COOPERATIVES I he speaking engagements of officers of the North Pacific Grain Growers in this county bring to the mind a question, “Why do producers form cooperative organizations?” Within the n^ of a majority bf Sherman county farmers two cooperative organizations have been formed with branches in ♦k.« D a j l ’ this county. Both were started because it was felt that the pro- ducers of wheat were not.getting as great a proportion of the, re- tail price of their product as they should have- The cooperatives were formed to remedy this condition. It is pecular that the times in the history of the northwest when wheat brought as great a price here as in Chicago have - been during the timeswhen a cooperative organization was doing business here. . » Some of the ills that cooperatives were formed to cure are the loss of oyer weight on stored wheat, excessive profits of grain - deaU^^certain warehouse conditions not favorable to the grower. The farmer feels in joining a cooperative that he has a better chance to reap the profit on his crop until sold to the miller than he has under the old competitive system. 1 he success of the cooperative depends upon their convincing the grower of wheat that these results have been obtained. 0 OUR NEW MACHINE - x Sometime in the small hours of Monday morning a Linotype machine was placed in the office of the Journal and the time since then has been spent setting it up and adjusting it for the work it is supposed to perform. Unfortunately this job was not com pleted in time for any machine set type to appear in this issue and because a part of the force was busy, this weeks paper may be somewhat abbreviated in some respects For which we hum- bly ask pardon, This machine was purchased because we feel that the county deserves and wants a better paper than can be published by the methods of another generation. We hope that our support will be such that this investment will prove a good one from a finan- -t*»J? ' tained three tablea at bridge of the, Frank Brown Tburaday.

IT’S NICE TO GET UP—? , L’ . . . , . ... " . The old Puritan admonitan against lying m bed as aptly stated by Benjamin Franklin has a hard time surviving in these wintry mornings The Puritans believed any habit or practice inherently sinful that softened the human clay; and anything that was enjoyable to normal men and women was frowned upon by that sect as at least bordering upon sin. ‘ Therefore they instructed their children through various teachings and an aphorism that has become famous that “early to bed and early to rise makes men healthy, wealthy and wise,” If such be true now as it was believed to be true then, we fear for the future su^N^s of the larger part of our citizenry. For it 4 is a most common sight to find the streets deserted at an hour that cannot be called early by even the most dilatory and stores and offices are locked against the early shopper until the sun has warmed the earth for several hours. Nor do we plead exemption from this class that uses the fragrant morning hours for a little added slumber. We seem to lack the Puritan fortitude that would make us rise in the chill , . . . - . dawn of awakening day as a scourge for weakening flesh or even for the more practical promise of eventually becoming “healthyr wealttrvimd r ' * In the long evening part of the year it seems to be such a good trade to dicker an hour or so of lonesome and frosty morn ing for a like amount of night’s entertainment or, if one has no entertainment at hand the quiet hours of winter nights may well be used for work or reading. " Nevertheless, a certain amount of pride is always incorpor ated in the stated “I got up at five o’clock this morning.” The speaker always assumes for the moment a tone and appearance of superiority. The quietness of the late riser makes him seem to admit that a certain amount of extra vigor and ambition is in the one who can force his unwilling self from under the covers into the darkness and chill of mid winter morning.
