viii Fish sheriff Of Marion,
Ark, accompanied by Farmer
Mitchell andwife and VIM. Joseph
and Lessie Fay, children of Rob
ert Mitchell Of the I'd district,
was in Selmer Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Fish isa native of Harde-
man county. but for a long time
has resided in Arkansas. For a
number Of years he has been
sheriff at Mariops Ark. In q re-
cent editorial of the Commercial
Appeal, Sheriff Fish was congra-
tulated upon being the best law
enforcing officer in the state, and
praised him highly for the man
ner in which he literally cleaned
up the county Of law breakers.
The article also stated that the
mere mention b Fish, strikes
terror to the heart Of the law
breaker. and that this courageous
officer never let up until he sue
ceeded in landing violators of
the laws in jail.

Brothers furnishes a fine object
lesson and a feasible plan for COM
Imunity cooperative effort. They
have made money from the start
and have developed a good local
market for their entire section.
Their success proves that a COM
Hunity organization could be
formed to manufacture the pro-
ducts of the community, or some
progressive farmer could take
the iniative and provide the mar
ket, with profit to himself and
the whole community.
1t would pay any progressive
community to send a committee
to the Stokley Plant, study it and
its development, and see what a
family of energetic, ambitious
boys can do and have done. They
began in a small way, and have
demonstrated to the farmers how
they can double their net profits
on their work. They have simp-
ly employed business methods in
their farm operations, by prepar-
ing their own and the products
of their neighbors for the mar
ket in a shape that it is ready for
the consumer.
One of the explanations of the
small profit Of the average farm
er is the fact that his product in
many instances is dumped on the
market without any preparation
for the immediate needs Of the
|consumer. The manufacturer
develops the marketing or dis
|tribution feature Of his business
as carefully as ttep production end
When farmers learn to do this
| they will find success awaiting
them. They will seldom succeed
Iotherwise.

whose object was to assist local forces
in directing their own efforts.
In decided contrast with the pre-
vious year, only one tornado assumed
the proportions Of major disaster.
This occurred on April 10, in the bor-
der sections of Texas and Arkansas
with the city of Teyarkana as the
center. The significant feature OF this
disaster relief work was the fact that
ii covered so much rural territory as
to make necessary large number OF
relief workers.
The famine in China, necessitating
relief expenditures totalllng more than
81 100000 by THE American Red Cross
was by far the most serious of the
foreign disasters In which the Red

Builds Up Its Machinery
In connection with the administra-
tlon Of disaster relief measures, an in
creasing effectiveness on the part sof
the Red Gross to deal with emergen-
eies was manifested during the past
YEAR. In 32S Chapters Of the Amer'-
can Red Cross there have been formed
special committees to survey the re.
sources of their respective communi-
ties and to be prepared in case of
disaster. In others Of the 3,402 active
Chapters, a network Of communication
has been formed through which instan.
taneous relief may be dispatched to
any part Of the United States.
That its work in this field may be
continued with ever greater effective
ness, the American Red Cross Is APP

Pueblo Most Serious
BY far the most severe of the dis
asters in the United States during the
period covered by the Red Cross re-
port was the Pueblo flood early In
June, 1921. The rehabilitation prob
lem confronting the Red Cross In
Pueblo was one of the most difficult
In recent years. When the first news
of the horror was flashed throughout
the country, the American Red Cross
National Headquarters responded with
1 grant OF 100000 for relief work.
Governor Shoup Of Colorado, appre-
ciating the long and successful expert
ence of the Red Cross in organizing
disaster relief work. placed the en-,
lAt5 t5sEeSpoiSlUlifty 4pit liie auHlulstEu-
ton of relief in its hands.
In response to appeals from Pres.-
dent Harding Governor Shoup ana
other governors of western states and
through local chapters of the Red
Cross and other community organiza-
tions, public spirited citizens brought
the total contributed for Pueblo's re-
habilitation to more than S325000.
The terrible haSae wrought by the
flood waters Is a matter of record.
More than $500 homes were affected
and 1881 persons were left homeless.
Estimates Of $780, 200 as an absolute
minimum FOR rehabilitation were made
by Red Cross officials in charge Of the
relief work.

Marketing To Best Advantage

When they analyze conditions
confronting them at the present
time, farmers realize that they
must adjust themselves and their
work to conform to them. They
see that they cannot continue to
dump their products on the mar
ket in a haphazard way andreal-
ize a living profit from their work.
We know thatW must have
quality, quantity and variety if
we are to get the best prices. 1t
is hard for the individual farmer
to have the quantity, but all can
be had by community co-opera-
tive effort.
The problem that must be solv-
ed is just how to secure that CO.
operative effort. Farmers as a
rule seem less inclined to COM
munity cooperative effort than
any other class, but they are
rapidly coming to be convinced
that such cooperation is the most
practical solution oftheirproblem.
