Fifth-That the shipper agrees tc
pay all wire expense between the dis
tribution office and the loading sta
tons, and the distributor agrees tc
pay all wire expense between the dis
/; tribution office and the destination
markets.
sixth-That the shipper shall
promptly pay for all brokerage dues
on bills rendered from time to time
on all cars sold f. O. b.
| Seyenth-That for the services
rendered, the shipper agrees to pay
the distributor, and the distributor
agrees to accept thereof:
(a) Thirty $500 dollars per car
on all tomatoes, peas and beans, and
fifteen ($15) dollars per car on all
cars Of watermelons and other vege~
tables not mentioned above which
are sold by the shipper for cash at
shipping points, whether sold by the
| shipper or by the distributor. This
is to cover the cost OF marketing in
formation which enables the shipper
to get the market value on cash sales
No cash sales shall be made withou:
the approval of the sales manager.
(b) Fifty ($50) dollars per car
On all cars Of tomatoes, peas and
beans, and thirty $500 dollars per
car on all cars of other vegetables,
not included above, and all cars of
Watermelons sold f. 0. b. or in transit
on which collections are made by
draft on the buyer.
Co Seven Cd per cent of the
gross sales with a minimum charge
of not less than the rate applying to
f. 0. b. sales Of the same community,
on all cars sold at destination and
collected for by the distributor. On
such sale the distributor assumes
the liability for collections at the
price finally agreed on with the
buyer.
Eighth-That the North American
Fruit Exchange never speculates on
the products which it sells, and does
not buy and sell such products for
its own account in competition with
its patrons; therefore, it can supply
an impartial marketing service.
Ninth-That the North American
Fruit Exchange shall handle all rail
road claims at it's standard rate for
claim service.
Tenth-That the shipper agrees
to protect the distributor against
losses on account of errors and under
charges in freight bills.
In acceptance Of all the above both
parties have caused this agreement
to be properly signed and executed
in duplicate by their duly authorized
representatives on the day and date
above written.

the selling agency and the shipper
can hardly obtain that information
as under this contract, there ought
to be some relationship between the
sellers earnings and the price which
the vegetables are sold for. We be-
lieve a commission contract is much
more likely to obtain for our grow
ers fair price for their vegetables
than such contract as that with
the North American Fruit Exch .nge.
But the most dangerous thing about
that contract is that, if the Missis-
| sippi Corporation at the last moment
should fail to take care of our ship
ments we would be unprepared to
make arrangements elsewhere, and
II this contract is entered into we.
are prevented under penalty from
making previous arrangement with
other parties. It is a good contract,
1t couldn't be better, for the North
American Fruit Exchange, but it is
a risky contract for the St. Tammany
parish farmers and growers who
make it.
But if any Of our growers think
this contract is the best they can
do, We hope they will go ahead and
make the contract. Our only claim
is that any cooperative association
which sets itself up as parish or
ganization should be formed so as to
render service also to the local asso-
Citations in the many ways which il
can do without requiring as a cond.-
ton for such services that such local
association be bound; by any and
every contract Of the Parish Associa-
ton not of benefit to such local and
not expressly accepted by the latter.
Weeeek the manager and organiz-
ers OF the proposed Parish Associa-
ton to consider il it will not tend
to weaken or destroy the confidence
ana mutual trust necessary to sue
cessful operation of cooperative
venture If they adopt a policy at
tempting to bind local associations
and members to contracts of which
they know little or nothing and
which are not to be submitted to
them TOR acceptance or rejection be-
fore they are to be bound thereby.
And why should acceptance OF the
North American Fruit Exchange and
the Mississippi Truck Growers Asso-
citation contract be made the abso-
lutte condition for mem bership and
other advantages which the Parish
Association might give to our st.
Iammany farmers? The Vaudeville
and other local associations which
are doubtful of any advantages to be
gained from signing up that contract
should not be excluded from a Parish
Association which can act as clear
Ing house of market and shipping in
foration, furnish where needed ex-
pert graders and packers, purchase
packages and hampers and other sup
plies comparatively, and function in
any other desired way which will
promote the common good. But an |
ordinary policy which says to. the
farmers, Either sign up this Fruit
Exchange contract or stay out of the
Parish Association" is harsh and un-
reasonable and will be a serious |
hindrance to the development of the !
trucking business in this parish. j,
which those interested in agricul-
,ural improvement here will wish to
prevent we believe by the aforesaid
to bylaws.

ers are beginning only now to realize
the truth of the fact that they cannot
afford to carry a large and heterogene-
Gus lot of odds and ends in radio ap-
paratus in the hopes that they will be
able to dispose of it. They are learn
ing now, by stern process, that hys-
terical overstocking of apparatus in an
effort to meet the spasmodic demand
of radio 'faddists' is not going to prove
profitable in the long run. They are
beginning to realize that dependable
apparatus, bought to meet the varying
radio conditions, is more to be relied
upon than unknown apparatus that
looks good in the catalogue, and is
merely an ornament upon the shelves.
Manufacturers, too, are learning
their lesson from this slump. They
are realizing that the time of order
taking is past and that the time of
order getting is here. They are learn
ing now, if they didn't know it before,
that in order to sell radio apparatus,
they must give good value, serviceable
merchandise, attractive prices and real
service and dealer cooperation"

BELIEVED IN "EARLY TO BED"
Small Town Evidently No Place for
Individual Accustomed to the
City's Bright Lights.

Recently two newspaper correspond
ents were sent to the coal fields in
Clay county, where martial law has
been declared, and in the evening they
wandered to a small village near the
fields in an effort to find some enter
tainment.
After walking up and down Main
street several times, the correspond
ents sighted a public drinking foun-
tain. 1t was then nine o'clock. On ex-
animation they found that the drink
ing fountains had been locked by the
town official for the night. Then
they headed for a drug store and
found the proprietor locking up for
the night. On inquiry they were told
that 'it is past nine O'clock"
One correspondent said to the other
"Well, Mack, do you suppose the hotel
is closed for the night?"
II don't know" the other replied
'but think we had better get to bed
before they move the curbstones in."-

MARSHAL FOCH'S FIRST PIPE
French General Discarded Cigarettes
When Great Offensive Against
German Enemy Began.

The truth about FOch's famous pipe
came out also on the Metz trip. It was
on the way home, and the marshal was
dining in M. Poincare's private car.
After dinner the prime minister said /:
"Pray smoke your pipe if you like, mar
shall" The soldier pulled a beautiful
case, containing two handsome pipes,
from his pocket. AS the chief Of state
commented on their beauty, he said
they were given to him by group of
American artists.
"Have you been smoking pipe for
long" asked POincare.
"My first pipe was on July Is,
1918"
1.-THE very day you began the often
Sive that led to victory?" exclaimed
Poincare.
"Yes. The cigarettes were fearful
at the time, so I took to the pipe, like
everybody else"
And that is the true story of the ia
nous ''peace pipe" of Marshal Foch, if
we can trust LIE Sifflet.

pling.
In Figure XXXVI the tube was made
self exciting by coupling an inductance
Z connected in the grid circuit to L..
an inductance in the tune plate circuit.
A development of this circuit is show n
in Figure XXXIX.
Here the energy, instead of being
directly coupled from the plate to the
grid circuit, is first necessary to an
intermediate circuit, MN, and then to
the grid circuit. 1t is necessary of
course, that the circuit KY and MN
have the same natural period, that is
to say, they must be tuned to the same
frequency. If the frequency is rela-
lively high, the condenser G can be
dispensed with, and the capacity of the
plate to filament used as a portion of
the oscillation plate circuit.
The circuit as shown in Fig. XXXIX
is inherently the circuit used in low
power undamped or continuous wave
radio telegraph transmitters. BY sub
shutting in the oscillating circuit MN
the capacity of an antenna with re-
spect to the ground, we have the con-
tinuous transmitter shown in Fig. XII.
By placing key in the "B" or plate
battery to turn the plate battery off
and on the start and stop, the tube os-
cillating dots and dashes scan be sent

the grid and plate coils and l. and

To adjust therwave length the value of
