The Question OF Submarines.

From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
III some inspired matter given out
a few days ago from the Navy De
partlnent with reference to the i'm
p~ortance Of submarines as indicated
by experience in this war, q chief
point was made against the subma-
rines that they had not sunk a single
d~readnaught or superdreadnaught. IF
the elaborate story Of the destruction
OF the superdreadnaught AudaciOus by
a submarine is verified, our navy
sharps will a to abandon this
point.
Congress is always justified in talk

or unconsciously, are prejudiced in
favor the battleships and cruisers, on
which officers can live in comfort in
times Of peace. And, frankly. We do
not believe that any recent develop
ment has made battleships or cruisers
obsolete. These should be construct
ed on an intelligent liberal program
but the submarine should not be neg
lected. In war We want the most
modern fighting machines. America.

SlatOn Will Decide Wisely,

Louisville Courier journal.
Answering one Of the many appeals
in the Frank case the Ne York Sun
wisely says:
Why not trust to Gov. Slaton's in
teligence, judgment and sense of jus
tee? II Frank did not have q fair
trial, as Mr.. Justice Holmes holds and
many others believe; il no legal rem
edy remains, the Governor OF Georgia
is the final judge Of appeal. He has
declared his intention Of examining
the case fairly and thoroughly. Would
1t not be a mistake, and however vel
and humanely mean an imp%ertinencc,
to seek to influence his opinion and
MS declslon? If an excited popular
feeling in Atlanta secured or contTi-
buted 10 the condemnation OF Frank
surely there is the more reason that
no mere clarnor OF sympathy should
now be heard. The Governor %
Georsia has q grave duty before him.
Let him alone"

WOULD HAVE SUNDAYS DULL
Mistake In Nonobservanee OF

Il think Sunday ought to remain

institutions to see that Sunday Is not
secularized. People talked q lot OF
nonsense about the Scottish Sabbath
and did not know what they were
talking about. II they were only
trained to appreciate the Scottish Sab
bath-it would take some amount OF
training-they would not be sorry II
they had 1t.
All the talk about turning Sunday
into a day of recreation was humbue
and dangerous. In trying to do II
they were beginning at the wrong end
of the stick. They should not sacri
fee the blessings they had got.
He looked forward to the time when
everybody would have sufhcient time
for recreation during the secular days
of the week. An enlightened demo
cracy should value day Of spiritual
rest so much that their hands would
be lifted up against any man or move
ment that desired to secularize the

OZARK FARMERS COOPERATE
Theory That It 10 Not Possible to Get
Producers to Work Together 10
Clearly Disproved.

Many men who try to discourage
cooperation among Kansas farmers
advance the old. time-worn theory
that they will not hang together,
writes F. B. Nichols in Interstate
Farmer. Sometimes 1t is admitted that
the farmers in one community may be
organized, but that 1t is not possible
to get the producers In several COM
munities to work together. All CT
these contentious have been disproved
by the Ozark Fruit Growers associa-
ton of Monet, Mo-, which is the larg-
est company of its kind in the Middle
West. 1t handled the fruit from 43
loading stations last year. The fruit
from but q stations was handled in
1912. which indicates a good, healthy
growth.
These loading stations have their
local associations. and the local asso-
Citations are banded together to form
the central association. Two per cent
of the gross sales are taken t. pay the
expenses of the central association.
With this system. the local manager
has only to see that the cars are prop
erly loaded, and to turn over the
money he receives from the central
association to the members. The fine
advantage of this system Is that the
sales are handled by the manager, p.
A. Rogers. who Is a specialist in this
work. And then, too, the fruit from
one station does not come into COM
petition with that from the other as
sociations.
With this system. 1t is possible for
the local company to run with low
operating expense; 1t frequently Is as
low as l per cent. The selling ex-
pense can be divided among the 43
loading stations in this way. It is
possible for the big association to
build up a much more efficient selling
force. too. For example. last year the
Ozark association had 20 representa-
tives on the leading markets of the
country. to watch the movement Of
the cars in their territory. These were
local men. 80 the manager knew they
could be trusted. They stayed away
on this work for about six weeks.
The Ozark Fruit Growers associa-
ton is organized as a joint stock COM
pany. When a local shipping associa-
ton comes into the central association
1t must buy ten shares of the stock:
these shares cost 81 apiece. and divi-
dends are not declared on them. The
stockholders meet in January. elect Of.
icers. and attend to the other regular
affairs. Most of the business Is ham
died by the manager. There usually
Is q large number of buyers at Monet.
and as a rule about 80 per cent of the
berries are sold before the cars are
billed out.
Mr.. Rogers has been manager since
1904. and he has built up the associa-
ton. It has been founded largely on
his personality and his plans. and it Is
q great success.
