The pretty victim of a ten cent claw
hammer in the hands of a jealous
woman, was buried at Los Angeles
Tuesday, and the press dispatches say
the minister spake a few words on
gossips and gossiping, the evils there
of, and the harvest. It was fitting at
the bier of tha departed, for mayhap,
some of the audience, paying the last
homage, had been relay stations for
the whispered scandal, while draped
over backyard fences and apartment
house bannisters. Hut the minister, It
may be years, and it may be forever,
ere he again discourses on gossIpB and
gossiping, yet it It) a timely topic most

f V THERE is any wav of culling off tliis recall election it should be

' and the cost of the system and its

It must be plain now to all unbiasiid people, that a recall election
under any circumstances seldom is desirable '' Whether1 justified or
unjustified it is, in plain Kn-rlish, a ini'y. 1'J,h a thing the people of
any community with the best interests at that cflmmunity at heart,
want to avoid. Only when conditions are so intolerable, when evi
dence of corruption iiiid wrong doing is sot strongly supported, not
by hearsay, gossip and suspicion, but by established facts, that the
unavoidable evifs of a recall have any i-hiince of being overbalanced
by the necessarily speculative benefits.
No such condition exists in the present instance. Subject the evi
dence thus far produced to the slightest judicial inquiry, and it falls
of its own weight. Unless there is something far more tangible and
damaging than the recall forces have presented, the campaign prom
ises never to rise above the ltvel of an undignified and futile neigh
borhood squabble
Let's get out of it if we can, not for the benefit of this faction
or that, but for the benefit of the community as n whole. One might
smile at the ridiculous exhibition, if it were not so expensive. Hut
this recall, if carried to a finish, will do far more than raise taxes.
It will leave a divided and embittered county, until very recently one
of the most progressive and united districts in the state, it will sow
the seeds for further disturbances of the same kind, it will estrange
men who should he good friends and separate families Who should he
good neighbors.
And what do the people get in return, not the people who are vio
lently in favor of the recall or those who are violently against, but
the vast majority, who have not taken sides one way or the other, but
only wish there was some way to stop this strife and dissension, and
return to peace and sanity and common sense.
They get the rich privelege of paying out between $3000 and
$'-4Q00 in cold cash for what comes close to being a public calamity!
Not very much perhaps but enough to run several page ads in some

TIMK is skipping, time is hopping, with a haste I can't ex
plain; soon we'll do our Christmas shopping iu the winter
sleet and rain. I'reeious months are slipping- by us, and they
never will come back, and we use some language pious when we
view the almanac. Half the year is now departed, half the year is
spent anil run, and I'm feeling broken hearted when I view the
work undone. Vain and useless was my planning and I now take iu
my sign; Father Time is always canning noble hopes and dreams
of mine. I have scarcely done a quarter of the things I planned,
I see; for the days and weeks are shorter than the blamed things
ought to be. All the months are bob-tailed speeders, each the
worst you ever saw; and I feel oh, gentle readers, that there
ought to he a law. For we can get nothing finished, we can wind
up nothing here, and our store of life's diminished every time we
flap an ear; and the moments, never stopping, whisper that we're
nearly through, and the time for Christ nuis shopping, will be

the farmers meet these charges togeth
er with the already high taxes and
remain solvent? This must be an
swered, and answered now.
In Texas where the cotton farmer
was threatened with bankruptcy, the
Farm Bureau with its Co-operative
Commodity Organization solved the
problem. Being confronted with a
common problem, the bankers led the
business men in helping the Farm
Bureau organize and financed their
commodity organization. They did not
try to pass the buck by talking about
how bank examiners would regard it.
They found a way and did it. In Texas
they realize that banks are in exis
tence to serve business, industry and
agriculture instead of these things ex
isting to serve banks. All the com
munity working together have solved
the problem.
In Other States
In Oklahoma they have solved the
same problem in the same way.
In Virginia we have a striking illus
tration. '
In Maryland there is no farm organi
zation, no cooperation and no prosper
ity just across the imaginary Btate
line the farmers are organized. ." ; ',
The Eastern Shore, of Virginia Pro
duce Exchange, an institution similar
to our Jackson County Farm Bureau
and Co-operative Exchange, laut year
handled 9,000,000 of fruit and veget
ables cooperatively. How has this af
fected the banking business? i,
"We started business with deposits
of $150,000. Today our deposits are
J750.000. We had only 200 rural depo
sitors. Now we have 1000 and their
average deposit is (1000. Our bank
was established because of the Ex
change." So writes V. S. Burton, assis
tant cashier of the Onley bank.
Several miles from Onley is Ono
mock, the home of the First National
bank. "It herded organize and finance
the exchange. Seventy-five per cent
of our depositors are farmers," said
G. H. Powell, vice president. "They
number about 1600 and all have sav
ings accounts averaging between $750
and $1000. Before the exchange start
ed we had about 800 farm customers
and their deposits averaged $200. The
increase in our customers and deposits
has been due to the profit growers
now are able to make out of their busi
ness. The price the exchange gets for
their products permits this."
Across the line in Maryland an offic
ial of the People's Bank of Somerset
county located at Princess Ann, Mary
land, said: "We have -good, crops of
fruits and vegetables. , but speculators
buy them for what they, please. When
prices are good our farmers don't ac
cumulate much money, their expenses
and debts of other years taking all
they receive. I don't think our cus
tomers ever have been entirely out of
debt. The average debt this year, be
cause of a bad crop in 1921, is from
$400 to $500. We have accounts of
1500 of the 2500 farmers in our district.
They run from $50 to $100 at most.
As I see it, this means that there are a
thousand farmers who do not have
money enough to start an account. The
co-oporattve Idea, however, is begin
ning fo take hold, and conditions are
bound to Improve."
Contrast the coudition of the bank
ers and farmers in Virginia with its
Co-operative Exchange, with that in
Maryland without the co-operation.
Tills is tho story all over the world.
Out of Date Bankers
Co-oieratlon pays. The banker who
is opposed to farm organization, who
refuses to aid co-operative enterprises,
who even In some cases, instead of aid
ing farmers, calls their 8 per cent
paper and invests his deposits in com
mercial paper at a lower interest rate
is not only out of date as a banker but
is a menace to his community.
Prosperity in the Rogue River val
ley caji only come from the hearty
support of the farmer by all our
people including our business men and
our bankers. We must organize not
only to raise our produce but to market
it. Our co-operative exchange must be
financed so we can use all our grain
at home and make it Into poultry,
dairy and hog feed, and it must organ
ize co-operating, with the county agent
to develop the dairy, poultry and live
stock industry. Our people must or
ganize co-operatively to produce and

Every druggist In this county is
authorized to say to every rheumatic
sufferer that If a futl pint bottle of
Allenrhu, the sure conqueror of
rheumatism, does not show tho way
to stop the agony, reduce swollen
joints and do awny with even the
slightest twinge of rneumntic pain,
ho will gladly return your money
without comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested
for years, and really marvelous re
sults have been accomplished in the
most severe cases where the suffer
ing and agony was Intense and pite
ous and where the patient was helpless.
Mr. James -H. Allen of Rochester,
N. Y., the discoverer of Allenrhu, who
for many years suffered the torments
of acute rheumatism, desires all suf
ferers to know thnt he does not want
a cent of anyone's money unless
Allenrhu derisively conquers this
worst of all diseases, and he has in
structed druggists to guarantee It as
above in every instance. All drug
gists can supply you. Adv.
handle cheese, milk and butter, can
fruit and vegetables co-operatively,
because this is the only way in which
the producer can make a profit, and,
unless he does, make good by pros
perity. This can not be done unless
our home banks co-operate.
We have been told that the business
of a banker is to sell money and credit.
We think he has a higher mission, to
perform ; but accepting the commercial
view, then the case Is: Are tbey.ablq.,'
as dealers In money and credit, to, do
for the Rogue River valley what other
bankers all over the United 'States
have done? It is up to them to prove
their financial leadership,, . 3 v;-
Our people are facing, a condition
that is going to demonstrate who are
the live ones and who are the dead
ones In our community;.. f Let .us cease
petty strire and get together for pros
perity for the Rogue Rivet valley from
the north end to the California line, an
empire within itself.
We can do it.
