An exquisite CASTLE! And why Cas-

it is the one toilet soap that women
everywhere concede to be the finest

CASTLE holds the place of honor in
the esteem of the beauty, the fashion,
the aristocracy of America, as of
Europe. What woman would use any
thing else-if she could have it in a
form that would also win her taste
for the dainty, the exquisite, the femi-

the six hundred years since this in
comparable soap was first made,
nobody has improved it. The CASTLE

compliment recently to the rural letter car
riers when he addressed the convention OF the
National Letter Carriers association.
"The rural free delivery postal service ne

radio has grown as link between farm and
city, but the radio goes one way mostly ana

sage to his friends and the outside world
Then again, radio fails to bring the warm

MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION NEEDS TO
TAKE A HAND

With the sudden Stacking of business op-
portunities, due to the decline of the cotton
prices the Retail Merchants Association
should begin a campaign of trade extension
that would in part or fully overcome the loss
OF trade from our local territory. An active
campaign, worked out along proven lines Will
produce the desired result in which all mer-
chants would share in full accordance to their
own special effort behind the project. No use
in letting temporary local condition cause
any serious loss or concern for the future.

well established and it's institutions on such
firm footing that we are well prepared to make
an active and successful drive for new business

A RECORD OF EFFICIENT OPERATION

The condition of prosperity revealed by
twenty leading railways of the United States
for first half of 1926 should not inspire agita-
ton for general rate reductions.
The gross earnings reported show very lit
tie increase over last years figures. The net
operating revenues, however, show much
greater percentage of increase. This appar-
emily proves great progress in efficiency OF
service and economy of operation The rail-
roads of America have been working toward
this end ever since the period of governmental
control. Millions of new capital has been IN
vested in rolling stock, motive power, addl-
tional trackage and modern terminal facilities.
Because of these investments, the American
public probably is getting the best service it
ever received.
In 1925, the rate of return was only 4.SS per
cent for the whole country. This is much be-
low the 5.75 per cent which the Interstate
Commerce Commission has held to be a fair
return.
Growth of the country's commerce means a
constant demand for transportation improve
ments and the railroads must be in position
to finance these improvements economically.
This they cannot do if their credit be impaired,
and credit naturally is based upon earning ca
pacity.-From the Louisville, KY, Courier
Journal.

QUAIL WORTH ST A PAIR TO FARMER

We have frequently referred in these col
umns to the value of the birds to the farmer
in destroying insects The Florida Times
Union carries leading editorial recently OF
the same line, quoting Mr.. Wickes WambOlt
on bird life, who says in part:
Every pair of quail is worth dollar year on

Yes to eat To eat the weed seeds and the bad
bugs The quail is one the best little weed seed
and bad bug eaters you covey of
quail to every five of land would reduce the
insect and weed problem to minimum.
The quail has bad habits. He doesn't harm
anything that the farmer wants. He doesn't even
intrude his personality. Every noise he makes is
subdued and pleasant.
He doesn't come fussing around the house.

squawking, squalling under the and defacing

He stays in the farmers fieds-and he stays there
all the year round He doesn't go South in the

and sixyfve days in the year he is at home and on
the job hunting and scratching for insects and

more pairs of quail every summer-which are also
worth dollar per pair per year to the farmer.

A WORD TO MOTORISTS

The re-opening of schools throughout the
country has taken place and with it there are
coming into notice an increased number of ac=
dents to children through being struck by mo-
tor cars.
All motorists must exercise the greatest
care not to injure children. Their lives and
limbs are invaluable. If they seem to act care
lessly and heedlessly, let the motorist use ex-
ira care to offset that carelessness. The child
mind does not and cannot function in the pre-
cautionary way that an adults can. Its Judg-
ment as to distance and speed are often
wrong SO when the little ones are crossing
the street, or highway, just slow up the old
machine until you are certain there cannot be
any chance for an accident

WILL THE FARMER LEARN THE LESsON?'

The disastrous condition of the cotton sit
uation may force marketing system that
average good years have failed to accomplish.
For years the opportunity has been at hand
for cotton farmers to cooperate in marketing
their cotton in an orderly way, but only a
small per cent of the growers have taken adj
vantage of it. Due to this small percentage of
pooled cotton the full benefit. of cooperative
marketing was not reached, the unorganized
cotton, seventy-fve per cent of the crop, being
available by the manufactures, domestic and
toreign.
With fair prices prevailing the independent
grower was averse to binding himself to
period of years to deliver his cotton to an asso-
citation, believing that the prices would keep
up and that what benefit the co-ops may be to
the grower, would accrue to the independent
farmer as we'll as to the organized, willing to
reap where he didn't sow.
Conditions, however, have arisen which are
threatening the destruction of the entire cot
ton belt especially in those states which rely
on commercial fertilizer, an expense that Is
saved to the growers in the largest cotton
growing area-Texas and Oklahoma. Cotton
is selling far below the price of production of
the states that use commercial fertilizer and
no remedy is at hand to stem the tide save
complete organization of the cotton into the
cooperative marketing association. The sys-
tenn has the full approval of the Government
which has and is furnishing sufficient funds
per bale to protect the distress of the grower
and with its low cost of operation, its well or
ganized selling forces and the low insurance
charges the cotton grower in the organization
will be able to weather the storm, and through
orderly marketing of his share of the crop,
may come out fairly well, even with the indi-
cation of bumper crop.
We have in the past advocated cooperation
of the farmer, organizing his product, as in
dustry has organized it's labor units, and thus
share in measure in the establishing of
more or less fixed market condition. Without
organization, as it is now well shown, the cot
ton farmer is helpless. ~oA

'Tn addition to the improvements

have been made to reduce wear on

life. This, of course, makes need OF
adjustments or requirements less ire

ing cost.
.In line with Dodge Brothers well
known policy of constant improve.
ment without yearly models" Mr..
Walden continued, "refinements are
constantly being made, each being
adopted just as soon as exhaustive
tests have proved beyond doubt that
the change will improve the perform
ance and increase the value of the

Visitors in Florida are surprised
when they learn that the cities of
southeast Florida are getting their

query arises, "Why from such dis

sweet milk like that of selling Cali

vening states is one that in involves
a perfect marketing and shipping sys-
