful dinner. Ice

that included q wide range o.
tempting dishes.
Ben Pattison OF the State Farm
Bureau office was the speaker. He
stressed the rise OF cooperative
organizations In this country. The
outstanding feature OF such organ
iEations, he said, is that their prof.
its are divided among the custom
ers according to the amount OF
their purchases, while the old type
business pays Its profits in divi.
dens to a few stock holders. The
cooperative movement has entered
the field OF manufacturing farm
machinery, operating oil refineries,
and is just now getting into the fer
tilizer business.
While some business interests
are antagonistic to this program,
Others see in It day OF greater
prosperity for the farmer.

trict manager, who succeeds Ray
Smalley in this territory, was pres
ent and made a short address.

sponded with brief talk 'on the

ing games under the direction OF
