for Miss Alice, who read it with
alarm:

Miss Alice cried the better part OF
the day after the receipt of the note
and Miss Lucinda for once was not

At seven that evening the door bell
rang and Miss Lucinda admitted Mr.
Williams and showed him into the par.

her limp hand.

Necessity for Cooperation.

It is true that country life has improved
greatly in attractiveness. health and COM
fort and that the farmers earnings are
higher than they We're. But city life Is
advancing even more rapidly, because OF
the greater attention which Is being given
by the citizens of the towns to their own
betterment For just this reason the In
PRODUCTION Of effective agricultural CO.
operation throughout the United States is
of the first Importance. Where farmers
are organized comparatively they not
only avail themselves much more read
lily of business opportunities and I'M
proved methods, but 1t Is found that the
organizations which bring them together
in the work of their lives are used also
for social and intellectual advancement
The cooperative plan Is the best plan
of organization wherever men have the
right spirit to carry 1t out. Under this
plan any business undertaking Is man
aged by a committee; every man has
one vote, and only one vote: and every
one gets profits according to what he
sells or buys or supplies. 1t develops In
dividual responsibility and has moral
as well as a financial value over any
other plan.
I desire only to take counsel with the
farmers as fellow-citizens. 1t Is not the
problem of the farmers alone that am
discussing with them. but problem
which affects every city as well as every
farm in the country. II Is problem
! which the working farmers will have to
solve for themselves; but it is a problem
| which also affects in only less degree all
| the rest of US, and therefore II we can
| wander any help toward its solution, 1t Is
not only our duty but our interest to do

Work to Help the Farmers.

The commission has tried to help the
farmers to see clearly their own prob
lem and to see 1t as whole: to distin-
euish clearly between what the govern
ment can do and what the farmers must
do for themselves; and 1t wishes to bring
not only the farmers, but the nation as
a whole, to realize that the growing Of
crops, though an essential part, Is only
part OF country life. Crop growing Is
the essential foundation, but 1t Is no
less essential that the farmer shall get
an adequate return for what he grows;
and 1t is no less essential-indeed, 1t Is
literally vital-that he and his wife and
his children shall lead the right kind
OF life.

Errors About Judges.

Editor Reveille:
The statement in your esteemed

Hon. H. c. Mounger was the first
circuit judge furnished by Clai-

Joshua G. Clarke of Claiborne
county, a member of the constitu-
tional convention of 1877, became
supreme and CIRCUIT judge in
1873 and was promoted to chan.
cellor in 1921 of the superior court
of chancery. He was the first
chancellor of the state. To be
correct on the supreme court
judges, we had two, Joshua G..
