THE WAY TO WIN
BY Miss Gena Myers.
Holly Bush School

It takes a little courage,
And not much time for rest.
1t takes ii little hard thinking
When you begin latin test.
X x
1t takes Il great deal of striving,
And firm and stern set chin,
No matter what the questions are
If you really expect to win.
= x
But ii takes a great determination,
And little self control,
When you begin latin examination,
If you want to make the goal.
x X 4
Though faithful teacher tells us
There's no easy path to glory,
And no rosy road to fame,
Life. however you may view it,
Is no simple easy game.
:: x
But your grades call for fighting,
For endurance, and for grit
For midnight disposition,
And Il Don't know when to- quit. "
X x <
You must take test or give one,
You must risk and you must lose,
And expect that in the struggle
You will suffer from bruise.
4 X
But then you must not falter
If study you once. begin,
Be >man and face the battle,
That's the only way to win.

WE MUST LEARN TO MARKET

What profiteth il farmer to
produce largely and not market at a
fair prOfit?"
We talk easily of and demand
more production. but we shy at the
word MARKET. There will be no
greater production unless the produce
can be marketed nj a profit TO the
grower.
When we learn real cooperation,
town and country working together,
when we forget self. in the selfish
acceptance of the word, and begin to
practice 'enlightened selfishness"-
plain. practical, common sense CO.
operation. realizing that all must
profit if we are to have true pros
perity, then and then only will we
be ready for practical marketing
system and more production.
The producers of Mississippi must
organize by lines of production, just
as the producers of various COM
moditieS elsewhere have done. dairy
products vegetables. fruits, live
stock, tobacco. grains and other
farm products.
We must not expect to work out
and perfect Il satisfactory marketing
system i'm Il week. Il month, season
or Il year. 1t will take several years
and we must not expect results too
quickly. but it will be worth the
time and effort expended. No matter
how hard we try to work out this
problem, it can never be worked out
without cooperation between farm
folks and town folks.
Those of us that live in the country
cannot put il over" alone; neither
can those of us who live in town.
All must realize that there is no such
thing as absolute independence.
Why do people buy 'Sunkist'
oranges. Colorado potatoes, Jersey
sweet potatoes, Oregon apples,
Georgia peaches or California canned
goods? They are standardized, have
been graded for size, quality, and
growing standard variety, using a
trade name-these are the things
that have made famous the products
named above and many more. That
action has opened a world wide mar
ket.
We can make Mississippi just as
any VI thSSV o1hSifs' a !" =
use the same methods. We must
grow Tor Il market what it demands,
grade. pack, advertise. We must re-
member that uniformity of grade at
tracts the big buyers. Training
schools on grading, packing, stand
ardiZation and market demands
must be fostered.
We must provide proper and ade-
quate warehouse and storage facili-
ties. so that we can take care of our
products until marketing conditions
are right. We must have good roads
so that we can get our products to
the market during any season and in
all kinds of weather.
Lack of an efficient marketing
system means waste. What is vast
ed would feed us.
The Mississippi Development
Board wants to be helpful in plan
ming marketing system and will
as soon as it's present membership
campaign is out of the way, gladly
help to plan such system. The best
brain and knowledge to be obtained,
both in and out of the State, should
be called in to help us.

The rains which have fallen the
past few days have. in a. way, re-
tarded the work of the farmers IN
their preparation for Spring plant
ing. but the more thrifty are putting
in good time repairing fences. clear
ing new ground, repairing farm
buildings. etc. Every indication
points to the fact that larger crops
are TO be planted this year than
ever, also many farmers report that
more fertilizer will be used this year
than ever. Ii is Il god sign and shows
that our people are waking up to the
necessity OF up-to- date cultivation.

The Stores
that Survive!

Have you wondered why it is that some stores
continue to grow, while others, after struggling for
awhile pass out of existence?
Is it because one is lucky and the other unlucky?
No. In many instances it was because one store
made QUALITY it's motto and the other lost sight
of QUALITY in mad struggle after PRICE.
Mere cheapness cannot even hold an established
business, much less create mercantile success.
Value is not only what you the public, demands,
it is the merchants own protection-his business
life insurance
Kennngton's still survives and continues to
grow because it puts ideals before IDEALS" Because
it strives first to keep up QUALITY-after that
to keep down PRICE.
With Kennington's, QUALITY comes first.
It is their standard never to be lowered.
Remington Quality is more than mere words
1t is that something" which has built up and
maintains great store in which the public have the
utmost confidence-t is that which assures YOU
Of complete satisfaction with every purchase.
