F. hall at 2:30 p. m., Sunday. Leavitt, who is now holding evangelistic meetings at lone, has proven himself a wonder. Everyone in Heppner should hear him. Jim Mollahan came in from his Sand Hollow ranch Friday evening during the big wind storm and says he does not care to repeat the ex perience. At times the gale almost carried his saddle horse off its feet and it was very difficult to keep on the road. "lOX, Editor and Publisher i:l i. .

The interest of the middlemen affected is to prove ihat it ha failed, and the association can only justify its existence bv prmingthat it has succeeded. The final proof is !"umi-hei bv the total sum received by the fanner for his entire season's crop. If in the general result the grower who has sold through the association has received mon per bushel for the same grades of wheat than he who sold to dealers, then co-operation is justified. .Much is said in the Price-Current Grain Reporter of Chicago about the chages made by the association to its members. These seem to be sucn as wouiu nave iu ue paid, no matter who handled a shipment and they are printed on the statement of account that is sent to mem bers. To them must be added the interior warehouse charge and freight to the terminal point, which the asso ciation cannot affect. The total of these charges, exclud ing the additions named, but including reserves held to the close of the season, is 12.2 cents. Critics compare this sum with the 2 Y cents which is published as the association's handling charge, but the reply is that the 2Y2 cents only purports to cover administration and office expense. The average price of 90.2H cents paid growers by the as sociation for the J 922 crop is compared with higher prices paid to individual growers by dealers, but the former price is the average for the whole crop of all grades, high, mid dling and low, for the entire season, while the higher prices named mav be for premium wheat, so that there is no par allel. It is said that many members are dissatisfied and wish to withdraw from the pool and that some have vio lated their pooling contract by selling to outside dealers, in a large organization having many members who make iheir first experiment with a new system, some arc prone to discontent and to be influenced by those who are, or think they are, injured by its intrusion into their field. The disaffection is not of itself sufficient cause to condemn the organization or the principle that it practices. The soundness of co-operative principle, when followed with good business judgment, integrity and economy, has been abundantly proved by its beneficial results in many trades, both in this country and in others. Given the con ditions named, it has succeeded in face of criticism from Ihose whose business it affects. In fact, such criticism .should be helpful, for it may expose weak points which can he made strong, and it should impose caution on managers Jest Ihev commit errors of judgment which would justify it. Co-operation wins when an association springs from realization of merits among Ihose whom it is to serve, when members give their at lent ion to it and when expecta tions arc not too high, I'uilding strongly on a small scale, to be followed later by combination of a number of units, will conduce more to permanence than will an ambitious effort to co cr a wide field from the beginning, for much is to be learned by experience. In that wav doubters and critics may be convinced that co operation has come to .lay and may be won to its support.

The difference in favor of the Ca nadian larmer is 10 cents a hundred 10 cents a bushel. You may think these freak figures and apply onlv to an exceptional ease. Then let us consider the freight rates on wheat from Kegina, Saskatchewan, and Poplar, Montana. 1 he distance ot these two towns from shipping1 points on the (neat Lakes is practically the same. The Montana larmer pays ji cents a hundred, the Canadian farmer cents. Or let us take Leeds, North Dakota, with a rate of 20V2 cents to Duluth, 417 miles away, and Winnipeg, Manitoba, with a rate of 14 cents to l'ort William. 4'0 miles away on the Canadian side of the lake. Our farmers in the northwest and in the west and south and in the com belt, too, for that matter declare that treight rates are too hiyh. The railwav companies say they can't be lowered.
