THAT'S STRANGE

An AEnglishman attending banquet
heard an American tell this story,
which received considerable applause
Once upon time there lived an
honest lawyer whose name was
Strange. After his death it was found
that his will contained provision re-
questing that a stone be erected in his
memory, and that the only informa-
ton to be contained on the stone
would be these lines: Here lies All
honest lawyer, as any one passing
and reading the inscription would say
That's strange.
The Englishman would tell the
story, and told it about as follows
"Once upon time there lived ar
honest bailiff by the name of-oh.

Ino difference and when he died he
| left this provision in his will that a
stone should be erected to his memory
which should contain only the words
Here lies all honest -bailiff.' So you

name, because any one passing would

A MARKETING SYSTEM

We are engaged in making buncl

the reasons for the conditions Of til,

1t is the marketing system that il

Why is California SO prosperous to-

acre, in that they are pcrishable ana
@e all know that perishable crop is
harder and more expensive to marke.
than is either >non-p -perishable or a
,emi-perishable crop.
There were more than 10000 Okla
homa farmers, and large number OF
Texas farmers demonstrated last year
that cotton can be merchandised as
well as the crops of California The
Delta Section of Mississippi sold ovel
100000 bales of their cotton under the
cooperative marketing plan and re-
ceived for ii from five to ten cents
per pound more than did the farmers
of the same section who sold the same
grade of cotton on thekstreets.
Oklahoma, Texas and the Missis
sippi Delta sold last year their cotton
under the same system. Arkansas
sold her sweet potato crop and now
has more than 250,000 bales of cotton
under contract to sell under the same
plan. Both North and South Caro-
ina, Georgia and Alabama have or
ganized and will sell their present
crop under the same plan. The hill
counties of Mississippi are now put
ing OH campaign with the hope o.
being ready to sell the entire crop oi
1928.
There is much more to be said and
would like to go into detail and ex
plain this cooperative marketing
plan in full, but this would take toe
much space and | had rather meet
you in person. So if you are tired OF
your present marketing system; il
you are not getting as much for al
your produce as you are entitled to,
will be glad to meet with you and
your neighb6rs and discuss the plan
in. full
In conclusion / want to say the
people are the ones who can change
existing conditions, and you will
change them if you adopt the coop
erative marketing system which is
offered by the Farm Bureau.

The Proposed Amendment $

ree months distant, the propose,
nlendmcnt to Section l70 OF the Mis-
| issippi Constitution, giving the Stat.
| Highway Department control over !

3oms as one of the most important
ssues under consideration. Thi.
mendment would take seven pei
'ercent Of the roads, the main trunl
ighways, from under the control oi
ne boards Of supervisors, and com
Inc them into one connected State
highway System, which would be
.nder the control of the State High
ray Department for construction and
maintenance.
Opponents of this amendment hold
nat this is one OF series OF steps
nat are rapidly changing the Democ
acy OF the United States into an
nperialistic nation. and that unless
mis- movement is checked, another
luarter OF century will see United
dates, in which States Rights are i
hing Of the past, and the rule ii the
~ is supreme.
Advocates OF this measure. who

iold these views to be ridiculous ana
-ntirely unfounded, and back up Their
tatements with facts. The aInend-
nent will in no way place a sing e
hile of Mississippi roads under Fed
raj authority, but will simply trans
er the control Of seven per cent Of
ne roads from the counties, to the
tate Highway Commission, which is
-lected by the people, and is rcsponsi-
lie to the people. They hold that

Another very Convincing argument
advanced by the advocates of the pro-
,osed change, is that connected
state Highway System will be under

ion. In this way, the most important
Dads will receive the attention OF
rained engineers who will have the
authority and equipment to watch The
Dads closely, and act immediately in
.ase Of need of repairs. This, it IS
Argued, will relieve the counties of
he burden of maintaining these roads,
and allow them to devote the county
AK to roads Of lesser Importance,
which are at present neglected.
