A LITTLE VOW FOR NEW YEARS
JJy Mary Carolyn Doves in Ladic*
Home Journal
Every Lou: and every minute
Hus a Now Year’s Day tucked in it,
And each single one of these
Jy packed with po sit ilities —
Possibilities of pleasure,
Of sharing with a friend a treasure,
Of making a ‘‘Good Morning chet-iy,
Making a good morning ftom
dreary—
Of shutting tight the tins to hide
A bit of gossip safe inside,
Instead "f letting it get out
To mam about,
And maybe do
More harm than you
Would like it. to.
I.et us take a New Year vow—
Since it ■ the New Year now
To be more kind, >:♦ " brave, more
gay
Thf v <" 1 .; ' i <ihe each single day
Tli T come a model New Years Day!
A CAROL
AFTER CHRISTMAS
Cost on the fire the wreath of with
ered holly,
And so
The mistletoe;
tip tie ire t chimney where Saint
Nick descended,
New let the smoke go.
Strip from the tree the trinket, U’d
the tapers;
And non
Each barren hough
Give, to thf lila e that, leaping. hall
consume it.
And no least twit; allow,
Christmas is pone! Ye ’i’tle. laugh
ing children,
Who sre
The burning tree—
Think, for a moment solemi in the
firelipht,
llow preat your blessings be!
Send up, like smoke from hough an I
berry,
Tour.thanks to God, who made your
Christmas merry!
- Louise Taylor Davis in
Good Housekeeping.
A Happv New Year to each and
eveiy ene of vou —and may each day
of this vear of grace, nineteen hun
dred twenty five echo th’s triad wish,
M. y jmst :ailures only stimulate
us to a greater future.
l’erhaps our greatest joy - th t
IV'W every page of our New Year’s
book is clean and bright. May we
live that when w# fare its close

Middle-aged women on this train
have beautifully quiet, peaceful
faces.
Consider the couple sitting across
the aisie in the dining car. They
come from a farm, their hands
and complexion show it.
The light and fire are din: in
hi.- • gray eyes. Many weary
ni.irs Ids f et have walked behind
the - plow and the harrow; many
miles he has driven over bad
rouds in a slow, rocking buggy to
and from the town.
His shoulders are bent by heavy
weights, and worry has left deep
wrinkles. But that is over, the
life of hard v-ok has brought its
reward. The children are settled.
She sits next to the window,
looking out at the kind of country
she has known for fifty years. Big
brown fields, stretching away to

Her face is p a cf .1, happy as

Earnest, patient, calm and beau

Here is not the face that
launched a t ousand ships or
burned any to\ ers, anyway. It’s

It’s the face that weaned a
thousand calves, cook J thirty
thousand meals for family and
farm hands, sewed a. and mended
and washed for a family of chil
dren, caring for them in sickness
and health, helping with the chores
and economised on herself.
“The little girl with the curls
and the plaid dress, she is our
youngest grandnughter. Our
daughter will be lonely without
her. Hut they are letting os take
her for a little while so s£je can see
the country while she ir young.
We had to wait a long while.”
Every dollar they take with
them, to provide for a well-earned
old age of peace, and rest., is a
dollar raised by hard work. Crops
raised by their hands have fed
thousands. For every dollar they
have had, the public has lmd ten
dollars in value.
llappy is this nation in possess
ing such States as California and
Florida, in which those that have
worked hard may spend their lat

and enjoying the results of hard
nnd useful work.
Those now living will sec in
California and in Florida cities
greater than any now on earth.
They will not he cities of crowded,
wi.aly strei: s. but cities that will
• cover millions of square miles,
spreading over hills and valleys,
witii cautiful roads and great
landing fields for living machines,
that v..!! bring swiftly through

now carry slowly.
The Fast and Northeast will
send their millions to Florida,

With the firing machine fully

Nothing to worry about, over
crowding least of all, if the people
combine imagination and common

WE CAN T OUTGUESS
THE MARKET
(The Progressive I : rmer)
A few members of the coopera
tive cotton marketing association
are com oh.in ng that th y coul 1
Rive sold their cotter, for more
n> i'.ev. This ' . ._ e • i *'’
■a . Th.- man- tt-sames that
he would have so 11 ids cotton 'at
the top of the mark:' will always
he able to figure out how 1 e would
have done better out ide the market
ing associs tion. But he seems to
forget that he has only one chance
out of about twenty-five to sell at
the top price. Only 4 per cent sell
at the top prices. This is because
the man has not been born who
knows when to sell cotton.
If the member of the cooperative
who thinks he knows when to sell
cotton and would have sold at tha
top price really knew how to do
that he would not long continue in
the hard business of producing cot
ton. He Wjuuld make his millions
in a year or two and have no need
for farming, or have the cooperative
marketing association, and could
“live happily ever after.”
The basic or fundimental princi
ple of cooperative marketing of cot
ton is orderly marketing, which
means selling cotton all the time
or every month in the year, be
cause -cotton is used every month in
the year. The eooperati\ es will
not. should not. and can not sell
them cotton all at one lime or at
the top price, because no one can
do that, for no one knows the top
price. They should not attempt to
sill all their cotton at oii£ time
at any price, for the cl ances are
they would not yet the ton :’ee if
they did attempt to sell if, and man
y times would sell for loss than
they now net by selling nil the time
and yettiffr the anornye price. By
selling orderly and ''ns-inp to .
dump the'p cotton r.ud forcing
prices down, they r t a. bett< r aver
n e prim* than under the oM dump
ing svstem.

Ih. v will yet better th n r-vorajpe

but no one who hr>< the sli id lest
In v,’e r bro of the principles of co
operative commoditv marketin'? of
cotton will expect t esc associations
to ever cot the top price. On the
other hand, they will never cet the
lowest price. They will simply cet
a 1 'ttcr u’-'-age prl?e fo~ t l

( . i .n is. e’ota.R u . at
i ri ers who market in the old m.y-
H is, therefi -e, rank nonser
any member of a cooperative ma>
i keting association to complain that
!he lost $lO, or sls, *>r any ether
! amount er bale, by marketing in* j
S coH o through the cooperative. He
1 can witl the same lack cf reason
i claim that he has lost money every
. . the top price
was i)t * ■' nber of a co
operative.
I ... i., (. claim with tie best c.
reason that ir a. te m of years he
has and will c ntinue to get through
the com rative a better average
pri-e tl nth e outside the assoc:-
•;*ion "and o dump their cotton or. the
market m the fob or cu, *ng
or four monnths. Even last yea’
'those who sold their cotton early
and those who sold it late plot less
than the average and lefc"*fcan>re-.
| ceived bv members of the c over ac-
tives .
The average man outside ts.e as
| sociation cannot sell Ins cotton lor
the ton uricc and those ins.i e have
no reason to assume that they
: could or would have done so. The
average man who is not a member
of a cooperative must sell
when he is toid to dm so by
he owes. He is usually forced to
sell cotton when it is going down
and the "afore seldom gets even the
!average price.
Why do the cooperative associa
tions tk v their members more thsn
the average price? Why do the
l mem bes of these assoc’at ons cet
' more ore year with another than
1 those who sell in the cM way?
First as shown by the Report of
the Federal Trade Conmis icn, ‘t
costs th* 1 coo- eratives less to mar
ket cptton th 5 n it does the mer
chant, or broker under the old syv
t em.
Second, the member cf the co
operative gets paid for the actual
grade of his cotton, while the man
j who sells from the wagon in the
' oM wry gets paid for at least one
! erade lower than Iris cotton actually
is.
A New Year
M-'- tal man is annually inspired with the advent of a New Year,
it i- human nature—and it is pood. For many it has marked a turn
ing point for letter times.
A little Keen study of such lives soon discloses the secret
ct ? ccess. It is energy', plus .vill- to-achieve, plus moderation in
t’aily living, pit- a saving of pait of that acquired.

The member of a cotton coopera
tive marketing association whxr
'• I .' ’* £ * fl 1 ) ' ]'| O has lost money by
marketing his cotton through his
association is simply fooling him
self o'' allowing the enemies of co
operative marketing to fool him.
The only escape from this is for him
to assume that he could or would'
market his cotton Hor 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 and sane plan is
to market it at all times, because
cottcn is used at all times.
