Gives Report
Most Young Men
are ambitious to some day own a business of
their own, or to hold an interest in one already
established. . . . Thousands are fulfilling this
ambition every year. Most of them accomp
lished it by accumulating a reasonable amount
in a savings bank- or buying life insurance.

School Carnival a Success.
The school carnival which was
given in conjunction with the pupil3
and the teachers and held in the
Propst building was a pronounced
success.
The amusements were such ar
were clean and wholesome. There
were entertainment for all. There
was the fish and duck pond, these
affording ninny a laugh. The min
strel show sure brought down the
house with peals of laughter, while
the beauty shoppe was a very attrac
tive booth. Taking the entertain
ment all in all it was very worth
while, i nd as a money maker sure
rang the bell many times.

Marketing consists of all those ser
vices necessary in getting goods from
Clinnio May Underwood v.as born " "V """S""
ing, transporting, financing, storing,
insuring, risk bearing and retail dis
tribution. Co-operative marketing
has received much attention as a
means of improving agricultural mar
keting by reducing the number of
people engaged in performing the
marketing ?ervices. When producers
or consumers link themselves to
gether to perform these services
themselves, they will find the profits
providing only that they are as effi
cient in performing these services as
the best of the middlemen. In other
words, co-operative marketing organ
izations are in competition with men
and women who have made it their
ht'sinrss to make money by perform
ing some service in connection with
getting a raw product to its con
sumer in the shape in which the
consumer wants it. Co-operatives
cannot and should not be expected
to become monopoly agencies, nor
can they got for their members the
much-demanded "cost of production
plus a reasonable profit." If man
aged well, "co-operatives can cut
down the number of steps and the
number of hands goods pass through
npiore reaching the consumer.

Surplus in Treasury
A financial statement accompany
ing the report showed the business
transactions of the year in detail.
On January 1, 1927, there was a
surplus of $18,014. Since that time
this has been increased by $2,603
The affairs of the Nebraska Edu
cational Journal, the association
magazine, also are detailed, .along
with a statement of the publicity
sent to the. daily and weekly papers
of the state.
Committee service has been an
important feature of the association
work and the financial condition of
the association will permit an exten
sion of the service in the future, the
report says. A feature of this was
the work done by a special body that
was named to find ways and means
of bringing about a more effective
teaching of the federal constitution
Mr. Hosman compliments his office
force and the state officers for their
co-operation. He also makes a plea
for better opportunities for those who
do not have the same chance to ac
quire an education as is dffered in
the city and many rural communities.
The importance of teacher tenure is
urged as is teacher retirement. This
he believes necessary "because of the
many instructors who have given
their lives to the profession and are
now facing poverty and want. The
state has made no provision to care
for these martyrs to education after
they have given their best."

for Mississippi river flood control
along quite different lines from those
laid down in the administration plan
now before the congress are contain
ed in separate bills introduced today
by Senators Robinson of Arkansas,
the democratic leader, and Hawes,
democrat, Missouri.
Both measures would create a per
manent federal policy, Robinson pro
posing to have the congress say that
"the United States hereby rqcognizes
and assumes its obligations to pre
vent destructive floods in the Missis
sippi valley," while the Hawes mea
sure would lay down the policy that
the federal government assume and
maintain exclusive control of flood
prevention.
The Hawes plan calls for a total
expenditure of one billion dollars,
the funds to be raised by bond issue
if necessary, with $100,000,000 toj
be spent annually. The Robinson j
plans calls for $100,000,000 a year
until the work is completed.
