SUSIE'S KITCHEN BAND
DRAWS GREAT CROWD

The people OF Pocahontas will not
soon forget the attraction put on at
the opera house last night by "Susie's
Kitchen Kabinet Band" which was
composed Of thirty-four young women
Of the Methodist church, under the
leadership of Mrs. Essie Dunham of
McAllister. Okla. who is visiting her
mother, Mrs. Birdie Kizer here.
The remembrance win be In every
way pleasant. for the attraction was
good-something unique, entirely diff
ferent from anything ever exhibited
here and each number was n pleasant
surprise. The band made very strilk-
ing hit when II appeared on the street,
Wednesday afternoon. staging a street
parade. The women were brilliantly
dressed in white skirts. white caps and
black coats, trimmed with glittering
tea spoons (not silver) and the In
struments, every one an article OF
kitchen ware. from nutmeg graters to
washing tubs, made up the band. It
was a splendid advance advertisement
and served the purpose well judging
from the crowd which packed the
opera house n few hours later to get
first glimpse Of the band behind the
footlights.
The performance was given for the
benefit of the new Methodist church
and the total door receipts amounted
to a very satisfactory sum.

Too many people suffer lame, ach-

Often this is due to faulty kidney &C

disease. Don't let weak kidneys wear
you out. Use Doan's Pills before it is
too latel Doan's are stimulant diu-
retic to the kidneys. Doan's have help
ed thousands. They should help you,
Here is one of many Dawson cases:

CAN'T OUTGUESS THE MARKET
From the Progressive Farmer.

modify marketing OF cotton will eX
meet these associations to ever get the
TOP price. On the other hand, they
will never get the lowest price. They
will simply get a better average price
for their members than is obtained by
farmers who market in the old way.
1t is. therefore, rank nonsense tor
any member OF cooperative market
ing association to complain that he
lost SO. or SIS, or any other amount
per bale by marketing his cotton
through the cooperative. He can with
the same lack OF reason claim that he
has lost money every year he tailed
to get the top price when he was not
a member OF cooperative.
But he can claim with the best rea-
son that in a term OF years he has and
will continue to get through the CO.
operative better average price than
those outside the association who
DUMP their cotton on the market III
the fall or during three or four
months Even last year those who
sold their cotton early and those who
sold it late got less than the average
and less than received by members OF
the cooperative.
The average man outside the asso-
cation cannot sell his cotton Tor the
top price and those inside have no
reason TO assume that they could or
would have done So The average
man who is not a member OF CO.
operative must sell cotton when he IS
told to do so by those he owes. He
is usually forced to sell cotton when
it is going down and therefore sell
dom gets even the average pric.
Why do the cooperative associa-
tons pay their members more than
the average price? Why do the mem
bers of these associations get more
one year with another than those who
sell in the old way?
First, as shown BY the report OF the
federal trade commission, it costs the
co-operatives less to market cotton
than it does the merchant or broker
under the old system.
Second, the member OF the cooper.
ative gets paid for the actual grade OF
his cotton, while the man who sells
from the wagon in the old way gets
paid for at least one grade lower than
his cotton actually is.

A few members OF the cooperative
cotton marketing association are com
planning that they could have sold
their cotton for more money. This
will ALWAYS be the case. The man who
assumes that he would have sold his
cotton at the top OF the mar ket Will
always be able to figure out how ne
wouId have done better outside the
marketing association. But he seems
10 forget that he has only one chance
ont OF about twenty-five to sell at the
TOP price. Only per cent sell at the
ton prices. This is because the man
has not vet been born who knows
when to sell cotton.
II the member of the cooperative
association who thinks he knows when
10 sell and would have sold at the top
price really knew how to do that he
would not long continue in the hard
business OF producing cotton. lie
would make his millions in year or
two and have no need for farming, or
the cooperative marketing assoc1a-
ton, and could live happily ever al
ter.
The basic or fundamental principle
OF cooperative marketing of cotton
is orderly marketing, which means
selling all the time or every month IN
the year. because cotton is used every
month in the year The co-operatives
will not, should not and can not sell
their cotton all at one time or at the
top price They will not and can not
sell at the top price, because no one
can do that, for no one knows the
TOD price. They should not attempt
TO sell all their cotton at one time at
any price. for the chances are they
would not get the top price ii they
did attempt to sell ii, and many times
would sell for less than they get by
selling all the time and getting the
average price By selling orderly and
refusing TO dump their cotton and
forcing prices down they get better
average price than under the old
dumping system.
The co-operatives will never get the
top price for all their cotton. They
will get better than average prices by
the old methods OF selling, but no one
who has the slightest knowledge OF
the principles of cooperative COM

/ Third. there is less country damage
warehouse charges are less, his cotton
is better insured, the co-operatives pay
lower rate OF interest than the in
dividual merchant. and the member OF
the cooperative instead OF the mer-
chant is paid the rebate in freight on
cotton which is compressed or stored
in transit.
Fourth, the member of a co-opera-
tive and not the merchant gets the
money which the samples and loose
cotton bring when sold. There are
other reasons, but these ought to be
enough
The federal trade commission, after
thorough and impartial investiga-
ton, declares that the co-operatlves
pay their members more than the
large merchants pay the country mer-
chants or local buyers who buy the
cotton from the farmers. This being
true. it goes without saying that the
co-operatives must pay their members
more than the local buyers pay non
members.
The member OF a cotton co-opera-
tive marketing association who claims
that he has lost money by marketing
his cotton through his association is
simply fooling himself or allowing the
enemies of cooperative marketing to
TOOL him. The only escape from this
is for him to assume that he could or
would market his cotton for top or
near top prices, and in such case he
is still fooling himself, for no man
knows when to market cotton.
The only safe apd sane plan is to
market it at all times, because cotton
is used at all times.
