The members of the Junior Order
United American Mechanics held
their annual banquet at the Dixie
Highway Hotel Friday night. On this

What the California Idea" Is

"The California idea" which ha:
now been indorsed by farmers in al
parts of the South is the best form
of cooperative marketing.
And what is the california idea?'
1t is so simple that it is positively
amazing that we have not long age
seized this weapon for our deliver.
ance.
"The California idea" in it's essen.
tials means that the farmers growing
any particular kind of product OF
commodity shall organize, not simply
by isolated neighborhoods, communi-
ties, or counties, for marketing their
product, but that farmers in whole
states and groups of states shall sign
an agreement to market their product
together and hire the best selling
talent in the country to act for them
in selling it.
Such an organization saves to the
farmers the enormous amount hereto
fore accumulated by unnecessary
middlemen. 1t enables the farmers to
control a large enough volume of
products to give them voice in fix
ing their price. 1t puts them in po-
sition to get the best marketing in
formato in the world and to know
when they ought to sell and when
they ought to hold-and to hold in
such quantities as to get results. 1t
puts them in a position where the
selling organization can take the
warehouse receipts and furnish mon
ey to the weak farmers or tenants
who, under present conditions, can
not hold, but must dump their crops
on a depressed market and thereby
force down prices FOR everybody else.
See fuller explanation in recent is
sues of The Progressive Farmer.
This plan has now been adopted
by farmers in all parts of the South
and they are fast getting ready to
avail themselves of it's advantages.

Public Spirited Men Respond,

Several citizens, among them be-
ing Messrs. w. E. QUITS, j. E. Minis
and ]. A. Zimmerman, became inter-
ested in improving the condition of
Columbia street and made call to
persons residing in that section of
the town and adjacent country dis
tricts who travel that street coming
into town to assist in sanding the
heavy red clay. The response to the
call was general and very generous.
MIR. j. G. Holland donated the sand,
it being hauled from portion of
his Griffin place. All it has cost the
town was the comparatively small
sum of paying the drivers of the
teams. Up to this time the improve
ment has reached the station and
work will continue until the public
square is reached. A heavy coat of
sand is being spread over the clay
which will finally make the surface
hard and smoothe, hundreds of loads
of sand being used.
The following have contributed
teams: w. E. QUITS, j. E. Minis, ].

Cows Tail Torn of

Fred School rents a pasture just
south of the hospital and he has a
herd of thoroughbred Short Horn
cattle there, among which is young
COW. This COW is a nice specimen
and recently cost Mr.. School $3.50.
When he went to the pasture one
day last week he found that the
animals tail had been torn off so
that about six inches of the bone
protruded. How it happened he is
unable to tell. There are a lot of
boys who make practice of playing
in the pasture and they are usually
followed by dogs. Fred don't want
to think human beings would do such
a thing as this so he lays it on
the dogs, but whose dog did it is the
next question. To make sure that it
will not happen again, Mr.. School
threatens to shoot every dog he
catches in the pasture.-Waverly

NUDE KNEE BARRED BY MA
son CITY NOW
Police Women Stops Girls of More
Than Nine.

Mason City, Iowa-The nude knee
must go in Mason City.
Mrs. Anna Merrincourt, police
matron, says so. She has declared
war on it.
No matter if edicts from fashion
dictators in Paris or any other place
are issued proclaiming the naked
feminine knee the correct style, it
must not be shown in Mason City,
IN public.
Extremes in dress may be toer-
ated and endured, but when it come;
to the barred patella the matron will
draw the line and stand pat.
No, Mrs. Merrincourt does not want
to make a Zion City of Mason City,
but she is of the opinion that mat
tiers may go far--or not far enough
in the direction of dress.
81 believe that girls who are
years or older should be forbidden
to show their bare knees. This fad
of rolling the stockings is one of the
worst things that ever happened
when it comes to modesty in dress
the policewoman stated today.
Her attitude regarding the new
mode for the abolition of the garter
was not arrived at without due con-
sideration, she says. For months her

that deals with the Gardner Nursery
