H fOVDViLLS iIX MONTHS ACQ - Sound Advice In announcing that there ate 10,00(1 cooperative organ izations among the farmers of the United States and that 1,050 farmers' cooperatives disbanded during- the past decade, Secretary of Agriculture- Wallace points out thac ithe agricultural associations depend for their success more on management than on organization. Congress excepted ;tho farmers' combinations from the anti-trust and trade conspiracy statutes to foster genera! agricultural coopera tion, but in doing so did not assume responsibility for the 'organization and pcipetuation of the individual conibin latjons. I Secretary Wallace lays down ten rules for success in ('cooperation. He emphasizes the necessity of expert manage jment, for cooperation is more difficult than management of !n ordinary commercial enterprise. The membei'ship is 'large and the manager must consider the interest of each 'individual critic. Farmers should limit their cooperation to a single commodity, or at most a group of commodities, of such similarity that they can be marketed by the same machinery and methods. Farmers should cooperate as agri cultural producers, not as investors or shareholders, and they should seek simply to market judiciously their joint .product, without looking for a profit above the usual into of return on invested capital. Surpluses should go into reserves to protect the organization in hard times, and ac icounting is a primary need. Others may promise the farm- org more, out lew win deliver as niucn as uic secretary. His advice is based upon experience and knowledge, and is not the result of a dream or hippy thought. OFFICE CAT TRAQK M AH K BY JUNIUS (liy J. H.

It GAD THE CLASSIFIED ADS ' All Censorship Is Silly The scmito of the New York legislature has passed a ;bill' repealing motion picture censorship in that state. J ' Motion picture censorship, foolish efforts to enforce it, ;is nothing new. It would treat the motion picture, a jrrciit 'modem educating force, as the printing press was treated i three hundred years ago. U : In Cromwell's day they had censors of tho printing press. If you wanted to print a hook you had to submit ..it. to the official censors and let them kill it, or cut it to pieces. Then you had to file a copy of it at Stationer's Hall. If it passed with everybody's approval you might; 'print it. Busybodies felt that they ought to decide what others i'might print; that their judgment was reliable, that of .others, not. Hut, fortunately there were some powerful men living jn Cromwell's day. One of them, Milton, printed his boon on divorce, defying censorship, ignoring the Stationers Hall. Then he wrote his magnificent appeal for free printing. Jvithoul censorship or interference, and printed the "Areo- pagetica" regardless of the censors, lie had power enough to carry it through. And although they didn't repeal the law, they didn't bother him or (hire prosecute him, and rensorship of the piiuting press was a dead letter. ; The way to kill stupid censorship is to fight it. liusy bodies are cowards.

Phone Main 80 ' T an Sitting OnThc Value You bear very I'retiuenlly that man is "just a machine," 'a sort of engine that keeps going when the fuel, which is food is given him. IHit a man is mine than an engine; he thinks for himself, which an engine does not. And whereas ; more work may Ik; had from an engine by foicing. by sii , ting on the safety valve, it is not at all true in every in stance that men respond to foiling, to compelling. Often they break loose when there is too much repression. Too many effoits to control, to say "Thou shall," and "Thou shalt not," cause men to say "I will not," mal will," in the wrong place. Which is a vei.v good thing for professional reformers to remember. Their object should be the greatest happiness of the world, but often they seem to seek victory for themselves, for their ideas, rather than general happiness. Which is something for them to think about. The headlines indicate that the list of hazardous occu rations may yet include that of being a husband. II.v pi iv "Mi mi;.
