Roland D. Flaherty, secretary-treasurer was elected manager and will be In charge ot all shipping on a purely cooperative basis. The lack ot an efficient and ade quate marketing system for livestock end farm produce hus long been realized by the farmers of the county. The more progressive ones have al ways looked forward to the time when they would have a county-wide organization which could support an agent In the field. The wide awake farmers and cit izens of the county will watch with deep concern the success . .of this movement. These men have had lit tle encouragement for Increased pro duction under our present system of marketing. In fact, unless a farmer has produced in quantities ot carload lots or more he was lucky if he sold at all. This is a deplorable situation for a productive and beautiful vailey like ours. ' This is an agricultural valley and upon the success and pros perity of the farmers depends the prosperity of all other enterprises. Cooperative shipping if properly han dled will give staple prices and a ready market which will mean pros perity for the valley. . GET RUSSIA TRADE LONDON. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.)

E To tho Editor: Noticed vour invitation in an edi torial of recent date that believed an honest discussion of school budcet was necessary and would be highly enlightening. Dr. Kiddell has given a statement, and some one else under tho nom-do-plumc, "Educator," has tried to give somo information to some of the less favored. The school board is asking for an increase on account of higher costs: now let the board publish a statement showing the comparative increase something like the following: Teachers' salaries for venr 1018- 1!. if'.'j.OOO: 1919-20, $:10.000.

And all other expenses that are contemplated. Let the board itemize these expenses so that thev can be quickly comprehended by the average voter, who docs n little thinking for himself. Get nwnv from this attitude "We must have this amount or the schools will have to close." The vot ers are not going to be, scared into anything. A word in regard to the school clerk. This position has always been filled by a Qualified school voter. and until this year no trouble has been experienced in finding a capable person to fill the position. Mr. Voter, will vou speak to the person who has been clerk and find out what the trouble is there f I do not think there is n voter but what is in favor of good, free schools, but does expect true efficiency, and not what one man calls "efficiency Yours trulv.

Daniels, who has charge of the local campaigu for tho Klks. The expla nation? Why, that's simple. Tho people thought that tho quota would be so easily reached and over-reached because of the popularity ot tho Sal vat Ion army, that many of the usual ly most liberal contributors as well as tho non-liberals, to causes ot this kind, made small contributions.
