Continued on page two) CANADIANS ORSERVE DIAMOND JUBILEE A reiteration of Benjamin Frank lin’s famous utterance to the origi nal 13 colonics that they must all hang together or they *would hang separately was made Monday at Stanfield before the big picnic gath ered by New Madde i, Hermiston speaker, when he held the close at tention of the audience on his talk on .“Co-operation by Farmers.” “Some people are fond of saying that* farnierg can't hang together in their co-operative orgi nlzations, but it Is becoming increasingly plain that we must hang together to save our selves and our children the heritage that we received from our forefath ers,” the speaker seld. “Without co-operation we are facing the alter native of a form of commercial slav ery.” Co-operative efforts are based on fundamental principles that caused the settlement and development of this country, Mr. Madden declared. He traced the expansion of the United States from the eastern sea board to the middle western states and thence to the Pacific coast. With the big settlement movement practically completed, other problems remain to be settled, and the ability of farmers to Join forces' to attain mutual benefits must be developed to settle one of the biggest problems still unsolved. "Co-operative organization does not mean primarily the getting of more money,” the speaker asserted. ’«It means getting more of happiness. Mankind was placed on earth to be happy,'and our efforts should be shaped to bring more happiness. It is true that by co-operative action we can secure more money, but the money is of value only In terms of the added happiness that it makes possible for us and our families. "I think we hould think of co operation in these terms, and I am convinced that our efforts to organ ize will continue to have only a par tial success until we turn away from the pfire fcomlherclal aspects of the case and think of it ns a means of bringing to us and ours more happi ness.” In refutation of the old belief that farmers can not be successful in or ganizing he called attention to the success that has crowned the work of the Hermiston Farm Bureau Co operative. Starting a few years ago with not a cent of capital of Its own, borrowing the money it required for operation, the organization has proved a blessing to feed buyers all over this territory, Mr. Madden declared. “You are all reaping the benefits of this organization a s , you have need of its services,” he said. "It’s ideal is one of service and to save you as much money as possible. It deserves your support that It may continue to grow.” His remarks about the necessity of dairymen organizing to market their butterfat drew cheers from the large crowd.
