6, and the Isw gives no discretion to
the commission to modify the same.
<2. No girl under 14 years of age
?hall be permitted to work in any of
the occupations mentioned in section

fi woman hood of the State is to be pro

tender age certainly should not be al
lowed to run the dangers of associa
tion Inherent in employment in public
places . / .

GAL TWO ? CHILD WELFARE
Employments* Not Prohibited.
It 1b to be noted thai the law does
not prohibit the 'employment of chil
dren in occupations other than those
enumerated in section 5, such as far
ming and domestic employment. It
is assumed, bIbo. that it does not af
fect children who are kept by their
parents under their direct personal
control In or about places owned and
operated by the parents Ahemselves,
except in prohibited hourC, The rea
son for this is that parents are sup
posed to control and care for their
own children whereve* they maybe
with them.
(irnrral Parpose.
The Commlwlon feels that it should
call the attention of parents, public of
ficers, ministers, educators, social
workess, and thinker*, ana the pubUc
generally to the> fact that the Legisla-v
ture Intended this act to M a measure
for child welfare and to solicit the aid
and cooperation of all in securing the
benefltfent purpose InMtaded. To this
end it is necessary to make possible
{effort to provide whoresonie condi
tions of environment (Or children,
while not In school or employed. Such
j environment must depend upon better
'home Influences, more parental thou
ght and care, and more public co-op
eration in the way of playgrounds and
other wholesone recreation. It Is
still true that an "Idle brain I* the de
vil's workshop," and juvenile delin
quency arises in nearly all caMt from
Idleness or lack of proper direction at
youthful energy. .

asking u? to print three of

Here are his three Bret reasons:
*1. It Is a Here Eeeaeatad Flas of
"It saves warehouse commisttona
and other warehouse charga* tor sell*
|I"C. aggregating about i per etet. - Br
selling directly to bl? buyers, manu
facturers and exporters. Ok* salaries
of hundred* of buyers now eaployed
by these to buy the tobacco they noed
on hundreds of markets ? salaries
to thousands and hundreds of thous
ands of dollars annually ? can be sav
ed. A few expert salesmen represent
In* the Association, con t rolling under
?binding gve-year contract* ? sot- lees -
thnn ftl anil prnhnhly 7f? twir rant nr .
more W all the bright tobacco of the |
'Bright Tobacco Belt,' can sell at com
paratjvely small expense to a tow ex
pert buyers representing the pure hSs
ers of bright tobacco any affioqnt Of
any grade desired to bo delivered at
any time, processed in any fcnjulltiun
I required. Co-ope raU re marketing
[means, therefore, a more economical
and convenient method not 'only of sell
ing but also of buying. __
"There ought to be also an Immense
saving In the expense of transporta
tion. The tobacco in large quantities
under large contracts could be assem
bled and transported In carloads,
train-loads, ship-loads. When the
buyer has- the fixing of the pflce, as
he does under the present system' he
will nathrally deduct the cost of buy
ing and transportation, so that the
seller or grower really pays these ex
pensea. These immense savings In
the overhead expense of selling and
transporting, if added to the price of
the tobacco, would greatly Increase
his price and profits ? probably 20 per
cent or more ? without necessarily re
ducing the profits of the buyer or In
creasing the cost to the consumer.
"2. It In a More Intelligent, Business
like Method of Selling.
"It substitutes sensible merchandis
ing for Benseless dumping. It means
avoiding 'glutted markets,' always one
of the chief causes of low prices, by
intelligent distributing and gradual
selling ? selling to demand by the As
Isociatlon's experts In selling and trans
porta tlon . Under the present system,
83 per cent of the tobacco Is sold in
I two months. It Is manufactured and
the manufactured product sold throu
cperatlve marketing Is nothing* but
taking this big business of selling the
I growers' tobacco arid applying the
'simple principles of successful selling,
principles practiced by every other
big successful selling business In the
world.

most favorable time on the most fav

price, the Association provides for fi

him upon delivery of hlH prodnrt .from

Lat lirico at tiiac time, this to be fol
lowed by periodical remittances of his
pro rata, share of sales made from
hime To Time, after deducting the ex
'peaae of Belling. This tha r?r
mer from sacrifice sales under finan
cial distress, and, according to the ex
perlence of similar associations else
where, enables him gradually to dis
place a ruinous credit system with a
safe 'cash system' of crop production.
"It Is estimated that three out of
four of the tobacco growers ? of
State are now producing their .
Ion a credit basis under crop tlenj
mortgages. In California only I
cent of the members of Co-ope/^uiv
Marketing Associations produce their
crops on a credit. The percentage
was formerly about the same in Cali
fornia as In Nbrth Carolina. It Is es
timated there that it requires only
|three years to change the production
of any commodity from a credit to, a
leash basis by co-operative market
ing."
