THE BARNUM SYSTEM

When We read that John Bunny's
salary was more than that of the
president of the United States we en-
ioyed seeing him on the screen playing
his role, and wondered how he man
aged to spend all the money he was
taking in every week. But that pic
ture was somewhat smudsed when
John Bunny passed away and IT was
learned that his estate possessed the
sum OF $4,000. Only a modest little
fortune, such as many clerks and
hired hands in other institutions make.
Bunny did not spend so much money
The fact is, he received the princely
salary only in the mind of the press
agent.
Another press agent and for all we
might know, he might be the same
one, is out with another moving pic
ture story, in which he says Chas.
Chaplin receives the princaly sum of
five hundred thousand dolla"s year
for his work. That fellow must have
had drink of vodka. The ordinary
American drink will not make fel-
low go quite so strong.
II might add interest now 20 the
screen TO tell of the big salaries, but
in the end the Phineas T. Barnum
system of advertising Will not attract
and the screen will be the loser.

ORGANIZE COOPERATIVE
MARKETING ASSOCIATION

Hugo, Okla, Feb. Give must not
tr! to get away any longer from the
! fact that, in order to attain the very
| best results in marketing all of Our
farm products, that we will have to
organize cooperative marketing as.
sociation of our farmers. stock men,
puutry growers, and business men,
having one central head for focusing
the different products for sale, and at
the same time have a general sales
distribution point easy of access and
perfectly known TO the buying worlc,
of high-class products.
In order to make this marketing
project success, the main steps to
take at this tine is the proper stand
ard!ZatiOn of certain products such
as fruits and vegetable crates and
packages of same size, potato sacks
uniform. corn of the same standard
variety free from a general mixture.
wheat of a perfect kind oats and
hay of standard curing and uniform
ity of bales, logs of near the same
size, car of cattle all of a size,
appeal always to the buyers at bet
ter prices than a car of all kinds,
sizes and makeups.
The leading feature to carry on the
front in bringing about this needed
marketing association, is what is
known as the perfect pack, say for
instance that the peaches in each
crate or basket are sound and of
size, to the point that each
peach in the package will have the
guarantee of the association, and this
rule must apply all the way through
tc every product offered for sale by
the association. Every sack of pota-
toes should be packed without a
single potato in il being less in diam
cter than one and one-half inch, alb
solutely nothing in the sack less
than this, and as a result they are
sold before they reach the shipping
station, at top prices.-in fact. the
buyers will bid more than their limit

VITAL MEASURES PASSED
BY SPECIAL SESSION
CBy Senator Tucker

The recent session of the legisla.
ture was in many respects the most
remarkable one in the history of Ok.
hhoma. From the moment the gov.
crnor made public his intention of
c Hing an extra session, the sugges.
ton was met by strong opposition,
e'anating from all the different politi.
eel parties, but coming chiefly from
q class Of political leaders who sought
to prevent the passage of any meas
ur which would keep this state under
The control of the white race. The
pr sage Of general registration act,
th' provisions of which are so fair
as % meet with the approval of every
IA. minded citizen of Oklahoma, re-

The law is defective because it does
not provide a legal rate higher than
ten per cent to be charged on loans

TO TEST LAW.
Railroads OF the Country VIII Bring
Adamson Law Into Court.

Announcement was made last week
that the railroads of the southwest
had started proceedings against the
enforcement OF the Adamson law
regulating the hours of service of
railroad trainmen Later it was stated
that all of the railroads would join in
a movement to have the law tested in
court. II Is understood that the legal
representatives OF all OF the roads,
including the St. Paul and the North
Western, have been consulted and that
all the railroads will join but no move
will he made that the roads are not
practically sure OF successful issue
upon.
There was considerable talk during
the campaign about the constitution
atty of the law and IT was the general
opinion OF those who ought TO know
that the law will not stand test in
the courts when 1t gets there.
AS the republicans were practically
pledged TO repeal OF the law, no
move was made until the issue of the
election was known and as soon as II
was certain that Pres. Wilson was
returned. the roads started procedure.
A great deal OF the opposition TO the
law comes from railroad employees
that are not benefited by IL. AS a
matter of fact only a small portion OF
the railroad employees those in the
train seryice-are at all affected by
the law. Such employees as station
agents, cashiers. shop employees, round
house men. section men, and the many
other classes employed by the rail
roads but not operating trains are
not included in the proposed benefits
OF the new statute.

increases OF from 81 to 1l6 per cent
over the 1910 valuation. The average
value after the roads were improved
was s2S.26 per acre, as compared with
1871 previous 20 the Improvement.
In 1913 four transfers OF farm land
were on the basis OF $30.11 per acre,
whereas the properties were listed in
1910 at only $3.50 per acre. II ap-
pears that the / ,451 acres sold in 1914
increased In value $2S.500. or so per
cent, or from s24.46 to $44.10 per acre.
In Dinwiddie county. Va. the actual
price OF AZ farms sold or offered for
sale from 1903 to 1914 ranged in price
from $S.3S TO $4374 per acre before
the roads were built, and from S24.70
to $3.50 per acre after the roads We're
improved.
In Lee county. Va, a study OF eight
tracts along the roads before and after
Improvement indicated that these
properties increased about $23 per
acre, or about 20 per cent.
In Wise county, Va, study of eight
representative farms located on roads
showed that they increased in value
from an average OF $4,000 per acre be-
fore improvement to $79.44 after the
roads were improved There were in
creases in valuation in other sections
of from $50 to $50 or even 800 per
acre.
In Franklin county, n. Y, the fig
ures seem to indicate that the change
from EARTH sandy, and loan roads to
bituminous macadam was followed by
increases averaging $3.50 per acre,
or about 3O.7 per cent
In Dallas county, Ala, careful in
vestigatlon seemed to indicate that
