later meeting.
The ACCESSIBILITY of afiliating with the
maple sugar mems organization in New
York was discussed and it brought out a
statement from one producer that some of
the farmers in the state did not make
enough out of their 1921 crop to pay for
the hired help.
The sentiment was expressed by some
that the producer who has a market at a
good price for all his crops. or at least
for all of the best sugar produced, would
hesitate to pool his products with others
J. +. LANCER, an expert on cooperative
marketing associations, described what is
known as the SapirO plan of marketing
products, CHASING sugar products with
'raisins and prunes which are proceSSed be-

with perishable products of the farm.

time.

PRESS COMMENT
Something To Be Proud Of

While the Pensacola shipbuilding
plant is located at Pensacola, it is
essentially an institution of the bridge
that is being constructed by this con-
Germ to span the Black water river
here, leaves no doubt but that this
west Florida institution Is turning out
a bridge that is equal to any put out
by any bridge company in the United
States, and evidently at a price below
that Of other concerns since they were
the low bidders when the contract was
let for constructing this bridge. With
an institution in our own state capable
of turning out work of this kind and
magnitude. the. state, as a whole, as
well as neighboring states should be
freed from the handicap that has been
imposed in time past by inability to get
work done to the long haul of the fin
ished product. The Pensacola ship
building plant, Is, indeed one Of the
institutions of which the entire state
in general and west Florida IN par
ticular should take real pride.-MiIton

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
"MooN COMES DOWN"
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Upon hearing a strange voice say
that the moon was leaning against an
old stump on the ground. the two cir
Gus monkeys slid down the cocoanut
tree like firemen down a creased pole
If the moon was anywhere round, they
didn't want to miss it.
Where is it? Where is the moon?'
they asked.
Here! Here!" answered the mys-
terious voice. Down at your feet"
Now Flippety-Flap had been very
busy. and so had Nancy and Nick
upon their arrival at the place where
the circus monkeys lived.
First, the fairyman took out the
large round mirror he had brought in
one of his great shoes and out of the
other shoe he took the rice they had
brought from China. After that he
made a small hole in the ends Of two
cocoanuts and filled them with the
rice. The cocoanuts he then hid.
Next the three travellers hid them
selves behind the mirror and had just
got settled when the monkeys came
sliding down the tree. ..
Here's the MOON called Flippety-
Flap.
Mr.. and Mrs. Monkey. particularly
Mrs. Monkey, gave a cry ofyjoy when
they saw it. "oh. you dear lmoon!"
