SO
CO-OPERATIVE BUYING.
Las week The Gazette-Times had
something to say regarding the farm
er and his tendency to send away
from home for merchandise. The
talk was not directed to fanners
alone but may be applied to all
classes, even including the merchant
himself. But what we are striving
for and would like to see, is a closer
co-operation between farmer and lo
cal merchant. The spirit manifested
at the farmers picnic last Saturday
was splendid and more get-together
meetings of that nature will have a
grand influence in bringing about
better farming conditions in Morrow
county.
County Agent Hunt has called our
attention to a system which is being
worked out successfully in Deschutes
county and a system which he hopes
will be carried out here In the near
future. It pertains to 'co-operative
buying."
Under the farm bureau plan all
the farmers and farm organizations
get together on both the buying and
selling end of the market business.
By bulking orders individual mem
bers of the bureau have been able to
buy their necessities much cheaper
than they could by buying individual
ly. The latest purchase by the farm
bureau has been a carload of wire
and represents a saving of 30 per
cent to the members.
The order was handled by a local
dealer and on account of the size of
the order he was able to deliver it at
a price much lower than he could if
he had had to carry the wire in stock
and sell to each man as he came in.
Our new county agent has started
the ball a rolling. He is hammer
ing on the same principles that have
brought success to every other com
munity where introduced and in his
efforts he must have the backing of
not only the farmers, but business
man and merchant as well.
PIONEERING.
"Pioneering don't pay," said Mr.
Carnegie on one occasion. As re
gards the fortunes of individual pio
neers, verv often it "don't." Often
the first settlers merely sow and oth
prQ rpan.
By this time loosely speaking
we know all about airplanes and
aerial navigation. Preparations more
careful than those made bv the Navy
Department for a transatlantic flight
would be fairly impossible. But only
one of its three olanes eot across.
That the crews of the two others
were not lost was cartlv eood luck
Hawker and Grieve were saved by
one chance out or a dozen.
You mav know all about anything
on paper, but two times out of three
it will not come out that way in prac
tice until experience and actual
practice and corrected the theory.
About two times out of three the per
fect shop model develops unsuspect
ed weaknesses on the road. -Certainly
pioneering does pay so
cialiv in everv Dhase of life and ev
ery branch of human activity, in- U
eluding poimcs ana economic, um i
only the pioneering that keeps one jHlj
foot on experience and makes its u
plans with the mental reservation SE
that after the best forethought has E
been taken the first attempt will pro-
bably go wrong and have to be tried E
over. The first men to fly Wilbur
and Orville Wright beat rivals who
planned more ambitiously, Because
they proceeded by slow, patient, ac
tual experiments.
Launching on a transatlantic flight
before the machine has been thor
nuchlv tried out over a uond is not
real cioneerine but onlv suicidal ir-' -5
responsibility. That is about what
a lot of alleged pioneers in politics 5
and economics want to oo. aatur

THERE IS A CHARM A SURPASSING EXCELLENCE ABOUT
Welworth Blouses
THAT IS OFTEN IMITATED .
but even though 'tis said that "imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery" imitation is, at best, merely an imitation; and after all, it is
easy to distinguish Welworth blouses for every "Welworth" blouse has
a distinctive 4 ' Welworth ' ' label.
We are proud of our connections with
the manufacturers of Welworth Blouses
and Wirthmor Waists; glad to sell their
product to our friends, for we know that
those who purchase will always be more
than pleased with the unfailing combina
tion of durability and style with which
these garments are characterized.
Welworth blouses are smart, becoming and may be had in mdllels
that are quite elaborate with exquisite trimmings or those that are
equally effective in their charming simplicity.

Another line of self-evident excellence is
The Mina Taylor Dress'
You only have to see them to recognize their superiority to other
lines of ready-made dresses superior in material, superior in styles,
superior in workmanship. Mina Taylor dresses in Khaki for outing
or camping in gingham or percale for house wear and in finer fabrics
for afternoon wear.

. ITS UP TO YOU
There is just as much reason for efficiency on the farm as there is
in an automobile factory turning out nine hundred thousand automo
biles in a single year.
Efficiency is always the basis of
. a large production
With the governmena guaranteeing the price of wheat, and the
increasing demand for beef, pork and milch cows, the thinking, efficient
farmer is going to make big profits this year.
You will need better and larger storage facilities for your crops.
You will need larger housing room for your implements and machinery.
If you raise cattle, you will need a larger barn, perhaps a new one. And
now is the time to get these improvements under way, for delay may
very easily prevent them.
As an intelligent reader of the daily news reports from European
countries, you know there is a demand for building materials beyond
any previous record. Thousands of homes are to be replaced, new com
mercial buildings of ever description will have to be constructed.
And the capacity of the mills of this country will be taxed to the
utmost. We are able to make deliveries now, but cannot guarantee to
do so, if you wait too long.
Let us go over your needs now, help you plan such improvements,
as are necessary, and get out the materials.
They will insure greater production on your farm, and more profit.
Yours For a Prosperous Year
Tum-a-Lum Lumber Co.
