MAKES A SUCCESS OF
COOPERATIVE MARKETING

TT was only little OBJECT lessoa
in cooperative marketing, is the mtd
est statement of Tennessee woman
whose activities have produced pros
porous dairying community.
In 1909, fourteen women were or
ganized at Pulaski, Tenn, to demon
strate the theory OF cooperative eff
fort. Butter and eggs from the rela-
lively few cows and fowls of the COM
munity were assembled and market
ed The quality of the products, due
to the care taken in selection and
preparation, was such that they com
manded the highest prevailing prices.
The wonen's husbands began to take
notice and soon interested themselves
in dairy cows. This led to the intro
duction of Jerseys, separators, silos,
milking machines, and the shipping
of whole milk and cream.
Similar results are being secured ia
many sections of the country, State
experts of the Bureau of Markets,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The movement frequently
starts with small group of farmers,
farmers wives, or boys and girls,
who quickly demonstrate the advan-
tages eff improved production and
marketing methods. The county
agents advise those interested in the
formation of such organizations and
the administration methods to be
adopted and are glad to render every
| assistance upon request.

ATTACK ON DANZIG
 BY THE BOLSHEVIKI
 WORRYING GERMANS
Believe Red Russians May Cut Polish COrridor-Allies Fear Same
 Thing

Johannisburg, East Prussia, August B. Russian soviet armies, once they have finished with Poland proper, may strike toward Danzig. it is feared by the people living in the Polish corridor.
 TEere is increasing apprehension among the intentions of the Russians. Officials of the interallied mission freely express the opinion that situation may arise With which the supreme council alone can deal.
 Unrest in this region is augmented by reports from German agents that the Russians are known to be considering the feasibility of the establishment of a soviet government with the aid of Ger man communists in East Prussia, if not eventually in all Germany.
 A German soldier who has been serving with the Russians reached here today, and asserted he had heard bolshevik lead: CTS discussing plans for attacking Ger many. Officers of the security police, discussing the possibility of such an at- tack, say it is hardly probable they could hold the frontier, and allied representa- tives have said their troops could in no event be used to aid them. It is there fore impossible to predict what the out come might be. but confidence is felt the border police have not been undermined by boshevik propaganda. and would offer stout resistance.
 Advices from Allenstein state. the Pol ish consulate there has ordered that no permits be issued to any person to enter Poland for any reason whatever.

 South Atlantic Port

New York. August s-A protest against going ahead with construction of a new dry dock at the Charleston navy yard is voiced in a letter from United States Senator William M. Calder of New York to Secretary fthe Navy Daniels, made public here today
 To proceed with the work, which was authorized by Congress as war meas ure, would be simply wilful waste of public funds,' Senator Calder declared
 T am sure that you will not counte- nance the expenditure of money in a manner that will be tantamount to a vio- lation of the law.
 During the session recently ended ex- traordinary efforts were made to de- crease the cost of government and there by decrease the burden of taxation. To proceed with this work now would be waste of the public's money on improve ments that. understand. has never been recommended by any naval board, and in the judgment of every naval officer it. is entirely unnecessary"
 Senator Calder declared preliminary es- inmates indicated that the dock could not be built for s4.o0o,0o0 the amount au- thorized by Congress for the work, and added that he was informed it was con- templated gettiES around the limit. of cost by building the dock by day labor.

FEDERAL WAR MEN
 BATTLE THE POLICE
American Sailors and Ma rines Attack Station,
 Then It Was Belts"
By Associated Prss

Revere, Mass, August S.-Federal troops from Fort Banks were rushed to Revere Beach tonight, after a crowd of sailors and marines had attacked a po- lice station after mobbing a MetropolI- tan Park officer who had attempted to arrest sailor on a charge of drunk enness.
 While thousands of Sunday night pleas ure seekers looked on, the sailors and marines joined by a few soldiers, and numbering more than 400, took the pris- oner from the officer and then gave bat tie to other members of the force Some of them seized rifles from nearby shoot ing galleries and opened fire on the tpo- lice station. The police returned the fire with revolvers and shotguns. Five sailors were seriously wounded and there were many minor injuries.
 Help was summoned from Fort Banks, the Chelsea police and the Boston navy yards. A detachment of 300 soldiers from Fort Banks was hurried to the scene and proceeded with fixed bayonets to clear the beach. The police estimated the crowd at the beach, at the time of the rioting to be 100000.
 The naval authorities gave orders to the navy provost guard that every sailor in Revere was to be arrested Late to- night more than 100 had been placed un- der arrest, and the authorities seemed to have gained control of the situation.
 Several patrolmen were injured in tho fighting, none seriously. The beach is under the control of the metropolitan dis trict commission and is patrolled by the commissions police force.
 The excitement among the onlookers was intense, especially when the officers fired volleys over their heads in an eff fort to frighten away their attackers. Women and girls screamed and some of them tainted in the crush as the throng pressed close to watch the battle. IL was more than three hours before the soldiers and police, assisted by naval provot guards. succeeded in driving away the throng of curious. The police sta- tion was filed with prisoners and many more were lined outside under guard.

WOULD NOT RAISE
 FREIGHT RATES ON
 BUILDING MATTER
Senate Committee Proposes Exempting Construction Materials From New
 Railway Tariff

New York, August S.-The Senate com mttee on reconstruction and production tonight made public a letter to the inter state commerce commission protesting any increased freight rates on basic building materials. Suggestion was made that freight increases be worked out on the basis of the ability of various com modities to withstand advances with a view to the least disturbances of the country's equilibrium.
 Sand, gravel, crushed rock, brick and cement were specified among the ma- terials which should be excepted. The letter points out that increased charges were based upon the movement of build- the purpose of enforcing an embargo prosecution of the war. If further in- creases are now allowed, the letter says, it will result in further stifling of much needed construction.
 This committee earnestly begs the letter concludes, that your commission will make suchan adjustment in the rates as will cause the different kinds of freight to bear the burden in proportion to their ability to pay It is the belief of this commission that rates on goods of high value should be increased a greater percentage than the rates ot goods of less value.r
 Tbc committee announced that hegin- ming Tuesday series of hearings would be held in this city at which housing, building, transportation and financial conditions would be considered

REPUBLICANS ARE
 SKEPT|CAL ABOUT
 BREAKING SOUTH
Census Figures on Shelby County Contain Interest ing Data-Tammany at

Fly HUGH w. ROBERTS.
 Washington Bureau The Aso- hera


 Washington, August S.-(Special.)-- ing much headway in their effort to onduce the national committee to in- dulge the hope that this year the solid south will be smashed
 The national leaders are not resent ful. But they are exceedingly sarcas- tic. Reflecting this spirit, N. 0. Mes- senger writes in the Washington Star the following significant southern" story:
 Tn national politics, there is noted at this time the normal quadrennial recur- renee of talk about beraking the solid south. Every four years for long time now appear group of southern republicans bearing bouquets to their northern brethren redolent of high hopes and aspirations of republican breach in the solid democratic phalanx south of the Mason-Dix line.
 ITO be sure, the party managers will say that while the one hand holds the proffered bouquet, the other is out, stretched for a liberal allotment of campaign funds. When it is apple lime in Maryland," 1t is harvest time for uthertsrepublicans. If the party wins try cSp a aoubic eEsp, fos$ tas, Sss the #svsral offices. But they fnAt have Hue campaign money--that IS, a bird in the hand.
 This year the political salesmen from the south are talking big bargains to be had in Tennessee, North Carolina and even Georgia. You ought to see Clark Howell grin when they talk about splitting the electoral vote in Georgia. Others of them hint d re- publican look-in in the state of Texas So 1t seems that oil stocks are not the only lures held out to northern inves- tors by the Lone Star State promoters
 Occasionally. the republicans do get wind fall in republican representa- tive in Congress from North Carolina. or pick up an additional one in Tennes- see. Time was when Virginia fur nished more than the Bascom Slemp dis trict to the republican column. But now the cheerful Optimists are talking elec- toraI votes
 You interest us, strangely; proceed . Is about the way the wary old repub- lican managers are receiving these glowing forecasts of latent republican gushers in the south. They are said, however, to be finding that the cost of drilling is entirely out of proportion to the real oil struck.
 1no Ddsls OI TepuDllcdn Claims Tn Tennessee is the fact that races for state offices are so acute that candi- dates are paying the poll taxes of i'm pecunious voters, forecasting an ex- ceedingly heavy vote. It is the claim that if the full republican vote re- spends, some democratic surprises are in store
 "The republicans are apparently counting on the spit conditions in Geor- gia among the democrats to help them gain foothold in that state. Georgia democrats say they are not at all alarmed; that Cox is an acceptable can didate; that the Wilson feud is likely to be forgotten as Cox dominates the campaign. and that on election day the faithful will have ridded their systems of all their old grudges, and will walk
