Douglas, May 7.-During the day
the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic
railroad transported through Douglas
two solid freight trains loaded with
pineapples, en- route to Chicago. The
first train carried 80 cars and the. sec
ond train carried So cars. These
cars were loaded in Havana, Cuba,
were transported from Havana to
Key West on ferry boats and were
brought from Key West to Waycross
and turned over to the Atlanta, Bir-
mingham and Atlantic railroad.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic gives these cars the right of
way and they make an average of
80 miles an hour between Waycross

part of 1000 refrigerator cars loaded
with pineapples which will be shipped

the route

P. ST. am also good at my

You are it seems a talented Miss
13-year-old and evidently have an
added talent-ambition, but II your
parents can send you to high school
at home why not be content with
that and leave boarding school for a
later year? You could sell your
fancy work, but It would be a long,
long, road to gain enough for school
days. Your talents will increase with
''use" and a 13-year-old miss can
wait just one or two years before
trying Neutrality-suspicious." school,
can't she?

The COOPERATIVE Plan.
The family finances can be run
on a thoroughly democratic plan, as
has been demonstrated by numerous
families. The family referred to at
the beginning of this article divides
the income exactly in two; also the
expenses are divided into two parts
as nearly equal as possible. Then
each is entirely responsible for his
share of assets and Liabilities. An
other working out of this same
principle is the meeting of all COM
mon expenses, including savings,
out of the monthly income, the re-
mainder being divided in two parts
for clothing and other personal ex-
penses. Husband and wife each
handle one of these two parts indie
pendently. Z.
A third working out of the princi-
pie is the common banking account,
upon which each draws as necessity
arises. This third idea is perhaps
the most idealistic and least practi-
cal. 1t depends on an exception
ally fine sense of fairness in each
partner, since no definite limit is
set on either.
The argument offered against the
cooperative plan of handling family
finances is the old, familiar one that
most women cannot be trusted to
handle money I have heard women
themselves make this statement.
There are two answers to that ar
gument. There is no way of learn
ing half so thorough as doing. Give
a woman the handling of money and
she will learn to do it. The second
argument is more of retort-if a
man can trust his wife with his
children, he surely ought to trt t
her with his money.
Where do the children come in,
in these plans? Their share will
be discussed in this column Friday.
