AN ANCIENT PEACE
CONFERENCE

There is scriptural authority for the
statement that there is nothing new
under the sun but when President
Wilson proposed the Peace Confer
ence for the warning nations. it was
thought that new plan for insuring
world peace had been discovered.
History records however, that in
1904 there was held in London q
peace conference in which England
and Spain were the two nations in
volvcd and one Of the participants in
that conference was no less person
than our old friend. William Shake
Speare.
King James entertained The con-
ference in his palace and in addition
to paying the commissioners Il salary
they were allowed according to the
historical records gallon Of beer a
day for each man.
Now that America is dry Germany
might offer gallon of beer for each
man and induce congress to send
delegates to peace conference over
there. declaration of peace with
Germany having been adopt I'd.
An incident of the conference was
that Spain got the advantage of Eng
land, robbing that country Cf what
1t had won in war with Spain 1t wa.
evidently case of too muck beer.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
IN SOUTH CAROLINA
First Annual Meeting of Coop
erative Association

The South Carolina Sweet Potato
Association stands for cooperation
in the State.
Every person who thinks on the
problems of the day should be inter
ested in knowing what the Sweet Po-
tato Association has accomplished in
its first year in blazing the trail for
the new era of cooperative market
ing in the state. We want co-opera-
tive marketing to heal the wounds
the farmers have received at the
hands of the present grasping COM
petitive system that thinks only of
private gain and rarely if ever of
public veal.
We naturally look to California for
guidance in cooperative market
ing system venture for the growers
of that state were driven to bank
ruptcy by the system of outright sale
to speculative buyers that prevailed
in the early SOS" Then consign-
ment upon commission basis that fol-
lowed in the late "SO's." and up to
1898, only deepened the gloom. Only
with the formation of the co-opera-
tive marketing organization in 1898
did light begin to break. In 1895 the
Southern California Fruit Exchange
was incorporated and from this time
on cooperative marketing has gone
on from one victory to another until
today we know it is right in principle.
Cooperation protected the grower,
it reduced the cost of marketing, it
standardized the product, it increas-
ed the demand, it eliminated losss
from bad debts, it cut down transpor-
tation losses, and all these things
made money for the grower and in
| cldentally made the state of Cali
fornia famous and wealthy.
The South Carolina Sweet Potato
| Association has operated one season
and it is worth while to learn what it
has accomplished and how it faces
the future.
The Association from it's expert
| ence this year has laid some founda-
| ton stones on which to erect a sue
cessful business. 1t is sure that only
the best grade of potatoes should be
| stored for it costs as much to handle
transport and market poor stock as
it does to handle prime quality. The
| returns from poor stock are less and
it does not build up the business.
Don't attempt to store potatoes
| dug after the killing frost. One
prominent member of the Associa-
ton recommends mailing up the doors
of curing house so the good hearted
manager cannot store just a few
crates more. In this connection it is

Chalk up one for the natives of nor
thern India when it comes to flashes
of inventive genius, for they are US
ing weather-proof bags in which auto
mobile tubes are packed, for every
purpose from carrying waite: to nif-
ty head coverings.
D. H. Harper, representative of
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Com
pany, declares that dusky chauffeurs
use the bags for carrying water while
filling radiators on the road, while it
is a common sight to see rice-filled
tube bags in the hands of natives
Perhaps the most unique use to
which they are put is as caps while
working in the shops.
Harper sees the time approaching
when the native Indian women will be
using them as vanity cases despite
the words, "heavy tourists" lettered
prominently on the sides.
Girls will be girls, race, color or
geographical location notwithstand-
ing.

unfortunate the work of Professor
Starcher of Auburn, Ala, on the
subject of storing potatoes dug
freeze has not been given greater
publicity, for his work when carefully
studied means cutting down losses in
the curing house.
There is a suggestion in the report
the Association has not had much
money to use, and has not had the
confidence of some interests. In this
connection it must not be forgotten
the true cooperative. association
handling members accounts does not
have a big bank account, and the
history of the California cooperators
| repeatedly mention the lack of con-
fidence on the part of bankers and
business men, and in some instances
| active antagoniSm.
When the Association was formed
it asked all the curing houses in tn
State to join in the marketing. For
some reason the response was disap-
pointing for only fifteen houses mar
keted through the Association, while
| there are over one hundred houses in
the state.
The Association sold it's potatoes
air bran. it did lot own or con-
troll and in this way lost one year of
good advertising. 1t is to be hoped
the product of South Carolina can be
handled in manner to bring renown
to the state and attractive returns to
| growers.
The attitude of the railroads in
making rates for sweet potatoes has
not been satisfactory, and this doubt
less due to lack of clear understand
ing that the interests of the grower
and railroad are identical.
The Association broke new ground
in the matter of adopting contract
forms to be used in handling the 1921
crop. There is contract between
grower and curing house and one be-
tween curing house and Association.
The legislation necessary for the
working of the Association was look.
ed after by Senators Christensen and
Kennedy.
| The subject of the purchase for use
| the coming season has been carefully
studied and the Association will un-
dertake the purchase as the agent of
the curing houses.
| Some members have balked at
pooling grades but it is Incompetent
sible how to operate a cooperative
marketing association without pools.
1t may be the pools should run for a
shorter period and this point will be
studied.
| A word as to the future. During
the past year the Association aimed
at operating under modified Cali
fornia plan and it's officers believe the
sweet potato industry can be success
| full only by full cooperation of the
growers through the local curing
houses and these in turn through the

State Association. Success will only
be assured when the pure California
system is adopted and used, no modi-
fications will do the work the grower
wants done.
The Association has received the
loyal support of the S. c. Develop
ment Board, which looks upon the AS
sociation as favorite child, the Ex-
tension Service of Clemson College,
the Agricultural Commissioners Of
the railroads. Great praise is due
those men who had the courage to
start the cooperative ball rolling by

SPECIAL APPEAL TO THE
MINISTERS OF ALL CHURCHES

The Journal Of the National Edu-
cation Association, which is distribut-
ed throughout the United States, pub.
fishes statistics, derived from the Uni
ted States Bureau of Education for
1918, showing, as compared with all
other States in the Union:
L. That South Carolina has the
smallest number of citizens who car
read, with the single exception of
Louisiana.
2. That South Carolina spends the
smallest amount per capita for the
education of the children in public
schools.
3. That South Carolina has its pub
lie schools in operation the smallest
number of days in the year-11O.
a. That South Carolina has the
smallest percentage of boys and girls
| attending high schools-2.2 per cent
5. That South Carolina mas the
smallest number of free public Ii
braries-1.9 per cent.
6. That in all educational lines
South Carolina averages the lowest
in the country-occupies the d8th
place.
Thus is our beloved State advertis-
ed to the entire world.
If this condition is not true, we
ought to prove it; if it is true, we
ought to correct it.
The churches are doing great
things in higher education; let them
also rally to the improvement of the
public schools, which make rhe col
leges and universities possible.
The Baptist State Convention last
winter took the lead and memorializ-
ed the Legislature to make larger ap-
preparations to the public schools.
Let all the churches cooperate,
and do it now
We ask every member If every
denomination in South Carolina to
read the following invitation to his
congregation and urge them to ac-
cept it:

IL, 1921, the following resolution
was adopted:
eve, the citizens of Spartanburg,
profoundly impressed by tie made
quate facilities provided by our pres
ent public school system for the boys
and girls of South Carolina, realizing
the low position in popular educetion
we occupy as compared with other
States in the Union, and believing
that this condition can be remedied
only by united effort on The part of
all the citizens Of our commonwealth
hereby invite the people of South
Carolina to meet in Spartanburg on
July 15 for the purpose of organiz-
ing a statewide Citizens Education
Il Association to devise and execute
plans for arousing public sentiment

YOUR TOWN

If you want to live in the kind of j
town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a
grip
And start on long, long hike:
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really
new;
It's knock at yourself when knock
your town.
It isn't your town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebdy else gets ahead;
When every one works and nobody
shirks
You can raise a town from the
dead;
And, if while you make your per-
sonal stake
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to
see,
1t isn't your town-its you.
