The art of soap making is very old.
Pliny refers in his writings to both
hard and soft soap. Remains OF a

certain plants were used as cleansing
agents. Fuller's earth was also used,
the method being to spread 1t over the
garment to be cleaned and then to
stamp 1t In with the feet.

COOPERATIVE FARM

A pamphlet and QUESTIONABLE on CO.

brought out valuable information on
the subject from bankers, farmers and
state agricultural departments. 1t is
being used as campaign document in

Par with Other Big Business"
The movement on the part of farm
ers toward cooperative marketing as
plight is nationwide. There has been
notable progress in the development
of such associations, some conspicu-
ously successful ones being In opera
ton at the present time. There have
also been some disastrous failures
among these ventures in cooperative
marketing, which is the inevitable &C.
compartment of the progress Of any
movement. The Banker Farmer"
published by the American Bankers
Association, says:
cause and effect are operative n
cooperative marketing as truly as
they are in every other business enter
prise. An association will not neces-
sarily succeed or fail merely because
It is a cooperative association, but be-
cause it conforms to or transgresses
from the underlying principles of sue
cessful business operation. The move
ment itself Is of great national import
and the bankers of the country can
materially aid or retard its progress.
The responsibility of leadership in
rural communities rests very largely
with the country banker. 1t is his
duty to be informed on all matters re-
lating to the farmers well-being."

UNFIT FOR WORK

The physical condition of school children apply
ing for working permits in middewestern city is so
bad that only 27 per of the applicants in the last
six months have been passed into industry uncondl-
tionally.
Of the children who applied So per cent were
found to be handicapped with one or more physical
defects Fortynine per cent were denied permission
pending the correction of defects per cent were CIV
en- conditional permits and Is per cent were straight
way turned to the proper authorities for medical
treatment.
Unfortunately the class of children thrust early
into industry often than not are the least fitted
to take up the burden, because of the ignorance or
hardship or BOTH which have characterized their
bringing up They need, more than the children from
good homes the advantages of good and the usual
term of schooling By reason of their undeve poed
mental and physical powers their wageearning abii-
ty is very limited and usually remains limited
throughout their working life.
It is fortunate for such children, and for those
who must be dependent them, when public author
tiles intervene to prevent them from being driven to
work too early But the act of prevention is not
enough. 1t must be followed up with the care and
schooling under competent supervision which the
home has failed to supply.
