KILL OWN CHILDREN AT BIRTH
Aroi of Tahiti Look Upon Attempt OF
One of Their Order to Raise
Child as Sin.

Lovers of laughter, song, music
flowers and birds, the Ariol of Tahiti
killed their own children at BIRTH and
looked upon the attempt of a member
OF their order to rear a child as a
sin. While religious causes were
given for this by the leaders and, no
doubt, believed in, the real cause,
Frederick O'Brien tells in the Century,
was a natural one whereby the species,
to prevent oyer-population of the
South sea island, destroyed its own.
With perfect health and no enemies.
the island would soon have had hard
time finding food.
The Arioi were wandering minstrels
actors, priests and wonder workers to
which belonged both men and women
The natives Of Tahiti who have es-
capped the blight of civilization are
living proofs that at one time the race
was one Of the most beautiful in the
worlds history, while investigators
declare that arts and civilization were
brought to a high plane hundreds of
years ago.

TWO KINDS OF ADVENTURE
New Yorker Who Offered to Sell His
Life's Services Already Has
Had Takers.

Jack Hardy, a former sailor, living
In New York, who advertised that he
was ready to sell his services for the
rest Of his life to the highest bidder
who had a career of useful adventure
to offer, has received two bids.
A woman offered him $1,000 to be
her bodyguard on a trip to Egypt
providing the trip was successful"
Jack doesn't think he'll take this, not
being certain what the woman regards
as a successful trip to Egypt The
other offer was from a man and his
wife who described themselves as the
walthiest couple in Scranton Pa,
wanted Jack to help hunt for their fif-
teen-ycar-old son with $4,000 and
adoption as the reward.
That is more promising. the young
man thinks, but he has reached no de-
ciSioE yet. He is twenty-five years
old I'm not looking for a soft BERTH"
he said. THE harder the job, the bet
ter like it."

position to relay important things to

NOTED to vice presidency. He talked

In desperation the bank directors
made him president of the institution.

PAINT FOR INSIDE OF SILOS
Specially Prepared Mixtures Are Put
Up by Firms Which Build

Some Of the firms putting up con-

mixtures to use in painting the inside.

to I'LL the pores Of the silo walls. Prof.
j. B. Fitch, head Of the dairy depart
ment of the Kansas State Agricultural
college, states that he prefers to use
warm tar or hot paraffine to coat the

Five and half million dollars. That
is the amount of savings and increased
profits estimated to have been secured
by producers through the assistance of
the United States bureau of markets
field representatives in marketing,
working in cooperation with state
marketing agencies in II states during
the year ended June 80 1920. This fig
ure is made uD of hundreds of indiyid-
ual items of savings and additional
profits estimated by growers, shippers
and marketing agencies concerned and
reported to the United States bureau
of markets.
State cooperative work In market
ing is carried on by the United States
department of agriculture in 81 states,
but information regarding the total
savings effected in all of them is not
yet available.
Improvement in methods of market
ing and distributing farm products is
the object Of this marketing work. In
vestigations Of grading packing load
ing, shipping and marketing are made
and visual demonstrations given pro
ducers to familiarize them with the
best marketing methods. Thus, some
200 demonstrations OF approved prac-
tees of preparing farm products for
market and over 700 talks relative to
packing, grading, handling, storing
and selling farm products and the for
nation of associations for cooperative
activity were given. In one state alone
two cooperative livestock shipping
associations with a membership Of 81
$50 shippers were formed and an es-
timated saving of $73,54S secured
through the cooperative shipping of
1913 cars of cattle, hogs and sheep
from 80 counties.
Aid Marketing Organizations.
While complete figures are not
available, those at hand show that the
field men We're instrumental n the for
nation of 1888 marketing organiza-
tions, including so livestock shipping
associations and 81 fruit or vegetable
associations. They also assisted in
the organization of II credit unions
and 10 declarations of existing associ-
ations, most Of which are statewide in
scope. One hundred and sixty-six
wool pools handling over 100000
pounds of wool were given assistance
in organization and grading. In
number Of states the field men,
through state agencies, secured the
adoption of federal standards for farm
products and containers, One hun
dred and thirty-eight groups of pro-
ducers were assisted in making CO.
operative sales. One sale included
AIT head Of cattle, which sold for So

sweet potatoes was given producers
and shippers in the Southern states.
In one state plans and specifications
for 80 sweet-potatO storage houses
were furnished and in another state
80 storage houses constructed from
plans furnished by the United States
bureau Of markets. a sweet-potat0
exhibit car was arranged and moved
HOO miles over four railroads touch
ing 81 points in the sweet-potato pro-
ducing sections. The exhibit included
a miniature model storage house,
working plans, and specifications for
storage houses, pictures, charts, and
slides showing approved methods Of
productoin harvesting, storing, grad
ing and packing.
Demonstrates Approved Methods.
Exhibits illustrating approved mar
keting pactices were conducted in six
states. In most instances these eX-
hibits were in connection with state
or district fairs or at eXpositlons of
more than state Importance. Coora-
dos potato shipments run from 5000
to 1880 cars year. Of this guam
tity, 40 per cent is moved during the
winter months when there Is great
danger of frost damage in transit. To
stimulate interest among Colorado po-
tato growers and shippers in better
marketing conditions, an exhibit of a
full-sized freight ear was produced in
the Denver Auditorium at the Western
potato show this year to show by ac-
tual demonstration proper methods Of
lining and loading cars Of potatoes to
prevent loss from freezing in transit,
and Of sewing sacks to prevent loss Of
potatoes slipping through the tops of
sacks. Some 5000 people attended the
exhibit, and 1t is confidently believed
that a greater number of cars will be
loaded properly
Twenty-Five short instruction courses
relative to variou; phases of market
ing were given in six states. In one
state course Of lectures covering II
weeks was given in a school Of com
merce. Cooperative enterprises in
three states were given assistance in
accounting problems. The collection
and dissemination Of information rela-
tive to quantity, quality and price Of
local produce offered for sale was ar
ranged for at II points in four states.
The United States bureau of mar
kets' report of the work of its field
agents in marketing shows that the
accomplishments were greater in num-
Der and Of more value to producers
and consumers during the year ended
June 80 1920, than in any previous
year, 1t is felt that work of this
character should make possible the
development of a consistent national
policy in improving marketing meth

FARM ACCOUNTS AID
TO BETTER PROFITS
Quite ESsential to Any Well
ThOught-0ut Plan.
Farmer Enabled to Meet Conditions In
Way That viii Give Him Great
est Net Returns on Various
Crops He Produces.

Farming is a business, and, to be
successful it must be conducted In
businesslike manner. 1t involves the
production and sale of commodities,
just as does manufacturing. The bust
ness man, whether in factory or on
farm, should be constantly considering
two questions:
l, What profit is my business max
ing7
2. How can that profit be lncreasedf
The first Of these must be answered
before an intelligent effort can be
made to answer the second. Proper
accounting leads directly to the an
swer to the first question, and hence
it Is essential to any well-thought-out
plan to increase profits.
The problem Of the farmer is to
meet conditions on his own farm in
way that will give him the greatest net
returns, year in and year out, for the
use of his capital, his labor, and his
managerial ability. Before he can be
considered a successful farm operator
he must produce results that will COW
er the value of all these. Capital can
earn interest without labor on the part
Of Its owner, and labor can earn wages
without owning any capital. The farm
er, utilizing both In the conduct Of his
business, should secure returns that
will cover both interest and wages
Not until both of these have been
more than covered can any profit be
credited to the farming operations.
Nothing but return in excess of inter
ost md wages can properly be consid.
red as net profit.
