the State Revenue Agent; in fact such a law as
was incorporated in House Bill No. $685. which
was introduced at the last session of the Legis-

by the Governor for the alleged reason that it
might interfere with suit then pending that

Cooperative Marketing.

The annual essay contest, in the
High Schools and Colleges o
Louisiana and Mississippi, had for
its subject this year; rs Coopera-
tive Marketing Beneficial to the
Community Generally"
The winning medalist in thu
Tishomingo County Agricultural
High School was Fred McNatt, O
Tishomingo, whose paper we re-
produce below:
One of our chief needs in CO.
operative marketing is with oul
sweet potato crop. One reason
that the southern farmer does not
receive good prices for his products
is that he does not use proper
methods of handling and marketing
In many cases the potatoes are
badly bruised and cut in digging,
are not graded, and are rushed on
the market when there is an over
supply. The secrets of success in
getting high prices are care, grading
cleaning and packing the product,
as we'll graded and neatly packed
articles always command better
price on the market, and putting it
on the market when there is good
demand. Under the individual
marketing system it is impossible
to hold the crop and dispose of it
when the market demands. They
also require thorough curing and
grading before they will command
high price. To do this will re-
quire some form OF cooper ative
organization which will be prepared
to handle these problems in way
similar to the present plan of the
Cooperative Cotton Association.
After discussing the different
instances cf co-operative.m e.marketing,
we come to the conclusion that it
leads to the betterment of the COM
munity in which it operates by
aiding it financially, and the i'm.
provements of the community,
already mentioned follow as a
matter of course"

BOBBY FINDS A LITTLE ALRPLANE

, "You see, Bobby. when a maple
tree bears these seeds they drop
off, so that they will take root in
the ground and grow and give us
more maple trees. But, you see,
II they all dropped right on the
earth under their mother there
would be no sunshine for them,
because the shade of her boughs
would cover them. And then,
even IL they could grow in the
shade, when they got big there
would be no room for them to
spread their branches
''Then what happens?" urged
Bobby.
well, Nature has taken care
OF that" went on. Mature is
so thoughtful that she gives these
little seeds the wings which you
see here. Then when they leave
the mother tree the wind catches
them. and off they sail like
miniature airplane. Some fine
day they find a good place to
take root. then they start grow
ing for dear life"
And" concluded Bobby, then
after q while they grow into big
maple trees"
YES" agreed, land then
when they are full grown they
give maple syrup for little boys
just like you"
That's wonderful I'll never

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By Charles A. L. Reed,
M. D.,
Former President Of the American
Medical Association.

Medical Association.
W GU may or may not be ia
miliar with the process Of
filtering-the process by
which minute particles Of matter
may be strained out of fluids.
Of course; there are many kinds
Of filters, varying from the little
paper filters used in chemical
laboratories to the enormous sand
filters used in municipal water
supply systems.
Make a filter by folding 3
piece Of porous paper into the
form of cornucopia and putting
the little side down In an empty
glass. Then pour a little OF al
most any kind Of turbid water
into the filter. In a short time
the clear water will ooze through
the paper into the glass. while
the matter that made 1t turbid
viii be on the inner surface OF
the paper.
The psychologists tell US that
a porcelain filter win stop q par
ticle Of matter that is over five
thousandth OF a miIlemeter IN
diameter.
Do you know how large or how
small that is?
This will give you an idea:
A tiny drop Of your blood ought
to contain about seven million
still timer bodies. called red cor
puscles. Each one Of these cor
puscles Is about thirty times as
big as a speck Of matter that ID
only one -five-thousandth Of q mil
limeter in diameter.
All bodies smaller than q five
thousandth Of a miIlemeter In di-
ameter will go through the pores
of a porcelain filter. and there
fore are knoWn In the scientific
world as filter passers.''
Among these ''filter passer
germs" are those that cause In
fluenza. and other germs that
cause distemper, rabies, smallpox,
scarlet fever and q number of
other infectious diseases.
But II you can't see them, how
>>do you know they are germs
that they are living? you natur.
ally ask.
We know It because the fluid
that has come through tha filter.
il injected into the system Of q
healthy individual. win cause the
same disease.
Yes, that may be true, but Il
only proves that 1t is poison,
not that it is alive,'' you de-
clare.
But. you see, If a little OF this
fluid is added to some sterile
fluid under certain conditions the
whole will shortly become as vir-
ulent If not more virulent than
the original filtered fluid, thus
showing that there must be null
duplication or reproduction of the
poison in the original fluid. This
can only be done by the process
that we call life.
''Has that ever been proved?''
you demand.
ut has. Yellow fever is
striking example. We know from
the conditions that germ must,
simply must, have been the mis-
chiefmaker. The prevention OF
the disease was successfully done
on that hypothesis. Finally, the
hypothesis was confirmed by
Nougouchi, the brilliant scientist
of the Rockefeller Institute, who
identified the germ. And there
are other instances in which it
seems our hypothesis are sound
and that we are on the verge
OF other life-saving discoveries.
There is another interesting
fact. It would seem to he law
that the smaller a germ the more
viruient 1t is as an Infectious
agent"
