country, which will incidentally

Aaron Sapiro, of San Francisco, at
torney for fourteen of the famous
cooperative associations of Califor-
mia and other western states, who
drafted the plan placed before the
farm federation convention at Chic

adopted it.
There is not doubt in the world
but that the farmers are going to
market the crops of the ten largest
producing states, by 1928 thru a
great marketing association of their
own similar to the pioneer organiza-
lions here in California" stated Mr..
Sapiro. 1T is going to take us over
two years to get started.

are going to work out our plans for
organization. Then we will spend a

He had just gone into the grocery

"shop-shop-shop" when he went to
see his best girl. At first she endured
1t because she did not wish to offend

But her chance came. One night
when he was at her house he picked

idly to glance through 1t. His idle
manner became one Of interest as he

Praise for Hiuh-Heeled Shoes.


Women's high-hceled shoes, regard
ed by medical science for years as
production of nervous troubles, paral-
ysis and other ills, have at last come
in for professional commentator.
That high-heeled shoes may be re-
garded as a preventive Of consumption
was the declaration Of Doctor Gautiez
before the Academy Of Sciences.
Doctor Gautiez, following expert
ments, found, he declared, that the ac-
ton Of standing or walking on the toes
Is conducive to chest breathing as op-
posed to abdominal breathing. Many
cases Of consumption, he pointed out
have their origin In the fact that the
upper lungs Of abdominal breathers
become diseased through lack Of COM
plete use-a condition from which the
wearers Of high-heeled shoes seldom
suffer.

New York Business Man Tells How in
His Opinion America May
Control Trade Marts.

"If the United States expects to OBJ
tain its share Of the worlds COM
merce," New York broker was over
heard to say, ut must keep pace with
other world powers with which II has
to compete. Trained men are neces-
sary in any line of business and for
eign commerce Is one line In which
training is absolutely essential"
II believe that the United States
merchant marine is again to come into
its own" continues the same broker
in the Washington Post, "but the finest
lot of merchandise on earth, coupled
with the greatest fleet of merchant YES
sells ever known, is of no avail unless
backed up by the selling ability and
understanding of trained men who
know how to place American goods in
foreign markets.
"All the large mercantile firms are
taking steps to train men specially for
each country in which they expect to
do business. The prospective salesman
or manager for any particular cOun-
try is educated in the language, his
tory, traditions and peculiarities OF
that country, so that he can in a sense
meet the people on their own ground.
He knows just what to do under given
conditions and is of vast value to the
firm that employs him.
"The bureau of foreign and domes-
tic commerce is doing a great deal of
good in aiding in tie Introduction Of
American goods abroad, but l think
the government should 60 step furth-
err and have regular school for such
experts, maintained on the same stand
ing and in the same relation to COM
merce in general as West Point stands
to the army or Annapolis to the navy.
The students should be taught every
possible fact regarding European. Ash
attic and South American countries, so
that they could step forth as experts,
each on some particular country. Such
school would amply repay the gov
eminent in the large increase in vol
ume of foreign business which would

they can be lowered to the r0adbed,

Peter Rabbit had eyes for just one
thing, the tall of Paddy the Beaver.
He couldn't keep them off it. You
know Peter has such a funny little
tail Of his own that he never has been
quite sure whether to be ashamed or
proud of it. So he always is compar-
ing it with the tails of his friends
Old Mother Nature noticed how Peter
was staring. We'll. what have you
on your mind now. Peter" she asked.
That tail" replied Peter. I've seen
a lot of queer tails, but that one is
the queerest ever. l should think 1t
would be heavy and dreadfully in the
way"
Old Mother Nature laughed. IF you

Paddy nodded. "It certainly is"
said he. Il couldn't get along with
out it."
There isn't another like it in all
Mother Nature. and if you'll be pa
tient you will see just how handy it
is
1t was a queer looking tail. There
was no denying that. 1t was broad
and thick and fiat, oval in shape and
covered with scales instead of hair.
Somehow Peter couldn't make it seem
like a tail at all. Just then Jumper
the Hare made a discovery, why"
he exclaimed. why! Paddy has feet
like Honker the Goose."
only my hind feet" said Paddy.
They have webs between the toes
just as Honker's have. I suppose that
is what you mean. That is for SWIM
ming. But there are no webs between
my fingers He held up hand for
all to see. Sure enough. there were no
webs between the fingers. They were
entirely free.
Now that everybody has had a good
look at you. Paddy. suppose you swim
over to where you have been cutting
trees We will join you there and
then you can show us what kind of a
lumberman you are" said Old Mother
Nature.
Paddy slipped into the water There
for minute or two he foated with
just his head above the surface. Then
without warning he lifted his broad.
heavy tail and brought it down on the
surface of the water with a slap that
gun. 1t was SO loud and unexpected
that every one but Old Mother Nature
and Prickly Porky jumped with fright
Peter Rabbit happened to be sitting
right on the edge of the dam facing
the pond. He didn't stop to think
He just jumped. OF course there was
