Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Here is a pattern peculiarly well adapted to the time tor it can be converted to a variety of uses. As you see it on the figure, 1t makes an attractive and serviceable dress for general wear. As you sec 1t in the back view, 1t is q simple little garment that you can wear for home afternoon needs. If you sub- stltute very short sleeves for the long ones and cut tine neck to form q deep V at the front and back and use a pretty silk or satin of some sort, trim the neck and sleeves with bead banding and make a 9irdle of the same to wind twice around fhe waist, you will have d dinner ,oWn. Who but the initiated .ould suspect that the three seSses were made from the one 10del? On the figure, the ma teriaI is gabardinc with one of the wonderfully colored ma- terials which show designs copied from the great American Indian fabrics used as trimming.
 :; For the medium size will be needed, 5 yards of material ,36 or A4 inches wide, 43s yards 44 or S4.
 The pattern No. 9575 is cut in sizes from 34 to 20 inches bust measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper on receipt of fifteen cents.
 Here is a suggestion that will be especially welcome to those who are going South for mid-Winter. The suit is a very smart one and so essentially youthful in its lines that it de- clares itself at once as adapted to young girls and to small women of girlish figures. The skirt consists of just one straight piece and you can make it of a single width of material one and one-half yards wide. That means there is only one seam to sew up, and over the front there is a very novel pocket arrange ment. The coat tells its own story. The pretty revers give extremely becoming and grace full lines to the figure. As you see it here, it is made of checked broadcloth, tan and brown and, it is trimmed with brown.
 For the 16-year size the coat will require, 32s yards of ma terial 36 inches wide, 3 yards A, e12 yards 54, with I yard of broadcloth for the trimming. For the skirt will be needed, 2N yards 3o or A, 15s yards 54 inches wide.
 The patterns of the coat No. o648 and of the skirt No. o646 both are cut in sizes for 16 and IS years. They will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper on receipt of fifteen cents for each.

LET US HELP TO BRING JONES
AND SMITH TOGETHER

This is a very good time for the
man on the land to make an inven-
tory of his farm machinery and tools.
In the course of time every farmer
accumulates a lot of stuff of one kind
and another machinery, tools, etc.
which experience has convinced him
he does not need and can dispense
with. At the same time he also
knows from the experience of the past
season that there is machinery that
he does need, and could use with ad-
vantage in the prosecution of his
work. If the two could get together
and make an exchange both would be
benefited. Jones has what he does
not need and want. Farmer Smith
has what Jones needs, and himself
needs the very things Jones wants to
get rid of. This condition occurs quite
frequently. If Jones and Smith would
make their wants known to each other
thru the means of a little inexpen-
sive want advertisement in the Echo
both would be benefited.

volume of business will be well above
this lower limit With this precau-
ton, with a reasonably efficient
management, the financial end will
cause little difficulty, nor need the as
sociation fear the effects of legitimate
competition.
Organization Plans of the Office of
Farm Markets
In considering the advisability of
organizing a specific association the
first task is that of ascertaining the
minimum volume of business required
to make the association a thorough
going concern. After arriving at
definite estimate of the amount of
business required, the next step is to
obtain this minimum amount of bust
ness before actually forming the or
ganization. IF the required volume
of business is secured among those in
the communities interested, within
reasonable length of time, the organi-
cation is completed. If the estimated
volume is not pledged the undertak-
ing is dropped.
Each farmer who pledges himself
to become a member agrees to sign a
contract appointing the association his
exclusive sales agent for the specific
product or products which the asso-
citation expects to handle. Further
more, he agrees to give negotiable
non-interest bearing note to the asso-
citation. The amount of this note is
based on the amount of business which
he expects the organization to handle
for him-so much per acre or so much
per ton. This note serves two pur-
poses. (1) 1t furnishes security for
obtaining the necessary capital for
financing the company. (2) 1t serves
as security for damage to the associa-
ton in case the member does not live
up to the terms of his contract.
AS a rule co-operators consider
1oyalty" of members as the keynote
to successful cooperation. Patronage
is another term for loyalty. A mem
Der who patronizes his association is
loyal to that association. Consequent
ly, it is the policy of the office of
farm markets to insure that loyalty
by means of patronage contracts
backed by notes as evidence of a mem
ber's good faith to abide by the terms
of his contract. If member is not
willing to back his allegiance to his
association in this manner, his support
is not to be depended upon in times of
stress; and every competitive business
private as well as co-operative-has
its times of stress.
When the required amount of bust
ness has been secured on the above
basis, the association is formally or
ganized.
The office of farm markets will fur
nish upon request, suggested bylaws,
crop contracts, and other forms for
the information of those considering
the advisability of organizing coop
erative marketing association. Fur
ther, this office will personally assist
in presenting methods of organization
and finance to the people of those
communities interested. Requests for
this service should be taken up with
the local county agricultural agent,
who will make the necessary arrange
ments with this office.
