OUR HARD.HlT EXPRESS
 COMPANIES.

Everybody knows. of course, that the advent of tho parcels post put a serious crimp in the business of the express companies. Everybody knows, tco, that the express companies quick ly tried to make amends by reduc ng rates, until now some classes of goods amenable to the parcels post can e sent cheaper by express, depending on distance and weight.
 The financial reports of the prin- cipal express companies are therefore unusually interesting when compared with former reports 70
 The biggest express company in the country. judged by amount of bus ness done, is the American At the end of the fiscal year of 1914 it did a gross business of s45.102,949.

GETTING AT TIE PROFIT.

It has been shown that the farmer receives only 45 percent of the price for his products that the consumer pays. The remainder is rep: esented by from 10 to 15 percent of the legl- timate marketing costs and profits, while about 40 percent is said to go to spectators.
 Land in many parts of the country has reached such a h gh value tha' it is impossible for tho farmer to make more than four or five percent of his investment. This mani'estly pre- cludes borrow ng money at six per cent
 Not only is agriculture a highly technical business, but f also is b9set with tremendous problems. Co-opera- tion and the gradual elimination of spectators, however, will solve all of them.

 The figures of the others run in about the same ratio. Ii must be re- mcmbered that the railroad com panies get about half of the charges for all express matter sent over the r lines. They don't get half of the post age on parcels post by long shot.

 1t isn't football. nor calculus, nor Greek, nor Assyriology, nor anything else that anybody outside oi an up-to- date college would be kelly to guess. It is a course in money and bank ns,
 Old grads may tear their hair Ut hearing this. Purely academic souls, imbued with the ancient notion that college should preserve the "humani uies" in all the r sacredness, and teach nothing immediately useful, will be scandalized.s But it cannot be helped. The world changes, and the colleges change with it, and the young men who go to our higher institutions of learning .n ever increasing numbers from all walks of life are big factor in forcing the change. Instead of being content with merely polishing up ';heir minds for ornamental or cul- tural purposes, they enter with the greatest enthusiasm oE studies that hely them to live and work. And f blear-eyed scholars want to call an interest in money and banking sor- did thing, why, let them!
 Such preference, however, is not sordid. The students are interested in money as the universal tool of life. They see in banking vocation which is gaining immensely in scope and power and opportunity for use fitness. They appreciate the value Of the new partnership between scholar ship and chance, which is beina fostered by the nations leading bankers. Such partnership tends to raise the standard of American bank ing and opens a new field of publ ( service to ambitious and intelligent young men.

 About Sweet Potatoes.
 Every Arkansas farmer who wants to grow sweet potatoes should write Dean Martin Nelson of the Arkansas experiment station for a copy of the new bulletin on sweet potatoes, writ ten hv Professor Wicks. For home use each man may grow what he likes, but if he wants to grow for market he should grow what the mar ket demands. If many farmers near one town grow sweet potatoes they will oversupply the local market and then must depend upon shipping to a foreign market Organization then is the only sensible thing and all must grow the same variety and plant about tEe same time and agree on shipping rules and standards and either build individual storehouses or go together and build a large one at the shipping station, on the railroad right-ct-Way, if possible, for quick shipment in viutoI and when tho Or;cp is right.
