Chief Demands, Says Official

Ansonia. Conn Feb. 20.-A. S. Brown.
manager of one OF the mills, said to-
night that aBcther conference with
the strikers would be held tomorrow.
The company ia still determined not
to grant the principal demands Of the
men, he said.
Brown is Of the opinion that the
mills will not reopen until after
Wednesday. Wednesday is payday, and
the strikers. who have few days pay
due them, will be paid as usual, with
An increase of 21a cents an hour, as
previously announced. Brown believes
that after the men find the extra pay
in their envelopes many of them VIII
be willing to return TO work.
The prospect of the strike spreading
to other factories here is causing un-
easiness. The 200 employees Of the Os-
born 4 Cheesman Company, who voted
last night to demand a wage increase
Of from Is to 20 cents an hour, VIII

dreds of thousands of visitors
that will come to the Gulf Coast
during the Exposition.
The Kansas Centennial opened
a period of great prosperity in
that Western State that has con
tinued until the present day.
The Mississippi Exposition offers
the same opportunity to the peo-
pie of our state. If the people
only WILL, it can be easily made
worth millions of dollars in the
way of bringing capitol for in

sources and creating a market

Each Town Should Say
Not Only BUY From U.s."
But sell to Us. y

AS Prof. E. c.. Branson has
pointed out, the town that is to
justify its existance must say to
the farmer not only buy from
u.s." but also, "Sell to u.s."
We believe that farmers have
a right to demand this sort of
service from the town where
they spend their money. More
over, it will be better for all con-
cerned, if the buying is kept on
a cash basis. The South will
never be the rich country it
should be until there is a cash
market for corn, hay, and live
stock. as we'll as for cotton.
So long, in fact as it is a bar
ter proposition we are never 60
ing to get on the right basis as
to grades and standards. A
merchant often has to take bad
butter and bad eggs simply in
order to get the farmers trade.
Weld, in his Marketing of Farm
Products" refers to this matter
saying that country stores rare
ly discriminate between goods of
qualities" because afraid of
offending or losing a customer.
This has the effect of MAX
ing the farmers careless about
the goods they market, because
no premium is placed on superb
or quality Again:
Butter is of varying degrees
of sweetness and cleanliness,
but the country storekeeper does
not dare discriminate, because
each farmers wife thinks she
makes the best butter that can
be made. T" sl5oa
The same thing happens, as
Weld says, in the case Of eggs,
"As a result there is very little
incentive to farmers in many 10.
calities to gather their eggs FIRE.

prove their breeds Of poultry, tc
keep the nests clean, Or to take
proper care OF the eggs. = If,
however, butter anda~eggs land
other farm produce were sold fol-

would be enforced, and products
would soon be brought to a high
er standard, ameaning higher pri

money both for the merchant
and farmer. The Progressive

Small Farmers Ship
Cooperative Car of Cattle

Y Agricultural College. Miss,
Nov. 30 Stimulated by the sue
cess of cooperative hog shipping
in several counties in Mississippi
during the past year, the farmers
of this state are striking out into
a new field of cooperation, and,
according to a report just brought
in to the Mississippi A. and M.
College by T. M. Patterson, of
the Department of.:Markets and
Rural Organization are making
successful cooperative cattle ship
ments,
In this new line of work the
farmers of Winston County are
taking the lead, having just re-
ceived returns from their second
shipment. This shipment, con-
sisting of 'forty-t two head" of cat
tie and one hog, was recently
made by V. V. Eason, Demon
stration Agent for Winston

son, twelve farmers were repre-
scented in the shipment, several
of them bringing only one COW
and calf each. Each mans
stock was marked with marking
paint, and on arrival in St. Louis
the cattle were weighed and sold
separately, as there was no trou-
BILE: in identifying the cattle.
Each shipper. received pay fol-
his own stock just as if sold or

to the farmers, the prices receiv'

business was not too big for
them to give their clerks an
afternoon off, or to close their
store early, when the town
boosters asked them to do it.
This man, who was once so
busy; found that his business
didn't grow as 'he thought it
should. New people moved into
town, but they didn't, hunt him
up. Whenever he put on a sale
he slung yellow banner across
the street and even the winds
seemed to try to tangle it. The
town boosters didn't ask him to
close up any more. The truth
was he didn't keep a clerk any
longer, and no body cared
whether he came out or not.
They called him "The Stone
