Hidden MESSAGES

Historians and others of the an
Gent times when parchment was
made use Of, il was the custom to
frequently make use of a sheet
second or third time by erasure of
the earlier impressions for the pur-
pose of receiving the subsequent
ones.
To the human eye the work of
erasure was complete to all intents
and purposes. but by the use of the
ultraviolet rays it has been found
possible to read the earlier inscrip-
tons with the same ease as the later
one and many old parchments are
now yielding TO the psychologists
valuable messages shedding light on
important matters of ancient his
tory.
In many cases the hidden mes
sages were of far more interest than
those in plain view. The same light
has been used to detect fraud in the
traffic of old masters which have
been altered and changed to suit the
purposes of the unprincipled dealer
or upon which a. forged signature
has been made. In one or two in
stances valuable works of the old
masters have been found covered
with the work of some latter day
dauber whose only object was to
make use of the canvas for his own
work without realizing the value of
that already impressed upon the

Increase In Farm co-operative.


The Department of Agriculture re-
ports that farmers cooperative or
CARNATIONS in the United States
gained more than 100000 members
from 1915 to 1925. The largest in
crease was in Southern states-from
Virginia to Texas. The smallest IN
crease was in the Pacific group,
says The Washington Post"
The first effort Of the Department
of Agriculture to gather statistics on
the extent and growth of farmers
cooperative marketing associations
was made in 1922. 1t was found then
that there were 1913 associations
handling grain. dairy products live
stock, fruits and vegetables, wool.
cotton. nuts, poultry. forage, tobacco
and miscellaneous commodities. OF
these cooperative marketing associa-
tons 6,639 were doing a business of
about $1.181. 2S9, 600 every year.
Since 1922 the number Of farmers
cooperative marketing associations
has Increased more than 5000 and
the total annual business carried on
has increased to about S200O,000, 900.
In 1928 there were 1,139 co-opera-
tive creameries in the United States
doing total business of about $127.-
100000 each year. Minnesota led with
more than $50 associations; Iowa
second with 1876 associations. Since
1928 the number of creamery CO.
operatives has increased, as well as
the volume of business transacted.
1t would appear that if all pro-
ducers of corn, wheat and other
basic commodities would join or form
a cooperative marketing association
their problem might be solved,

Would Jail JUDGES

If the Job of making America dry
We're in my hands, | would start right
in working on the judges. Today we
have a few judges addicted to the
practice of furnishing" offenders
against the dry laws with a ten dollar
fine, even after repeated convictions
1t is not infrequent that Judge will
turn prisoner loose with suspend
ed sentence after the third or fourth
offense. A judge who will do that
sort of thing ought TO be in Jail him
self
There is no reason why deliberate
offender should not receive the limit
that the law allows. And when
judge turns such "A man loose upon
society with a trivial fine. he is sim
ply inviting the offender to do it
again.
Such Judge simply cuts the heart
out Of the prohibition agent who tries
to do his duty. 1t brings a sneer
from the honest juryman who re-
turned the verdict and brings con-
