How a Texas Editor 'Got
There'
A Texas newspaper publisher win
recently retired with $50,000 in the
bank was asked how he did it. and
replied as follows: "I attribute my
ability to retire with a $50,000 hank
account, after thirty years in the
country newspaper field, to close application
to duty, alwavs hewing to
the mark and letting the chips fall
where they may,, the most rigorous
yule of economy. Never spending a
cent foolishly, everlastingly keeping
at my job with a whole heart?and
the death of an uncle who left me
$49,999.50."?-Ex.
The Value of Mission
Study
Our Lord's last command to his
4eseiples while here upon earth was.
"Go ye into all the world and preach
the gospel to every creature".. If
then We are working on a world
program, we must know the world
How? through Mission study. "-The
field is the-world".-says our Master,
Then how we do need to study that
field!
A constant s'tudv of missions tnk.
ing up the various countries from
various angles, will surely broaden
our vasion and increase our' knowledge,
bringing before our hearts
and minds the people of the world
in their needs, in their sorrow, in
their darkness and despair, until w>
shall more and more desire to fulfill
that last command; and knowing
these conditio:1 s. we shall be more
ready to answer God's . call to
nervice, but if we go on ignorant of
he world and its reed of a Savior,
then our lives are wasted -and preJcous
souls are lost.

; SPITLESS TOWN ; j
"No: a very elegor.t title!" you say. 1
1 N"o, indeed, and not a very elegant
hab.t you wiil agree. Not a very
legant thin:.: to (k. this spitting. In
' fact a very disgusting species of
j license.
You do not indulge -n it? So much
the better then, but do you allow your J
friends, your father, your brother,
your husband, or your sen to do it?
SO-O-O-O? You do not spread disvasc
yourself you are guilty of ar.
offense against decency and yet you
i permit your associates to do and be
i so without voicing a protest Then ^
YOU too might be considered respon- {
sible in a small measure for epidemics,
for suffering and for death.
1 kr.ew a 1 ttle boy once,?a lad of 1
\ about nir.e years, lie was bedridden. ! <
: had been so for over a year when I
j first saw him. Pitiful little chap?j:
Alex! Had tube ro-ale-is of the bones 1
; and the knee joint was larger than a ' ,
| football, by a goo-t deal. The particles !
of bone were coming through the fit sr. i
which was also diseased. The odor i
vus so off ens \e that r< - r.c ut * e
j doctor and the g? ? ?i nurses, the father, j
:nd the mother would visit r.i? nos- |
pital room. One day, with his face I'
quivering, he turned .is appealing
eyes to mine and said, "i wish the ,
?ther children would come in and ,
play with me. Not even the little;,
Jesus would come to see me. I guess." (
You think i should not till you such
a story? How else am I going to
make you see how terrible a thing it
may be to expectorate in public
places, or t?.r that matter in anv ulace
except into a handkerchief or it?
equivalent, which can be boiled or
burned. How can you care unless you
know of some of these awful constqeunces,
to children especially, which
follow carelessness-.
I know the old excuse. You and
they "have not the germs of tuber
culosis in your non- and throat." Ho**
do you know? Pneumonia, influenza,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, and most of
the other infections?how are they
spread if not in this way and by
coughing ar.d sneezing improperly?
Little children are the ones who are
most frequently endangered because
?f their great susceptibility. Doctors
and nurses are all the time seeing just
such suffering Alex went through.
It is not rare. It s not necessary.
Use your scouring powders and
your soaps, by all means, bat in the
name of pity and decency, wipe out
the prevalent habit of spitting. Make
yours a "spitless town" in the full
meaning of the t< rm.
the harvest that he will send forth
laborers int?> his hut vest.'' We
cannot pray intelligently for the?
world and the work of Christ, in the
world if we do not know the world, j
j We cannot live intelligently fot j
'the cause of Chii.-t in the World it i
I ve do not know the needs of the (
world and we will not want to give
unless we know why we give. In
'his day of strenuous living and
ceaseless activity, when all the world
is going at -stich a rapid pace, how
we do need to take time to pray.
,iow: u'o do* need to know how to
rive, how we <lo nee?i to study, to J
how ourselves "approved unto God" j
We cannot turn hack the wheels of J
time and co to school again, for we
are women with, cares and responsibilities,
that call us to other walks in
life, hut thanks to our W. M. U. we
can follow their plan of study thereby
preventing ourselves from lagging
behind in life's face.

HOW THE DANES
CO-OPERATE
FOR PRODUCTION

products. taken as a whole. Ther*
are communities that have made
large success on a small scale, hut !
fail to find anything in Europe in
the cooperative marketing of lain
products that approaches in it.- .
efficiency or organization with < :
cotton, tobacco, fruit and other
modity cooperatives of this countty
For instance, in Denmark, the
heralded classic land of cooperative
marketing, while 90 tin ^ hl?i
butter is trade cooperatively, prior t<
191 1 not over 15 per cent <.f it had
been marketed cooperatively a':*,
since then probably not over 20 pei
cent or one fifth has been mnrketci
cooper atively.
The density of population and th<
nearness of markets, and their demands,
made cooperative marketing
less essential. Economical or efficient
production was their piohlem. as il
is rapidly becoming our impcrativt
problem, and they have devoted theii
attention to it and through educatior
and cooperation have come nearei
solving it than any other l'arm people
with which I am acquainted. Let m<
give you an example of what 1 mear
when 1 speak of cooperative production.
Euglar.d is the greatest foo<
market in the world, considering it:
size. There is a demand for pork ir
England, not particularly Danish pork
hut for pork of uniformly high
quality and England, as all the rest o|
the world, will pay a good price foj
uniform and high quality.
Denmark set out deliberately t?
supply that demand for hacon. not
hacon in its restricted sen.-e, as \v(
understand it. hot for pork ??f a
uniform, mild cure ami high quality.
The so-called Danish hacon which ioxperted,
is in -fact the Wiltshireside,
one-half the hog cured in ?>ne
piece and shippd in that form.
There were cooperative school:
and other educational means employ,
ed for the education of the farmers
hut I can only give you briefly a
few facts regarding how this bacoof
uniform and high quality is produced
cooperatively.
First, ther'e are cooperative breeding
farms for the improvement of
the breeds by breeding.
Second, a type of hog is chosen
developed and maintained l?y co
operation that will produce a hit?h
quality of pork. Two white bieeds
and only two. are used.
Third, there is not only enforcement
of those heed requirements
but there is also supervision by co
operation in the feeding,.
Fourth. &o hog weighing les.than.T'55
pounds can l?e delivered to
the" packing plant by a cooperative
