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

GARDEN CLUB
CHATS
♦
By Mrs. Thomas O’Grady
The following poem was read at
the regional garden club convention,
which was held in Portland June 3,
4 and 5 of this year.
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.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES
<3C,OD” was the subject of the
( j Lesson-Sermon in all Churches
of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, July
7.
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 . . .
Not materially but spiritually we
know Him as divine Mind, as Life,
Truth, and Love” (pp. 117,140).

Congress and approved by President
Roosevelt fixes the interest rate on
the next two years’ installments on
both loans, with sbme few exceptions,
at 3% per cent annually. 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.
