The best person you could pos

an architect. You know, an architect
is man whose special problem is to
know all about materials. Most of

BETTER MARKETING
METHODS NEEDED

Continued from Seventeenth Page.)

cessive supply tends to drive down
the price.
A cooperative movement may be
of great assistance in steadying mar
ket demands and estimating the
quantity of production. Every farm
port such a work If he has the OPP
portunity to do so. 1t is probable e
that within a few years we shall
have statistics upon which we may
determine the approximate future de-
mand for any given product and the
probable production under existing
circumstances. The farmer will then
be able to proceed much more intel
ligently in his production than at
present.
Buyers' Needs vital.
2. The customer must be given the
product he wants, not the product we
happen to want to make or raise TOT
him. Whenever production does not
follow a popular demand but branches
off and creates something after lts
own fancy, an increased amount OF
effort is required to market these
goods. The expense of Distribution
under such circumstances ordinarily
and leaves the producer where he was
when he started. There is no reason
why popular demand in the matter
of types and varieties of fruit, yege-
tables and crops cannot be deter
mined statisticaliy in advance. then
the farmer would be able to fill an
order instead Of growing something
and hoping to find customer Tor
it after he has it harvested. =
Such Deliveries Essential.
8. The desired goods must be got
to the consumer quickly and cheaply.
This can best be accomplished by en-
jf.tr iii oh n a
afforded by modern advertising and
merchandising developments the
case of the California fruit growers
in creating a national and continual
demand for their products through
modern merchandising methods should
go log way toward solving the dil-
ficulties of other producers. During
the last twenty years the fortunes
have been made by introducing guam
tity production methods into the
manufacturing industry. The farm-
er has been at a distinct disadvantage
in this race due to his natural limita-
tions He cannot hurry his crops,
even though he can employ the latest
machinery and labor-savinS devices
doing the work on his farm. During
the next twenty years I am thor
oughly convinced that the large re
wards will be found in the fields OF
marketing and distribution. In this
nnection the farmer is on An even
footing with every other producer
and there is no reason why he snould
not benefit as much as any one else
in the development of more effective
means OF getting goods from the pro-
ducer to the consumer.

Five Boys Said Missing and at
Least IL Are Injured in

Baltimore, July 5.-Three dead,
five boys missing and at least IL
persons injured, some seriously, was
the tale brought here today by the
survivors of the sidewheel steamer,
Three Rivers, of the Baltimore.
Chesapeake and Atlantic Railway
Company with approximately 100

the waters edge early today in the
Chesapeake Bay near Cole Point.
MISS Evelyn Croker of Balti-

drowned and another negro deck
hand was burned to death.
The five boys are believed to have
persisted. They were members Of
the Baltimore Evening Sun news
boys band which had gone to Chris
field, Maryland, to play at the re-
gatta for work boats there yester-
day
According to stories obtained from
survivors, all or nearly all of the
people aboard took to the waters
because of the failure of attempts
to launch the life boats. They were
picked up by other craft which were
attracted to the scene of the blaze.
Officers of the Three Rivers could
not give the cause of the fire nor
had any theory to advance.

States Attorney William Johnston

had questioned them. He indicated
they made damaging statements.
They were Intercepted separately.
The Pecks, who are farm hands
employed in the vicinity of Senator
McCormick's estate near Byron, were
arrested by federal agents Thursday
night and taken to Chicago, according
to Sheriff Atkins of Rockford, who
said he had not been notified Of the
case.
States Attorney Johnston, while
declining to divulge the text Of the
letter received by the Mccormick
declared it contained no reference
to the kidnapping of the Mccormick
boy, John. The letter was clumsily
written and contained misspelled
words. Portions Of it, according to
the states attorney follows:
1--WE demand $4,000 to be left in
the culvert. Place it on July 3.
Place it on the east side.
