Cooperation is nothing but men workIng together. If you go to buy an automobile and pay something down and something next month, you are asking the seller to cooperate with you. If you buy merchandise for your home on the installment plan you are asking the seller to cooperate with you. It is the same in industry. Work together, market your products together, take your profits or your losses together, and in the long run you will find the community better. "A hermit llves alone. He never progresses much. He stays in the same place and does the same things. But' those who work together accompUsh things.' Edmonds Speaks Clyde C. Edmonds, secretary of the Utah Poultry Producers Cooperative association, was called from the audience to make some remarks. He recounted the progress of the poultry industry in Utah from early days to the present. He compared the industry with that of sheep and cattle, and told of his experiences in a bank durlng a depression period a few years ago .when he was "sold" on the idea of making Utah poultry profitable. In the last analysis he asked: "The result ~s. what?" And all there knew that they could not deny good results. Alder Takes Stand Before the hall was turned over to the dancers for the remainder of the evening Prof. Byron Alder occupied the stand. He related the history of the egg industry in Utah, and told how before the product became recognized on the New York market the gathering from the poultry houses in Utah was sold for 12 cents a dozen, and how, after an organization was completed, the eggs with the Utah brand on the case sold for 25 cents per dozen higher than the producer could command in his home state. e;;._ • All Aboard for TOYLAND I • You'll en1oy every minute of your visit You won't need a bit of luggage for this visit . . . because TOYLAND is just as far as it is from your house to the J.

Trees have been placed along the sidewalks of the business district by the merchants and business men; home and store windows have been decorated with the colors of the season, with lights and other suitable adornment, and the business men have prepared to award a prize to the merchant whose window is voted the most attractive. The street lights have been decorated with bands of green and red, adding & plea.sing touch to the general color scheme. Inasmuch as Santa Claus has agreed to make such a long trip just to be with the good boys and girls of Midvale during this week, he is anxious that as many as possible come out and meet him. It isn't very often that he has a chance to say hello to everyone because he is so busy mak1 ing and distributing presents and toys, dolls, sleds, skates, trains and the thousands of other thi.ngs that please the hearts of those who are watching for his coming. Neither is it very often that the children have a. chance to meet old St. Nicholas, so, children, ask your mothers and daddies to take you downtown on Saturday, Tuesday or Wednesday evenings and get acquainted with this jolly old man who loves you so much.

H. G. C. Hallock Writes from China C. P. 0. Box No. 1234, Shanghai, China November 12, 1930. Dear Editor, You doubtless have many readers among farmers whom the Chinese class as second only to the officials. They may be interested in the god I enclose. He is "San-da-loh-te" the one Chinese farmers worship to get good harvests. The "highly civilized" China is a country of idols and idol-worship. The people have gods for every purpose and need for each and every class and occupation. I sometimes think China has as many gods as people! This farmers' god is really named "Koh-zen," meaning "grain-god." The Chinese often call men and gods this way, as Mr. One-eye or Mr. Pot-mark, or Mr. Crooked-foot, or Mr. Ironcrutch. You wlll notice that the god [ send has six hands. In the upper two hands he carries the sun (red) and the moon (green). If he turns the sun and the moon properly the seasons come to the advantage of the farmers. If not, then Spring, Snmmer, Autumn and Winter are bad. In the second pair of hands are the "rain-bell" and the "wind-charm" (7 stars of Great Bear). With the!!e he governs the winds and the rain so as to give the farmers (if he is pleased with them) sufficient wind and rain to make crops grow quickly and abundantly. Koh-zen's third two bands grip two swords. With these he slashes all the devils who would destroy or harm the crops of farms. Koh-zen has two eyes for each of his three heads and an extra one for good measure. Seven is a "perfect number." With his seven eyes he can see everything perfectly. He can so see the needs and supply them. He can see the dangers and devils and repel them. Is he not a useful sort of fellow? But they must worship him faithfully to keep him pleased. He is worshiped chiefly in the Spring enough to last the whole year. They set a fine feast before him nnd burn cadles and incense, themselves eating what he leaves! The eight red <'haracters express their prayers, "S-kyi bing-on, Zanhwa mo-zwen"- Mav the four seasons be peaceful, the silk and produce be abundant. The figure above is the "Pa-kua," a highly valued and much used charm. The four gods attending Koh-zen are powerful assi~ta.nts. Kohzen is very .busy and needs these fellows to run his errands and carry out his commands of mercy. You will thus see how the Chinese needs and desir~s are like those of Westerners, and how Chinese, to meet the needs, work out in their gods the attributes suited to supply their needs. How we wish they knew our one true God and realized how He is really living and able and willing to supply all these pictured needs and all other needs as well. It is our joy to live among this interesting people and lovingly point them to our wonderful Lord, not forcing our religion upon them but revealing "a more excellent Way," for them to adopt or reject according to their own sweet will. Pray for this great people. May you and friends have a very Merry Christmas and a Prosper-~ ous New Year. L.. Yours in Christ's glad service, (Rev.) H.
