that the California Citrus Association was founded and has been operated so successfully. This plan originated in California has been for years sue cessfully followed by the Florida Git rus Exchange and has brought gener- al prosperity to the prune, rasin and nut growers of California in recent years. The organizations maintain warehouses in central locations, all of which are under one general head and an advisory committee, composed largely of the managers of the vari- ous branches. This organization gath CTS statistics upon the condition of the worlds market, which enables it to place it's products to better advan- tage. It directs the sales and makes an immediate settlement with the growers. Standards are set by the association and while there is no in- spection of orchards and groves the standard is improved through the eff fort of the producer to secure a great CT price for his commodity.
 It is argued by those posing a CO., operative, warehousing and sales agency, that the principles which have brought the citrus growers from 2 state of despondency to prosperity, are adaptable to cottdn growing. This is not a crop diversifcation movement and in the organization the field rep resentative will not be expected to consult the cotton grower. The bank CT, the merchant and the big planter are the ones the promoters seek to bring into the organization. The banker and the leading merchant of most communities is the same and the banker and. merchant can control the crop that is planted in their commu- nity.
 The personnel of the meeting to be held Thursday night is different from any other cotton meeting yet held in Little Rock. 1t includes many who have prospered in lines far remote from the cotton. business. They are interested because the prosperity of the state is largely dependent upon the cotton crop and with these men expressing willingness to financially encourage the cooperative marketing plan, success seems assured The pro moters are not the professional kind, but leading buiness men and co

Forty of the leading business men es Little Rock have pledged their attendance at this meeting. and most of thefa have given their approval to the plan in advance of the meeting and ex- pressed willingness to assist in f. nancing the proposition.

\ London Times: At yesterdays
meeting OF the church congress
more than one speaker comment
ed on the fact that preachers
nowadays very rarely devote
their sermons TO the christian
doctrine of the future life. Fifty
years ago heaven and hell were
the constant themes of the Sun
day dfscourses to which our
fathers listened, and no hesita-
ton was apparent In entering
into particulars as to the precise
conditions on which men might
win entrance into the realms of
light or to be doomed to the ban
ishment of the outer darkness
When DR.. Farrar preached his
famous sermons on the life after
death. he reused widespread in

by his denunciation of what was
understood to be the orthodox
teaching about hell and eternal
punishment But he expressed.
though in too flamboyant terms.
what was already in the minds
OF many, IL not most, religious
people. For the ordinary wor-
shipper in our churches and chap
els the traditional pictures OF
heaven have no attraction and
the terrors OF hell have no fear.
Christian teachers are aware of
this fact, and this, together with
their Own consciousness of hav-
ing passed from the old point of
view. accounts for the infreqaent
reference to the future life in
modern sermons. But at the
the life after death is a constant
subject of reflection in many
minds today. Men and women
everywhere are ready to welcome
with pathetic eagerness sound
teaching which. while 1t reckons
with modern science and phi
losophy, preserves for them the
hope Of immortality.
The war has given an added
urgency to the appeal for guild
ance on this subject. When so

Jewish symbolism in which their
teaching is framed. we must
come TO the conclusion that
primitive christians were con-
tent to know but little of the
conditions Of the life after death.
Why should they be troubled in
