SEA FIGHT SPOILED FOREVER
At Least So Far as Being Favorite
Theme for Artists Is
Concerned.

Truman H. Newberry's comments on
our naval equipment serve to remind
us that a favorite theme OF the artist
the sea battle-is spoiled forever.
Modern vessels fight at from ten to
seventeen miles. if they fight at all.
and thrilling pictures such as Jones,
Perry, Farragut, Nelson and Dewey
have inspired probably will not be
painted again.
Marine warfare has become very
largely a matter of hide-and-seek any
way. So far has the gunmaker out
stripped the armorplate builder that
were equally matched vessels to en-
gage, a few seconds firing would re-
duce millions of dollars worth OF
ships to scrap-iron shambles.
And when the skulking menace of
the submarine is considered we can
understand how completely the ira,
ditions of sea fighting have been up
set
It was predicted that modern war
fare on land would be stripped of all
it's former aspects, but we are told OF
bayonet charges, of trenches 40 yards
apart. of steel helmets and even of full
suits of armor being used. Yet or
the sea what destruction has beer
wrought has been through method:
far removed from the old-fashionec
stand-up fight through which heroee o.
other days won their fame.

Time Didn't Matter.

A prominent lawyer tells this tale
of the hills of Kentucky. He had been
in Jackson during the hearing or
big land case and after the strain OF
several weeks in the courtroom mad
decided to take trip up in the noun
tains and enjoy the Quieting influences
of the hills. He travelled the paths
and narrow mountain roads till he
found himself, at the end OF several
days journey, about forty or fifty
miles from the railroad. 1t was about
noon, the lawyer judged, for his watch
had run down and he could not be
exact. But in the midst Of this deep
contemplation the lawyer came upon
an old darby sitting upon a bowlder
longside the road.
What time have you?" he asked of
the old darby.
Well. sub, boss, the old watch says
she's about ten minutes to twelve,
was the reply.
rs that sun time or railroad time!
again questioned the lawyer.
What difference does that make

IN FAVOR OF COOPERATION
Movement Among Farmers Is Grow
ing Rapidly In Every state-'dea
Becoming More Popular.

The cooperative movement among
farmers is growing rapidly in every
state. Almost every farm paper Is
printing a great deal Of material along
this line. Here, for example. Is an
editorial from a recent issue OF the
Wisconsin Agriculturist. which tells
how the movement is advancing:
According to a report Of the sur
yey which has recently been made
bv the Office of markets OF the UNITED
States department of agriculture at
Washington. we learn that more than
a billion dollars worth OF agrtcul-
tural products are sold by co-opera-
tive and farmers marketing associa-
tons in the United States every year.
The extent OF cooperative marketing
In the United States shown by this
investigation will prove surprise to
many persons who have been under
the impression that cooperative sell
ing in this country is in an unde
veloped stage.
The department has listed more
than $500 market associations; 2.lOC
cooperative and farmers elevators
$500 cooperative and farmers cream
cries and more than 1000 cooperative
fruit and produce associations in this
country.
The idea of cooperative marketing
is becoming more popular In the
United States and better results arr
being obtained than have prevaiiet
in the old-fashioned system OF indi
vidual handling. Through the hardin,
OF agricultural products through CO
operative associations farmers hav'
been encouraged to improve thef
crops and to standardize in the pack
ing of products. The discovery Of tn
best daily market also has been on
of the principal advantages OF the sys
tenn, resulting in advantages both Z
the consumer and the producer.
ITO cooperate Is highly advisable
no farmer can hope to realize as goo
results from his own individual ei
forts as he can by combining with hi
neighbors in finding the best price
for the products of his farm"

"Meat Rino" Success.

Meat rings are proving good thing
in some parts of Minnesota A meat
ring is made up of a group of farm
ers for the purpose Of supplying the
families of members with fresh meat
at a minimum expense. Such a group
turns over to some member a beef
animal for slaughter and preparation.
The hide usually pays the cost Of the
work. The carcass is then divided up
among the members Of the ring at
cost. Where IT has been tried the plan
has worked well and to the satisfac
ton of the group.
