THE BREVARD NEWS, skEVARD, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY AUGUST 4.. 1922 5g5ac5£5cIc5e3Eag£S5eSg52SB525a5a5a52S2525HSa5H5g525?S25Sa5E5^^^ NO JOB, GIVES HIS BLOOD Co-operation in Australia Easier of Develop ment Than in Any Other Land Former Service Man of Omaha Aids Sufferer and His Own Family at Same Time. By RANDOLPH BEDFORD, Australian Commission. ■ ’1 Co-operation in Australia, that takes hold of much of the farm stuffs at the railroad, hauls it on state railroads to co-operative markets, car ries the exportable surplus on ^^ovemment ships to oversea markets, and, in London, markets it co-operatively, was easier of development than in any other country. The land is new and the vested interests not insu perable. Such instances as a farmer marketing potatoes at $20 a ton and faowin<r that, without handling, the buyer received $40 a ton^ made the Australian farmer think hard; and the fact that the farmer rode in a cart and the commission agent in an automobile made the mental process permanent. One Australian co-operative—the North Coast Co-operative company of New South Wales—began life with $500 and a bale of lucerne hay, and last year its turnover was $25,000,000. Co-operation has made the Aus tralian butter trade worth $^i0,000,000 a year. The government of my own state of Queensland has establish ad a state produce agency to handl? such farm products as are not handled by local co-operations; but it prefers to see district co-operations, and is ready to finance them. There are state sugar mills—^because otherwise in certain districts cane could not be crushed; state wheat pools to stab ilize prices and give the fanner the new profit resulting from the elimi nation of the middleman. The private companies of fruit packers were starving ihe returned soldiers who had become pineapple raisers, and the Queensland governmont established a state cannery, marketing the prod ucts of all the canners in a government pool and giving the soldier- farmcrs a living wage. The crop of misery always roap^ble after war made these incursions of governmont into trade-encouragemont absolutely necessary. In war time the farmer is told to produce more, and in the rehabilitation period he continues increasing production on a falling market'—so that his pro duction must be doubled to represent the old volume of money values. Meantime, the consumer’s wages are to fall; and the only untouched increase in profits is the increase in interest—the wages of money left at 6 per cent in the time of high prices and becoming 12 per cent if prices are cut in half. It is those inexorable facts which have forced Australia into co-opera^ tion—common and state-fostered; and the progress therein can only be limited by the public control of finance, which is national credit; and only that. The statement that “jazz is in its infancy” is discouivjijing >vlien you re call that only the good die young. If bees in Alaska work until 10 r.*?® p. m. it ■vvould never do to be a hired man on an Alaska farm. The man in the smoker who scolds because women smoke is the one whose pipe smells like that. Some pof'i'lo cert;iinly would hate to have their hopes of a hereafter proved to be soientiiically accurate. The Chinese* are now reported eatins canned ’.Kt-f instead of rice. Is that what inak(.s them so belliirerent? Esthonia has been sending conimu- nisfs to prison. It appears that Trot- zky is much misunderstood in Esthonia. Being a nation of really discriml- natinjr people, Switzerland is now’ im porting much of i<s ISwiss cheese from the United States. Germany and Russia have abolished tipping. And with iiiarks and rubles worth so little even the waiters don’t seem to care. The heroic spirit of man has not always been bom under the shadow of awe-inspiring mountains, o n the rock-bound coast of the sea or in the busy, crowded w’ays of a great city. B’red W. Smith of Omaha has never lived in the pres ence of those magnilicent and noble works pf (lOd or man. In fact, his days have been spent on an unromantic Nebraska farm, in an Omaha packing plant and in the kitche^i of a base hospital In France. But these things have not kept him froni being the true hero. Not long ago, when a man was dying in an Omaha hospital, and the doctors be lieved that a pint of human blood might save his life, Fred Smith went innnediately to the hospital and of fered to let as much blood as w’as needed be taken from his body. “I W’as strong and a little blood didn’t mean much to me if it would save the other felh)w\s life,” he said. His act gained all the more com mendation because he had a wife and two small children to support and was out of a job. the east margin of Franklin street and in the line of lot No. 41, it being a corner of the Margaret E.

Today, Barney Oldfield is known as the “Master Tire Builder.” Starting with the crude tires which carried the “999” one mile in sixty seconds, Oldfield gradually de veloped his famous 03rds—a set of which covered 500 miles at eighty- eight miles an hour without a change. In three years Oldfield tires have won every important race on Amer ican speedways. They are the only American tires that have ever taken first place in the French Grand Prix. They have won for three consecu tive years in the 500-mile Indian apolis Sweepstakes. So far in 1922, Oldfieids have lowered four World’s Records and seven track records. The Wichita Test Run gave evi dence of Oldfield superiority in tour ing—when a set of four Cords cov ered 34,525 miles over rutted, frozen, winter roads—a performance at tested by the Mayor of Wichita. See your dealer and get a set of these rugged tires that Barney Old- fidd has developed and perfected throuo;h a lifetime of practical tire experience. Their performance will convince you that they are “The Mcst Trustworthy Tires BuilU’* r What? Auction Sale Fifty or More Qioice Building Lots WHERE? BREVARD, N. I When? AUGUST 8th.
