1 CO-OPERATIVE MARKET IWC OF TOBACCO To the Editor: Replying to the article of Mr. H. C. Bragaw defending co-operative marketing of tobacco, I agree with Bragaw that the farmers welcome criticism of the plan?they ahonld at any rate. I feel sure too that there are certain (prejudiced) people who don't care for the other side te be exposed, or discussed; their minds are closed as to which is the better plan, and if anybody disagrees with them, they are bad actors?Mr. Sapiro said as much when he referred to the Warehousemen of Rocky Mount, Greenville, Wilson and Kinston. They are "wolves" and. everything else that grabs at the fanner's throats, Sucking the very lu* mwu out its prey. In ordv. to live in harmony with the co-operati\4 association, one must believe the teachings of their leaders; you have no right to think for yourself. n ?it- ? ? . ... I i-ersunmiy speaking, my mind is open to conviction. That which will help the fanner, will naturally help me. His success is my success! And so is his failure my failure. It is with this thought ever in mind that I ask the fanner to consider carefully this plan of co-operative marketing. He should go into it thoroughly? just as he would any other propo aition involving thousands of dollars; possibly the 'savings of a life-time. He should bear in mind that it is lots easier to lose a fortune (whether large or small), than it is to listen to some one "telling him how to make one. It is better to be safe than sorry ??so why not get a good lawyer and get his advice? Have him look over the 5-year contract? which you are asked to sign, and let him advise you |pne way or the other. It will be too late io get a lawyer after you have placed your name on the dotted line. The TobaCco Growers' Co-Opera tive Association have attorneys em ployed, good ones too?they draw up these contracts, for the protection of whom. Ifs only right that the farm ers employ counsel for their protec tion. Ask your attorney "where will the association get the money to pay the members for their tobacco?" Will they .borrow on the crop itself or arill the members, individually and collectively be responsible for that loan? We know that no one is going to make a loan of one million or one hundred million dollars to any as sociation, or their officers, without some mighty good security. Who's going to furnish the security? Is the dear farmer who signs a 4-year contract, turning his tobaceo crop over (without security) to the as sociation, amounting to thousands of dollars?going to become responsible also for the loan of these millions of dollar*, the interest thereon, and the other expenses, "overhead" and otherwise, salaries of their officers, stenographers, bookkeepers and things too numeous to mention? Sure! Somebody has to pay it, Mr. Bragaw says, "the officers of this as ciation have told the -farmers, whose interest they have sought to enlist in this movement?that through and by this organization we will be enabled to secure the money to do these things." It appears to me that they have sought not only the interest of the farmer, but his principal too. Mr. Bragaw flatters me when he infers that G. am paid to persuade the dear farmer not to sign. And asks who pays it. For Mr. Bragaw's information, and any one else inter ested?I wish to say that I am one person writing on the subject?who receives no pay. I am interested for one reason, and one only?it's simply this: I want the farmer to be abso lutely sure he is right before jump ing into ? 6-year proposition, where in he might lose his all. Itis pos sible, you'll admit. If the farmer is sure it's what he wants, and the size load he feels that he can carry, then let him sign. But he should get in touch with his fellow farmers in the peanut section of North Caro lina and Virginia, those who belong to the Peanut Growers' Association. Ask them what they think of it now. What benefits have they received, if any. What has the cost been to them as members, and what would they give to get out of the 7-year con tract which they signed. And it wouldn't be bad to write the mer chants over in that section, and ask them what the pooling of the crap (peanut) has done to them in a busi ness way?and what effect it has had on collections. The Co-Operative Growers' Asso ciation invite criticism, so it's up tp -the farmers, prospective members, to look into the plan from every angle ?and to be sure that it is the right thing to go into. If you And it is a good thing as you have been told, and that your fortune lies just ahead of you?and that it can only be secured by becoming a member of the "co ops" then go to it??L. A.

FOX SPOILS THE FUK XJ7HEN Toby Dog and Ikey Drake *? were tired of Hying in the barn yard they did hot know that Mr. Fox waa going to apoil all their fun, or they would not have set up housekeeping In a hat by the river cioee to the woods. Ikey Drake said he was tired of hav ing all of his relatives quacking after htm every time he went anywhere, and Mr. Dog said he was tired of sleeping with both eyes open at night to watch fo? the fanner,. Wh^p in the daytime he was always chained up. So one night off they tram^aC 5S** JWk to Uve in a hut by the river, and all went well until Mr. Dog growled over hav ing So many worms for food instead of "a nice ham bone or something." Ikey Drake began to quack loudly that bones were too hard to digest and that Mr. Dog Would find his health mnch better If he made a diet??f things such as he ate. It was Just then that Mr. Fox, stroll ing by in the woods, heard the noise and came that way to see what was going on. When he saw fat Ikey Alt "?jW Hmj (Nlufci. Drake he forgot all about Toby, only that be was a young dog and might be fooled If necessary. He wanted Ikey. very much for a dinner some night, so he set his wits at work to find a way. The next day Ikey went swimming on the pond and Mr. Fox, who was wat&lng In the woods, strolled along to the hut and said: "Ah, I see I have a neighbor. Mr. Dog! I do not live far from here, and you and I ought to have some fun hunting. Do you like chasing rab bits T" "Rabbits repeated Toby, his ears sticking- straight up. "I love nothing better. Show me one and see." Mr. Fox knew Just where to take Toby Dog, and it was not long before he was running through the woods nfter poor Mr. Habblt, and Mr. Vox, knowing that Toby would be buay for some time, ran back to the hut to wait for Xkey Drake. Mow It happened that Ikey had met all hi* family on the pond, and be cause they were afraid he would leave them again followed him back to the hut. In spite of all poor Ikey could do to get rid of them. Mr. Fox, who was hiding Inside, could hardly keep still, he was so anxious to pounce upon them. His eyes sparkled as Ikey and his family came nearer, du? surprise, he heard Ikey telling them, "Ton better go home; old Mr. Fox might be around." "He will get you, too, Ikey," said one plunty duck. "Why don't you runr "I am not afraid of Mr. Fox," pre tended Ikey, strutting toward the hut, "but If you will all Home ril come along soon. There, what did I tell youl" be said, pointing to the tip of Mr. Fox's nose sticking through where the boards were broken. Of course, Ikey Drake thought It was Tobey Dog's nose, and he laughed ne lata #nmlla Ia anw ? I BO u?o luiiiiij imucu iv iuu , uui uc soon changed It to a loud "Quack I" and ran, tor Mr. Fox, thinking all the plump ducks would get away, came running out after them. But, luckily, he got only a few tall feather* and the ducks swam safely home. When Tobey Dog missed Mr. Fox he began to think of poor Ikey,* and away he ran for the hut by the river, to And only the tail feathers of poor Ikey strewn by th/ water aide. Sad ly he went back to the farm, and he made up his mind on the way to watch over Ikey's family from now on, to make up for leaving poor Ikey to his sad fate, for, of course, he was sure Mr. Fox had caught him and carried him off td his den. But the first ones he saw when he reached the barn yard were Ikey Drake and his fam ily. "Did you chase Mr. FoxT" they all asked, for Toby Dog looked very warm from running. "He won't bother you any more," said Tobey. But he never told Ikey how Mr. Fox had got him to go hunt ing, and then had run back to catch Ikey Drake. However, he kept his word, for Mr. Fox did not bother them any more. Toby Dog slept none that night, and when Mr. Fox came skulking around he was after him with a bound, and by the way he acted Mr. Fox knew that if he wanted to Uve he had better keep away from that farm.

They all know that the success of h beautiful pageant depends upon its crowning glory, and each maid prays for a becoming hat?one that will do all that a bat can do for fair faces. The genius of milliners glows In the creation of lovely things for great occasions that call for the pic turesque and leave their fancy un hampered. They revel In airy ma terials. graceful shapes, beautiful colors and make the most of such opportunities. In the group of hats shWwn here, maids will find cause for rejoicing. They revJel the line hand of the artist who knows how to take advantage of the mode and manipulate it to suit the occasion, and to Insure becomlng ness. They are a flattering lot and Include the beloved lace hat and a brown mallnes model which fashion smiles upon. When this year's brides maid's hat Is not In a pale color or white, It is because It Is running after one of two new favorites?beige and wood brown. The pretty model at the lower right In the picture Is a triumph eg brown and silver In which brown mallnes veils n soft braid crown and silver lace brim, and brown grapes droop from a chou of silver lace. The white hat at the right with facing of chiffon makes a pretty back ground for various flower trimmings set on the brim. It is shown with a collar of silver-edged ribbon and a wreath of little fruits and flowers. Small round beads set around the crown repeat whatever color Is shown for the collar and facing. Bead and ribbon trimming of a different sort provide the only color on the hat with brim of Hlllen-of-the-valley posed over a transparent underbrim. Hair braid, silver tinsel, and georgette make the hat at the upper right, with the soft crown and floppy brim dear to the hearts of bridesmaids. Grapes In silver add a color dangle from the brim. Organdie appeals to the de signer of bridesmaids' hats and is used to make large flowers that are posed on the brims of lace or other trans parent hats, and silver ribbon is im mensely effective with them.
