BENEFITS Of COOPERATION
Plan Of Farmers Association oi
Moore and Lee Counties, North
CaroIina-Its Advantages.

The Sand Hills Farmers ossocia.
tion" of Moore and Lee counties,
North Carolina. is young organiza.
ton as yet, and has no warehouse
Still the members are determined to
market their cotton comparatively.
Here Is their plan:
The association will require OF each
member who is willing to have his
cotton sold through its Offices, a re-
fusal on said cotton until 1t has had
the opportunity Of grading It. secur.
Ing samples and submitting same to
the several large buyers and export.
ers with whom the association is now
In correspondence, and In turn sub.
mitting the resulting bids to the own.
ers Of the cotton.
The association is In the possession
OF a set OF government grades or
samples. which are open to the mem.
bers' inspection at the Office OF the
association at Plnehurst, and will Sc.
cure the services OF n competent
grader, whose expenses are to be met
prorata by the members OF the as.
ISOLATION whose cotton he grades.
The association will guarantee what
cotton 1t sells to come up to the speci.
fled grade and will afflx It's seal to
every bale graded and sold through
Its offices and 1t will hold its mem.
bers strictly responsible to protect
the grade OF their cotton from the
time It Is graded until delivered.
The association believes that BY
adopting this plan the following nd.
vantages will accrue TO Its members:
|. The grower will be paid the full
market price that the grade of his
cotton entities him to, which he has
not been getting from local buyers
heretofore.
:. By selling large quantities OF cot.
ton Of certain specific grades In bulk
better price will be secured from
the large buyers, exporters and mills
than would be the case II the cotton
were sold in small quantities.
3, The commission OF the local buy
er will be eliminated.
4. By having large quantities O,
cotton OF specified grades to sell. the
association will be in n position tc
get competitive bids from the buyer,
to whom 1t offers the cotton.
3. BY guaranteeing the cotton tt
come up TO specified grades. the AZ
ISOLATION relieves the buyer Of tn,
risk that he ordinarily runs, and be
lieves for this reason that It will bt
able to secure better prices.

Courage based upon knowledge is a
valuable asset.
Telephone communications some
times corrupt good neighborhoods.
Real problems are 80 abundant that
We should not draw on the imaginary.
A clean heart has no place for envy;
1t is all taken up with sunshine-and
envy seeks dark places.
One species Of mollycoddle is the
man who takes no interest in public
schools. good roads, or politics.
The average man likes to be de-
ceived. 1t is being undecelved that
makes him miserable.
The virtue OF neatness when carried
to excess, defies family comfort and
banishes the angel Of peace from the
home.
Don't be afraid OF getting too much
fertilizer on the garden. A clean poul-
try house and good garden go hand
In hand.
Do not waste as much nerve-force
and energy fighting against your des.
tiny as would be required to bear 1t
patiently.
At twenty-one the conquest OF the
world looks as easy as rolling OF a
log to most men; but at sixty they are
running hot-foot to keep the log from
rolling over them.
The man who produces animals
without giving an intelligent thought
to breeding, who sneers at heredity
and pedigree, and thinks care and
feed are only incidentals. is as much
a scrub as the animals he perpetuates.
Intensive farming means nothing
more than concentration Of ones mind
and energies upon small number Of
things. The successful men in every
line OF endeavor are those who con-
centrate. The scatter-man is. always
busy. but has little to show for his ef-
forts.

COLONEL GoRGAs' WORK IN CANAL ZONE

1t is the, marvellous work by which
Colonel Gorgas Of the medical corps
cleaned up the canal zone and made
1t possible for men to work there.
Before the Americans came the 18th

most unhealthful place in the world.
The French diggers Of the canal were
beaten by yellow fever. When the
Panama railroad was built 1t was

ably an exaggeration, that every te

The cities of Panama and Colon were
sinks of filth and corruption.
There is no yellow fever now In
the canal zone and there has been
none for several years. Malarial
fever has almost disappeared. The
death rate is lower than anywhere
else in the United States or its pos

Some extremists say capital per.

Wilson. Capital. being the uncon-

ton to furnish the worker with the
means Of living until the product is
ready for use. Without the use Of
capital In that way, labor could only
be used as It Is In savage countries.
Capital is one Of the elements by
which productivity may be increased.
