BUSINESS ON AN ECONOMICAL .BASIS
BSBaSsBSSB
One at the first accessfal Or-
.aafaatlone of Farmers X6w
Do In a- Baalaeaa la the
- t alteat State.
Tha flrtt attempt at effecting a business
organisation, of farmers In Kansas was on
August 7, 1341). A meeting was. held at the
National hotel, Torek ft, Kan., and con
siderable enthusiasm wan manifested.
Tha prevalent Idea at that time u to
effort the national organisation and get
various eta lea ot the union Interested In
pushing forward such aa organization.
After working along those lines for several
month it wna found that the plan was im
practical, that people would not Invest In
or support such nn organization.
The grain dealers of the west had com
bined or formed pools at the various
stations. There was no competition among
them, for they agreed upon a division of
the grain that Came to the station on the
per cent plan, each dealer getting his pro
portionate profit on the amount of grain
handled at the -station. This led up to
exorbitant margins which were exacted
from farmers by the regular dealers. The
grain dealers being thoroughly organized.
they Joined In a request to the various
railroads operating In th west asking them
to refuse to furnish cars to scoop-shovel
dealers, which of Course Included farrtiers
This concession was conceded by the rail
roads.
Then the grain dealers, not being satis
fled with what they had accomplished, they
demanded of commission men and all re
cetvera of grain In the central market, s
well as exporters, that they refuse to.
handle grain from parties who were not
regular dealers. They even went to so far
as to Include those who operated elevators
Independently, and who would not comply
with the demands of the trust. This placed
the trust dealers In a position to exact
margins from the farmer, limited only
by their selfleshness.
Something- Praetleal Needed.
Something more practical In the way of
farmers' organization became a neces
sity. A conference was held by those who
had taken an Interest in effecting a farmers'
organization and It was decided to hold
a state meeting for the purpose of organi
sing on business lines, with a view of
securing ' relief. '
A meeting was held at Salina, Kan., and
an organization was effected on May 18,
1901. This organization was known as the
Farmers' Co-Operative Grain- and Live
Stock association. The plan adopted em
bodied the organization of local co-op
erative elevator companies, operated on the
Independent plan. And the central com
pany referred to above was Incorporated
and It was expected that all the local In
dependent associations were to federate
with the cement company and take stock in
the same and transact their business
through the central company. In the un
organized, chaotic condition of farmers at
that time it was the only plan that would
command support. ' '
The co-operative movement among farm
ers has been one of continued growth and
advancement. By actual test tha Independ
ent plan proved to be inadequate and Ira
practical. It was soon discovered by the
most practical men in the movement that
a closed organization was, an absolute ne
cesslty. It was found that the Grain trust
could confuse, divide and prevent the locals
from consolidating their business and pre
vent them from associating together in a
way that would insure success,
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Farmers' Co-Operative Grain
and Live Stock association it was decided
to adopt the corporation plan of a line
system of elevators, adding to It the prin
ciples of co-operation. This plan was unan
imously adopted by the board of directors
of the old asseclatlon and unanimously
confirmed by the stockholders In annual
session.
Operating- Saceeaafally la Tare Statea
The Farmers' Co-Operative Shipping as
sociation, now so successfully operating In
Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, orig
inated with , the board of directors of the
old association, and was adopted by the
stockholders It that company, and was
promoted and established by tha authority
and direction of the stockholders of tha
old association In their annual meeting.
The funds In tha treasury of the old as
sociation were directed by the stockhold
ers to be used in propagating and estab
lishing the Farmers' Co-Operatlva Shipping
association. .
By resolution of the stockholders of tha
Farmers' Co-Operative Grain and Live
Stock association the board of directors
of said association was authorized to use
euch funds as were necessary in promot
ing and establishing the Farmers' Co
operative Shipping association.
The board of directors of the old asso
ciation authorized James Butler, secre
tary and manager of the old association,
to proceed with the organization work
of establishing the Furniers' Co-Operatlva
Shipping association. This action was
taken at an annual meeting of the stock
holders, December 2, 190S. While tha
plan of the old company was weak and
did not accomplish all that lha farmera
wanted, yet It laid the foundation for
the company that Is now operating so
successfully. It prepared farmers for
the progressiva step and took the lead
In establishing the Present company. . It
was the parent of the present company.
Hence It would ba unfair and unjust to
say that the old association was a fail
ure, for had tt not been for the work of
the old association in propagating and
producing the Farmers' Co-Operative Ship
ping association, the great work that la
being done today would never have been
accomplished. It should not be forgot
ten .mat tne old company furnished tha
means to pay the expenses, and done the
work or successfully launching the new
association.
The Farmers' Co-Operatlve Shipping as
sociation was chartered May tJ, 1J01
mis company began business, operating
one elevator and handled Its first grain
July S, 1908. The association has msda
a wonderful growth. It owna and oper

We have over l.vOo stockholders In tha

these stockholders stand together as one

The purpose of the Farmers' Co-Opera-
live snipping association is not to fight
oinar corporations .or other business in
dustrlaa. It Is our purpose and aim to
better conditions In securing lor tha
larmers and wealth producers tha riarhts

In thle age of powerful eombinatlona, tha
farmer and grain grower, business man
and wealth producer, must form a combi
nation In their owa Interest strong enough I
to succeefully conduct their own grain
business. Farmers, grain growers and the
country business men should take stock In
the Farmers' Co-Operatlve Shipping a--o-
clntlon, and capitalise their company with
sufficient cash to finance their own bul
nese and protect their own welfare.
Iycal farmers' organisations and local j
elevators will never nlve tha problem of .
marketing grain In the most economical ;
manner. Individual shipping associations
and Independent fanners' elevators will
never be able to compete with the power,
ful combination of capitalists now engaged
in the grain butanes' Nor will they be
able to withstand the onslaught of misrep
resentation, bribery and Insinuations hurled
against their leaders by their combined
competitors. Aa stated before, the stock

ping association act together as one man.

The directors are elected by the stock
holders at their annual meeting. Each
stockholder votes In proportion to the
stock he holds. Stock Is riO per share, and
stockholders are limited to 3(0 shares. No
person can hold more than 900 ahares. Thla
clause was adopted In order to prevent one
man or a few men from gobbling up the
company after It was In successful opera

laws of Kansas, rnder the statutes of
Kansas, when stock subscribed for Is paid

bility clause was repealed by the last leg
islature. Bo when stock Is paid for there
Is no danger of further claim sgnlnst a
member, even If the company should be
unsuccessful or fall.
While the Farmers' Co-Operatlve Shipping
association has secured wonderful advan
tages for Its stockholders, its officers can
see many further advantages that can be
gained, aa the company becomes older and

COLOR SCHEME IN BASE BALL
How a
Cla
Backet of Palat Enable
b to Win the Pennaat tot
Two Seaeoae.
One of the oldeat thlnga that ever hap
pened on a ball Held took place on the
west side In Chicago In a game against
New York. Anson's men were playing the
Glanta and the victory hung In the balance
until, In the ninth Inning, with the score
even. Bill Lnge-faced Jouett Meekln and
rampsed a certain double to center. There
were two out and the crowd rose with a
yelp of delight when Lange amote tha ball
which rolled past Van Haltren.
That ball rolled on and finally disap
peared. Van Haltren was on top of it,
but Instead of picking It up, ha suddenly
threw hlmaelf flat on the ground, rammed
his right arm into the earth and commenced
reaching. Lange, meantime, kept on. He
turned second, raced on to third, gave a
look outward, and then sprinted for home,
soorlng the winning run.
The ball had rolled Into a hole In the
ground from which a post had been pulled
that morning and Van Haltren bad been
able only to reach it with the tips of his
fingers. The next day the hole was
filled In. , :
Upon what small things the results of
base ball depend can be guessed when It Is
known that a 46 cent bucket of paint won
the National league pennant for Balti
more two years In succession. The men
who composed the three times champion
Orioles an sdmlt the fact that the bucket
of paint had more to do with their pennant
winning than anything else.
The facts are these: The Orioles were
not hitting. They could not find out why
until one day Willie Keeler remarked that
the ball when pitched from the pitcher's
box was the same color aa the center field
fence and that tha ball was lost to them
against the dark background. The players
aet themselves down to figure it out, snd
In the end they figured that the reason
they were not hitting was because there
was a lack of relief In the color scheme of
the grounds. The bat boy was sent In a
hurry for a pot of white paint and a patch
of the fence in center field, exactly on a
line with the pitcher's box snd the plate,
was daubed white. The paint made a
difference of nearly 40 points per man In
their batting averages that season, and
they won the pennant.
After that the space In center on moat
of the big league ball grounds waa kept
clear, or painted In aome color that would
assist the team In Its hitting.
The color scheme In baseball la more im
portant than tha casual observer would
suppose. For Instance, the Polo grounds
Is one of the hardest grounds In the world
for an outfielder. Back of the grandstand
rises a huge bluff "Coogan's bluff" and
the stand la built partly on the aide of th
hill. Naturally the shadow of the stand
and the bluff Ilea heavy over the field, as
far out as second base In the late after
noon, and the outfielders have great diffi
culty In aeelng the ball until It rises out
of the shadow and above the sky Hue.
The players learn to judge balls by the
way they Sound against the bat, but visit
ing players at the Polo ground have a
herd time Judging line drive.
For years tha New Tork players have
had the advantage because or the color
scheme of their grounds. In center field la
a panel of color to relieve the batter's eye
snd show the ball In relief against It, while
to mitigate the effects of the shadow sec
tions of the front of the atand and even the
bowlders on the hillside have been painted.
Those mechanical aids for batting are
great things. Almost every home team has
lta grounds arranged for relief In color, so
that they can, by looking at a certain spot,
be certain to see the ball. It la not neces
sary for the ball to rise agalnat the relief
background, but it is necessary for the'
player'a eye to ba filled with tha color, o
that when, ha looks at tha ball It atands
ut In relief agalnat the color which still
la imprinted on tha retina of hla eye.
Experimenting one time with Bill Hutchl.
son. tha Tala star, and later one of Anaun'a
best pitcher I tried to see what effect
color bad on the eye of the batter. I took
only three colors, green, red sad white,
and. secured pieces of cardboard of these
colors. - My theory waa that the player,
it he looked steadily at th cards before
batting, would retain that color scheme
on the retina and either loaa tha ball en
tirely or see it more vividly. Hutchison
agreed to try tha experiment In practice,
and wa went to work.
Bill would sit and gaxs steadily at tha
white card and then go to bat. Than ha
would try tha green, then the red. After a
week we came to tha conclusion that green
was th only thing to us Bill, who nat
urally was a bad hitter, would look at the
green card for a minute and then awat th
ball all over tha lot. Red Improved his
batting somewhat, but after ha had looked
at white for a for a ttm ba could not so
th ball at all.

the eyes and white Is not, but the result of
tha teat waa surprising for all that.
We urged the theory on the other players,
but, alas for science, they scoffed at ua
Later we tried painting the ball different
colors and using colored cards, and dis
covered beyond a doubt that green Is the
color to make men bat. The scientific prin
ciple involved may not be understood by
the players, but in half the grounds In
the country there Is a big panel of fence
painted green, on - a line with the home
plate and the pitcher s box.
I would like to experiment now with
photo brown, shutting players up In a room
of that color and then sending them out to
bat. I'll wuger It would Improve their bat
ting 20 per cent.
One of the best hitting pitchers that ever
lived, Walter Thornton, who was driven
out of base ball because of the personal dis
like of an official of the National league to
him, had a scheme which worked well and
which he claimed aided him In batting. He
simply sat and held his fingers tight against
bla eyea for several mlnutea before going
to bat. Shutting out all light, he claimed,
rested his eyes after pitching a hard inning,
and he went to bat with eyea fresh and
steady.
And how he did hit them! How he did hit
them!
Pietro Gladiator Bp-own tried every
treatment possible for his eyes to keep
them clear. Smoking a cigarette on the
bench waa one of hla Ideas, and he carried
an eye wash with him which he poured
Into his eyes Juut befpre going to bat.
Moat of the schemes of players to keep
their "eyes In," as they say, are ridiculous,
but there Is no reason why a lot of players
should not follow literally the advice of
tha bleacherltea and "aee an oculist." Any
good oculist can devise a color scheme that
will help the batter. Chicago Tribune.

TYPEWRITER PROBLEM SOLVED
Elshteen-Vear-Old Virglnlaa Boy la
Teats a Handy Aatomatlo
Carriage.
Robert Eugene Turner, an 18-year-old
youth of Norfolk, Va., haa Invented an
automatic carriage for a typewriter which,
those who have seen It declare, will aolva
a problem that haa puxxled the manufac
turers of typewriters for years.
It waa recognised long ago, experts as
sert, that an automatic carriage return for
a typewriter would add from S to V) per
cent to the apeed of the operators. The
manufacturers put experts on the problem
of the transference, redirection and control
of power, but none was able to solve tt.
Mr. Turner had his attention drawn to
tha matter. Ha began to experiment with
drawings, and for three years studied tha
problem at spare times, day and night. He
finally solved the problem of regulating
the power at all times, controlling and re
versing It at will by means of the apace
bar.
"My device Is very simple," aald Mr.
Turner today, "and can be added to ma
chines at a nominal cost. It will not affect
the durability of tha machine or add to tha
cost of repaira. Ita apeed la sufficient for
all practical purposes. It Increases the
mechanical control of tha carriage, making
it unnecessary for the operator to remove
his hands from the keyboard aa ha writes.
"Tha mechanism causes the carriage to
return to tha Initial writing point automati
cally when the end of the written !ne is
reached and also to return non-automatl-cally
from any point In the Una by pressing
a special key. Provision for cushioning th
impact ot th carriage to prevent destruc
tive jar to the machine Is amply provided
for, as wel) as an Improvement In tha run
ways and rollers beating the carriage, to
reduce th friction to a minimum.
"The momentum attained by the carriage
In Its return stroke la utilised for the line
spacing. simple device is Introduced, so
that th setting of either the automatic
or manual Una spacer will adjust th ether
to conform in the uniform spacing of th
lines.

against each other that a shifting of the
gearing results in a change of the relative
power of the two springs, enabling each
to alternate between the other and draw
the carriage back and forth, and mech

fecting the shifting.
"The Invention can be used as an Im
provement to any of the standard styles of
typewriters, as It does not affect any part
of tha mechanism except the carriage,
