I once wrote a verse to my days eyebrow.
 It was beautiful, a charming bit of poetic fancy. Everybody admired it.
 Now, five years later, this little poem has grown enormously in value. My lady herself treasures it-a sort of memento, I suppose, because
 She has no eyebrow to speak of WaySide Tales.

Fire Destroys Research
Plant at Mitchell Field
Thirty Patients Removed With
out Injury; Damage Is Esti-
mated at $3OO.OOO

The three frame buildings of the
medical research laboratory at Mitchell
Field, Hampstead, L. L., used during
the war as base hospital, were COM
pletely destroyed by fire which started
at 8 o'clock last night. The thirty pa
tients in the wards were removed be-
fore they were in danger.
The origin of the blaze is not known.
Major Arthur Christie, in command of
the field, directed the rescue work, and
patients unable to wall. were carried
from the buildings on cots. The build
ings were connected by frame run
ways or corridors. The hospital was a
pine structure.
Damage caused by the blaze is esti-
mated at $S00,000. The equipment de-
stroyed was worth more than $3.50 600,
it was said. This includes several X
ray machines, a special aviation medi-
cal machine known as the "rebreathing
machine" and considerable dental
equipment. The discharge records of
ell aviation men mustered out or de-
mobilized at Mitchell Field also were
destroyed. These records can be dupli-
Gated in the Office of the Adjutant Gen
eral of the army at Washington.
The hospital buildings had been COM
pletely wrecked before fremen from
Hampstead, Garden City, Mineola and

Frank Knox, Republican leader in
New Hampshire and publisher of The
Manchester Union, described cooper
alive organization formed by farmers
in his state yesterday to those at the
Saturday discussion at the National
Republican Club and said that it was
the only way in which the farmer could
market his produce proftably.
"The, farmers lack of success to-
day." said Mr.. Knox, dies in present
methods Of sale and distribution. The
farmer holds not 4 fraction of control
over his market. He sells continuously
in buyers market, although his prod
uct is a life necessity, and in New
England is always insufficient to sup
ply the local demand. Nothing can be
clearer than that the farmer must be
provided with selling organization.
He cannot provide himself with it. His
unit of production is too small. The
only way he can provide himself with
the facilities for sale and distribution
is by means of cooperative market
ing association.
In Denmark, where cooperative mar
keting long has been in successful
operation, the Danish farmer receives
50 cents of the consumers dollar. In
the United States the farmer receives.
under. present methods, but 45 cents
cut of the consumers dollar

The American Agriculturist, said that
