But we started to say that along about
11'45 o'clock of very hot night not

The doctor settled himself in the doorway

At any rate, the two fell naturally into

by any chance, play golf?"
There was an electric flash, which had
nothing whatever to do with the heat

But the golf expert--and the doctor

Use Printed Stationery

More and more farmers are using
printed letter heads and envelopes. The
use of such stationary is a cheap and
effective way of giving personality and
efficiency to correspondence. 1t Is
cheap advertising of your farm special
ties and insures special attention to
your letters and their contents. Letter
heads neatly printed to give name, ad-
dress, perhaps name of farm, a few
farm specialties and even a small cut
of farm if you choose, can be had at
small cost. Envelopes to match can be
added at little above the cost of plain
envelopes. The cost is paid in every
letter mailed. The value of special at
tention given to a single letter mry pay
the entire cost. If you are breeder
of any class of farm live stock, or grow
any special crop, or are selling farm
seeds or any kind or variety. the adver-
tising given by well arranged letter
head with many times pay the cost. In
dividual stationery is mark of individ-
uality and progress worth while whether
your correspondence is large or small.

Did Not See His Shadow

The grounding did not see his shadow
Wednesday, unless he got near high
powdered gas or electric light, and this
is not likely, for according to all reports
Mr.. Arctomys Monax, which is a pretty
tough name to infict on any kind of a
hog, did not venture forth from his place
of Information.
The grounding evidently had a
straight tip on the weather conditions
and did not care to venture forth in
rain, slush, sleet and snow. If there is
anything in tradition, the backbone of
winter is broken, whereas if the day
had been sunshiny and the grounding
had been frightened back into his lair
by his shadow there would be six weeks
more of winter; but tradition is slightly
knocked out of plumb for this occasion
inasmuch as the grounding did not ven-
ture forth, so one guess is as good as
another concerning the variety of
weather for the next few weeks.

Marketing Cooperation

The advantages of cooperation in the
marketing of farm products are en-
phasized in the annual report of the
Office of Markets and Rural Organiza-
ton of the department which has just
been published. ''The conclusion seems
warranted" says the report, that in
communities where cooperation is
practically applied to the farmers bust
ness, the results obtained are far more
satisfactory than those secured by in
dividual methods. 1t is estimated that
farmers cooperative marketing and
purchasing organizations will transact
this year total business amounting to
more than 81, 400, 900, 900. Agricultural
cooperation in the United States is,
therefore, far more prevalent than is
generally believed, but it is not yet upon
a sufficiently strong business basis. The
progress toward sure and fair reward
to the tiller of soil has been steady for
several years.
