An increase OF from two to four

erative Exchange through affiliation

growing list. Last week the pay roll
exceeded $500. More than 10000
cases of honey have been placed on
the market since the organization
and new marketing plan was adopted
by Imperial honey producers. The
future of the industry seems bright.

Idea Is Exploded.

The idea that the mail order houses
sell the same quality of goods at lower
prices than the home merchants il
quickly exploded when one learns oi
the large profits that are made by the
majority of the mail order houses and
the large selling expense to which they
are subjected. The large mail order
houses spend hundreds Of thousands
of dollars annually for advertising and
the selling expenses OF the smaller
concerns are prOpOrtionately as large.
Their other expenses, such as rent,
taxes and labor, are also higher than
those of the local retail merchants, in
proportion TO the business which theI
do. In spite of these heavy expenses,
the mail order houses distribute mil
lions of dollars in dividends among

MAKING ROADS WITH BRAINS
Most of Heavy Work Incident to High
ways Is Being Done by Machin-
ery-cost Is Less

AS help is scarce, and increasing
traffic makes good roads a necessity,
more and more Of the heavy work in
cident to highways is being done by
machinery.
At one time the work OF Ieyeling and
road building had TO be done largely
with the pickax in the hands Of work
men, and with shovels and teams Now
gasoline engines. motor trucks, and
huge power-propelIed cranes do all Of
the heavy work. In the pew method
the expense is less than by the old
method, for machinery is always cheap
er than human labor, in that a mate
rial saving of time is effected
Good roads are an economy to any
section of the country, as they permit
produce to be hauled to market just
when it will bring the most, and prop
erty is always worth more which Dor
ders well-constructed highways. Try
to buy farm along a concrete road
and you will find the location makes
a big difference in the price asked.

OF HISTORIC EDIFIcE
British Nation Has Right to ExuIt In
GIories That Surround Ancient
Westminster Abbey.

Westminster hall, next to the
Tower and Westminster abbey, is the
most historic edif1ce in London. Adj
jacent to the house of commons. 1t
dates back over 800 years. although
Richard II was responsible for its
present gIories. He it was who. in
1897. had the hall rebuilt, and added
the grand oak roof which is rightly de-
scribed as lone OF the finest feats Of
carpentry extant," and which, with
judiciOus patching from old ships tim
Der, in 1920. has lasted to this day.
Probably the largest hail in the
world unsupported by pillars, the his
torical associations of Westminster
hall, are full of interest Tablets on
the stairs and in the middle of the
hall mark the spots where Charles I
and the earl of StratfOrd stood their
trials. and another tablet records the
lying in state of King Edward.
Here successfully the duke OF Som
erset and his rival, the duke Of
Northumberland. and, little later, the
duke of Norfolk, were all tried and
condemned. The hall was also the
scene of the seven years trial of War
rem Hastings and of the proclama-
ton of Cromwell as lord protector
A few years later his head was
brought from Westminster abbey and
exposed on the southern gates.
Westminster hall also has political
and legal associations, for some OF
the earliest parliaments assembled
there, while as late as 1882 the law
courts were held within and around.

PLAN TREATMENT OF LAMBS
Attention Attracted in Many LocaIi-
ties to Value of Docking and
Castrating Lambs.

The value Of castratiOn and dock
ing OF buck lambs destined for mar
ket is attracting attention in many To-
calities where the practice has not
been generally followed. In Braxton
county, W. Va, for example, the farm
bureau plans a demonstration Of the
value Of castration and docking by
sending TO market one carload of buck
lambs that have not been thus treate
and at the same time a carload of
buck lambs that have been locked
and castrated. The prices will be
compared, and a forcefuI object les
son is expected. Farmers in GIlmer
county, of the same state, expect to
dock and castrate all their buck lambs
in the coming year.
Failure TO follow this practice gen
orally is regarded by officials of the
Bureau OF Animal Industry, United
States department Of agriculture. as
a weak point in agriculture, and they
recommend the practice to ali farm
ers.

RURAL HAULING PROFITABLE
Many Farmers, Whose Trucks Are Not
Filled to Capacity, Help Out
Their Neighbors.

Many Of the motortrucks on farms
adjacent to large cities arGnot loaded
TO full capacity on their trips to the
city. Few farmers have their bust
ness 50 arranged as to permit the use
Of the truck to its maximum capacity
regularly. Many such farmers, accord
ing to the United States department
of agriculture, have gradually begun
to haul a part or all of their neigh
bOrs' products to market, and in some
cases this practice has led to the es-
adjustment of a regular route. Some
farmers have been enabled to purchase
trucks. because their own business,
coupled with that of their neighbors',
has been sufficient to warrant such an
investment.

bought seat on the Board of Trade.
His Golden Goddess, Luck, ever

than his breadth of grasp on the mar

two more similar notches. 1t was now
