er of the scurrilous letters which

sibe for Maxwell to write some of
the letters whose authorship he was
accused of. as he was so i'll at the
time they were mailed that he could
not sign checks of the concern.
They declared, too, that Maxwell
himself had Tor years been the
recipient of similar letters. Several
years ago. they said, he had gone
to Havana, Cuba, with another man,
without having first told his friends
his destination. On arriving at their
hotel in Havana, Maxwell's friends

CO-OPERA TIVE MARKETING
Department Devoted to the Pool Selling of All Farm Products

Moreover, the Maine organization
purposes to expend 100000 per year
for the next five years in advertis-
ing the potatoes Of that state, q
thing that the growers could never
hope to do except through Co-oDera-
tive effort.
When the associations are formed
In other states it is planned to link
them all up in q central body, which
will direct the sales policy, the de-
tails Of marketing, regulate the
flow Of potatoes othe market and
designate the markets to which they
are to go, and generally control the
distribution so as to equalize prices
lection for both farmers and con
sumers.
That the plan promises success is
agreed by most farm papers and pc
riodicals, but there are a few dis
senting voices. One such says that
to market the national potato crop
is too big a job for a centralized CO.
operative association, and continues
Cooperation is a protection
against speculation and monopoly
Its purpose is an orderly system of
marketing a constant supply, and
reduction OF the cost Of distribution
to encourange consumption and in
creased demand.
TRUE cooperation is possible only
in localized groups because it would
be impossible for farmers widely
distributed to direct a centralized
business, and without the personal
direction of members an association
can not be cooperative. The large
centralized organizations have not
been permanently successful here
tOfore. The arrangement Of FEEDER
ated local associations has been gen
orally successful.
THE federal government should
furnish warehouses for potatoes as
it used to do for whisky, and see
that the crop is regularly distributed
over the season. The local co-opera
tive association could then move the
crop direct from the fields through
those warehouses to the consumer
in a steady supply"
On the other hand another au
thority says that it may be expected
that the Maine plan will not in
crease the cost of potatoes to the
consumer, but will by more efficient
methods of merchandising increase
the growers returns,"> while still
another says that such methods
work for the elimination of use

that the consumer will not be made

of his efforts to bury the body of

The negro attended a frolic on

dead with a pistol in her hand. He
wanted a hasty funeral, but neigh

closed the fact that the woman s

were no bullet marks on the body.

dustry, according to the experts, In
the first place, the production has
increased more rapidly than the
acreage, the yield per acre having
been increased. and at the same time
the per capita production has very
markedly increased. However, last
year, with the largest crop ever
grown in the United States, potato
growers were the victims Of the most
serious price slump in years. The
Increase In production naturally had
something TO do with the drop in
value, but the farmers also blame
competitive Juggling Of prices, dis
criminatory shipping, agreements,
biased inspection reports, and other
manipulations which they claim are
decidedly unfair.
Aaron Sapiro, organizer Of IS other
associations, Is the leader in the
movement resulting in the Maine Po-
tato Growers Cooperative assoCia-
ton. 1t Is said that 60 per cent of
the farmers who produce Names
great crop Of tubers have applied for
membership and have signed five
year contracts to turn over their
entire crop to the association.
Maine farmers say that they have
been completely at the mercy OF the
spectators, whether commission
merchants, or buyers in the produc-
ing districts. Because Of the short
growing season, they have only a
bare six weeks within which to get
their crop out of the ground. They
must market it Immediately as a
rule. in order to pay the country
bankers who have financed their
crops, or the village storekeepers
who have extended them credit be-
tween crops. Irrespective of market
conditions, they must turn their po-
tatOes into cash, if for no other rea-
son than that in 90 cases out Of a
hundred they have no storage facili-
ties to take care of the crop until
more favorable market conditions
warrant shipping it. They must
either take the price that the dealer
on the ground offers them, or ship
to commission houses con spec" In
either case, they say, they invariably
get the worst Of it.
How Cooperation Works
Under the cooperative marketing
plan the growers send their entire
crop direct to the warehouses, and
they are able to realize Immediately
a sufficient amount of cash to take
care Of their needs. although their
potatoes may not be actually sold
for months. Thus the market will
not be glutted by having the entire
crop dumped on it at once, the grow
er will get a fairer share Of what the
ultimate consumer pays, the undue
profits Of spectators and other mid
dlemen will be eliminated, and the
consumer will be the gamer by the
assurance Of steady supply, good
| quality and a fair price.

Take Salts to
 Flush Kidneys
Eat less meat if you feel Back achy or have Bladder
 trouble.

Too much meat may form uric acid, which excites and overworkes the kid neys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Big meat eaters can flush the kidneys occasionally to relieve them like they relieve the bowels, removing all the acids, waste and poison, else they may feel dull misery in the kid ney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, the stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad they have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irri- tated, obliging one to get up two or three times during the night.
 To help neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a table spoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys may then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and makes . delightful effervescent lithia water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to help prevent ser ious kidney and bladder disorders.
