WHATISTHEFARM BUREAU

Cessity, if this farm product is to be
profltably marketed. A cooperative
marketing organization of this kind
would require all the machinery OF
storage, financing, processing and
selling as peanuts are extensively
raised in other states if competition
between growers IS to be prevented
then it at once becomes necessary
to have a commodity organization
of the peanut growers covering all
states producing peanuts. A matt
ional organization of peanut grow
ers would at once involve the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation,
with its various departments of leg
islation, cooperative marketing,
transportation, statistics, etc. China
is sending vast quantities of pea
nuts TO this country that compete
with our growers. 1t might be well
to prevent this by enacting a pro-
tcctivc tariff. The American Farm
Bureau Federation would not only
be necessary in a case of this kind,
but would be a necessity IN QIeS-
tiOns involving freight rates, freight
classification, proper routing, mar.
ket information as to supply and
demand, world trend of consumption
and foreign ability to buy informa-
ton beyond the reach of the indi-
vidual, county or state organization.
Information of this kind leading to
successful craftsmanship is a matter
than the individual farmer knows
nothing about and is not financially
able to ascertain.
What the farm bureau can do for
peanuts it can do for any other farm
product It's possibilities are unlim-
tied. To not live uu to these posi-
bilities is to admit that the farmer
lacks the brains and ability of the
middleman. What red blooded far
mer will admit this?
The farm bureau if made use of
will enable the farmer to regain pos
session of the marketing of his prod
ucts, one Of his most valuable assets.
This act of the farmer has become
the treasured possession of the mid
dleman. who has worked it to such
good purpose that he is able through
its use to divert the lions share of
the consumers dollar into his own
pockets. Until the farmer sees fit
to resume possession. of this part of
business he has no right to complain
of the middleman. He can regain
this possession only through a great
cooperative farmers business organ
cation, which will do for him what
the middleman now does. The mid
dleman has invested vast sums of
money in building warehouses, or
ganizing finances, standardizing and
processing farm products and in
building up great selling agencies.

AFLANTA'SBALL
FRANCHISE SOLD
r. ]. SpilIer Acquires
Control-Gives Frank
Full Rein

ATLANTA, May 1.-THE Allan
ia Baseball Association, Inc. which
operates the Atlanta franchise II
the Southern League, is no longer
the property of Charley Frank and
his associates. Ownership of the ma
iority of the stock during the past
month passed into the hands of K. }.
Spiller, owner of the refreshment
concession at Ponce de Leon ball
park. The change in ownership IS
said to have been without the knoWI-
edge and against the desires of the
minority stockholders, a group of
Atlanta business men consisting OF
Frank Reynolds, Tom MeadOr c. V.
Rainmater and Charley Murphy
Mr.. Spiller admitted the truth OF
reports Of the sale Tuesday lie de-
clared, however, that there would be
no change in policy except that
Charley Frank would be given free
rein as manager and everything pos
sible would be done to give Atlanta
a winning ball club this season and
every Season while he is connected
with the association.
Frank, having sold his interests in
the club, was rendered a five-year
contract as manager, which he sign
ed.
Frank has been given complete
control of the baseball club" said
Mr.. Spiller. 1--WE have the utmost
confidence in his ability and he has
been given carte blanche as to ex-
penditure of money for ball players
and for salaries. We expect to
have the Crackers up at the front
fighting for the pennant all year.
81 bought majority of the stock
purely asa business investment, but
! have been intimately acquainted
with Atlanta baseball for years and
know that the investment will not
be a good one unless the Atlanta
fans are given the very best baseball
that money can buy for minor league
patronage. That is what they are 60
ing to get We have plans for imme-
diate improvements in the grounds
which we will announce shortly. -

ARTICLE ".


The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton IS to agriculture what the
Chamber of Commerce Is to the bus
mess world. 1t might well be called
the American Chamber of Agricul-
ture. Its function IS to study and
solve those problems of the farm
that cannot be solved by the individ-
ual farmer, or by relatively small
groups of farmers. Business has its
special organization to take up and
solve the problems of the particular
kind of business which that special
organization represents. This special
organization Is a part of the bigger
thing known as the United States
Chamber of Commerce, which in fact
represents and is formed of various
business associations for the purpose
of bringing to bear, the combined
power of all for the benefit of all
or for the benefit Of one of its con-
stltuent members.
So it is with the American Farm
Bureau Federation. 1t is composed
of federation Of state chambers of
agriculture or state farm bureaus,
for the purpose of assisting all or
any one of them in the solution of
problems which they unassisted are
not able to solve.
Likewise the state farm bureau is
composed of the smaller county bu-
reaus, to help solve the county prob
lens common to all or to any one of
them which unaided they are unable
to solve.
This is no less true of the county
bureau, which is a federation of
community councils, to which IS re-
ferred for solution, those problems
which are county wide or which can
only be solved by bringing to bear
the combined strength of all the
communities.
Thus problem might originate
in the community that would uti-
mately require the services of all
these bureaus. AS an illustration,
take the marketing of the peanut
crop. A market for this crop might
be found by feeding to animals on
the farm. These animals might be
secured from members of the local
community council, or from mem
bers Of other community councils of
the county farm bureau. It might
be necessary to go outside the coun-
ty and get them from other county
farm bureau members or THROUGH a
Farm Bureau Exchange from Farm
Bureau in other states.
Where generally crown in a coun-
ty the market might be found in
supplying them to confectioners or
to families in states where not
grown. If generally grown in the
state the organization Of a peanut
growers association becomes a ne

BEER AND WINE TAX FOR
 BONUS IS CONSIDERED

Washington, Dec. 21.-Feasibility of raising funds for soldiers bonus by tax on beer and light wine will be considered by the House ways and means committee, Chairman Fordney announced today, after the Christmas recess, when the committee takes up the adjusted compensation question, particularly the phase relating to the raising of revenue to finance it.
 The possibility of tax on beverages with small alcoholic content will be looked into, Mir. Fordney said, to de- termine whether it would be advis- able, and constitutional to lift the prohibition ban sufficiently to permit their sale.
 Mir. Fordney conferred today with Secretary Mellon, but said later the bonus question had not been dis cus5et.
 Other suggestions put forth by members of the House for financing a bonus include a variety of sales tax on different commodities and different class of manufacturers and business men.

RUSH BRITAIN TROOPS TO EGYPT
British Bluejackets Arrive in Cairo to Check DisOrders-Twelve Dead as Result of Rioting-Native Lead
 CTS Fate in Doubt.

Cairo, Egypt, Dec. 25.-- Bluejackets arrived in Cairo last night in connec- tion with the rioting which has been going on for several days. It is re- ported that flotilla of armed Nile boats, officered and manned by men of the royal navy, will proceed to up- per Egypt within the next few days.
 Reports received here from Port Said says that mobs broke thru the police cordon there and penetrated in- to the European quarter, but that the British military intervened and quick ly restored order
 It is understood that the military has assumed control of Port Said.
 Riots in Several Places.
 Disturbances were reported today from various parts of Egypt, but the police and military were said to be handling the situation effectively. The martial law order notifies the public that disorders and rioting and the de- struction of property will be rigorous ly suppressed by the military, who are ordered to shoot when necessary.
 The total number of dead reported in Cairo up to last night as a result of the disturbances was twelve There were minor disturbances in the native quarter this morning, but the military was in control.
 A Man of Mystery" Slain.
 Among those who were killed last night was a man known as Prof. Jean Orth," well known figure in Cairo. He contended that he was an Austrian archduke, whose mysterious disap- pearance was chronicled several years ago. Orth, while proceeding to his humble lodgings, was stabbed several times in the back. All the other per sons killed were natives. There ap- parently were no casualties among the military.
 The students of the Azhar univer- sity have declared an indefinite strike.
 Minor disturbances, which the police took control of, occurred today at Damanhur and Beni Souef, in southA ern Egypt. The fact that the tele- graphs, telephones and the railways are working normally indicates that favorable situation prevails in the provinces.
 Native Leaders Fate in Doubt.
 1t is understood the authorities have decided on the ultimate disposition of Said Zagloul Pasha, one of the na- tionalist leaders, and five of his fol- lowers, but their decision had not been announced
 Madame Zagloul was informed by the authorities that she might join her husband. She replied, however, that it was her intention to take his place in Egypt; that he was the father of the people and that she would become the mother of the people.

But today the country is full of agi- tators, making their living with their jaws, who are preaching that the world owes every man living and that all a man has to do is to go and take it from somebody who has plenty. But what will hapen when the few who have plenty are drained to the dregsz Cannibalism, we sup pose.
