BEGIN TOY WORK
IN ALL SCHOOLS
Pupils Fashion Many Unique De-
signs-Put Products on
Exhibition.

Toy making in the manual train
ing departments of the Rock Is
land public schools is now in full
swing in preparation for Christmas.
The simple toys of many designs,
products of the originality OF the
workers, bring joy to their little
brothers and sisters each year and
each lad is putting his whole heart
and soul into the work.
Some are mechanical toys, which
jump or kick by pulling a string
or rocking a weight, and others
are miniature duplicates of house
hold furniture and pfaythings.
In making the toys the youthful
architects like the things that are
familiar in daily life. The majority
of the boys paint their toys in the
bright colors that attract attention
The favorite shade is usually red
with yellow running a close second.
The girls who possess a more
artistic sense usually decorate the
toys in the art department and
select the shades of pink and
blue. Plans are being made to have
an exhibit of the toys during the
week preceding the close of school
for the Christmas vacation.

Will Make The Department
Of Real Service 10 All.

of the State, 7. +. Peck. the
new Commissioner Of Agriculture
who amused their duties last
Wednesday, outlined the aims OF
his department as follows:
In again assuming the duties
of commissions of Agricult ure
| want to thank YOU for the kind
expressions you have voiced con-
ceriug nv former work. Iprom-
Use you that | will do all in my
power to make the department

intend to infringe on the work
OF others agencies for better
agriculture. but pro mise to CO.
operate and encourage every
good movement. We want to
avoid duplication and to CORE.
late our work so that maximum
efficiency can be attained.
Il wanted the legislature to make
provision for market bureau
but it failed to do so. However.
the department will do every
thing possible to improve mark
citing conditions. Farmers gen.
orally are marketing their pro-
ducts at disadvantage by sell
ing in small quantities, inditfer-
amen in grading products, want |
of informity of proucts, and lack
of knowledge to market condi-
tions. We should have COM
munity cooperative effort in
both production and marketing
and by such co operation we can
have quantity and quality of pro-
duct that will glaze US in posi-
tion to 'merchandie" our pro-
ducts instead of dumping them
on the market haphazard. If
the forces working for better
agricultural conditions would
unite in a campaign for COM
munity cooperation in every
county, then blend the COM
munity uniteS of a county into
a county council of agriculture,
also each community unit select
one member whose duty it
should be to keep record of the
quantity of products in that CON-
munity for marker reporting reg
ulalry to the market agent of
the county COUNCILS of agricul-
ture, and they in turn reporting
to the state marketing agent
whose duty it would be to keep
in touch with prices and market
demands and position to supply
promptly the quantity and quail
ity desired. In this way each far
mers would be assured of full
market value for his product
at less expense to the indi-
vidual. The product would go
more direct from producer to
and with decided !
saving to both. have outlined /
what believe is the most
feasible and practical plan for
farmers solving their marketing
problem.

community cooperative effort

readily do so when they can

can produce to meet those de

now doing. We are having

more cabbage and fruits than

The successful business merch-
ant is successful because he

the same business view of their
production instead of keeping in |

" Every agency of the Deprat-
ment of Agriculture is at the
command of the farmers to help
them produce what the market
demands and to merchandise"
their products instead of simply
