Correction :
Yesterday's Observer stated in a
local brief that M. A. Harrison and
O. T. Bylngton returned from. Lar
amie, Wyo., "after being on the road
from La Grande to that city only
Monday morning." It should have
read -Mr. Harrison was on the road
from Monday morning until Wednes
day evening.
"Of course, it's Schilling's"
Do you believe
in the double
standard?
Schilling Coffee is for those' who will
not tolerate "cheapness" in their own
. homesand who appreciate the same
' standard in those who make their
coffee. The Schilling roasting room
is th.e only place in America where
cheap coffees are not made side by
'side with good coffee. There is no
Schilling ' double fff
standard no confu
sion of quality for
Schilling believes that cheapness is
contagious. There are several good
coffees but yhere is the finest apt
to come from?

price obtainable on a tonunisaiou
basis. ..-
"There is, however, a distinct dif
ference between the objective of the
farmers' national and that of any
other grain merchants. The grain
merchant naturally tries to buy his
grain-as cheaply as he can and sell
as high as he can for the purpose of
making as .much money as possible,
which no one can object to. The
farmers' national, however, bids for
its members' grain as high a price as
it possibly can to enable It to sell
the grain without loss, plus the nor
mal fees, handling charges and com
missions. "Although the average price of
grain has been low during the past
season. It is my belief that its in
fluence has -Increased the prlco or
grain for all growers at least soven to
ton cents ' per bushel over what they
would have received If the farmers'
national had not been operating' -Answers
Criticism.
Answering criticism of the lending
of money by the farm board, Mr.
Stsne said such loans wore absolute
ly necessary because of the difficulty
cooperative associations experience, in
obtaining necessary credits,
"I plight say at this point, how
ever, that t has been the policy of
tho farm board to encourage all co
operatives to use the commercial
banks and federal intermediate credit
'banks to the fullest extent and a
In run nnrt. rf tlin mnnnv Irmnprl hu t hn
farm board has been supplemental to I
loans obtained from these sources."
Corporation farming, Mr. Stone
held, is not the remedy for arm Ills.
"I do hot think.11 he said, ''that It
is wise to advocate any system which
will tend to eliminate the individual
farm unit, which, If done, would ser
iously affeot tho rural life of our
country.' The same results sought by
corporation mass 1 arming can be od
taliied through cooperatives, ho d"
olared. ' . ;
In the opinion of P. E. Murphy,
Minneapolis published, good farming
Is doing a .better Job tjian any "po
litical hokus pokus." Mr. Murphy
said there were no real "hard times"
In the northwest. He said it was
principally in grain or cotton dis
tricts, single crop regions, that the
"wall of distress is long and loud."
