Loren Roach, aged %, Of Jonesboro
figured in three automobile accidents
a few days ago, losing his life in the
third, when he was hurled into ditch
beside the road eight miles east Of
Jonesboro. Roach was pinned beneath
the aut, lhobile which turned over and
was unable to extricate himself, and
he was drowned in three feet of water
When Roach and Albert Witt turned
a street corner in Jonesboro early in
the day, their car was overturned,
but neither was injured but the car
was damaged. They then rented a
Ford car and drove TO Nettleton,
where the car was overturned, both
again escaping injury. Witt, after as
sisting in righting the car, stated he
had enough for one day, and Roach
proceeded alone, and met his death a

himself as he saw what fine pickings
he was going TO have In that land Of
frogs. The next thing the frogs knew
the sharp bin Of the stork was COB
bling them up one by one. They had
secured a radical change from their
old peaceful and safe government un-
der Kind ruler. For evermore they
were kept busy dodging the trouble
they had brought upon themselves by
unwarranted discomfort.
The moral is that persons seldom
know when they are well of.
The frog story runs closely parallel
to the dissatisfaction and restlessness
manifested in our own nation telay.
We have among us those who would
change radically our time-tested and
well established system of government
which gives to the individual all posi-
bic freedom i'm thought, action and
business. unhampered by restrictive in
terference with private activity.
For nearly century and a half We

The farmer cannot solve his market
ing problems by individual effort,
neither is cooperative marketing n
panacea for all the farmers economic
difficulties. His taxation cannot come
down with enormous issues of tax-free
securities by which great wealth es-
capes taxation.
Some think that the whole economic
difficulty OF the American farmer
could be righted IL cooperation could
be substituted for other methods of
selling. Because of this, these people
feel that the federal government should
become the sponsor and promoter of
individual associations, paying out of
federal funds the cost of organizing
these associations and practically all
the costs of operating them.
Mr. Tenny OF the U. S. Dept. Of Agri-
culture shows that the essentials Of
successful cooperation include organi-
zation along commodity lines, the OBJ
tanning of sufficient tonnage definitely
secured by legal contracts, the secur-
ing of able. honest business admins

been made to the foreign ONCE by

to a statement by the foreign ONCE.
The Japanese protest, the statemen mt
said, was based on grounds similar

agreement with the Mitsui Company Of
Japan, which, the protest said. car
ried a monopoly for wireless con-
