The Co-oberat;ves Win Again

A STRIKING example of the efficiency of
a cooperative marketing of farm prod
ucts is furnished by the Florida Citrus
Growers Exchange.

faced the grapefruit growers of that state.
Owing to the Shipment earlier in the season of
a good deal of fruit of inferior Quality-large-
" from independent sources, be 1t said-and
an unusually large supply of fruit at the be-
ginning of summer, prices fell so sharply that
growers of the late fruit faced tremendous
losses The board of directors were called
into session and the problem laid before them.
The result was that Sales Manager George
A. Scott was directed to begin immediate
advertising campaign. Newspapers were used,
of course for direct action and attractive
"copy" was prepared and rushed to focal
cities, in which the adaptability of grapefruit
for summertime uses was the keynote. With
In ten days after the first advertisement was
published a healthy increase in demand for
grapefruit was observed, and prices have ris

means for stimulating demand.

strikingly how cooperative selling, plus news

MY FAVORITE STORIES

ry naturally resolves itself into two


This story naturally resolves itself into two
parts. Thus:
r Part 1.
Two midgets, members of travelling
troupe, are waiting at the Atlanta station for
train to New Orleans. The train is due at
midnight but it is late. The dwarfs go into the
lunch room for bite. One of them drinks
two large cups Of black coffee, then inn
mediately begins to lament his indiscretion.
'T had no business doing that" he pipes
to his companion. 'Now I know I won't sleep
"a wink till broad daylight"
The train arrives and the little men got on.
The coffee-drinker has a sleeper ticket calling
for Upper Eleven. The other man holds res
eryation for Upper Twelve.
The porter boosts the diminutive passen7
gers into their respective berths and the train
moves on.
Part 2.
On the following morning two travelling
men meet in the Mushroom of the PullmaN%
Hello, old chap" says the first, II didn't
know you were aboard What space did you
have last nightW
ri was in Lower Eleven" says the second
man.
'"How did you rest?" asks number one.
"Rotten I guess it must have been fancy,
but had the feeling that All night long
somebody was walking up and down just over
my head"

DESTINY'S CHILD
BY HAZEL DEYO BACHELOR

What has gone before.-Court-
ney Harrington has a queer influence
over Lorry Granville, and when Tom
Ransome, the man she has promised to
marry, proves unworthy. Lorry yields to
Herringston's demand that she marry
him. On the day before her marriage,
Tom comes to see her. He pleads that
she take him back, but in spite of her
love for him, Lorry sends him away and
the next day becomes Herringtons wife.
Now go on with the story. ~.

CHAPTER III
A Clash of Wills

IT. HEY were going to North Carolina for
a two weeks honeymoon. They we're
to stay at big. hotel and Lorry was
glad because there would be other people
about them.
But in the drawing room on the train with
the door closed behind them, she felt isolated.
She felt as much alone with Courtney as
though they were stranded somewhre on a
desert island.
The tiny square compartment was sweet
with the smell of roses and for days after
ward Lorry never smelled roses without feel
ing sick and faint with that dread that
Conrtney's presence always aroused in her.
The minute they were alone she expected
him to take her in his arms. She stood be-
fore him waiting, her lashes dropped until
they almost touched her cheeks, out he only
gathered her little gloved hands into one OF
his big warm ones and lifted her face with
the other
"Lorry, look at me-"
But back of the tenderness in his voice
Lorry sensed the note of command, and the
fear.
You're afraid of me?"
Yes the word came in a whisper.
"Why?"
81 don't know" How could she explain ia
him the feeling that she had toward him.
how could she make him understand that she
always thought of him as an eagle about to
swoop down upon her? He would smile per-
hats at such a fantastic notion but certainly
he would not understand
You trust me- don't you?"
YES oh, yes!"
But you don't love me-"
She shook her head and the motion brought
two tears trembling down the whiteness of
ner cheeks. Through the blur of them she
saw the gathering .brilliance in his eyes. 1t
grew and grew, until it seemed to Lorrv IN
bearable. 1t was as though his eyes held a Sc.
cret that she could not share, and then sud-
denly he spoke.
Some day you'll tell me with your own
lips that you love me, and when that dav
comes I'll have my revenge"
She shook her head and her lasbes 1ron-
ped She could not bear to look into his eyes
any longer. And then she was conscious of
the fact that he was bending toward her
"Lorry, you're my wife, you know"
His Wife AS If her heart were big enough
to hold any other thought, swe tha6 just at
this moment!
l want you to kiss me. You've never once
kissed me of your own free will"
her heart gave despairing throb. Was he
going TO demand even this from her? She
had steeled herself to the demand of his
kisses, because it was his right to take them.
but to make her give, oh, surely that was,
cruel, surely he might spare her that
"Lorry!"" again the word was spoken ten
derly, but, oh, the insstency back of II, the
determination to bend her to his will! And
as always there came the overwhelming
temptation to yield. Yielding was better than
to prolong the moment of suspense. The
breaking of the tidal wave upon her meant
the cessation of feeling, even fear.
With little sob Of surrender, she lifted
her head, came closer to him, and brushed his
l[S with hers. 1t was the lghtest kind of
caress. 1t was kiss that a child might
nave given, and she gave it not because shd
wanted to, but because his will was stronger
hers.

One shipper sent fifteen million tomato
plants out Of T4fton this season; it is estimat-
ed that the total shipments went beyond TWEEN
ty million. At a minimum calculation, these
plants brought to Triton $4,000, and they
were produced in a season of approximately
ninety days The money id not go into the
pockets of the growers alone, but large por-
ton was distributed for labor and supplies.
And tomato plants form only ne item, of the
plant business here. Which again illustrates
