sary since 1t has been proven conclu
sively that when Arkansas people get
together for the sale of their products
they undoubtedly do better

formed with purpose in mind are in
the most cases successful, while or

been 80 fortunate
Every organization must have eff

Kansas is fortunate in having al least
one man in the county who is inter
ested in the marketing of farm prod
ucts and who Is willing to help organ
izations In every way possible. This
man is the county agent, who is the
natural and logical leader in all of
these movements and will be willing
10 cooperate at any time with people
who wish TO get together and benefit
by an organization which they may

OF Agriculture can give them through

Arkansas people have been co-ope-
rating for some time in buying cattle,
hogs. seed and farm implements. etc,
and in many localities. products have
been sold with considerable profit by
marketing organisations. However,
these organizations for marketing farm
products are not as numerous as they
should be.
Organization on large scale Is not
necessary in order to derive benefits
There is no need for people on small
farms who have ten or twelve head Of
fat hogs to sell. 10 dispose OF them
at from three to Ave cents a pound

can ship in car lots and secure mar
kct prices for their stuff
II has been proven that Irish po-
tatoes can be sold more profitably
through cooperation In several sec

growers have been willing to organize
for the purpose OF marketing their
potatoes in car lots they have inva-
riably received y better price
Sweet pota,oe SO we'll adapted TO

where the growers are willing to get
together for carrot shipments.

FROM FARM TO CITY
 AUTO THE KEYNOTE
 IF EFFICIENT WORK

"The great war has caused the pub lie to scrutinize carefully the relation of every manufactured article to the efficient conduct of business.' says an official of the Dort Motor Car com pany.
 Prom this test, the automobile has emerged triumphant Proof is in fact overwhelming that passenger cars not only bring necessary relief to that traffic congestion which is so vexing a problem to all communities. but serves to make individual effort more effective.
 Through the increase in the mile age of good roads, all classes of busi- ness find their operating zones widened. For the manufacturing and iobbing houses, thousands of cars tra- verse the interurban highways, un- bound by inflexible railroad time tables and thus covering many times more ground than otherwise would be possible

GOOD TIRES SAVE
 MONEY EVENTUALLY
 SAYS FISK EXPERT

Speaking of car expense, suppose l told you how you could make your gasoline cost you 16 2-3c a gallon next year?' asked the service man of the Fisk Rubber company.
 Suppose you drive your car 7500 miles at the rate of 12 miles to a gal lon. With fuel at 25c your gas costs Sl56. Now if you save $52 of that $156, it'brings your costs down to 16 2-3c.
 Here's how you do it Using 35X41a tires and running 7500 miles your ex- pense for the season on shoes alone is probably about $250 Save 21 per cent of that and you have your S52 and the saving on your tires pays for 1-3 the cost of your gasoline Saving the 21 per cent of your tire cost is ab- solutely simple no matter what tires you use Have them inflated to the proper pressure each week, test your l wheels for alignment each week, take l care of cuts. keep your brakes uni 1 form and don't scrape your tires along l the curbings. That's all you have to | do and the probability is that you vii
 save 40 or 50 per cent rather than the i 21 per cent mentioned. Try it this 1 yeaR It surely is fine year to save

By GEORGE A. klSSEl President kissel Motor Car Go.

The giant strides which the automo- bile industry has made in perfecting the passenger car to that point of ef fioiency necessary to become a part and parcel of our every day life, can be seen from the fact that while only q few years ago 1t was regarded as a pleasure vehicle, today it is acclaimed by the entire world as a utility and necessity in all walks of life and in practically every line of business en- deavor.
 The purchase of an automobile today is considered an investment. The pur chaser has in mind utilizing it's time and labor saving qualities to his ad vantage He has made investigations talked with owners and has seen it's efficiency demonstrated on the streets every day It's reliability of construc- ton, dependability of performance, and adaptablity in saving time has proven it's unassailable position in the life and work of the nation.
 Competition among the manufactur- CTS has not only standardized the leading cars. but has brought the passenger car up to it's present high point of perfection.
 [ look for a greater dependability being placed on the automobile during the coming year. I say this, not only because through our country being at war. necessitates everybody employing those efficiency methods that increase their ability and save time. but also because it is just as necessary to em- ploy those methods that keep one in sound physical and mental condition.
 To be up and coming every day ir the year sapt to be a. strain on any, body. unless he can, without interrup- tion take proper care of his health. A man with an automobile can set a pace which the other fellow without tn, same means of transportation fihd hard to follow.
 If you have a machine and your com petitor has not, it is plain. common sense that you can cover more ground than he can. and consequently do nor business in less time. As one business man expressed it: GA man with al automobile rides to success and en joys the trip"
 While the automobile has been de veloped so that it is mechanically per feet and will give uninterrupted ser vice, at the same time the manufac turers have made their product unus ually comfortable, thus insuring owners a physical let-down or res while travelling from point to point.
 The purchase of an automobil should be made as a business proposi ton. If you are in the manufacturin business. and it is necessary for yo to add more equipment to keep u with the demand for your goods, ther would be no hesitation on your pal to make the investment
 This undoubtedly is the reason wh business men purchase automobile They are not only free from the pett annoyances and delays common wit other means of travel, but arrive ; their offices feeling in good trim aftt their drive down town and can mal their appointments on time and

 An incident comes to my mind which
 shows how in one case the automobile not only enabled an owner to get
 around more quickly and be in more
 places, but also doubled his capacity for work and made him independent
 of other conveyances.
 Practically all of this mans busi- ness acquaintances had purchased cars but. as he said: 'I was so taken up
