twenty-four hours discussion was
adopted al noon Tuesday with only
minor changes. It provides for ma
tional selling agency to be conducted
by board Of trustees consisting of
one, trustee from every member as
sociation, with an additional trustee
for every 100000 bales Of major
fraction thereof in the member ssso-
ciation's control. The national agency
has the right to sell under the terms
of the agency contract the cotton of
the member association, but each as
sociation, is reserved the right to
make Independent sales on it's ac-
count. However, the terms of the
agreement are 80 devised that it is
not likely that any direct selling will
be done by member associations ex-
cept in case of an emergency.
The national agency, besides main
tanning general office, probably in
Dallas, Texas, will have branch offices
for selling, financing, statistical and
other purposes, not only throughout
the cotton belt, but in all the import
ant cotton market producing regions
and financial centers of the world.
Selling System.
The selling system Of the agency
in relation to member associations
will bear much resemblance to the
system of the associations themselves
toward their member growers in that
it will work through the formation of
separate pools for all cotton, Of the
same. season of absolutely identical
grade, staple and character, each as
sociation receiving a percentage Of
the proceeds of each entire pool in
proportion to the percentage Of cot
ton it has put into it. A different
pool will be created for every differ
ent kind of cotton, no matter how
small the difference so long as it is
real, which for any reason has a diff
ferent commercial use and value in
general.
The sales department will be divid-
ed into two groups, which include
executive and administrative, office
management, grading and standard
izing, warehousing, insurance, trans
portation, finance, statistical, sales,
legal and field service.
If the State associations, already
forming, are completely successful in
their organization they will represent
by 1922 a minimum Of about 3,000,-
600 bales if the experience Of the
Oklahoma group in signing 100000
on a minimum requirement Of 300,-
600 bales is repeated elsewhere.
Another million will by then be in
the hands of the proposed agency
federation. Eventually it is the hope
of leaders of the movement to bring
under the cooperative marketing
system, in which every dollar except
the actual expense of operation is re-
turned. to the grower, a majority of
the entire American cotton crop and
possibly parts of the foreign crop.

Parent-Teacher
Meeting Yesterday

-" There was slight decrease in the
attendance at the meeting of the
Parent-Teacher association attributa-
BILE to the numerous parties about and
probably in some slight degree to the
Spring Fever. Half q hundred or more
faithful supporters were on hand
though and the entertainment fur
nished by the expression class taught
by Miss Mia Kilgore was one OF the
best of the whole session. Particular
effective was the crying baby recita-
ton by little Miss Mona Tut, who
has a wonderful talent for dramatic
work. When she appeared crying on
the stage yesterday some Of the par
ents present actually thought the lit
tie girl had been hurt and was sure
enough crying.
Miss Josephine Barnwell gave an
excellent rendition also and Miss
Mary Shaw Gillian is always very
good. The Indian War Dance in cos
tune added quite a bit of color and
liveliness to the program. Miss Kill
gore was the recipient of many hear
ty congratulations on the exhibition
which her pupils gave.
The president, Mrs R. c. Philson,
was unavoidably absent as was Supt.
J. D. Fulp, who was in conference
with one of the architects at work on
preliminary plans for the new high
school. so Prof. J. Met. Daniel hand
led tho eayel with all the dignity and
soberness of Thomas Marshall, him
self. ......
!, Following the exhibition by the
expression class reports were heard
from the treasurer, several standing
committees, and special committees.
The treasurer's report was particular
ly encouraging showing the associa-
tion to be on sound financial basis
and Mrs. Gilliam's report on improve
ment Of the school grounds showed
hat much good work had been done
by this working committee toward
identifying the graded school grounds
The flower beds in front of the build

mos, cannas, asters and such to

New Building.
Prof. Daniel went into details in
his description of the proposed plans
for the new high school building and
every lady present appeared vitality
Interested in the material progress
which the schools are making. From
information gathered from the rep
resentative ladies present one would
oe forced to admit that the Parent
Teacher association is not going to
stop until all the children from first
grade to eleventh, are well housed in
modern school buildings where only
the best scientific advantages are to
,e found.
Award of Pictures.
The eleventh grade in the high
school was entitled to the prize pic
lure offered for that school except
for the absence of the teacher so the
picture was awarded to the next high
est which was Miss Lown's section
with percentage of rs. Miss Ander-
sons section in the graded school
had a percentage of 20 but the
:eacher was absent hence the picture
went to Miss Coan's section for the
second consecutive time. Miss Coan's
percentage was 20 with Miss Kilgore
1ext with 16 per cent.

the sight.
The booze was in a fruit growers
express car and is said to have been
consigned from Deerfield, Fla, to Co
Iumbus, o., as grapefruit. A few box
es of grapefruit had been piled in
front of the doors on each side and
the interior of the car filled with cas-
es of Old Irish whiskey and Gordon
gin.
For some reason the car came IN
to New Smyrna with bad order card
tackled on it and was cut out of the
through train and set on the repair
track. 1t is said to have been opened
by car repairer to ascertain if the
contents had been damaged, when
the liquor was discovered. This fact
was tipped off to the chief of police,
who Immediately took charge of the
car and had it unloaded. Trucks
were pressed into service to haul the
liquor to the city jail

ginal cases, the bottles being thrown
onto the huge bonfire They broke
as they fell and the liquid burned as
if it had been so much gasoline.
