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.

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 ter years, prolonging their lives 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 the air passengers that the trains now carry slowly. The Fast and Northeast will send their millions to Florida, file M ’.ile MY st and Northwest wiil scid them to California.

With the firing machine fully developed, all the people of the earth could find beautiful dwell ing places on hills arid mountains now uninhabited. Nothing to worry about, over crowding least of all, if the people combine imagination and common sense.

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.

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.

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. !1 ' n cr i.r't. n, mm: •• is our moth dof exchange.

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.
