In a recent issue the Baltimore sun
commenting upon organizations OF
farmers that are prospecting and doing
good says:
Notable among these is the Farm
ers' Exchange on the Eastern Shore
of Virginia. This organization 40
gradually extending up into the neign-
boring counties of Maryland, and
according to reports, it has made
farming profitable where it was not
profitable before. This has been ac-
complished by the use of intelligence
in marketing products. The Tobacco
Growers Association is working upon
the same idea, with a good prospect
of beneficial results. There does
seem to be too little relation between
the price that the consumer Ill the
CITY paws for food and The price thao
the producer receives for it. There
NAV he a glut in a particular market
for certain fruit or vegetables, the
farmer receiving nothing for his con
signment. And at the same time tne
consumer when he goes TO Market
finds that he has to pay full price.
It was to meet just this condition that
the Eastern Shore Exchange was es-
tablished. The officers OF the hA-
change inform themselves through
the telegraph of the condition OF tne
market in various cities, and to those
cities where there is danger OF gluU
they do not ship until conditions I'M
prove"
The commentator of the Sun is
gratifying but it could have gone
further and said that the reputation
of the Exchange is as wide as the
country and as an organization OF
farmers is recognized as the best Ill
the land, not only because OF l's
methods in marketing our produce
bat in its preparation for market by
properly grading and inspecting IT,
But it has not yet attained the per-
lection it should and would have, II
all of our farmers would give 1t their
encouragement ard support. That
there is strength in union no one DIS
putes and it is common sense to be-
ieve, that the greater the concert OF
action on the part of our farmers, the
more likely it is, that they could de-
mand their rights and get them. The
members of the Exchange, If they
remember the stagnation that pre-
vailed in all lines of business before
their organization was effected and
the prosperity it brought with it,
cannot fail to see what break IN
their ranks would mean now and the
still greater benefit which would
accrue to them if every farmer was a
member of their organization. Elk.
perience has taught them that as in
dividuals they cannot handle theil
products proftably, that co-operatior
is necessary on their part, II they
would not chi Get tthe-proper returns
for their bokbut would place them
selves in position to deal better
with the labor problem and buy to
better advantage fertilizers and othel
things used by them. If not mem

If your bread and pastry is the
soggy, indigestible misery-making
kind. It's dollars to doughnuts
that the FLOUR is guilty of the
offense.
Our flour makes light, white, de-
licious bread and pastry always.
"Poor Luck" is unknown, where
it rules the cooking. 1t insures
good results because it is uniform
in quality-Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and every day in the
week the BEST.
Candidly, can you afford to go on
using hap-hazard flour when our
mill-to-consumer system puts our
superior product in your home at
less expense?
We cut out the retailers profits.
We sell you flour direct at whole
sale prices. We will save YOU all
those dollars that the retail dealer
has previously pocketed.
Try our method. You'll never go
back to the old way. Write us for

Contract VS.. Percentage.

SOutTdCt Vs.. iCOhNuSCs
The new board of aldermen, after
considerable discussion of the rela-
tive merits and effectiveness of the
percentage or contract system of
cellecting taxes, adopted the con-
tract system. Aid Staples, who was
ON the board last year, and saw how
aGectively the contract system
worked, voted with the two republi-
can members.
Aid. Stuart, who favored the per-
centage plan, argued that the tax
COLLECTORS warrant and bond we're just
~ strong as the contract. II the
notices for election are legally drawn
md legally posted; if the aldermen
are legally qualified; if the assessors
are legally elected and qualified; i!
the tax is properly assessed and the
description sufficient, aud finally il
some tax dodger DIES not fad some
Eoophole through which he can es
cape-the tax can be collected.
No dou 1t Of it, at all But "the
proof of the pudding is in the eating.
The fact remains that the contract
plan is the oaly one by which, in re-
cent years. at least, the tu tax has
been realized by the city," The new
board is to be commended for adept
Ing this plan, which has proven so
efficient.
