COOPERATIVE MARKETING

Columbia, Dec. 5.-Cooperative
marketing of cotton was indorsed by
+he executive council Of the South
Carolina Bankers association and by
the agricultural committee of the
same organization this week. ~
A special meeting of the executive
council was held in Columbia Tuesday
and in addition to the ten members
Of the council there were twenty-five
or thirty others representative bank
ers from over the State present.
The following resoltion was unani
NJ usly adopted by the council:
Realizing that the formation of
Statewide cotton cooperative market
ing association will tend to eliminate
many Of the evils which now surround
the market Of our principal crop such
as country damage, undergrading and
the dumping of great portion of the
crop On the market in the fall months
and will result in a stablizatior, Of the
market and insure the farmer Of the
fact that his cotton will be warehous-
cd, graded, stapled and sold at the
best possible figure:
THE refore, be it resolved: That We,
the members Of the executiv commit
tee Of the South Carolina Bankers as
sociation, do hereby indorse the, move
ment for the formation Of the South
Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative
associations; That we urge every farm
er to sign the contract and that we
urge the bankers, merchants and busi-
ness men of the State to assist in the
campaign for the necessary number Of
signatures to make the contract oper-
ative."
This afternoon A. W. Mclean, OF
the war finance corporation, in ad-
dressing the bankers, strongly COM
mended the formation of cotton CO.
operative marketing association. He
told them that the corporation had
made loans to the Texas association
approximating s15,Ooo,o00, and want
ed to lend more, but that the BIZ
banks had gone after the business.
The council decided to hold group
,,aatinpS oyer tho State to Dresent th..
Importance of the banks securing
money from the war finance corpora
ton and at each Of these meetings q
representative of the South Carolina
Cotton Growers Cooperation associa
tion will present TIE importance OF

THE WOMAN'S NIGHT OFF

Every farm woman should have at
least one evening a week to do with rs
she pleases and to escape from FAM
lily cares. John should stay with the
babies, and you should have the use
of the car or of the horse and buggy
to go to sewing club or maybe just
over to see Sara Jenkins. This one
evening should be aside from the time
when you and John take the children
to a movie or to the communicating
it should be an evening of absolute
freedom. and if you'll tell John what
you want with just the right amount
of coaxing. and perhaps kiss (yes
a kiss, Of course) he'll be perfectly
willing to give you a might off. -

An old preacher used to say that 4

three things. First, she should be
like a snail, always keep within her
house; but she should not, like
snail, carry all she has on her back.
Secondly, she should be like an
echo, to speak when she is spoken
to; but she should not, like an echo.

INDIANS TO APPEAL TO KING
Delegates From Six Nations Represent
One Of Oldest confsderaciss In
the World.

The delegates from the Six Nations
who are to make personal appeal to
King George In respect Of their ancient
rights represent one Of the oldest and
most famous confederacies In the
world, certainly the most famous In
the history Of Savage" nations.
The Five Nations confederacy, the
eastern branch of the IroquOis, goes
back before the discovery by Column
bus. 1t was strengthened In 1712 by
the admission of the Tuscaroras from
North Carolina, and consisted then Of
the Mohawks, Oneidas, Cayugas, Onon-
dagas and Senecas, with the Tusca-
roras.
The Treaty Of Utrecht had declared
the Five Nations to be British sub
jects, and In the long struggle between
France and England In America the
British government based its claim to
large tracts of country sometimes on
the ground Of the so-called subsection
of the Five Nations, sometimes on the
ground of treaties made with them. BY
the middle Of the Eighteenth century
an orator Of the Five Nations declared
In conference: 1--WE don't know what
you Christians, English and French,
intend. We are so hemmed In by you
both that we have hardly a hunting
place left. In little while, II we find
a bear In tree, there will immediate
ly appear an owner Of the land to claim
the property. We are so perplexed be-
tween you that we hardly know what
to say or think"

To Give Timber "a Shot,

I The best method Of applying pre-
servatives to timber Is by the pressure
process which is used by practically
all large commercial companies, says
the American Forestry Magazine Of
Washington. By this means the oil
or mineral salt is forced deeply into
the tissues Of the wood, thus giving a
thoroughness and permanence not
otherwise attainable. There are va
rious processes, but all use large and
expensive apparatus by which vacuums
and heavy pressure may be applied In
large treating cylinders, which are
usually six feet or more In diameter
and a hundred feet or more In length.

Much Timber Decay.

1t is estimated that eight billion
feet of untreated structural timbers
decay every year, says the American
Forestry Association Of Washington.
II that whole amount were to be treat
ed we would actually save about four
billion feet Of lumber every year. That
Is to say, 1t would render unnecessary
the annual deforestation Of some four
hundred thousand acres Of land. There
could be no truer or more effective
forest conservation, and every home
builder who. by the use Of preserva.
lives. lengthens the life Of his house
or barn. performs an effective service
10 the cause Of forestry.
