cooPERATIve MARKETING.
sapiro Says 1t Is Biggest and Richest
Field of Endeavor for Young Men.

Cooperative Marketing" as career
for young men aspiring to leadership
was brought to the attention Of State
college graduates, with high recon-
mendations, by Aaron sapiro in de
livering the commencement address at
Raleigh, n. c., Tuesday night.
ITS the biggest and richest field of
endeavor now before young men," he
declared. '"There are only 10 or 20
men in the South who really under
stand cooperative marketing. l could
place so men in big jobs with opportue
mites for service and big pay if could
find them, men understanding the tech
niaue of the movement, who know how
to organize the machine

The green jewel is the May BIRTH
stone. If Jill first opened her eyes in
this balmy month, Jack should buy<her
an emerald ring and give it with this
appropriate verse;
''Who first beholds the light of day
In springs sweet, fiowery month Of
May,
And wears an emerald all her life,
Shall be loved and happy wife"

Paints Attractive Picture.

With his simple, concise, compre-
hensive and persuasive relation of the
cooperative movement, Sapiro sketch
ed the organization from the raising of
the product to its sale on the market,
giving the practical side of the whole
affair and making it look like busi-
ness prospect that would draw in any
old financial sage.
He took California as his example
of the successful operation of the
movement because there farmers who
ten years ago had their boys and girls
and, wives in the, field, now have their
children in college and their wives at
the resorts.
He told of the marketing of eggs,
stretching out three months production
over a whole year and selling them in
New York at three cents more the doz-
en- than neigbboriIOod eggs brought; Of

trolling the, supply, and new selling

schemes like its distribution in the lit
tie paste-board boxes all over the
country; of the system of distribution
OF oranges, reaching a climax by
strcssing the wonderful power of adj
vertising in building up market.
Advertising. he found, is just as
much of a necessity for the farm as it
is for business.
Experiments of the California coop
eratives with the magazines as adver-
tising mediums first, and then their
centering on the newspapers, because
we found we got nearly double the re-
suits through the newspapers" brought
big results. There a field could De
picked dependent upon the buying Ca
pacity of the public, and the returns
were wonderful.
Power in Cooperation.
He transformed the individual eff
forts of the cotton planter into the
cooperative efforts of giant business
enterprise, managed like the United
States Steel corporation, and finan-
cially able to compete with big busi-
ness in the world markets.
Expert knowledge Of business, eX-
perimentation to devise new ways
and means of using the product;
technical understanding of marketing
and distributioh-all these combined
in the big business win take the south
ern farmers into new life, he found.

The ancients thought that the wear
ing of the jewel would prevent epilep-
sy dad cure other diseases. Emerald
dust was used as u medicine for in
ternal use. AS hte as 1857 a firm of
German druggists quoted pound OF
the dust at eight groscnen, or 25 cents,
which indicates that the material was
either q substitute or of inferior quail
lty.
Wounds caused by burning could be
healed by sprinling powdered loadstone
over thSIn. This treatment however,
sometimes produced mclancholia; but
the physician need have no fear if he
possessed a bit of emerald dust If
solution made from the powder were
taken thrice daily throughput a period
of nine days, the melancholia would
fade away. a
The dust was considered quite ehec-
tive as an antidote against poisons. II
a person were dying, so barleycorns OF
the powder would counteract the erect
of the poison and save His life. The
Arabs priced emeralds highly for TINS
purpose, but they used the. whole gams'
The Arab physician. Abenzoar, took a
poisonous herb; he cured the Ill ef-
fleets by placing one stone on his
stomach and applying another to his
mouth. An Italian doctor followed the
same method in combating disease;
for liver affections he placed stone
over the liver; for gastric troubles he
placed it over the stomach. 1t was
common belief that precious stones
threw out curative energy but moo
ern, scientists say that radium is the
only mineral possessing this activity
In India. the stone IS widely known
as an antidote for all animal, mineral
and vegetable poisons. One name for
the gem is "garalari' or enemy OF
poison" The people of that country
believe it confers the gift of memory
reveals secrets and foretells future
events. They value theN> emerald so
highly that it is frequently used in the
decorations. of their sacred images.

ton miles. Through some slip that statement was
published without a further statement made in con-
~nection with it. The writer's meaning, was lost,
and the only impression created was that an inn
mense amount Of hauling had been saved. for sevcn-l
teen million miles make an imposing total.
Mr. Willard called attention later to the ornis-
sion. He had added that while this haulage saving
had been effected. it amounted to only two-tenths
of one per cent of the total haulage of those roads
within the period specified, and his conclusion had
been that a difference of two-tenths Of one PET cent
was scarcely great enough to serve as a basis for an
entire change of system and policy.
The particular question at issue can be dis
cussed by traffic experts more intelligently than, by
the general public, but a point in which the general
public is interested is the manner in which the inn
portance of large totals diminished when the sums
are brought into comparison with other sums, and
arc stated in their TRUE relations. Seventeen mill
ions is a lot. Two-tenths of one per cent seems
very much less important. This applies to earn
ings, expenditures, profits, losses. everything, in
short, that relates to human activities. We learn
that the profits of a certain corporation within a
given time were an immense number of millions.
The total is staggering. 1t seems too much. Yet
the profit on the business transacted may have been
very small. 1t costs the resident OF Moscow ten
thousand rubles to mail a letter to the United States!
Ten thousand OF anything seems a lot. But when
we find that the rublc of today, measured in terms
OF bread, or clothing, or day labor, has a value that
is only microscopic, our conception Of the cost OF
postage changes.
