CLUB A GOOD MODEL (liy Homer Norton) The Newaom Creek Habblt Club, of I'ohI, Oregon, wa organized January 2S, It 16, The original purpoae of the club waa to combat the Jack rabbit peat In the vicinity of Post, within defi nite boundurle agreed upon by the member. The destruction of the crop by rabblta during the aunimer of 1(15 and the following winter waa ao great that It waa evident aome dras tic action muat be taken, A meeting waa called at the achool houae and the club, with fif teen determined member, waa or ganized. After a thorough dlscus alou of the matter It appeared that the only effective way of reducing the destruction of the peat waa by the payment of a email bounty. 1 100.00 caah wai at once subscrib ed, which amount waa lncreaed later on, and a two cent bounty wa decided upon. The alaughter at once began. The decided aucceaa of thin local bounty by which thouaanda of rabblta were destroyed within the boundarle of the club induced the club to make an effort to get an Initiative measure for a bounty In Crook County upon the ballot for the geiierul election in 1916. Thl measure was pushed with a vim that swept away nearly all opposition and the measure car ried by more than a two-thirds vote and became a law. During all this time' the membership of the club wua growing and hn ao continued until at the present time there are fWIW ' ' - ' . f -' . . 1 . fifty-three regular member, tblrty flve social mem Iter and two honor-1 ary member. With the pauge of thl bounty! law the club began to realize there j are great beneflta to be derived ' through an organization of thlaj kind. The original object had been accomplished, but the member had learned other valuable lesson. The, aoclal beneflta resulting from the meeting had been great. A warm er, more friendly aplrlt of nelghbor llncaa had developed In the com munity that waa unmistakable and It became at once apparent to all that there still waa work to be done. The club wa reorganized on broader llnea, retaining it old name. It wa Incorporated Into the conatltutlon that the purpoae of the organization I to protect the In terest of the members and to pro mote the general welfare of the community. The fundamental principles upon which the club owe It ucces ha an organization are talrnesi, hon esty, Justice and liberal mlndedness In all of the club work. A strict adherence to theae principles haa won the respect and confidence of the public. Since its organization the club has had occasion to appear before the Honorable County Court, In the Interest of road Improvement and other matters of Importance a num ber of times. In each Instance the delegate have gone before this honorable body In a aplrlt of friend ly cooperation, feeling that they represented a cause hasnd upon justice. In each case they were re ceived and heard with due respect and their wishes granted to as great an extent aa seemed fair and JuHt under existing circumstance. To our Hon. District Attorney, Wlllurd 11. Wlrtz and to Guy l-afollette of the Crook County Journal Is the club especially in debted for valuable service render ed, and aa an expression of appre ciation the club, at a meeting early In the year unanimously extended to these gentleme a vote of thanks and honorary membership in the club. The good that such 8 club can do If they work together in harmony, with due. consideration for the opinion and personal feelings of each member Is hardly realized by the member tbemaelves. Regular meeting are held each month whether there is business of importance to be transacted or not. This Is the only way to keep up in terest and be ready for business. E STOCK ASSOCIATION (By N. C. Maris) September 9th, 1906, a few of Oregon's enthusiastic breeders and moat ardent supporters of livestock Improvement met at the State Fair and organized an association bear ing the above name. f hey were ploneera and builded better than ! they knew. Not only baa the organ- j Ization lived, but it has grown stronger in membership and In in fluence year by year. On ita mem bership list I found the name of nearly every breeder of pure bred atock in the state, and a perusal of ita minutes shows that it has sup ported all, and Initiated most of the legislation that has been passed in the Interests of the livestock indus try in Oregon. Among some of the more import ant results of the efforts of the association might be mentioned the creation of a state Livestock Sani tary Board; a Stallion Registration Board and the securing of a special 110,000.00 appropriation for the Oregon Livestock Exhibitors at the Panama-Pacific International Expo sition. This association also took the Initiative in securing the estab lishment of an Animal Husbandry Department at the Oregon Agricul tural College, and also furthered the interests of the stockmen and farm ers by securing the appointment of one of Its members, Hon. C. L. Haw- ley, as a member of the Board dt Regent of that institution. The organization has always stoot sponsor for the best Interest of the State Fair, assisting the Fair Boar, in securing the passage of all deslrw able legislation. The plans for tk present system of barns which hato served the fair so satisfactorily tk past few years, were furnished by this association. It Is largely through its efforts, too, that tm nearly uniform livestock showlaj; classifications have been secured. Many other breeders' association have come Into existence In tkt mean time, in the interests of spec ial breeds, but in this one parent association, to which all breeds look, alike, do they all meet upon a cosa mon level, and the breeder of ta chicken, the pig and the goat Job with the breeder of the horse, that sheep and the cow of whatever breed, to fight to the finish Un common battle of the pure-bre against the scrub.

RIGGS PRINEVILLE, OREGON SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE THE NATIONAL CO-OPERATIVE REALTY COMPANY At Your Service The Information In this pamphlet is com piled for those who have property to sell or who have money to invest. No matter bow valuable your time, It will pay you to read every word on this sheet. Hereon you will find our co-operative meth ods fully outlined and how we quickly and successfully And a purchaser tor your prop erty, or find property you may wish to ourchase. ' Our Organization The organization, of which I am a mem ber, consists of thousands ot specially train ed, live, hustling, up-to-date real estate men, each of whom has taken a sctehtifle course of training under the Immediate supervision ot the head of this great Organization. This army ot trained experts Is scattered throughout every part ot the United States, Canada, Mexico and Cuba, and through my connection with them I can quickly and successfully handle property anywhere. Co-operation Our Watchword Did It ever occur to you what has been consummated In the affairs of the world through the combined efforts of many to accomplish one certain object? Did It ever occur to you that with the co operation and assistance of a handful of followers Mtltlades withstood a whole army at Marathon? That by the concentrated efforts of many who co-operated the French monarchy was overthrown? And looking hack but a few years, through the co-operation of Cuban patriots, Spanish butchery forever ceased and Cuba took her place among the nations ot the world. Our State and Federal government Is the result ot co-operation. The liberty which we all enjoy Is the result of co-operation. Surely none will deny that through the In fluence of co-operation birth was given to jur Republic and that co-operation nour ished the seeds ot liberty, the fruits of which we still enjoy. Every corporation Is a kind ot co-operation, and' we all know that corporations con trol the most profitable business of the world. The great industrial combinations and trusts are examples of co-operation on a still larger scale, and no one can doubt the benefits ot such co-operation to the insiders. Considering the above, does It not occur to you, my friends, that our army of hus tling, up-to-date real estate men will be able to accomplish for you the desired result and In the shortest possible time? This army ot men, who have buyers tor all kinds ot property, and who have all kinds of prop erty for buyers, stand ready to serve you. They stand behind me that is why I am sending you this leaflet. Value and Location Immaterial Somewhere there is' someone who wants Just such property as you have for sale. Somewhere there Is property that will Just suit you. Through our organization, I can quickly find a buyer tor property or property for a buyer. Write me your wants. I have specialized in handling property quickly. I have made it a scientific study under the head ot this great organization ot which I am a member. Our system has been tried and proven and we know will pioduce satisfactory results. List your property with me today or write me how much money you have to invest and what class of investment you prefer, and it only remains for me to find the other party, through our successful co-operative system, and thus the deal is quickly made to your entire satisfaction. Through our system you will get every penny your property is worth and you will gel a square deal. Make your price fair and I am ready to prove the merits of our system. List With Me On receipt of your letter authorizing me to find you a buyer for your property or authorizing me to find you a certain class of property, I send a brief description tor insertion in our Official Bulletin, which goes out to our army of co-operators throughout the country. Anyone having a customer for such a property or an owner ot prop erty that will suit your demands, will write me immediately. In fact, a great many will probably write, with some ot whom a deal will undoubtedly result to your entire satis faction, profit and advantage. My Advantages No agent without this army of co-operators behind him can possibly give you the -prompt and satisfactory service that I can. The local agent without any outside con nections at the best has but a very limited number ot prospective customers, while with our system we have practically the whole country to draw from. I have every advantage that other local agents have, in addition to the great organi zation standing behind me, anxious and willing to render assistance from every point. Transactions Private In a great many instances the owners of property desire to sell their farms, resi dences, business or other property without making the fact public. Every man should be entitled to keep his own private matters from the general public if he so desires. While listing your property with me the strictest privacy may be maintained and jour name will be withheld until a Bale is practically closed. Even your closest friends need not become aware that yon have even offered your property for sale. If you have money to invest, write me in strictest confidence, stating amount or about what class ot property you desire, and I will submit propositions in the same confi dential manner, or if undecided what class of investment to make, let me submit our best propositions for your consideration. Not Tied Up Listing your property with me binds you in no way unless I make a sale. Should you close a sale yourself or through ' other sources, you will owe me nothing. You will only owe me a commission when I have found you a satisfactory customer. Should you for any reason desire to take your property off the market after it haa been placed in my hands, you can do so by simply notifying me to that effect. Service and Charges My. connection with this great co-operative organization makes it possible for me to handle your property or requirements quickly and to your entire satisfaction. Even though my facilities are much better, my charges are no greater than the ordinary broker having only a limited opportunity to serve you. I charge only the ordinary local and regular rate of commission for my work when the deal is closed. Ours is the largest organization ot Its kind in the world, and we must necessarily make many sales to cover the enormous expense of carrying on and conducting such a vast business organization.
