GOOD REASON
CO-OP^MARKETING
Fo rthose who doubt the good of
cooperative marketing we are giving
an incident ju.it as it occurred in oui
own county of Martin recently. A
farmer and his share cropper anang
ed turn over their whole crop of pea
nuts to the exchange under the con
tract of the land owner. This was
done less thirty bags which could not
i»e gotten in the car. Returns were
promptly nrmts anil rm advance or
1-2 was allowed which was 2 -cents
per pound. In the meantime the grow
er of the peanuts having 110 chanct
to get them in a ill car decided to
sell them in the open market an.
went to the man who acted a: th
association aent in weighing and
grading his other peas and whose
weights and grades were entirely ac
ccptable to the association.
Now he faces the farmer as an in
di pendent buyei and lie proceeds to
grade them at the 2 1-2 cent piiis
and dock tlieni four pounds to tin
bag in weight. So the farmer gel.
2 1-2 cents per pound for peanut,
sold to the agent of the trust, while I
gets 2 cents advanced for peanuts
sold to the association, arid there i.«
hardly any doubt tlnat he will realizi
another 2 cents Inter on. In fact then
get even more than 2 cents later 011.
is a good chance that the farmer will

Ihc cooperatum of the parents tf
the county is sought by Dr. W 8
Warren, county physician and
tine officer, inpreventing the spread otf
Scarlet fev*r as a few coses have
boen reported already.
Frequently a child will have a rary
mild case of scarlet fever and hard
ly t* sick at uLI but complication* wlli
Wcoui* evident later. —The glands a
bout the neck form kernels which of
ten get to be large and burst. La the
discharge, as also in the discharge
from tins ear, we know the poison of
the disease exists. The middle eat
may become infected and an abases
develop, resulting in a running ear and
later ueaiuess. Many people are hard
of hearing because of having had evt®
a mild case of scarlet fever. The kid
nfyii uro alloc tod often and death re
suits froin acute Bright'* disease area
alter complete recovery. Tlu; heart is
sometimes left weak the valves aa veil
as the heart muscles miy be rtlsoancd
and the child wdi have a leaking heart.
Since a uuld cae of soarlet fever may
bring on such conditio!.* as to cause
our children to aie or possibly be nf
dieted for life, jou wLI see why we
should try to prevent it.
Cause and Prevention
We know tlio germ o" poison which
gives olio scarlet fuvur is passed 00
in the discharge of tue ivose and throat
of those sick wuli the disease. While
it has not been proved lefuutely that •
..curlet iWver is spread oy carriers as
uas been dono in the casos of diptheria
and typhoid fever, yet sucli a conth-
Uou is most hkeiy and these carriers
play an important part in the spread
of scarlet fever. Several year# ago
it was considered that there was dan
yor of contracting the disease from
the skin which poeUxl from the pa
tient, but now, in view of recent know
ledge, we do not beiive such to be the
case. Anyway It has been proven de
iuutely |bat the germ or poises, if
present in the cast off slun,soondles.
lu dip then* we can advise toxin anu
toxin to pi event the disease; in lym
phoid fever, typhoid inoculation; in
smallpox, successful vaccination. Vkil
we have nothing to offer of A simi

By keeping the Augers, pencils, etc..

NOTHING OVERLOOKED
A salesman sold a bill gools to a -
merchant in a small town. Thay were
returned as unsatisfactory. The whole
sale house undertook to collect any
way and drnw a sight draft on the
bank at the customer's town. The
bunk returned the draft unpaid. Then
the house wrote to the sillage post
muster and usked if the merchant was •
good for the amount of the bill. Tbs
letter was returned O. K.'d as the bot
tom. Next the postmaster was ask
ed to put the blll_ in the hande of a
local luwyer for collection. The an
swer received by the wholesaler ran
as follows:
"The undersigned is tht merchant
on whom you tried to palm off your
worthless junk. The undersigned is
also the president of the bank that
returned your draft. The undandgn
od is also the lawyer whom you tried
to get to collect your bill. And if
the undersigned were not also the pas
tor of the local church theundanlf*-
ed would tell you to go straight to the
devil."—American Legion Weekly.
