British Member OF Parliament Sees

nonsense about the Scottish Sabbath,
and did not know what they were
talking about. Ii they were only

training-they would rot be sorry if
they had it,

Hero of War of 1912.

One hundred years ago Capt David
Porter, one Of the naval heroes Of the
War Of 1912, was given a great pop
ular ovation by the people of Philadel-
phia. Ten days previously Captain
Porter had reached New York after
long and hazardous voyage from
Valparaiso. where on March %, he
had commanded the frigate Essex in
her gallant, but unsuccessful fight
against the British ships Phoebe and
Cherub. Upon their arrival in New
York, the surviving officers and MEM
bers Of the crew of the Essex were
given an enthusiastic welcome. From
New York, Captain Porter proceeded
to Philadelphia, where another pop
ular ovation awaited him. On his ar
rival in the suburbs of the city the
horses were taken from his carriage
and it was drawn to the hotel by the
populace.

OZARK FARMERS COOPERATE
Theory That II Is Not Possible to Get

Clearly Disproved.

Many men who try to discourage

the farmers in one community may be
organized, but that it is not possible

tlon or Monet. Mo-, which is the larg-
est company Of its kind In the Middle
west. II handled the fruit from 43
loading stations last year The fruit
from but q stations was handled in
1917, which indicates a good, healthy
growth.
These loading stations have their
local associations, and tie local asso-
ciatlons are banded togethe- 10 form
the central association. Two per cent
OF the gross sales are taken t. pay the
expenses Of the central association.
WIN this system, the local manager
mas 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, it Is possible for
the local company to run with low
operating expense; it frequently is as
low as l per cent. The selling ex-
pense can be divided among the 43
loading stations in this way. 1t 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-
ives on the leading markets of the
country, to watch the movement of
the cars In their territory. These were
local men, so 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 local shipping associa-
tion comes into the central association
1t must buy tep shares of the stock;
these shares cost 81 apiece, and diyi- |
bends are not declared on them. The
stockholders meet in January, elect Of
ncers, and attend to the other regular
AFFAIRS. Most of the business is ham
died by the manager. There usually
Is large number Of buyers at Monett.
and as 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. 1t has been founded largely on
his personality and his plans, and It is

STRAW ON ROADS A SUCCESS
Successful Experiment Made on High
ways in Minnesota-Sawdust and
Glover Also Used.

For $25 mile year the state high
way commission can take the mos,
sandy road in the state and turn it into
highway which can be worked with
a road grader, by the use of straw
sawdust or clover, whichever is the
most convenient. 1t has been doing
this in various parts of the state for
the last few years. paying for the i'm.
proved roads from the expense found
OF the commission, but it will ask the
legislature for more money to extend
this work to other parts Of the state
and will extend 1t Just as far as the
legislature sees fit to permit it by the
limit on the appropriation.
Near Cambridge an experimental
road was made with sawdust several
years ago, but the supply at the local
sawmill gave out and straw was used
during the past season and with better
results. The straw works into the
sand. forming a vegetable loan which
can be handled by the road grader
and will also support heavier loads
than are possible with the sand In its
natural condition.
G. w. Cooley. state engineer, also
has shown the people what can be &C
complished by constant watch of the
roads, as is done in foreign countries,
by maintaining a man on a stretch of
road all OF the time. Last season a
road six miles south Of Saltwater was
under experiment The year before a
road leading from st. Paul into Dako-
ia county was watched. For $25 a
mile for the season these or other
roads can be kept in such condition
that they may be used every day dur
ing the experiment.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
