is striving for the unsavory reputation
which breaks box office records.
The stunt was employed this week in
announcing “Red Dust” a particularly poor and harmless
picture which appeared at a Wilkes-Barre theatre. Un-
doubtedly the knowledge that no children were to be allow-
“ed to see the picture lured a great number of persons to the
theatre.
We have always admired the clear logic and directness

the real reason children are barred is that they cannot be

Since the biginning of organized fire fighting, the fire
station has always been a place of fascination to small boys.
There’s hardly a man who doesn’t
HANG AROUND - remember hanging about, staring at
THE FIRE the glittering red monsters within
DEPARTMENT —or, to go back a bit farther, the
, stalwart horses — and perhaps
venturing an occasional bashful word to the firemen. |
It would be a good idea if adults did a bit of hanging
around the fire station, too, not with the impassioned hero
worship of the boy, but from a more critical standpoint.
Any fire department, whether it serves a village or a
metropolis, consists of but two factors — men and mach-
ines. Everything depends on them. A successful fire
department is simply an organization with a trained, in-
telligent personnel commanding the best apparatus that
the human mind and hand can create.
To the small boy all fire engines look alike and if he
~ has any preference it’s for the biggest, most glittering
one. The adult is too often in the same position. He can’t
tell a piece of standard apparatus from an assembled one
—an engine built as a by-product from one produced by a
plant specializing in fire apparatus alone. And when he
does find out the difference, it’s often too late — a piece
of inferior apparatus has failed at the crucial moment and
more property has been destroyed.
So — do a little hanging aroun
even if you are out of short pants.

C. O. Moser, President of the National Co-operative
Council and Vice-President of the American Cotton Co-op-
erative Association, recently pointed out
Le FOUR tnat the prosperity of the farmer depends
~~ FARM upon four things:
PROBLEMS 1. The cost of his production.
2. The volume of his production.
3. The price he obtains for what he produces.
4. The price he pays for what he buys.
As Mr. Moser observed, the first two are largely the
problems o fthe individual. The next two are mainly the
problems of the farmer as a group. They are the reason-
for-being of the co-operative movement.
No singular farmer, dealing with a large buying or |
selling organization, can have a voice in price. He mus.
take what he is offered or lose the business. When he
joins with thousands of other farmers whose problems
and hopes are one with his, the shoe is on the other foot.
The buying or selling organization has met its equal —
and the price is much more likely to be a fair one.
No co-operative, of course, can raise prices to the de-
sired level in times like these. What they can do is to keep
them higher than they would otherwise be and prepare
the groundwork for ‘future achievements. All over the
country the co-operative movement is making gains, both
in strength and membership, and the results are beginning
o show. When the economic clouds finally clear, and or-
banized agriculture can be ready for a period of prosperity
nprecedented in this century.

We miss seeing James Waters about
the postoffice and in his accustomed
haunts about Dallas. Mr. Waters has
been a familiar figure in and about
Dallas for the past seventy years. For
the past summer he hag.been confined
to his home with chronic illness and
for some months prior to that time he
had not been in his usual good health.
Mr. Waters usually kept us informed
on how the fruit crop was coming
long and not infrequently gave us
proof that it was a gdod crop by
bringing us apples and other fruit
grown on his land. We wish him a
hope to see him back in Dallas again
soon. 3
