Lack Of Organization Chief
Agricultural Trouble.
PROFITS ARE Affected.
Former Ambassador Declares Farmers
Are ~Unorsanized IndustriaIly, Corn
merciaIly and Financially and as a
Result There Are Wastes - Agri-
culture Isn't on Decline, He Says.

Observation-Disclosures of organization
is the chief trouble with American ag-
riculture, Myron L. Herrick, formerly
United States ambassador to France,
recently said in an address before the
agricultural conference. MI. Herrick's
topic was agriculture and the laws re-
CURED for rural credits.
Mr.. Herrick held that the farmers
are u~norganiZed industrially, CONNER
cially and financially and that, as a re-
suit, there are wastes and losses that
seriously affect the producers profits.
Mr.. Herrick made it clear, however,
that agriculture in this country was
not on the decline. Man for man, he
said, the American farmer is superior
to any other, and in some branches he
has brought agriculture to it's highest
stages of development. The shortcom-
ings of American agriculture are trace
able to the fact that the farmers have
not combined their with the
view of helping one another, he said.
Their greatest need, he declared, is CO
operation, and this can be brought
about only through a more intelligent
and extended use Of the association.

The seventh year of this paper
is fast drawing to a close, and we
are justly proud of our business
and of our many good subscrib-
ers. We do not want to lose a
single subscriber, but on the
contrary, want to add POO more
to our list the coming year.
Many subscriptions are begin.
ming to expire, and it is hoped
that they will promptly renew.
We are devOting our best efforts
to make the Hayti Herald the

OLIVER FOR GOVERNOR.

Among the list of probable
timber for the next Governor of
Missouri, Arthur l.. Oliver
strikes us as being a man that
could most excellently fill that
position. There are a number of
other men, and good ones, that
could and would make most
efficient officers. A number OF
these men are in the list as
probable contestants for the
governorship, but one qualitica.
tion that Mr.. Oliver possesses
and the others have not, is that
he is a Southeast Missourian.
He has not announced that he
desires the governorship OF
Missouri, and he may not do So
but in the event that he does
as many of his friends are urg
ing him to do, he would be a
splendid man to get behind and
place in that most honored posi-
tion. Arthur Oliver is a Caruth
ersville boy-a Southeast Mis-
sourian-and with that is one OF
the ablest lawyers and states
men in Missouri. He served as
a member of the House in 1901
to 1906, and two years later was
elected to the State Senate, be
ing the youngest senator in the
18th General Assembly. His
record in the Senate was sutfi
cient to gain for him the en-
viable position of United States
District Attorney, with offices in
ST. Louis. He is already recOg
nized as power in statesman
ship, and should he decide tC
throw his hat in the ring, all

TELL THE SALES MAN.

With the approach of the fall
season, the big jobbers and
manufacturers will begin to send
out their statesmen. Many OF
these saleSmen are going to call
on you, Mr.. Retailer. Here are
a few suggestions bv which you
might open the conversation
with them:
Ask them what they will do tic
help you sell the goods they want
you to buy.
Ask them if their firm is going
to advertise their goods in the
newspapers of your city. II
they reply no, ask them why
not?
Tell them that it is necessary
for them to create the demand
in your city, among your Gus
toners, for their line of goods,
otherwise you cannot push their
line in preference to those manu-.
facturers or jobbers who do
create this demand.
Tell them the best way to
create the demand is to adver,
tise in the local newspaper; that
your customers read the news.
paper published here; that you
yourself advertise in it; and that
you are not willing to spend your
money to make their particular
brands popular in this town and
later have them take the line
away from you and give it to
your competitor.
Tell them that you favor goods
which are advertised in your
local newspaper because you find
it more profitable to do so.
This is a mighty good hand to
hold. 1t should be ID stand pat
one.

JUDGE FARIS SPEAKS OUT.
At the last session of the Legis-

getting a simplitied code of legal

not quite ripe, and so the State

building for the boys and girls. The
enrolment is about $50. and there are
forty teachers.
Talladega has graduated several hun
dred young men and women and has
sent forth thousands of others trained
for the practical duties of life. Its
students are force throughout the
state. Many have become teachers
and have helped to raise the standard
of the rural schools.
One of the graduates of Talladegn
studied at Columbia college several
years ago, where he did such excellent
graduate work that he had number
of tempting offers to head departments
in the larger schools Of the race. He
refused them all and turned back to
Alabama. where, twenty miles from
any railroad station. he founded a
school that became model In It's com
munity service. This graduate died
after having literally given his life to
his work
Others have taken small rural public
schools and because of their educa-
tional advantages and the spirit OF
service that Tallageda gave them have
made their little one room school
houses models Of Industry and neat
ness. Some graduates have gone into
the ministry and taken up parishes
