The Cooperative Education
Association OF Virginia.

The Cooperative Education
Association of Virginia is max
ing a special effort this year in
organizing school and civic
leagues iii every school in Vir-
ginia. Their aim is to have the
school social centcr-a comnu-
nifty capitol and every communi-
ty II little democracy. The ulti-
mate unit of every state, terri
tory and possession of the United
States is the school district.
Here they meet evenings and
times that the regular school is
not i'll session to discuss topics of
common interest to all. Schools,
good roads or streets, health, i'm
proved methods Of agriculture,
cooperative buying and selling,
and everything that pertains to
the community bettcrmcnt and
development.
The 96S school and civic
leagues of Virginia have mem
bership of over 1000 and they
have raised annually SO, 900 for
the improvement of their schools
and community. Last year they
raised over half million for
war work.
Their main purpose is to cdu-
cate the public aud show the
public and show the need Of bet.
ter schools, better health, better
roads, etc, and let the citizens
see where they will get hun
dred-fold interest on their money
by building up and improving
their community.
Last year 25G leagues held
better school day, 81 good roads
day, 80 better health day, 100
better farm day, III community
day and % better church dav.
Here are 72S meetings in vari-
GUS parts of the state with an
average attendance of 200 at
each meeting. 1t cannot be de
MED that any organization that
brings out over 40, 900 citizens
to discuss such vital topics is do
ing an incalculablc amount of
good not only TO the state and
nation but 10 the citizen and
community itself.
The public school building is
the only place where all crccds
and organizations can meet ON
the level. 1t is non-partisan,
non-sectarian and non-exclusive.
In fact, ii is the sacred shrine of
democracy itself.
The association feels that the
public school plant should not
only be used for the purposes
above indicated but it should be
the polling place Of the district.
During the last presidential cleo
ton president Wilson voted at
the fire engine house and Mr..
Hughes voted ina laundry. Why
pay eXhorbitant rents for these
unsightlyand unattractive places
when the school house belong to
the people and represent All in
vestment OF nearly two billion
dollars. In the days of the He
brew Republic the Ark of the
Covenant was kept in the most
sacred place in the Temple
Why not the ballot box, the
American Ark of the Covenant,
not he placed in the Temple OF
Democracy, the public schools.
Any community interested in
the organization of Il school and
civic league, write George w.

Be Careful About Cotton.

The price of cotton is still 60
ing down at a large per cent Of
the 1918 crop yet to be marketed.
Another.big crop the coming year
means still greater depression in
the price of the STAPLE. Can the
South afford to take a chance?
Better raise more hogs, cattle
and food crops and decrease the
cotton acreage. There is money
in strawberries. fruits, potatoes,
hay, corn, peas, hogs and cattle,
so why 60 crazy over cotton!
Raise some cotton, of course, but
make it the surplus crop, and
then you would be assured OF a
good price for it, and have all the
feed stuff for home use, and to
sell, and plenty of forage to feed
your stock.-Hammond Vindi-
Gator.

SPECTATORS TRY

People Urged Not to Sell Government

Atlanta.-Reports are reaching the
Federal Reserve Bank Of Atlanta that
many owners of Liberty Bonds are
selling them at prices lower than
their market value.
Investigations show that shrewd
spectators are active in trying to
induce people to part with their Gov
c.-'1ment securities. Many Of them
are offering to take Liberty Bonds in
exchange for some other so.called
security which promises a higher
rate Of interest than Liberty Bonds.
It is pointed out by Treasury Of.
fcials that Liberty Bonds are worth
every dollar paid for them. One evi.
dence of their value is the eagerness
Of the speculator to get possession OF
them. He knows what they are worth
Their Liberty Bond owner does not
know the value Of the stock" OF

his Government security.
Liberty Bonds have back Of them
the entire resources Of the United
States which makes them worth their
face value. The person who exchang
es them for some other kind Of paper
risks losing the money invested IL
his bond as well as the interest

Spotlight On Food Heads
Is Proposed By Sanders.

Washington, Feb. 15.-(spe-
cial.)-If food administrators,
either federal or local, have been [
guilty of oppression and discrim-
ination to the disadvantage of pro-
ducers, let the searcblight OF
criminal proceedings be directed
against them.
Representative Sanders, OF
Louisiana, who is member OF
the House interstate commerce
committee, declared it was this
thought which prompted him to"
day to introduce in the House a
bill providing for both civil and
criminal action against unnamed
officers, agents and admlnis-
traitors of the United States Food
Administration.
The bill cannot be passed at
this session, but Mr.. Sanders
announced he will call for early
consideration in an expected ex-.
ira session. While the measure
is destined to open the way for
prosecution of food officials,
should they continue their alleged
offenses, its immediate probable
result will be an investigation by
the Interstate Commerse Com
mittee to ascertain to what extent
producers have suffered through
} discrimination.

;, Mr.. Sanders, ''to crystalize

liable service as training ships.
After the armistice the Iowa, Mas
sachusetts and Indiana were sent to
the navy yard at Philadelphia, where
their coIors were hauled down for the

coast. The other ships of the old navy
remained temporarily on duty, most of
them for use as troop transports, but
they, too, will soon be relegated to
