GUARD YOUR SPEECH

MEN are judged by their talk. They
AVA have no other means Of impress
ing those with whom they come into
contact. .-...- 49,. ).
Business men and prospective en-
ployers are not mind readers. They
form their opinion of you by the words
that come out of your mouth. I.
If you talk well and intelligently
your chance Of success Is excellent.
If your speech Is slovenly, ingram
matical, and above all profane, you will
promptly be set down as q mucker.
And nobody wants to transact business
with muckers, or to hire muckers to
transact business for them.
Profanity instantly stamps those
who use it as of inferior intelligence.
More than that, 1t makes the cultiva-
ton Of correct speech impossible.
Nobody will take the trouble to
think Of the right word to use If he has
the habit Of inserting an expletive
whenever he is at q loss for the right
expression. .-. -. . ~
And only by searching for the right
words to use can correct speech be
formed.
You do not swear in the presence of
ladies. Unless you are utterly ill-man-
nered you do not swear In the presence
Of strangers. $50. -*~f~ .'Ha'>~ -
It Is easy, therefore, to keep rrofan-:
ity out Of your speech.
Important men, 1t is true, are some
times addicted to profanity. But they
are not important because Of their pro-
family, but in spite Of it.
And more and more, intelligent men
are abandoning the habit. Lincoln
managed to get along without it. So did
Washington, although both Of them
were subjected to vexations such as
are utterly unknown to you.
Keep your speech clean and straight
forward. Be vigorous, but don't be
profane. Fight hard against the habit
II you have it already. II you haven't
contracted 1t, don't. You don't want
to be known as a mucker, and you are
certain to be, If you substitute oaths
and explosives for intelligent English.

tank will transform the wastes from
the house plumbing so that their final
disposal in a safe, sanitary manner is
very simple Concrete septic tanks are
not hard to build nor are they eXpen-
sive. And in operation, they cost little
or nothing to keep in order and may
be relied upon to give satisfactory
service indefinitely.
The septic tank can be described as
water-tight cOntainer through which
slow current of sewage passes. The
proper time required for the trip is
usually considered to be "a hours.
During this passage through the tank,
the solids are worked upon by bacter-
ia and probably One-third of the to-
tai solids is turned to liquids and gas
SEES, one-third is deposited in the tank
as "sludge" or "scum," and the re-
naming third of solids passes out of
the tank with the liquid, or "effluent."
The simplest method of disposal of
the effluent is through lines of ordi-
nary or concrete drain tile laid as a
sub-surface or underground irrigation
system. A tank feet deep, feet long
and feet wide is recommended for
a family of eight people. The tank is
built with one compartment with walls
and bottom of concrete six inches
thick. The inlet is through inch
sewer pipe at one end of the tank
with the outlet opening one and one
half inches lower at the opposite end.
Battle boards are made of liz inch
plank slipped into slots made in the
walls of the tank. The inlet BATTLE pre-
vents agitation from incoming sew
age and virtually extends the inlet
pipe downward to the center of the
tank; the outlet BATTLE prevents large
solids from leaving the tank. These
are very necessary to prevent a direct
current forming from the inlet to out
let. A form is used to assist in plac-
ing the concrete and after few days
of curing it may be removed.
The problem of disposing of the
LIQUID part of the sewage is usually
given much less attention than it de-
serves. If effluent from the tanks is
safely disposed of, the greatest source
of infection is removed. The liquid is
suing from the tank is more or less
clear. There will be in the form of
very fine particles and will be sub
iect to further action when the air
bacteria get to work on the effluent.
The amount of tile to use depends on
the soil, the depth on the ability of |
The soil to absorb the moisture.

The family that has a stock of vege-
tables for the long winter season has
health bank account which will tide
them over the unproductiVe months.
The woman who looks with pride on
the shelves of brightly colOred canned
vegetables is justified, for she knows
that here is health for the entire fam
lily. Those jars of tiny carrots, tend
crest peas and most delicate spinach
leaves have been prepared for the lit
tie ones, the young vegetables being
richer in the Vitamines which assist
the growing child to attain its full
size and health. Some of the most i'm
portant health building clements are
here in the jars and vegetable cellar
iron to enrich the blood-calcium
and phosphorus to build strong bones
and teeth, and fibre that will help in
the elimination of body wastes. She
knows that these are valuable aids in
her problem of keeping her family fit
from the father who sits at his desk
all day, the oldest boy in high school
who is growing up so rapidly, to the
two-year-old who is just beginning the
journey of health building.
She smiles as she thinks of the sui
phur and molasses she used to deal
out in the spring to counterfeit the
lack of fresh vegetables during tie
winter months. How unpopular she
was at that time; but now since the
making of a garden has become a
regular part of the family program,
there's health and happiness fOr all.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
CBy C. A. McCue, Dean and Director
University of Delaware)


University of Delaware)
Successful commodity selling or
CARNATIONS for farm produce are or
ganized on the commodity basis anC
not on locality basis. Many promis'
ing cooperative marketing organiza'
tons have gone on the rocks because
they were organized on locality basis
and not a commodity basis. Mr.. Aaron
SapirO says "The commodity idea must
But the commodity idea is the first
be handled within practical limits
thing to bear in mind when you are
thinking of successful cooperative
associations"
A universal rule that should be rig
idly held to lis that cooperative COM
modify associations should be cOmpOs-
ed of farmers only. A many may be a
merchant and farmer; but he should
qualify as a farmer he must actually
have something to sell through the as
sOciation. Every member of the asso-
citation must have a community inter-
est with every other member of the
association.
A cooperative commodity selling as
ISOLATION must be organized for bust
ness purposes only. There should be
no room for politics or lingo. The
association should be a business or
ganization not a debating society.
There is room in Delaware Agricul-
ture for cooperative commodity SELL
ing organizations. The grape industry
of Delaware is ripe for such an organ
ization.
The sweet potato industry ought to
be a very fertile field for organization.
Every grower of sweet potatoes is ia
miliar with what the white potato sell
ling organization of the Eastern Shore
of Virginia has done for the Eastern
Shore counties of Virginia. There are
even greater possibilities with sweet
potatoes in Delaware.
Any cooperative marketing associ-
alton should be organized on a perma-
nent basis. A bank cannot start with
out permanent capital, neither can a
cooperative association, if it hopes to
survive. Cooperative contracts should
bind a majority of the produce to be
sold. The raisin growers association OF
California started out with controlling
1879 of the raisin output. An egg mar
keting association started out by con-
trolling the output from 1 100000 hens.
Today this association controls the
marketing of eggs from 100000 hens.
No cooperative selling contract
should be effective until minimum
of production to be controlled is es-
tablished and reached.
The justification of cooperative
is that it has been the
means of a more progressive form of
living and a superior type of citizen
ship and an economic remedy for
ills.
Delaware needs cooperative mar
keting. Mr. Aaron Sapiro will be in
this State November 21st to oath to
tell how it may be done. Mr.. Sapiro's |
visit holds untold possibilities for the
future of Delaware's agricultural

SWEET POTATO OUTLOOK

The outlook for sweet potato grow
ers and shippers is somewhat bright
er than last season, when the heavy
supplies caused low prices. Indica-
tions are for a total crop of 96,350. 900
bushels, or 1870 below last years pro-
duction, and go less than the 1921
crop Largest proportional decrease is
in the northeastern section where
production promises to be cut about
one-fourth. Compared with List year,
very important decreases are noted in
pe;f ware, New Jersey, Maryland and
Virginia. Since Onc half to twO-thirds
of all the sweet potatoes shipped to
consuming centers come from those
States, this cut will, of course, enter
largely into the market situation.
The crop in the Northeastern sec
ton, however, is still 100000 bushels
above the 1921 production, The 10
Southern States expect about 1870
fewer sweet potatoes than last year
and about go less than TWO seasons
ago, their estimated crop being slight
ly above 76,000,000 bushels. In the
central district, Illinois, Kentucky and
Missouri show some increase over the
1922 crop.
Georgia resumed first place this sea-
son as to volume of estimated pro-
duction and Alabama dropped to sec
ond place, followed closely by the Car
olinas and Mississippi. Because most
of the southern sweets are consumed
locally, the states leading in carlot
shipments are Virginia, New jersey
Delaware, Maryland and Tennessee.
Total shipments last season broke
all records, reaching 21,574 carloads.
Movement was somewhat delayed
this season and to October 9th was
nearly 1,45O cars behind last falls
output Eastern Shore of Virginia has
shipped about 225 carloads less than
to this time last year, and other States
are tagging. During the past week
Virginia furnished 1874 carloads, New
Jersey 80, Maryland So and California
so cars. The volume from the Eastern
Shore alone has been 70% of the total
movement.
Shipments increased gradually dur
ing September. but, as the liberal sup
plies in most markets caused price de-
cIines, shipments have decreased since
week ending September 22nd; and last
week werer educed 1919 to GOA car
loads. During the same week year
ago, shipments filled 864 cars.

SANITARY SEPTIC TANKS
Every Farm Home Should Build One
At Small Cost.

There is no greater enemy to health
than the outdoor privy. In many cases
the spread of typhoid fever, dysentery,
so-called summer complaints have
been traced directly to such source.
Careless methods of disposing of
wastes from the human body, as we'll
as garbage and other refuse of house
keeping, have caused epidemics of
disease with awful waste of human
life.
In many sections of the country,
health authorities will not permit the
use nor existence of an outdoor privy.
It is certain sooner or later, to foul
drinking water and so be the cause of
disease. The cesspool also should be
forbidden. It must be emptied at reg
ular intervals and safe disposals of
it's contents is a hard problem.

SHOULD HIGHWAY TRAFFIC
HAVE FEDERAL SUPERVISION
United States Chamber Of Com
merce Committee Says "Yes'

Motor transport should come under
Federal supervision, like rail and wa
ter carriers. Highways should be de-
Veloped in response to needs, so says
a report submitted by special COM
of Commerce.
The personnel of the committee in
cludes railway traffic officials, officers
of farm and labor organizations, rep
resentatives of the motor industry,
motor haulage companies, water car
riers, and the shipping public.
The committee believes that
1.-THE best interests of the public
and the carriers lie in cooperation be-
tween the various agencies of trans
portation.
1.-The greatest opportunity for CO.
operation is at the points where the
capacity of the railroads is most
limited that, is, in the terminal areas
of our great cities.
''Store door delivery by motor truck
ton which can be made to the sOlu-
ton of the terminal problem.
Outside of the terminal areas, mo-
tor trucks and busses should be used
to supplement the facilities of exist
ing common carriers.
at is to the public interest, as well
as to the interest of the respective
carriers, that the economic limitations
of each type of carrier be recognized;
that the railroads be permitted to dis
continue improbable service, to which
the motor is better suited, and that
the motor abandon its efforts to han
die general traffic over excessive dis
tances."
