ties where the growers are willing to organize for car lot shipment. Organ ization for the purpose of marketing strawberries, peaches, and such per ichable fruits has already been dem- onstrated very successfully in a num- her of important points in the state. Many examples of organization for purpose might be cited, but it seems sufficient to point to the many examples the country over where. or. anizations with purpose have sue ceeded and those without a purp0se have failed. It can be pointed out further that efficient leadership is es- sential for the success of those or ganixations created with the best of purposes.
 Must Have Leadership in Or
 oanlxation.
 The time is ripe for organization of individuals within communities, of communities within counties, of coun- ties within states, but all of this or anization must be done with a pur- pose. Eficial leadership is abso- lutely essential for the develop ment of cooperation along effective lines. Without a purpose in mind and without the guidance of compe- tent leader this organization will re- suit In little gain.
 A County Agent the Logical Leader.
 There Is good 2adership in practi- Cally every community in Arkansas provided this leadership is properly guided. Every citizen needs to con- tribute portion of his time to leader ship In community activities. These untrained leaders, however, require the guidance of person skilled in problems of leadership and organiza- tion. Today county agents, men who are trained in qualities of leadership, are serving the communities in their counties fn this capacity Under their guidance neighbors become bel ter neighbors, communities cooperate for their own good, purpose of or Eanizatiin is defined and organiZa- tior8 live, that spirit of cooperation expressed in ordinary neighborliness ia extended in the many ways possl- bln for the benefit of all communi- ties. In other words the county agent becomes leader of leaders. di- recting this natural leadership of the country along lines of greatest value to all people.

 The power of organization In our national and commercial life is well recognized the country over. Why have not the people in the communi- ties. of the country organized for the advantages of organization? Why have not they co-operated for commu- , nifty betterment? National and com. mercial organizations have, in every instance. been for we'll defined pur-, pose. Far too many socalled com munity organizations have lacked a purpose, and for that reason have been short lived. National and com mercial organizations seek the strong est leadership. Leadership has often times been lacking in community or ganiZat1on. Why not apply these two fundamental principles of organiza- ton to community life and thereby establish desirable community organi- cations.

 OrGani=c For Purpose.
 Why not extend the spirit of neigh borliness within the community through organization for purpose? Why should every farmer within a community keep an inferior head of the herd when by cooperating he and two or three of his neighbors could dispose of the inferior animals and purchase pure bred animal of su- perior quality to head the herds uf several farmers? This would be or ganization to purpose. Why shouldn't two or more neighbors CO., operate in the purchase of grain drill if one would be sufficient to do the seeding of these several farms? This would be cooperating to a pur- pose.
 Cooperation Necessary For Profitable
 Marketing.
 Probably the best field for organiza- ton to purpose lies in the field of marketing. Why should small farm. CTS with ten or twelve head of fat hogs sell them at from 3 to 5 cents per pound less than the market price when through cooperation with two or three of his neighbors lie could ship In car lots to the regular market and secure market price for his stuff? Why not organize for purpose?

FARMERS SHOULD
 JET TOGETHER"
Much Money Is Lost Because Farmers Do Not Use Business Methods in
 Selling Their Produce.
By J. F. Nicholson, Marketing Spe- cialist, Extension Division,
 University of Arkansas.

Farming is a business and demands the use of business methods. A few years ago farm products were not SO widely distributed as they are today. Then the farmer could load his prod uctS on his wagon, drive to town and dispose of them with little difficulty. Now he generally finds that some one else has been to his market. Can taloupes are there from far distant states when his cantalOupeS should have filled the demand. Butter has been shipped in from a large cream cry hundreds of miles distant when his butter should have supplied til" wants of that locality; and even the bacon, that he used to furnish, now comes from packing plants that he never beard of before. This change IS due to increasing competition on the part of producers everywhere. Groups of farmers unite their efforts In producing a given food crop. They find they must seek larger and more extensive markets. They push their products out farther and farther un- til they reach every corner of the earth Unless the local grower can compete in quality and kind, he finds that the other fellow has taken his place on his home market. The local grower is soon convinced that he is in a competitive game. Instead Of bemoaning his fate he determines that to succeed he must follow the methods of those who have crowded him ont

Must Produce Quality and Guam
 tity To Compete.

1e lealNS that ne must produce quality in order to interest the buyer who used to take his home product. When he has done that like his com petitors lie must begin to develop new markets for his products. He looks about for a wider outlet and finds It, in many cases, miles distant which requires shipping in large amounts. generally in car lots, in order to leave a profit. It is true that it costs more to reach this distant market, but it grower also finds that he must eln- ploy the services of distributors to enable him to locate his products on the distant market This, again, goes into his profits, but things adjust themselves in time and eventually he finds himself in the great game of food distribution, operating his busi- ness on small margins and striving to increase his earnings by a greater and better production.
 Cooperation Increases Profits.
 The day will come when the grower must conclude that some of the cost of conducting his business may be lessened by uniting his efforts with those of his neighborS. He then helps to form cooperative selling organiza- tions with the growers of his locality who are striving to produce the same commodity. Jointly they employ an efficient sales manager In whom they have implicit confidence. Their com bined output is of such quantity and quality that they easily take their place in the big competitive game on distant markets and they find that by working together they can greatly lessen the cost of production and handling of their products. All of this means bigger returns to tho grower individually and demonstrates that while man may profitably ope- rate individually on a large scale he can do so more successfully and in a more businesslike way by co-ope- rating with his neighbors.
 Which Farmer Are You?
 This is the story in a nutshell of recognize the forces now operating and prepare to meet increasing com petition, we shall be destined to con tinue to labor quietly on our farms, growing only a small surplus over what we can consume ourselves and trading it for those other necessities of life which we cannot raise. Will you he a good farmer. able to meet competition intelligently and through cooperative efforts profitably dispose of your cash crops. or will you be just a grower allowing some one else to profit on your surplus? Remember, producing is only one half the game of farmins-selling is the other haif.

HEARST HYPOCRISY. - Unless
people have mighty short memories
they'll not fall for the hypocritfcal
slobber against war in the editorial
columns of the Hearst newspapers.
For they will remember how he hOI-
Tered his head off for war with Mex
leo, and demanded that Uncle Sam
send an army of 100000 American
soldier boys across the border.
Hearst wasn't weeping then over the
possibility of our boys being muir
dered while they pOhced Hearst's
millionaire Mexican ranch. He was
willing to risk the lives Of hundreds
of thousands then, but now he weeps
about the horrors of war and pleads
for peace with Germany. When
Hearst was hollering for war with
Mexico, Germany was interested in
getting us into a mess down there
that would keep US too busy to get
in the fuss in Europe or make NUM-
lions for the allies. Now Germany
wants us to keep out Of the European
war because she knows We'll not be
on her side. And Hearst is playing
the Kaiser's game now as he played
it then, with the Chicago Tribune
close on his heels. There is one
difference BERTHE Mccormick is try
ing to save the Trib's face now by
getting his name in the papers in an
account Of a patriotic movement
BERTHE seconded a motion. But he'll
coon be interned in the army where

/ he'll have to keep his mouth shut
and pass up the pastime of SANDER
ing President Wilson. Too bad the
Trib can't be interned, too, or sent
clean over to Germany.
GERMANY'S CHANCE. - If the
German people would fire the kaiser
and take charge of their own gov
eminent nobody would want to lick
the Germans or crush Germany.
That illustrates the growing feeling
in this country. There is no hatred
of the German people, but there is a
growing bitterness toward the crimes
of the HOhenZOleTns. There is a
feeling that now is the time to finish
the job of kicking hereditary kings
off their thrones and making the
world democratic. If there should
happen now what happened in Rus
STA when Nick ROmanOff lost his job,
a democratic world would demand a
fair and honorable peace with a Ger
many controlled by the German peo-
pie. The kaiser is making a stand
for the old divine right thing and is
up against the struggle for a world
democracy. And that's why it was
inevitable from the beginning that
we had to get in it and do our share
of the fighting for democracy. There
IS one way in which the kaiser might
win a great victory, and that is by
abdicating his kingship for himself
and the whole HOhenzolleTn outfit
and asking the German people to
make their own government. AS he
won't do that, it's a job the German
people might as well tackle on their
own account.
