CAN NOT BE ELIMINATED.
Position of the Middiemen Secure In
the Worlds commerce.

Much is printed in the trade papers
about the cutting out of the middle
men, the jobbers and retailers. Busi-
ness reyolutionists have taken up the
theme, and have aired themselves.
Socialistic economists have advocated
the annihilation OF the middlemen as
class OF non-producers The farm
ers OF the country are trying to devise
means OF doing away with sharks
that produce nothing. and make a liv-
Ing on the labor of others But the
ones who are so desirous to see the
middlemen done away with will have
to wait for few thousand years.
The jobber and the little storekeeper
are necessary In the distribution of
products. They are most important
parts OF the machinery OF commerce.
To illustrate: A large manufacturing
company is located in an eastern city.
Its products are sold by more than
100000 stores. These stores are To-
Gated In all parts OF the United States.
Perhaps 1t costs the concern ten per
cent. to have its products distributed
by the jobbers. II the concern at
tempted to sell its products direct to
the retailers 1t would be necessary to
carry 100000 accounts.
There would be required a shipping
force OF several hundred men. The
freight on the small amounts of goods
that would be called for would be enor-
nous over the cost of shipping In
trainload or carload lots. The delay
In the transportation of goods a long
distance would be costly. Should the
company not send goods direct from
the factory. distributing stations
would have to be established. These
would have to be maintained at cost
greater than the ten per cent paid to
the jobber for the warehouse charges
and the carrying of the accounts, and
the employment of travellers. Be-
sides. the manufacturer would be COM
PEELED to employ an army OF travelling
men, or institute system Of trade
getting that would be more expensive.
The jobber sends out a traveller and
he sells few hundred kinds OF goods.
the makes of few hundred different
factories. Here we have cooperation
that is sane and profitable, and 1t is
doubtful whether the time will ever
come when the jobber and the traveller
will be out OF business. The present
system is the development Of eighteen
hundred years or more OF experience.
II is doubtful whether the inventive
brain Of man can devise any other
system OF distribution that will be an
improvement. Don't worry about the
middleman being driven out Of the
field Just yet.
The Elbert County tribune., 1908-01-02
Cooperative system. Weak.

Advocates of cooperative enter
prises point to the great success of
few English societies. Glowing re-
ports of how great are the savings to
the people Dy these cooperative Or
ganizations are given. But here the
law of compensation plays part.
While the cooperative methods are ex-
tolled, few who are active in coopera-
tive work show the other side of the
question. n some cooperative enthusl-
asst would dissect the report OF the
London board of trade, recently made,
1t would be found that since these CO.
operative societies have gained such
foothold more than half a million
workers in various lines have been af-
fected adversely; that those thrown
out of employment by cooperative eff
forts are objects of charity and are
burden to the different trade guilds.
The substitution of one store for a
hundred may mean economy, but when
thousands are thrown out of employ
ment by the system what other field
acords them a living?

The working man combines to protect
himself in his work and against the
cutting OF wages. and so 1t goes. The

Mr.. Enterprising Citizen. did you

Is in having your town recognized as
a good grain market, a place where
the farmers can dispose of their hogs
and all their products at as high prices

by the farmers?

miles about to sell their stock and do

business. The newcomers were built
on the wrong plan. They were out
after the money, and didn't care much
how they got 1t. The elevator man re-

found that he was not the kind OF man
that they wanted to deal with. The
new stock buyer was OF the same
stripe. He would beat the farmer
down to the last cent, and 1t was said
that the way he would weigh was
caution, and the fellows who had stock
to sell would steer clear of the town.
Farmers would drive a few miles fur
ther to another town. where they
would purchase the supplies that they
needed. 1t got so that whenever a
farmer was seen in the town 1t was
for the purpose Of paying taxes or
looking after some business at the
courthouse. To-day the town Is
dead one. Both the grain buyer and
the hig buyer are out of the town, but

WORLDS MASTER SCIENTIST

Lord Kelvin who died recently at his London
home, has been regarded as the worlds most dis
tinguished scientist for 40 years. Although
istry his successes In telegraphy. particularly ma
rine cable teegraphy. probably have brought
him the greatest renown.
Lord Kelvins name forever will be linked
with the laying OF the Atlantic cables. not only
the original cable, but several others which were
sunk during the ten fifteen years following
the initial experiment. When the problem OF ocean
telegraphy was first presented to the world there

however. the crop responds well to
dressings of manure or fertilizer, and
this is especially true in case only
ordinary tillage is given. Therefore,
unless the soil is known to be in
fertile condition, 1t is good policy to
provide liberally for the requirements
of the crop. The potato usually brings
a larger cash return per acre than
most farm crops and therefore war
rants a relatively large expenditure
for manure or fertilizers.
Instead of an elevated storage tank
many farmers are now using an under
ground air-pressure tank which can
not freeze in winter nor become un-
duly warm in summer; which obviates
the danger Of leakage or wind dam
age; and in which the water cannot
become foul or ill-tasting, because 1t
is thoroughly aerated by the COM
pressed air. Such a tank may be
placed in the cellar, or buried in the
ground; 1t can be filled by means Of
pump operated by hand power, wind
mill, gasoline, electric or hot-air en-
gine; 1t Is simple, durable and salts
factory. The Idea, in brief, is to take
an air-tight steel tank and pump
water into 1t from the bottom until the
air which originally filed the tank is
compressed, by the rising water, into
the upper half of tank. This gives
pressure enough to force a stream of
water on to the roof of the house
