THE ONTARIO ARGUS, ONTAKIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1922 GHj (Ontario Argus County Official Paper An Independent Newspaper Published Thursdays at Ontario, Oregon, and entered at the Ontario post office for distribution as 2nd class matter. O. K. Aiken, Managing Editor SUBSCRIPTION One Year, $2.00 THE MODERN SPIRIT City folk sometimes entertain false impressions concerning the ef ficacy of cooperation among farm ers. The glamor which big corpora tions havo cast over their business and the stupendous organizations thoy havo built up through the cm. ployment of the highest priced ex ecutives and extensive publicity bureaus havo made the work of the great corporations known; while the work of the farmer's organizations, being more Individualistic and usual ly in the hands of men who are under paid, get very little publicity and naturally are over shadowed. But the farmors are accomplish ing many practical alms. They are building up their business. They are developing a spirit of co-operation that is remarkable. An example of the kind of co-operation which the dairy'" cow breed ers are manifesting and keeping In practice which should servo as a losson to the business men of practically every community, was told by H. R. Searles, extension specialist of Ames University, at Ames Iowa, whlio ho was In this section with tho dairy party which toured Idaho last month. Mr. Searles was for six years, manager of tho Nortliomo Holsteln farm at Northflold, Minnesota, one of the largost farmB devoted to tho breeding of registered Holstoins in tho United States and -thus he was a witness of tho practice which thero prevailed. "Whon a buyer camo to North flold hunting cattle ho did not havo to buy from one man, for the flrst man whose ranch ho visited would listen to tho account of what he wanted, and It ho did not have Just "what tho man desired ho would tell him so, and would not stop there," said Mr. Searles. "I have known many a competitor of ours who having flrst been ap proached by a buyer, and not having what tho stranger wanted, got into his own car and take tho buyor to first one aftor another of his nolghbors and show him their stock and glvo him tholr pedigrees and all tho information ho possessed, try ing to mako tho sale for his neigh bor and competitor Just ns hard as though for himself. "I have known instances whore, whon then tho neighbor was away from homo, such a competitor to havo proceeded to close the sale, having known the price fixed for the animal, and do all that which the man himself could have done. "That was the spirit of tho Hol steln breeders about Northfleld. It was their desire that no man who came to that section should go away without making a purchase if the animal ho wanted was for sale on any farm thereabout. As tho result of this practice Northfleld Mlnnestoa is ono of tho greatest centers for the breeding of Holsteln cattle In tho world and buyers know that the cattle offered there will be as repre sented. "This Is not the only benefit, how- over. There is a social benefit which results in the feeling of mutual assistance and helpfulness, whllo the good fellowship which results and friendships thns created cannot be measured In any monetary scale, though it has proven over and over again to be financially beneficial. "This co-operative Idea, this plan of mutually helping the other fellow and thus helping yourself, has so taken hold of the community that it has the thorough backing of the business men of the city, and when a buyer goes to one of the bankers of the city, or one of the business men he is Just as liable to take his car and go with the buyer over the district to show him the various herds as not. They know that what holps their breeders helps their com munity and they are all backing the pure stock game for it has made Rice county prosperous." What community Is there that could not profit by following this high minded practice, founded on good business sense? Petty Jealousy never paid anyone anything in the way of dividends. Suppose the merchants and farmers of this com munity boosted for each other as do the farmers of Rice county, Min nesota and tho business men of Northfleld? Would It not help? Would there not be a finer and better feeling, more friendship and more of tho things that make life worth whllo? And would thero not be more prosperity? We boliovo there would be. Let us try It and see. BABSON ANALYZES THE LIBERTY BOND OUTLOOK Wollesley Hills, Mass., September 9, 1922. A groat many of our read ers havo Liberty Bonds and wonder if It is not time to sell them. When thoy went down Into tho 80's people woro frelghtoned and throw them ovor. Now that they havo come up to par, and better, the samo people aro buying more. This Is a' queer llttlo world. In view of tho situation Rogor W. Babson Issues tho follow ing statement; "It is true that the tlmo to buy Don't Put It in the Attic It's Fun to Refinish It Yourself We'll Tell You How MANY lovely horns things are put in the ittio when they are old only on the outside. They would look at good new if refinithed. You can refinish them yourself with a little paint, varnish, or enamel, and bit of work "that is really fun." We organized a apeclal department just to tell you how to refinish things successfully. Write our "Home Ser vice Department," tolling thrm what you want to refinish and how you want it to look. . Our experts will tell you just how to do the work, what materials brushes, etc., you need. We make special paints, varnishes, enamels, wall finishes and stains for you to use. They are the results of 73 years la tho paint-making business. They are the best materials of their kind that we know. Ask for Fuller's Free Advice and use Fuller's Products to make your home even more atlfactive than it Is now. The work Is easy and fascina ting. The results are wonderful reward.

Dtpl. 42, San Francisco Branch la ! Cilia a U tba Wast rullsr's "Moras Sertriet" PalaUart told by tha following to your eh, TAGriQAHT llAIimVAllK bonds is when no one else -wants them and the tlmo to sell bonds is when everyone wants them. Hence. I strongly recommended the purchase of Liberties two years ago when they wore selling In the 80's. I am not quite convinced, however, that tho time has yet come for selling them, even tho they aro acting rather queerly at the moment. "Peoplo are worrying as the what effect the railroad and coal sttkes, and other Industrial disturbances will have on tho price of Libery Bonds, America's greatest and most popular Investment. It would bo only natural that these disturbances should depress the price of Liberties a little; but such affect would be only temporary. Money is destined to bo even cheaper than it is today, and interest rates will contltnue to be fairly lasft or somo time to come. This means that banks will again como into the market to buy Liberty Bonds. These purchases by the banks, together with the purchases of tho Government, must keep the price up and quite likely force still higher prices. Therefore, I definite ly advise readers to hold their Lib erty Bonds believing that they will ultimately sell for higher prices. Be prepared, however, for a possible temporary decline in order not to bo panic-stricken of such a temporary decline takes place. "The Fourth 4 1-4's are today selling at little over par and aro callable at par in 1933. Readers can be pretty certain that tho bonds will be called at that time. This means that on the 15th of October in the year 1933 these bonds will sell at par. Not one per cent above or ono percent below. With a con stant Interest rate between now and then the bonds should be at their highest point about 1927 or half way between now and their callable date. Tho same rule applies to all of tho different issues with their various maturities. Of course, it Is very likely that the Government will provide some general refunding scheme before all of the various Is sues of Libery Bonds are due or even callable. But If so, such a plan will bo favorabld to tho holders. I certainly advise readers to hold their Liberty Bonds until such a refund ing announcement is made. "After selling Liberty Bonds, be careful In what you Invest. A great many money sharks will be on the surface of the water looking for flsh when this refunding plan is put into operation. Peoplo aro already travel ing about our cities hunting up holdors of Liberty Bond3 and offer ing to swap for them various kinds of stock. Beware of such won. Don't talk to them or even listen to them! Shun them as If thoy had (he small pox. When you wish to invest money ask the bank, where you have savings account, to recommend some good Investment Arms. Go to them; toll thorn your condition, and put them on their Jionor to protect you and your family. In nlnet'-nlny cases out a hundred you will got good honest advice which will bo worth money to you. Whon your Liberty Bonds become duo or nre called for payment, follow tho same course. Elthor.put the money In tho savings bank or Invest It In securities which a good Investment house re commends. There aro plenty of such rellablo houses. "One need not wait until his Liberty Bonds become due before getting a little experience in Invest ing. Under tho' present system of selling high grade securities in $100 and $5-00 denoninatlon, it Is now possible to purchase good bonds from reliable investment houses with only a small amount to Invest. To buy one of these "baby bonds" is a very practical means of both saving money and becoming interest ed in securities. This is not some thing which should be done when securtles are high as Is tho case when tho Bnbsonchart shows busi ness to be considerable above the normal lino. Today, however, with business about 9 per cent below the normal line, such securities should bo worth more in tho years to como. "Much more money is available today for investment In "Govorn mont, munlcipay, railway, public utility, and sound corporation bonds than at any tlmo In tho history of America. IHs estimated that thero has been an Increase of available funds for investment of over 50 per cont slnco 1914. Of course, on tho other hand, tho needs of tho world for construction purposes are enorm ous and havo probably like-wise In creased nearly 60 per cent. There fore, hold such good securities as you now have and buy more Just as fast as you save monoy so long as tho Babsonchart flguro remains be low normal. Today It Is 9 per cent below normal. In other words, when tho Babsonchart registers above nor mal, It Is a good time to do business, but an unfavorable lino for long-term investments, When tho Bnbsonchart resistors below normal tt Is a -poor tjjpe to do bustuess but a good time for making long-term Invest meats," , MALHEUR-COUNTY-KEAf ESF TATE TRANSFERS RECORD ED SEPT 2 to SEPT O Am as W.
