,' THE KIND OF HUSBANDS WO.
MEN WANT
The following two letters were tuk
ei' tiom the Progressive Farmei, de
scribing the kind of husbands these
, two women wanted: -
A Model Hiuland
1 am a rural school teacher and
~ when 1 find a man who has strength
of mind, strength of body, and
strength of will, and whom 1 know
to be clean inside and out; who neith
er looks up to the rich, nor down on
the poor; who Can lose without squeal
ing and \vin without bragging; who
is always considerate of women and
I children, respectful to old people; too
I brave to lio; too generous to cheat,
and who takes his share of the world
and lets other peopel hav*> theirs, 1
, will rejoice to know thatl have found
jnnan possessing what I consider suf
' fluent qualities to make not only a
I model man hut a star husband.
A. K. M.
A Limited Monarchy Wanted
For my future husband, I want a
companionable man, one with whom
1 tun congenial, one who is a good
pal. I would not get tired of him
I and he would not get tired of home.
I want him to boss me to the ilmit.
It does not seem as though we could
; be good pals and have that so but-wv>
, could. I absolutely want him to be
the boss, but in the right way. 1 do
not want him to be offensive and'rudc
and yet 1 want him to be beyond all
question the head ol' the house.
1 do not want him to make a baby
' iloll of me. 1 do not want to sleep
until 9:30, but want to get up and eat
breakfast with him, and cook it too,
if necessary.
I should like him to earn a good
living. I do not set any minimum
am) 1 do not balk at work, but 1
could not be happy With a man unless
I respected him, and it is hard to re
spect one who is not successful or
has not the qualities of success.
I do not want him to use profane
language.
1 do not want him to drink. He
positively cannot do that nnd live with
me.
I want him to be dignified but not
so wooden that there is no life or
laughter in him. Still I wish to stress
the fact that dignity would lie a very
important quality. I could not love
a clown. I would rather have him
pull a long face than always be grin
ning and swirking.

article on cooperative marketing la

I want to aay right here that Oti.
I Webb and tha warehousemen of
•ton-Salem and other cities and tans
in the State have helped to maka-'Cu
farmers what they are, as well as U(
l'armers have helped to make the citiee
and towns what they are. Colonel
Webb and t ('warehousemen have boca
friends to the farmer and always grr
on him good advice I am glad that
the cities and towns have built up am
prospered as well a* they have while
the farmers have prospered also. I
J don't think 1 would like the cooperer
tion plan of wiling tobacco. 1 don't
like the name of the leader. It doeest
sound like Moses, it sounds like a for*
eigu bom name.
Now brother farmers, why aead a*
way off to California for a man who
possibly never saw u plant of tobacco
to coma to the three tobacco states
to organize u tobacco cooperative mar
keting system for the farmers? Did
n't we have a man in these state* who
knew something about tobacco and
had sense enough to organize a co
operative association for the fsurniert l
If we did not expect to retaoahrdl
If we did not have such a man, h®W
muy we expect to run one of the larg
est undertakings the farmers of the
tobacco bolt have ever seen. I feav .
the n» w plan would lead farmers in
the wilderness of trouble for Ave years
where there will be grumbling, kicfc«
ing and gnashing of teeth.
Some thirty years ago a Mr. ttlanfc
came into our neighborhood, selliaff
farm rights lo cure all kinds of rough
green tobacco yellow by asteara pro
cess. He believed in his plan, like the
advocates of the co-operative market
ing ilo now. So fifteen of us farmers
bought each a farm right at 916 a
farm right. We tried the new plan
and all of us went busted on curing,
ruined our tobacco and each of ne
lost that year from three to five hun
dred dollars by the foolish plan. "All
is not gold that gittera."
1 have been waiting for some tbny
to isea if some farmer woud not 6mm
out in opposition to this foolish lies \
of co-operative marketing. I hava .1
met many good old farmers lately '
that are very much opposed to any
change in the marketing system, I
think the cooperative plan is altogeth
er impracticable. It just cant be
done satisfactorily.
„ I now think that it would be vwjr
sensible, for the leaders and a4*e»
rates of the new plan to "stop, leek
and listen." I have given the skttfect
serious thought an ddon't see aaytfefag
in it fo rthe future but trouble fciul
uisappointment. Supply and demand
ulways make good or bed prices for
tobacco. If the plan could possibly
work, we farmers would not get lay
more than we do now at the ware-
And to let part of majrtm all
our tobacco go on credit would tot
suit us.
1 know I would not like to sign up
for five years just to get to sell my
tobacco on a credit for on# or frve
years. When 1 sell tobacco, I want
my money right than. Tkat la ktf
