Are You Getting Fair Prices for Your
Cotton Seed?
Every fall when farmers begin to
ask cottonseed oil mill for an
even exchange Of cotton seed for cot
tonseed meal, the mills invariably say
that they can't possible afford t.
make that sort Of exchange. Yet be-
fore the season is over these same
cottonseed oil mills do give an even
exchange Of cottonseed meal for seed
in sections where organized farmers
pool their seed under the contract
system.
In one county in North Carolina
the Farmers Union succeeded this
spring in getting 2,1OO pounds Of meal
for ton of seed from mill that de
clared in the early part of the season
that it would be simply out Of the
question to give an even exchange

DECREASES PRICE OF CAR.
Qualified Automobile Manufacturer
Recommends Use Of Newspapers.

A'Ae~Aee~A -

Recommends Use of Newspapers.
1872
The Overland is frequently referred
to as the most advertised of all motor
cars..~ And this extensive publicity is
declared by John N. WHY'S, President
Of the WHY'S Overland Company, to
be the principal reason why the Over
land can be sold at price which would
mean loss on every car to the ma
jority of manufacturers.
81 recently overheard a remark dur
ing conversation in the smoker Of a
Pullman, indicating that the talker be-
lieved Overland advertising must cost
about 5000 per car. This, of course, is
preposterous. Last year our a6vertis-
ing cost per car was little less than
2 IL per cent; this year it will be
trifle less; next year materially less
due to greatly increased production.
The quality Of our production
spreads all overhead so that the item
per car is so small that the buyer pays
for but little more than the actual ma
terial and labor plus reasonable
profit which, also because Of quantity,
is small per car. The price of an ar
ticle to the consumer can be made low
in proportion as the advertising pro-
duces quantity sales. This principle
is not always generally understood.
Some buyers believe that the purpose
of extensive advertising is to obtain
a higher price. Inasmuch as the re-
results obtainable from the advertis-
ing depend SO largely upon the price,
it necessarily follows that the price
will be the lowest that a reasonable
profit win permit. The entire plan is
prdicated upon profit from volume
rather than profit per unit"
Mr.. WHY'S states that the advertis-
newspapers" he says. "The news
papers has brought big results.
81 have all the faith. in the world in
newspapers he says, "The news
paper is the university Of the masses.
People who read no other publications
read newspapers. They get their news
of the world and form their opinions
of people and things from what they
read in the dailies."

of Supreme Court Clerk for twelve years when
his present term expires-making in all thirty
six years.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT
Suggested for Management Of the
Counties.

In discussing county affairs, taxes,
ETC., and how to economic, it has
been suggested by several that the
Chancery Clerk and Sheriff be put on
salary basis. This might be a good
plan, and perhaps save the county a
small sum, and if this should be done,
The Record suggests that a good plan
to further economic, would be ia
abolish the Office Of Supervisor, and
use the funds paid for their salary
and that taken from the Sheriff and
Clerk, and use it to employ three
County Commissioners to give their
entire time to management Of the at
fairs Of the county.
In other words, adopt the commits
sion form Of government for the coun-
ty, and choose one commissioner from
the northern end Of the county, one
from the southern and one from the
central part. Let them be good bust
ness men who would handle the af-
fairs of the county in a systematic
and efficient way, giving their attcn-
tion to that alone. They could then
watch the leaks and see that money
was not wasted and paid out when
value received was not given, as is
often done, under the present system.
OF course the details Of the work and
the plan would have to be worked out,
and the law changed to provide for
this, but The Record believes many
dollars could be saved by handling tie
affairs Of the county in this way. No
business can succeed without good
management, and good management
cannot be given without close atten-
ton all the time.-Newton Record.

JEWISH NEW YEAR.
Hebrews to Celebrate Annual Festival
On September 8.

The Jewish New Year will begin on
Wednesday evening, September Sth,
with an ornate solemn service in the
temples and synagogues. The Thurs
day morning service comprises a more
elaborate form of worship and COM
bines more vestiges of antique ritual
with expressions of human experiences
and feelings true and real for every
body and at all times.
The Jewish New Years festival is
the Oldest Of all festivals celebrated
in the civilized world. But it is unique
for its significance as well as for its
antiquity The secular New Year Con
January 1st) is day Of qualifications;
men rejoice in what they have
achieved; it is day for sordid inven-
tories. The Jewish New Years day,
however, is. time for serious thought
on the meaning Of life; it evokes pious
CONTEMPLATION of the difficult and
inevasible problem as to right and
wrong and its appeal is not that we
should get more out of practical life,
but value more genuinely, more truth
fully, more morally the life God has
entrusted to u.s.
Much of the success and failure Of
our work depend, not upon our equip
ment, but upon our motives. The
Jewish New Years day, accordingly,
is placed by a wise tradition at the
beginning of Autumn, when men enter
upon their enterprises and obligations
with zest and zeal. just then they
need right Interpretation Of life and
true measure Of its values.
The antique features of the ritual
of that day express the aspirations all
men feel equally. The trumpet calls,
constituting the central part in the
worship of that day are appeals for
the moral stir which men should feel
when they contemplate their expert
ences and seek for reinforcement Of
their hopes. The calls are also an APP
peal to the large sense of life. Our
week day wishes and prayers are self
centered and do not give us a perspec-
tive of our relations and obligations
to the community and fellowman, and
of their influence upon us. But the
New Years day offers us an occasion
to re-afirm our repect for and trust in
Providence which is the organization
of all lives into an all-encompassing
justice. The Jew comprehends this as
a comfort in the case of misfortunes
and as monition in the successes he
may have. The function of the New
Years day is to establish moral
judgment in our life and experiences.

LOSE AT WAUKEGAN.
Simmons Team Defeated by American
Steel and Wire Team on Saturday.

The heavy rains of Sunday and
Monday morning broke up nearly all
of the plans for big athletic events in
Kenosha for the double holiday and the
baseball games between the Normals
and Kenosha on Sunday and the
Senecas and Kenosha on Monday were
cancelled. There was no racing pro
gram at Ideal Park for the hard rains
left the track sea of mud and it
would have been impossible to have
carried out the program for the two
days. With clearing skies lot Of
people went out Monday afternoon
hoping for a ball game, but they were
forced to be satisfied with a game be-
tween picked teams. One of the ball
games weathered the Labor Day rains
and that was the game between the
Simmons team and the American Steel
and Wire Works team at Waukegan.
The Simmons team lost by a score of
three to two. Tt was one Of the hard
est fought games ever seen on q Wau-
kegan diamond and it was not won
until the last inning. A bad decision
of the umpire shut Kenosha out of her
chance to tie the score. Six automo-
bile loads of the Simmons rooters went
down for the game and the crowd was
made up mostly of Kenosha people.

The first day of school is one of the
prettiest pictures of the yearly ealen-
dar. The long procession of kidlets
all washed and eombed and dolled up
for the opening session, is a pageant of
youth and hope. The youngsters can
not for more than one day be kept al
this high water mark of cleanliness.
They may growl and fret at having
to resume their toll But not one in ten
would remain at home if given the
chance. AS a matter of fact, the time
hangs heavily on their hands before the
long vacation is over.
1t takes an inventive child mind ia
find sufficient number and varieties OF
play to fill whole vacation. By Sep.
TENDER about all of the known pastimes
have been thoroughly tried out, and all
possible joy extracted. Most children
are willing to work at school tasks. if
the proper incentives are applied. They
may not see the inherent value of what
they are doing. But they are accessible
to the motive of competition. The
position at the head of the class will
never lose its allurement.

MAY REDUCE ACCIDENTS.
Industrial Commission Sends Leafet TO
Contractors Urging Precautions

. You pay too much for accidents to
your Workmen,'' says the Wisconsin
industrial commission in leahet adj
dressed to the building contractors of
the state. The leafet tells contractors
that they can bring about big reduc-
ton in insurance rates by preventing
accidents. The following advice to
contractors is particularly apropos in
view of recent killings due to faulty
scaffolds: 1--WE want to help you re-
duce your accident rate and your in
surance rate, just as we have helped
manufacturers reduce their accident
rates and insurance rates. Every
month we are sending you a safety
bulletin illustrating some particular
point of danger. Put these posters up
where your men will read them, and
insist that their warning be followed.
See that your men have plenty of
sound lumber for scaffolds, and see that
they use it. Do not permit pieces of
wood with projecting nails to be left
lying around for someone to step on.
See that every injury, however small,
is attended to before it becomes SER
ious. Constant watching on the part
Of yourself and foreman will prevent
a large part Of your accidents. In
foundries and other hazardous indus
tries, employers have actually reduced
accidents by SO to rs per cent by teach
ing their foremen and workmen to be
careful =
The leafet contains list of 1889
building accidents in 1914, including
the following: Falling from scaffolds,
10 accidents; falling from ladders, 80;
falling from buildings, 35; falling into
