 He slipped his hand into the crook of Bills arm, and smiled happily at him.
 Why were you so keen about them?" asked Bill little resentfully T couldn't think where on earth you had got to-"
 Antony didn't say anything. He was staring at the poster.
 When did this happen?" he asked.
 "What?"
 Antony waved to the poster.

 Antony squeezed his arm.

 They walked in silence for half a mile or so along the road to Wood ham. Bill tried two or three times to get his friend to talk, but Antony had only grunted in reply He was just going to make another attempt, when Antony came to a sudden stop and turned to him anxiously.
 T wonder if you'd do something for me-" he said looking at him with some doubt.

HARDING PLANS TO
 BE AT LEGION MEET
Pershins, Gompers, Landis and POCh Would Gather With Veterans

New Orleans, Aug, 2a,-(By Asso- ciated Press)-"The Crescent City" is preparing to entertain the largest gathering in its history when l50.ooo members of the American Legion and other visitors come to the leeion's na- tional convention here October 1920.
 With the tentative acceptance of the convention invitation by President Harding and General Pershing and the definite acceptance of Major Gen eral John A. LeJeune. commandant of the United States Marine corps, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commis- sioner of baseball. the legion meet ing will assume national importance. Convention officials also expect to en- tertain famous marshal of France and other world war notables. Prom- inent among the distinguished guests will be 25 wearers of the congression- al medal of honor. the highest award for bravery made by the United States.
 President Accepts
 President Harding has written con- vention headquarters that he will come to New Orleans if the pressure of public affairs does not interfere and similar message has been re- ceived from General Pershing, who led the legion men in France, and who was a guest at their national gathering in Kansas City last year. The visit of General Lejeune will be of especial interest to legionnaires since the marine corps leader is a na- tive of Louisiana and was one of the most popular commanding generals in the American Expeditionary forces. The presence of MT. Gompers at the convention is expected to develop closer relations between the legion and organized labor. Judge Landis Is the father of former service man and has spoken at legion gatherings in all parts of the country.
 In preparation for the visit of the thousands of former service men, the convention committee has prepared an elaborate program of entertain ment. Convention sessions will be held only in the mornings. enabling delegates and visitors to participate in the festivities the remainder of the day.

 All this is due to one fundamental
 difference between the farmer an1
 other producers. Other industries are
 organized, through the factory sys-
 tenn. for group production, and even
 more highly organized. by the com
 bination of many factories. in many instances, into great mergers of one sort or another. for group selling. The farmer has never been, and, because of the inherent nature of his calling. which scatters him in mil lions of complete production units all over the face of the land, never will be. organized for group production.
 And, until the coming of cooperative
 marketing. which is the only thing that makes possible organization for group selling without organization for group production. he has never been organized for group selling. The result of the situation has been a s follows: that whereas other industries. through few gigantic selling organizations, deliver their product gradually, throughout the year, under expert merchandising and financing guidance, to the markets of the world as those markets will absorb them. the farmer, producing lniOue lHc year., HdS HcltlOlOEe sold the entire fruits of his years labor within 70 days on the average.

 millions of farmers, knowing notn-
 ing about market conditions, know
 ing nothing about salesmanship, dumping his product in competition with each one of his fellow farmers in that one brief time without re- gard to the absorption powers of the markets of the world.
 Speculative interests acquire this farm produce for what they choose to give for it and then deliver it to the consumers of the world more Or less gradually after deducting as many profits in innumerable turn overs as can be made.
 That Is what is the matter with the economic condition of the Amer ican farmer today, and that-this dumping process-is what co-opera- tive marketing Is designed to stop.

TWO ARE ARRESTED FOR SHOOTING OF

vALETTA, Malta, Dec. 12.-Two arrests have been made in connec- ton with the shooting today of Mason Mitchell American consul here. Mir. Mitchell was resting at his home tonight. suffering from flesh wound in the left side, which is said to be not of serious nature.

 MT. Mitchell was shot at close range from behind, his assailait using .3S caliber revolver.

barefaced and unfair use of all the machinery for drawing a jury which had been disclosed to him in all his long experience in the federal ourts. He added that this condition gives sufficient reason to justify a par don" for Jones as well as justify ing condemnation of the methods of Heney and Burns"
 Paul Rowland of Cleveland O, who appeared as personal counsel for MT. Daugherty, developed from James A. Finch, pardon attorney for the de- partment of justice. who prepared the report in the land fraud case, that both MT. Burns and MT. Heney had denied the charges with regard to the drawing of the Jones' jury. Mir. Finch testified also that Judge Gill bert had denied the charges, but MT. Ralston declared the official records of the department of justice would show that the trial judge subsequent ly had changed his opinion.

 After MT. Ralston had disclosed that it was not his purpose to un- dertake to show that MT. Burns had continued since 1907 the alleged prac- tiees referred to in the Wickersham report, several members of the com mittee objected to-the. admission of the letters on the grobnd that thev were irrevelent. They were overruled by Chairman volstead. however, and MT. Ralston proceeded to offer tes- timony intended to show that Mir Daugherty had knowledge of the Wickerskam report before appointing MT, Burns.

sound from financial standpoint and are fully entitled to the Vast credits which they require in their operations. The forthcoming meeting In Washington concerns this fact.
 Avoid Speculative system
 But the point is that government aid and the support of other farm organizations have no part in the permanent aims and operations of the co-operatives. once they are set up. They are designed to function completely within our social struc- ture as 1t exists today, and without requiring any radical change except in the present speculative system of distributing farm products.
 The whole idea of modern CO., operative marketing is to stop the dumping and substitute therefor the merchandising" of farm prod ucts.
 Of what we mean by merchandis- ing I shall try to give some idea in later article. Meanwhile, if we are to understand the cooperative move- ment at all, it. is necessary to realize at the outset what we mean by dumping, and to show that this evil of dumping is at the root of the farmers ills today.
 Every man knows, or should know, that the farmer receives, on the aver age, a smaller percentage of the con- sumer's dollar than the producer in any other line of American industry. He works harder and longer hours than anybody else, and yet his stand ard of living today, except In cer- tain marked communities where CO., operative marketing has for some time been successfully applied, is a generation behind that of his city brethren.
 Everybody also knows that when the great crash In values began in the fall of 1919, whereas other com modities as a rule declined more or less gradually, and other businesses were able to adjust themselves to a process of deflation covering many months, the prices on farm products crashed far below the levels indi- cated by the law of supply and de- mand almost immediately, and the

Raggedy Andy rode through the woods on the magic wooden sword the Magician had given him. And Raggedy Andy was very glad the Magician had given him the magic sword, because it carried him great deal faster than he could run. And Raggedy Andy was In great hurry because he wished to get to MT. Doodle's house before MT. and Mrs. Doodle chopped up the paper Dragon to make chicken coop. You re- member. the Magician wanted Dra- gen before he would tell where Marggy's daddy was and Raggedy Andy felt sure he could coax the kind paper Dragon to return with him to the Magician's castle.
 So the magic sword went lickety split through the woods and soon it carried Raggedy Andy right to MT. Deedle's front door.
 Raggedy Andy took the wooden sword and knocked on MT. Doodles front door-"Bang Bangl Bang"
 But no one answered. Then Rag gedy Andy ran around to the back door and knocked and still no one answered. Sc Raggedy Andy walked out in back of the fence and there was Mir. and, Mrs. Doodle and the paper Dragon.
 MT. Doodle had tied the paper Dragon to stakes In the ground and was driving all the chickens right into the paper Dragons mouth. For you remember. the Dragon was hol- low all the way to the tip end of his tail and really he made very nice chicken coop after the chickens were once inside. But the chickens did not care to so into the paper Dragon, because they thought the Dragon would eat them. Of course, the chickens did not know the paper Dragon did not wish the chickens inside his paper body any more than the chickens wanted to be there. Anyway the paper Dragon tried his best to growl In order to frighten the chickens, but MT. Doodle had put 8 stick in the paper Dragons mouth and this kept the Dragon from growing as loud as Dragons usually growl.
 And Mrs. Doodle shooed the chick ems and MT. Doodle shooed the chick ems and the paper Dragon did not like 1t even a teeny weeny bit, so you bet he was glad when Raggedy Andy walked up and asked in a loud, stern
