PRESENT MARKETING SYSTEM vs. CO
OPERATIVE MARKETING SYSTEM—The
following comparison of the present marketing
svstem with co-operative marketing was recently
pfcp;n‘cd by leaders in the Texas cooperative cot
ton marketing campaign.
: Present Marketing System
Who controls Present System ?—Spinners, spe
clators and gamblers,
Cost of operating present system?—The proda
cer pays the profits and expenses of all the long
I'ne of Luye s and dealers who operat: Letvecen
tym aro the mills, and he 2!so pays for ar average
of eight camples per hale, for weather da aage,
and many other wasteful and unnecessary charges.
What is the present selling plan?—"“Dumping”
as soon as harvested, which forces a year's supply
of cotton on the market in four or five months,
and inevitably “breaks” the market.
What is the financial method of present system?
—None, so far as the producer is concerned. Cot
ton buyers utilize the banking resources of the
country to finance the purchase of cotton, but the
producers are without any system for using bank
ing credit for orderly selling.
Grading and Stapling, present System— Entire
ly in the hands of the buyers. It is a matter of
common knowledge that cotton in the hands of
farmers is almost universally undergraded and
staple values ignored in local markets in which
farmers sell.
Weather damage, present system.—From an
average of $6 to more than $25 per bale—all paid
farmers.
Results, Present Syslmnw‘l’n\'crt_\', child labor,
hardship, and distress, poor churches, poor schools
and unsound and unstable business.
Co-Operative Marketing System
Who controls co-operative marketing system?
Producers acting through their cooperative sales
agency.
Cost of operating Cooperative Marketing Sys
tem ?—Cotton will move direct fro mthe produc
er to the warehouse of his selling agency without
any cost except transportation charges. When
sold by the Association the full amount received,
less the actual cost of maintaining the Association
will be returned to the growers. Wasteful sampling
weather damage, and the profits of many hand
lers will be entirely climinated.
What is Cooperative selling Plan?—( rderly and
systematic selling throughout the year accerding
to demand, which will be a factor in stabilizing
the market and minimizing “bear” raids and efforts
of speculators to break the market and lower the
price.
What is The Financing Program of CoOpera
tive System?—The Co-operative Marketing Asso
ciation, using negotiable warehouse receipts, wil
utilize banking resources of the country to make
advances to members at the time of delivery and
market cotton in an orderly and systematic man
ner.
Grading and Stapling Cooperative System—
In the hands of experienced and comptent men in
the employ of the Cooperative Marketing Associ
ation. Every member will get the full benefit of
the grade and staple value of each bale he produc
es. This alone will mean an average profit in ex
cess of §lO per bale.
Weather damage, Cooperative System—None.
All cotton of all members will be stored and insur
ed in bonded warehouses,
Results, Cooperative System—Fair and stable
prices representing cost of production and profit.
Independence, comfort, good churches, good
schools, and stable business—Progressive Farmer.
New Jersey Ku Klux evidently do not appreci
ate our former sceretary of 'the Chamber of Com
merce and at present publicity agent for the Klu
Klux Klan The Klan would not have gotten be
yond the elevatir of their office quarters in At
lanta but for the publicity work of the erstwhile
Secretary of Fitzgerald, Quitman and LaGrange
Chamber of Commerce. That E. Y. Clarke is an
expert in getting publicity (free) in the press of
the country has well been established since the
days when he put Brook’s County’s hams on the
map of the world and it was an easy matter for
him to exploit the constructive character of the
Klan of reconstruction days. Clarke is a past
master in the publicity game and he served sev
eral worthy institutions well during and since the
war in the capacity of publicity agent.

HOW A FOOLISH IDEA MAY SPREAD—A
student at the University of Illinois offers to sell
himself for one year for $l2OO to anyone who will
advance him the money to complete his college
course this year. His price is too high, but the
proposition is interesting.
. His price is too high because no intelligent hu

bounded wealth is at our hand,—
*szl stil our discontent keeps grwin’! It’s more
than 1 can understand_____.
There was a day when I could mention,—l can’t
forget it, even now.—We kept our feelin’s in sus_
pension by waltzin’ with a shovel plow______We
l«li(ln't flirt with fickle fortune, we never chased
the nimble cent, we got alonk without no scorchin’
! We didn't have no discontent! el
! We didn’t know no strained cenditions,—nor
hungry mouths, nor greedy eyes....We didn’t
have no politicians to fill our ears with blasted
lies! 1 wouldn’t say that I'm contendin’ for what
you call back_.number ways____But I can say,
without pretendin’ that them was mighty happy
days! N
man being would make such an offer, and a human
being who is not intelligent is expensive at even
$2O a year.
The proposition is interesting. The Georgian
thinks, because it illustrates the contagion of an
of an idea. A young girl advertised that she
would sell herself to support her mother. A theat
rical manager bought her, displayed her in public
for a few weeks, and the public heard nothing
lurther from her.
Young soldiers out of work in Boston put them
selves up for sale. It was clever advertising, but
it will amount to nothing. It was really a stupid
idea; those who bought were enticed by the glam
our of the advertising as much as those who offer
ed to sell themselves.
And now comes the Illinois student. He will
probably eb followed by others. Mothers-in-law,
neglected by their son-in-laws, convicts out of the
prisons, abandned husbands and wives all over
the country may be expected to offer themselves
for sale to attract attention to their wants.
It is amusing, it is typical American hysteria
and it will die out. But it is a fad and we may
have to put up with it.
Advertising is a wonderful science—but a nui
sance as a plaything,
There is no specific remedy for adversity. Only
Tighten up your belt, grit your teeth, work, work,
work, fight, fight, fight, and grin and bear it.
Read the biographies of the great men who
passed through suffering to success. They did not
l:ul\'crlis(- themselves for sale.—Atlanta Georgian,
THREE GREAT EVENTS—The principal ev
ents in a man’s or woman's life are but three—
and in some cases only two. The first is birth,
the second is marriage and the third is death.
These are the great adventures of life.
Thése events are all chronicled in the home town
paper—in the birth notices, the marriage notices,
an dthe death notices,
In between these notices, are the thousand little
items of everyday life of the people you know—
vour own people and friends.
Not the happenings of persons so-called famous,
but our own people-—the news items of the home
town paper. :
’ No place else can these items be obtained and
cvery town and city dweller should have the home
town paper.,
e
A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK—God gives
a great gift to man when he gives him a sunny
disposition, a candid spirit, and the instinct of
tairness in a controversy. It is exceedingly hard
for some to be just. They are jealous, suspicious
and morose in their natural bent. It is hard for
them to believe good of others. 1t is easy fol
them always to put the worst construction upon
lnmltors. [t sometimes seems as if it were almost
lmurc than grace itself can do to transform their
}tcmp('rs so that they will be just toward any man
|against whom they have been led to have a prej
!m!icc.fl The Uplift.
No errors of opinion can work injustice or be
come dangerous so long as they are ventilated in
the columns of the newspaper,
—_———
The old home town paper reflects the imperfec
tions of the old home town people as perfectly as
it chronicles their advancements.

“Knickerbockers now the feminine rage,” de
clares a local contemporary. Well, we'll say this:
From her waist up almost any woman looks as
well in knickerbockers as she does in skirts—Bos
ton Transcript.

A statesman is a dead politician, according to
the late Tom Reed ; but some politicians are dead
before they die.—Washington Post.

“Did you ever make a serious mistake in a pre
scription?” asked the customer, according to Way
side Tales, “Only once,” replied the drug store
clerk, “I gave a fellow a quart when his prescrip
tion only called for a half pint."—Savannah News.
