At the national agricultural confer
ence held in Washington last January
the committee report on cooperative
marketing strongly endorsed and rec
ommended the cooperative marketing
of farm products, pointing out that
cas- a factor in marketing it eliminates
unnecessary cost, undue speculation
and waste involved in assembling,
grading, handling, storing, distribut-
ing and marketing of farm products
so the products may be distributed at
prices which are fair and reasonable
both to the producers and the con-
sumers."

EIGHT YEARS AGO

Nov. 9, 1914.-Few battles in the
history OF the world have contained
the tragic and extraordinary features
which have marked the fighting in
dense fog in northwestern France and
western Belgium. The troops have
been lost in midday darkness, stumb-
ling into the enemy ranks, have charg-
ed with fixed bayonets on fellow SOL
diers, and in both armies volleys have
been fired by the men on their friends
Russians are again on the offensive
on the eastern front. The number of
their massed troops is immense, and
they are steadily driving the Aus
TRANS back.
Cossacks from the Caucasus are
striking down into Armenia, driving
the Turkish cavalry, mostly composed
of Kurds, wherever they meet them.

A FAMOUS VICTORY

Truly the democrats won a great
victory in Tuesdays election. They
did not reverse the landslide of 1920,
but they made a considerable land
slide of their own.
They defeated the republicans in
President Harding's own state and
own town; they have again cemented
the Solid South; they have captured
the great state of New York; they
have gained four seats in the Senate
and probably forty in the House. Bay
ard has defeated DUPONT for the Sen
ate in Delaware. Edwards is elected
over Frelinghuysen in New Jersey.
Copeland will succeed Calder from
New York. The great Beverage has
been vanquished by Ralston in Indi-
ana. In Massachusetts,, Lodge has
escaped defeat by less than the width
of his whiskers. In Washington state,
| Dill is about to succeed PointdeXter.
In Michigan, Ferris is chasing Town
send close. Mondell, republican floor
| leader in the House, wants to go to
the Senate, but may fail to overcome
Senator Kendrick. The brilliant Kel-
logg may be defeated in Minnesota
by Shipstead, the farmer-labor candi-
date. In Montana, Burton Wheeler
democrat, is leading Riddick, republi.
can Republican wrecks are scattered
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The latest dispatches give the de.
mocrats POS votes in the House, anC
this narrow margin for the republi
cans will insure the country from
much vicious legislation.
Various reasons are given for this
great reversal of public opinion, but
the real one is not hard to find. The
Republicans from the president dowr
have been great disappointment
Their policy has been of the slide
easy, slippery variety The people
want policy of vigor and directness
1t is the work of the democratic part!
in the next two years to find new
mana young, strong man, wh'
shows indications of the ability ant
bravery to defy all factions. Will
such a man as presidential candidate
the party can win in 1924.

dollars are wasted annually by our
merchants and other business houses
in advertising schemes whose only
virtue lies in the fact that the pro-
motors are getting a lot of easy mon
ely. AS real advertising many Of
these schemes are absolutely worth
less. A committee of the Chamber of
Commerce or some other plan for
censoring these schemes would be one
means of keeping these grafters from
reaping their annual toll from legiti-
mate channels of business. Any
scheme that is worthy need not fear
the censors.

Marion county is planting orange
groves again. 1t used to be famous
for it's fine oranges, but the "big
freeze" put it out of business in that
line, and it turned it's attention in
other directions and became known
as a first class farming country. Now
il is going into fruit growing again.
Success to it.-Tampa Times.
For heavensake! What's the matter
with the Times? Marion has been
ore of the foremost agricultural coun-
ties in Florida for seventy-five years
and so far from the "big freeze" put
ting it's orange groves out of business,
the county was shipping oranges the
next year, and has been shipping them
ever since. There are at least thirty
thousand acres of orange grove in
Marion county, and the crop last year
far exceeded four hundred thousand
boxes. Sixty-eight thousand boxes
were shipped from Citra alone. Wake
up, Friend Times, and get acquainted
with your neighbors.

The Ocala Star thinks the fact that
all the state institutions are in north
Florida is no argument for state divis-

that the pie counter appealed to the
Herald more strongly than patriotism.

1921 CROP VALUES
SHOW BIG DECREASE
CORN AND HAY WERE THE
YEARS ONLY MILLION
DOLLAR CROPS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The i'm
portant farm crops of the United
States last year were valued at S.
675, $4,000 by the department OF agri-
culture in its final estimates Of the
year. That is almost $5,400000,000 less
than last years crops were worth, and
$1,000 100000 less than the crops Of
two years ago, when high prices pre-
vailed for farm products. The values
on Dec l and the staples included
comprise about 90 per cent of the value
OF all farm crops.
There were only two billion dollar
crops this year--corn and hay-while
last year four crops were valued at
that sum or more. Production was
below last year for almost every crop,
although the acreage Of important
crops was slightly larger, except corn.

Facts you should know
when you buy a car

No one receives anything gratuitously in
this world don't be misled by false al
lowances.
We believe that any sales policy which
encourages the giving of fictitious values
for used cars is an injustice to the pub
lie. We wish to establish definitely the
fact that the Buick Motor Company has
never followed this policy rather has
always based the price of its product
upon actual costs and when costs came
down correspondingly reduced the
prices OF its cars to the public without
any camoutlage whatsoever.
