Those who oppose the principle
seem to think that in some sort OF
way the cooperative associations are
seeking to avoid the operation of the
law Of supply and demand. Those
who advocate this form OF marketing
are seeking only to create conditions
by which that law will operate fully
as between the seller and the buyer
of farm products. At present ii does
not.
There are powerful interests which
oppose this movement. They are ag.

Der is small compare ed with the great
army engaged in the production, dis

self-interest always inspires. they are
likely to impose their views upon
chambers of commerce and other like
organizations. Even though the great
majority of these bodies have a feel
ing that agriculture must organize in
order to fit into the modern business
world, they are too likely to yield to
the insistent and vocal minority which
feels that its own interest is jeopardiz-

Free Competition Vanishing.
Agriculture has emerged from its
primitive state. 1t must therefore
conform to those practices which have
been found necessary to the success
of other great industries. In all other
fields of commerce unrestricted free
and open competition in the market
ing of products has been generally
disappearing.
In practice in every other industry
the producer in the first instance
makes the price at which he will
sell his product. He usually arrives
at this price by computing the cost
of production and adds what he con-
siders a reasonable profit. In the
marketing of farm products alone has
the producer been content with the
methods of a century ago.
Indeed, while the farmer general
ly has retained his old methods they
have lost much Of their original eff
cacy because of the tendency toward
organization on the part of purchasers
of his product. The number of sell
ers has increased constantly, while
the number of buyers as constantly
has deCrea Sed.

Gradual Braking,
As on Trains, Good
Tip for Motorist
Engineers Find Sudden
dir Application
Brings Sliding.

When the streets are icy, does your
car roll down hill or slide down?
Safety lies in keeping your car
rolling. When it slides you lose all
control. 1t may slide into another
car or off the road into a ditch.
Railroad practice has demons ira t e d
that rolling wheels exert much
greater driving or braking effort than
spinning or slipping wheels. AS long
a S the turning wheels grip the rails
the train will move, but when the
drivers begin to spin the pulling eff
fort virtually ceases. If the engineer
applies the brakes so firmly that the
wheels lock. the train will slide a
greater distance than is required to
stop if the wheels continue to turn
and their speed is gradually reduC ed.
The moral to the motorist is-keep
your wheels turning. If you jam on
your brakes and lock them, the
wheels act as sled runners. If you
keep them turning slowly, constantly
presenting fresh gripping surfaces to
the road, the braking effort is great
est. and, besides, you can control the
direction as well as the speed.

What is the keynote of this years
automobile show-the essential diff
ference between the 1925 version OF
the annual motor car exhibit of the
local automobile trade and the sew
eral displays that have preceded It?
This question, of paramount i'm
portance to the motorist who follows
the trend OF conditions from year To
year and who desires to keep abreast
of the times. was put to Rudolph
Jose, chairman Of the show commit
tee of the Washington Automotive
Trade Association, under whose
auspices the exhibition is staged
Here is his answer:
Fortunately" said Mr. Jose. at Is
comparatively simple question 70

fore in the history of the automobile

never before have lines been sc
pleasing to the eye, never before has
equipment been so lavish and sc
wisely incorporated in the cars But
color means more than this. II
means distinction in engineering, in
character, in design-even in mer-
chandising policies.
1t is doubtful whether any previ-
Gus show ever revealed SO many en-
tirely different ideas in cars that
were so generally approved. Former
SHOWS have revealed all varieties OF
freak designs. both in chassis and
bodies, but this year even the most
Individual OF the displays has a fol-
lowing OF It's own, a following that

This makes for distinction. OF

safe side You can diveTge by buy

Companies Are Stronger.
That is because the companies that
are now making cars have survived
period of keen competition and
Hnanclal dlmculty. They are stronger
than ever before because they have
been tested and not found wanting
Experience usually demonstrates that
only those companies that set out
with definite convictions can ever
survive competition, for without such
convictions no new product has any
reason for existence. Thus in the
show that unfolds this week the
motorist Will see a wide variation in
cars that have succeeded because they
had a reason for coming into produc-
ton.

facturers have added, this year, fur

And, finally, there is the tasteful and
distinctive blending Of such color
schemes. This gives the motorist not

SEES MENACE IN LIGHTS.
Baughman Believes Running Board
Equipment Dangerous.

BALTIMORE. January 24.-Running
board lights, when placed in a posi-
ton where they can be seen from
the front of the machine, are a men
ace to traffic. in the opinion of f.
Austin Baughman, Marylands COM
missioner of motor vehicles.
Commissioner Baughman said there
was no objection to the green run
ming board lights ON the right side
Of automobiles, but that a red run
ming board light which can be seen
from the front of the car is often
mistaken for a tail light. The red
running board light, he said, should
be placed in a position where IL is
entirely obscured from the front view
and can be seen only from the side.
He suggested the red light be placed
on the left running board so that the
mud guard will act as a shield.
Action will be taken against own
ers of automobiles, he indicated, who
fall to move the offending lights to a
proper position.
