THE OLD MARKETING SYSTEM
Impoverished tho South-Hope from
Cooperative Marketing. n#

Columbia, Aug. 15.-If 40 years
Of marketing under the old system
have left this section impoverished.
except for abnormal prices paid dur
ing the war, then Is it not at least
time to begin to look for some other
system Of marketing?" asks w. w.
Bradley, State Bank Examiner in
statement issued to-day, strongly en-
dorsing the cooperative marketing
of cotton and tobacco, and urging
the banks of the State to back the
two associations. ~
Mr.. Bradley declares that the suc-
cess Of the associations rests more;
largely with the banks than with
any other force in the State. The
plan will succeed, he declared, Just

There is nothing in the problem,
that is inimical to their interests,
and there, is every probability Of
material prosperity to the banks, az
we'll as the communities they serve.
In promoting this marketing plan"
declares Mr.. Bradley in enumerating
some Of the reasons why the banks
should support the associations.
"In the past farm products have
been sold to thoroughly organized
compacts by thoroughly disintegrate
producers. The man who produces
has no word in the conduct OF pro-
duce exchange. The law Of supply
and demand has been imperative
except in the case Of extremely largo
or extremely small crops, and then
has been used mainly to the advant-
age Of the speculator.
cooperative marketing, it is be-
lfeved, will remedy, If not cure, this
evil by enabling the producer TO get
some advantage Of the selling end Of
the law Of supply and demand"

Aboard the Steamship Mdriatic, off
New England, Aug. 11.-(By wire
less AN explosion occurred to-day
aboard the steamship Adriatic in the
reserve coal hatch, killing Ave mem
bers Of the crew and injuring four
others. .
The explosion, which took place
at lilo a. M, was caused by spon-
taneous combustion. Not q passenger
was killed. Of the five members OF
the crew who were killed, one was
believed to have been blown over
board
''It came like roar Of thunder" :"
said one Of the passengers, describ-
ing the incident. "The captain Of the
ship, Hugh r. David, is strict dis
ciplinarian, and this showed this
morning when he performed great
work. He had the fire in the hold
under control and the ship again on
her way few hours after the explo-
sion."

managed to get down.
The launch Genevive was the first

lives. The fire swept rapidly through
the Shirin, and in less than an hour
the boat had sunk.

and industries are all owned by the colectiv-
ity; where each works for the other; where
each receives the same compensation for a
days work; where no member will accept
anything which any other member cannot
have on the same terms, if he desires it
in short, imagine place where the golden
rule is the only law imposed upon the COM
munity, and you are picturing the Llano Co
operative Colony.
After eight years of work, Llano Colony is
rated in the commercial world as worth over
$250,000. But Llano's least asset is its COM
mercial rating. The fullness of life, the Joy
of living, the satisfaction of working, the
security for the future, the healthy environ
ment, the opportunity for education, the af-
lection of your fellowmen-these are priced
more. much more, than what the commercial
world calls success.
This colony now has something like thirty
industries, all collectively owned. Among
these are: apiary, auto garage, building de-
partment, brick-making plant, blacksmith
shop, butcher shop, broom factory. crate
making factory. chicken farm, dairy with
about 20 milking cows and herd of thoro-
bred Holstein heifers, goat ranch. hog ranch,
with several hundred Duroc-J Jersey hogs,
sweet-potato storage houses, dressmaking.
grist mill. handle lathes, hotel, hospital, Ii
brary. steam laundry, land clearing. fruit or
chards. print shop, peanut butter factory,
magazine and weekly newspaper. picture
show and theater, wagon-making shop. cam
dy kitchen, shoe shop, harness shop. and
many other smaller concerns.
Then Llano's farms and gardens provide
the bulk Of the living for the coIonists, the
farmers specializing on sweet potatoes. SUI

while the gardens provide greens and gar

The system of government is exceedingly
simple. Stock is sold in the corporation at
one dollar share, and only stockholders
are employed by the Colony An agreement
of employment is entered into between the
Colony as an organization and each individ-
ual Each member is employed at what

MCE THE DAYS Of Jesus Christ. the

~ when no mans hand would be against
the hand of his neighbor, time when each
mans interest would be identical with the
best interests of the whole community. The
progressive thinker, all down through the
march Of civilization, has yearned for bet
ter state Of society in which to live. For
this reason, more than any other, men and
women have left their native soils and TAX
en- up the duties and terrible hardshlps OF
pioneers, searching for the golden opportun-
ity.
From the East men go West; from the
West they go farther West; but the smearyy
hand Of exploitation has always followed
close behind. leaving them often drained to
the point of poverty.
To get away from the tithe-paying system
-fro~s rent, interest and profit men have
struggled and fought and planned. Colonlz
alton enterprises have come into being in
many parts of the world. having as their OBJ
jet the grouping Of congenial workers in an
effort to eliminate these Objectionable phases

pered at this location until 1917. when the
water for irrigation purposes proved unequal
to the growth Of the Colony. and new and
more resourcefuI location was found in Lou

Founded on three great principles Of 'soci-
ology- equality Of opportunity. equality of
income, and equality of ownership, the Llano
Colony has proven that men and women can
live together in harmony and prosper. This

selects general manager. He selects hi
foremen for the various industries, and each
is selected carefully according to his ability
to do the work and to direct his men.
Each manager is given free hand to run
his department. always with the supervision
of the manager and board of directors, in
order that his actions may not be contrary to
the collective welfare
New industries are started from time to
time as necessity demands. The object of
Llano's industries is to provide the Colony
with what it needs. rather than to make
profit by selling the products. Production
for use is our slogan. Thus to make its own
food, clothing and shelter, to provide as far
as possible every convenience and comfort
is the final object. To get as nearly as pos
sible to the source of wealth, the Colony will
raise sheep for wool; cotton can be raised,
and the colonists can weave their own cloth
and make their clothing
The Colony's timber lands are now fur
nishing hardwood and pine for its buildings,
its brick plant makes the necessary brick and
can make thing, hollow tile, ETC.. for its own
homes.
The farm and gardens of the Colony have
provided the tables with most Of the good
things which nature offers.
Thus the three important problems are
easily solved.
Work is done as much as possible by ma
chinery, eliminating heavy drudgery, and the
more machinery used, the less the labor is
Many tractors are used on the farm and in
logging operations for hauling, and for land
clearing.
The Colony now owns about 5000 acres
of land, some of it of very fair character,
varying from bottom land to rolling land
and timber land. It intends to purchase
total Of 10000 acres. because the c9lonists
realize that the movement is destined to grow
to large proportions. several small commune
tiles probably will be settled on the land.
When the days work is done at 1880,
each colonist has an equal opportunity to
improve himself along many lines, such as
music, vocal training, languages. science,
agriculture. orchestra work, dancing, and
other diversions Many of these classes are
well attended. and all the colonists realize
