prerequisite for many important rura
undertakings. They are prerequisite
for better marketing. for better schools,
for comfortable living and for the pro-
m1tion of social life.
There is obvious need Of organization
for sanitary purposes and for social de-
veIopment. whether all these shah
come thrs Ugh definite attack of private
or public agencies. or IA by products,
makes no difference; they must coma.
We can no longer entertain the notion
that rural life shall remain isolated, dis
-jointed and unorganized. Its organi
cation is national, economic and social
necessity. 1t is more difficult to or
ganize a scattered rural population than
a concentrated one, but the great need
is to give the rural population at least
approximately the primary advantages
which the town enjoys. The town is
organization. and because of its organi-
cation and of its consequent advantages
it has tended to attract to it the most
ambitious youth of the country The
task of rural organization is difficult,
but as the greatest educator of Amer
lea has said: 1.-THE difficulty of task
constitutes no reason for declining it. -
Ard in his way lies the largest promise
for national upbuilding and stability.

MAKE DISH WASHING EASIER
BY Simplifying It This Never Pleasant
Household Task May Be Made
Lighter.

Simplify your dish washing thus:
With careful handling the dishes may
safely be washed in the sink, doing
away with the care OF d dishpan. To
lessen danger of breakage place in the
bottom of the sink wooden protector
made Of Stats. If the sink is not pro
vided with an automatic stopper, a
rubber sink stopper can be procured
at small price A wooden dish rack.
the kind that opens like an old-fash.
Toned paperholder, will hold plates and
saucers upright. The rack may be
lifted out of the sink on tray, and
Its contents, that have previously been
scalded, allowed to dry there. A three
cornered enamel strainer, ON feet, oc
cupies a corner of the sink. Into this,
which costs a few cents, plates can be
seFaped before the dish washing be-
gins. That dish towels may be close
at hand, have fastened to the wall close
to the sink a wooden arrangement
with arms which open out or close on
which to hang the towels after they
have been washed and boiled.

Best Paying Corn Crop in, countrY's
History.

The corn crop this year is the small
est the country has grown in ten
years, yet its total value is the great
est we have ever produced Based
on the departments figures of 707
cents bushel, the average farm
value ON November /, the crop Of
2,4630T 900 bushels, as now estimat-
ctl, is worth $1,z41,353,O19, while the
value of the 1912 record crop was
$1,520, $4,000. previous most
valuable crop was that of 1909, when
il was worth S165z,8zz,OO0. So it is
seen that this years corn crop prom
ises to be the most valuable this or
any other nation ever has produced,
although the preliminary estimate OF
production indicates it will be more
than half billion bushels less in
size than the record crop of last year
and the smallest since 1908

NEEDS FOR coopERAT1vE ACTION.


Several things stand out very clearly
at this stage of our knowledge. All
this waste must re eliminated. In
simple justice, the producer must be
paid specifically for what he produces
and for nothing else. and the consumer
must receive what he thinks he pur-
chases and must be willing to pay
fair price for good product. 1t is alb
solutely clear that before the problems
of rural credit and of marketing, the
individual farmer, acting alone, is help
less. Nothing less than concerted ac-
tion will suffice. Cooperation is abso-
lutely essential The same business
sense and the same organizing genius
which have placed this nation in the
front rank in industry must be invoked
for agriculture.

make it stay where you put it
use Harmony Hair Beautifier. This
dainty liquid dressing is just what
it is named-a beautifier. II your
hair is beautiful now, use it to
make it even more so, and to pre-
serve its loneliness. If it is not
beautiful now, Harmony Hair
Beautifier will improve its appear
ance in way to please you, or
money back. Its rose fragrance
will overcome the oily smell of
your hair. Easy to apply simply
sprinkle little on your hair each
time before brushing it. Contains
no oil; will not change color Of
hair, nor darken gray hair.

free and clean, use Harmony

operation takes only a few mo-
ments. Contains nothing that can
harm the hair; leaves no harshness
or stickiness-just sweet cleanli-
ness.

Lines which are very popular in
other sections of the country.
These lines are becoming more

telephone. The new line will
serve L. C. Harmon, M. L. Reed,
M. L. Rutherford, David Stokely,

others will be added later. The

master General,
Washington, D. c., Nov. 5, 1918.
"Postmasters at rural delivery
offices and rural carriers are di-
rected to bring to the attention of
patrons that it is required by the
Department that all first class mail
matter deposited in rural mail
boxes shall be stamped before be-
ing so deposited.
when this is not practicable
coins left in such boxes for the
purchase of stamps should be de-
posted in coin-holding receptacles
and not enclosed in envelopes,
wrapped in paper, or left loose in
boxes. Postmasters and carriers
should give this notice as much
publicity as possible without in.
curing any expense to the De.
