4 Mystery From Real Life
7OI 30 tACII115, PoI HdPS, dS Clo U1u-
time manuscript in bottle found on

IN time manuscript in bottle found on
the beach, but nevertheless keenly
provocative was the note discovered in a bas-
ket of Arkansas yams. In this wise it ran:
ITO the buyer Of this hamper of potatoes:
Please write and tell me what you paid for
it. The signature and address were those
of the grower.
purchaser responded: II paid two dollars
and eighty-five cents. Please write and tell
me why you wanted to know" In due time
came the answer: 81 sold that same hamper
of potatoes for fifty-five cents
This might well be termed mystery
story, for by what strange adventure could
the vans have multiplied their cost five
times over between leaving the producers
farm and arriving at the consumers door
step, scarce a hundred miles away? Trans
portation charges account for part Of the in
crease, and the legitimate fees of interme-
dfate dealers for part. But whatever the ex-
PLANTATION, the fact remains that system of
marketing in which the producer receives only
fifty-five cents for that for which the con-
sumner pays two dollars and eighty-five cents
is, for them both, exceedingly inefficient.
It is SO inefficient and, moreover, SO prev
aient that millions of dollars of rightful
profits are lost to producers and millions of
needless costs placed upon consumers, in div
ers commodities. The problem is not to be
solved by inveigh'ng against the middle
man." whose services are as necessary in the
modern economic scheme of things as are
those of the farmer himself. But an i1npor-
tant step toward solution lies in the develop
ment of the cooperative marketing organiza-
ton. What the fruit growers of Georgia have
accomplished by this method is but one amid
hundreds Of prophetic examples. More re-
Gently the principle of cooperative selling has
been applied to cotton in way that bids fair
to add substantially to the producers income
and at the same time to give far better serv-
ice to the buyer. In such undertakings, wise
ly conducted, are the opportunities for con-
serving immense values now frittered away.

QUlPS AND QUIDDITlES

In an engineer officers training school the
senior officer had his own ideas about exam
nations. He lined the applicants up and
pointed to the open doorway, beyond which lay
a pile of sand and cement and a PROSTATE
fagpole. Suppose he demanded "you
were captain of a company and you wished
to erect that flagpole. How void you go
about it," The further he got down The line
the more complicated became the answers.
Finally he arrived at the last man. "Sir, if l
was captain of the company" replied the can
didate, sand wanted to erect that flagpole,
I'd call The top kicker and say: Sergeant, put
up that flagpole, and be snappy about it,"

cago. president Of the National Asso-
citation Of Building Owners and Man
ayers. the timo 10 now ripe to make
similar surveys in every metropolitan
city in America.
I'm yesrs past and at the present time
any thought Of the requirements for
space" said Mr. Shultz. Some archi-
tect looking for q fee or the owner Of
piece Of property which he Wishes to
sell are generally the ones who promote
promotions have been to the decided
advantage Of the cities in which the
buildings are constructed. Nevertheless,
such blind procedure is inexcusable.
Public utilities do not put up new gas
or make other extensions without al
ready having demand for such an in
crease In service. or without knowing
with absolute certainty that they will
be able to sell gas. electricity or trans
poTation: Factories that extend with:
their requirements generally fail.
For building owners and managers
to sit idly by while unwise building
is going on Is to watch tleir business
being exploited. In one middle west
city whore considerable building is
going on there Is already a vacancy
Of over IL per cent Of the rentable
office space. With the addition Of
twice as much space as is now vacant
where will the office building invest
ors in that city find themselves?
Wouldn't Discourage Building.
1T is not the purpose OF such sur
veys or reports to discourage build
Ing. when there is q reasonable sup
position that 1t will fill a demand for
space. Nor do we wish to protect
ramshackle buildings at the expense
Of new ones. The National Associa-
tion of Building Owners and Man
ayers is heartily in accord with i'm
proving or removing deprecated
properties so that the business dis
tricts OF cities throughout the nation
will be improved, but we strongly
urge that a survey be made. either
by a local building owners and man
ayers association or by chambers Of
commerce. or by joint committees
from the two bodies, so that business
districts may be rebuilt and extended
intelligently.
THE San Francisco Association of
Building Owners and Managers has
pointed the way for the rest Of the
nations cities. SO that surveys, such
be conducted with a view to cleaning
out the buildings that have served
their usefulness and building new
structures as fast as the increase
In population requires additional ONCE
space.
ITO continue under the present hit
and-miss system threatens the i'm
pairment of business district values,
because vacancies soon change ONCE
