WHERE COOPERATION PAYS
Practical Demonstration Given by

The South Jersey Farmers Elk
change has just given a practical DEM
onstration of the business advantages
Of cooperative marketing Of farm
products and purchasing Of farm sup
plies. The exchange has been operat-
ing for five years. Its capital Is about
$4,000. This last year 1t did a busi-
ness of over 100000 and made .
profit of 81 per cent. Its stock shares
have doubled in value; its members
not only have received good prices for
their products, but have bought their
supplies Of every sort at rock bottom
prices. The 600 men who make up its
membership are prosperous and well
satisfied with their business.
There could be no better refutation
Of the widespread idea that farming
is profitable for the farmer. provided
the farmer is alert enough to resort to
the methods of modern business. This
is one phase of agriculture that the
marketing experts Of the department
of agriculture are trying to teach tc

NOT AN ABSOLUTE BLANK
Eye Retains Impression Of last-Seen
Spectacle During the Duration
Of q Wink.

When q person winks his eyes he
momentarily covers the entire eye
balls. and everything therefore should
turn absolutely black and be In total
darkness for the instant. AS matter
Of fact. he certainly Is In total dark
ness. but he Is unconscious Of the
same. The reason he is unconscious
is that the eye is incapable Of remov-
ing a certain view from itself until an
eighth Of a second has elapsed. So the
view seen just before the ball goes in
to eclipse continues to be seen for an
eighth Of second. But as the eye is
not covered by the lid as long as this,
a new view arrives to supplant the
old view before the old one has van.
ished. Thus the darkness is not no
ticed, although there is no doubt that
1t exists.
This same popularity Of the eye
enables moving pictures to have theil
being. 1t also is the reason why a
lighted torch whirled rapidly around
shows a path instead Of a sequence Of
torches. Also why rapidly rotating
