The Consumer Cooperative Movement is some 150 years old. Having had its beginning in England, in some of the countries of Europe, it had grown to great proportions. Especially so in the Scandinavian countries, until just before the present war the cooperatives of Finland, for instance, were doing almost half of the total business. In the eastern part of our own country the move ment has grown until now there are several great co operatively owned wholesale houses distributing merchandise, much of it carrying the co-op. label, to thousands of retail stores, being all owned by the customers who are served by them. In that system, the profits of distribution and in some instances those of manufacturing or of proces sing, also are returned to the customer in the form of patronage dividends. Here in the West we are still more or less in the pioneering stage of cooperative organization. The time is coming though, when we too as consumers will own a great distribution system. The ultimate goal is for the consumers themselves to own and control the businesses of distribution and of production to the end that goods shall be owned for consumption at cost, and that any profit from these processes shall be returned to the customer to ers in U.

PRESIDENTIAL PREREQUISITES Prologue A club president should be witty and winsome and wise But not too wise, And good looking enough to appeal to the eyes But not all eyes, She must be a good dresser and spender and lender Always ready to go where her club COME TO THE Tow nsend BENEFIT DANCE AT COLUMBIA PARK wants to send her. Willing to work night and day on every committee That is formed in her club or her state or her city. She must give all her'time and that of her sprouse And neglect all her family, her friends and her house, She must eat at each luncheon, ban quet and dinner, Yet she must manage to grow thin ner and thinner. While doing all this she must forget about self And work every minute or get put on a shelf. And when she has finished this time of her slavery, What does a club president get for her bravery? Epilogue She enjoys all this slavery, so don’t analyze No matter who lies, And she becomes more witty more winsome and wise, Generally too wise, While she broadens in wisdom and culture and size, Specially in size. * ♦ « SA T., JU LY 13 Come Join the Fun BETTER MUSIC PROMISED Gardening has become American women’s number one hobby accord ing to an article in a recent Ladies' Home Journal.

The Golden Text was, "Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanks giving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto cur God for ever and ever. Amen’’ (Rev. 7:12). Among the citations which com prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give tnee rest. And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will pro claim the name cf the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I wiil shew mercy” (Ex. 33:14,18). The Le: son-Sermon also included the following correlative passages from the Christian Science text book, “Science end Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: "God is Spirit; therefore the language of Spirit must be, and is, spiritual. Christian Science attaches no physical nature and significance to the Supreme Being or His mani festation; mortals alone do this . . .

Land Bank loans made since 1917 have been written at varying rates of interest, but average about 5 per cent. Land Bank Commisioner loans made since 1933 have been written at a 5 per cent rate. The 3 % per cent rate on land bank loans, it was explained, is a continua tion of a rate that has been in effect since 1933. The new rate on Com missioner loans trims another one- half of 1 per cent from the interest charge, a special rate of 4 per cent having been in effect on these loans for some time. The Pendleton National Farm Loan association office services approxi mately 32,180,000 in Land Bank and [.and Bank Commissioner loans. The annual saving in Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon—the terri tory served by the Federal Land Bank of Spokane—will be in excess of 32,000,000, McEwen estimated.
