COOPERATION BOOSTS EGG
PRICE 5 CENTS A DOZEN
jfr ‘
(From Farming.)
Members of the Calvert City Egg
Marketing Association, in Marshall
county, Ky., have received an aver
age of almost five cent a dozen
above local prices of eggs in their
section of t atehse shrshrdshrdlusd
section of the state for 2100 dozens
they have sold through the associa
tion in the last three months, accord
ing to Dana G. Card, marketing spec
ialist of the Kentuck College of Agri
culture, who helped lay plans for the
association and get it started.
Net prices received for the eggs
have ranged from a half to 13 cents
a dozen above local prices in Culvert
City. This has brought the members
of the association a total of nearly
SIOO more for ther eggs than would
have been received had it not been
for the organization. Some fowls
also have been marketed through the
association at a saving of three and
a half cents a pound. Charles Dun
can, vice president, who also has act
ed a mananger, is given credit for
much of the success attained.
All eggs received by the association
are carefully graded and packed be
fore being shipped to market. Dirty,
small and low grade eggs have been
sold in mid-western markets, only
the first class eggs being shipped
east. Lititle extra effort is required
to produce high quality eggs and by
marketing them in case lots of uni
form grade, size, color and quality,
more satisfactory prices can be
obtained, Mr. Card points out.
Aside from the better price which
members of the association have re
ceived for their eggs, the organiza
tion is doing much to improve
general poultry practices in that
section of the state, according to
those who are in touch with it. Since
it started operating, a marked in
terest has been developed in econo
nomical production, in housing and
feeding of laying hens and improved
methods of production high quality
eggs. This ia in line with the princi
ple that the benefits of cooperative
marketing are not in better prices or
better markting methods alone, but
also include improvement in produc
tion methvds.
DIVIDING THE WESTERN CIR
CUIT.
The division of the Western cri
cuit by the creation of the Piedmont
circuit, was Most timely and just.
Heretofore the judge of the Western
circuit, with seven counties to serve,
has found it impossible to keep the
wheels of the court from clogging
with important matters which should
have received the attention of the
court. Nothwithsanding, he regular*
terras of court in the various coun
ties called for forty weeks of court
session out of the fifty-two weeks in
each year, the judge was called upon
to hold court at chambers every Sat
urday besides the hearing of injunc
tions and special appeals. The ‘work
in the old circuit was more than any
one judge could dispatch and it was
due the public, if not the court of
ficials, that teh circuit should be re
duced to a reasonable population in
order that important cases might be
tried and disposed of with more
promptness.
The Western circuit now has
Clarke, Oconee and Walton counties
with a population of practically one
hundred thousand. The amount of
business in the Superior Court from
Athens and Clarke county would
make up a reasonable year’s work,
but with the two counties added the
work will be alf that could be ex
pected of one judge to dispatch.
The members of the legislature
acted wisely in creating the new cir
cuit which will be a large one in it
self. This circuit will have Gwin
nett, Barrow, Jackson and Banks
counties, Jackon and Gwinnett be
ing two of the largest counties in the
State. There is much court business
in all of these counties and the
judge, whoever he may be, will find
that the Piedmont circuit will occu
py his time and attention every day
during the year.
The Western circuit has in Judge
Blanton Fortson a most affable gen
tleman and an able and conscientious
jurist who believes in fair treatment
to all, irrespective of their station
in life. He has made a most popular
jpdge and in the counties which have
been taken for the creation of the
new circuit, the people will regret to
lose the association of the knid and
genial Judge Fortson. —Athens Ban

FIXING THE STATUS OF
CHILDREN BORN AT SEA
Washington, August 2.—ls a babf
is born to Russian parents on a
French boat traveling to the United
States, what nationality is it?
The question has been of import
ance, because if the infant happens
to be considered of a nationality the
quote of which is exhausted, it could,
undei the law, be excluded from the
United States.
The commissioner if immigration
at the Port of New York, decided
that babies born at sea assume
the nationality of their mothers, and
that the family of an arriving for
eign musical artist might land com
fortably in New York pending a lat
»- hearing at Ellis Island immigra
tion station.
Sofia Presygon, who first saw light
aboard the Red Star liner “Lapland”
on July 18th, and Irene Troyanoski,
who was bom on the “Belgianland”
on July 4th, both of Polish parents,
because of the ruling, will be allowed
to leave Ellis Island.
Too large crowds of aliens at Ellis
Island awaiting deportation are
blamed on the steamship companies
by W. W. Husband, commissioner
general of immigration.
He declared the blame was theirs
Buying Power in Small Towns
Politicians who doubt where the strength of America lies
should examine the report made from a survey of thirteen north
central states in relation to farm and town trade.
It is found that in towns of 2,000 or less population, the
farm trade represents about 76 per cent of the total. In dry
goods it represents 80 per cent; in hardware 85 per cent; in
building material 80 per cent; in furniture 70 per cent, and in
clothing 68 per cent.
Automobiles are sold in these small towns to the extent of
80 per cent of total consumption. These figures are startling
and they run only slightly lower in towns of from 2,000 to
25,000. The small town consumption is more than fifty per
eent in every line.
This survey shows where the market lies for American man
ufactured goods. It emphasizes again the importance of national
legislators looking after the interest of the fanner. The farmer
is awakening to a sense of his strength politically and econom
ically. Unless he receives more serious consideration he is likely
to prove a troublesome factor.
The writing is on the wall. Politicians both in the states
and in the nation should keep their ears to the ground. The
voice of the home town is well worth listening to.
Good Roads and Competition
Community building is beset with more puzzling problems
than one might suppose. Perhaps one of the most difficult of
solution being the problem created by the extension of good
roads.
The world admits good roads spell the development of
America, the spread of education and a better understanding
among neighbors. There has been much difference of opinion,
however, as to whether villages are first built by stores attract
ing residents or by increasing residents attracting stores.
Whichever theory may be correct the fact remains that the
growth of any community depends very largely on the pros
perity of its trading section.
Some viftages are so situated geographically that good roads
simply open up an easy avenue for trade to go out of town.
Then there is an element of danger in such thoroughfares which
must be balanced of course by the advantages derived by the
farmer.
The lesson of course is obvious. The extension of good roads
never can be halted, nor is it wise that they should be. But
their building means that local merchants must come to know
more of merchandising, that they must take the home-town
folks more into their confidence and show them conclusively
they can trade at home advantageously.
The competition in the small town is not between store
keeper and storekeeper, but between town *nd village, between
city and tow;. The little fellow has his place, but he must
be awake to his responsibility.

PIG PEN, GIRL
SEES THRILLING
SIGHTS MONDAY
El Paso, Texas, —Thirteen year old
Louisa Chaven, who has spent ten
years of her life in a pig pin at the
mercy of a heartless stepmother, be
gan a thrilling experience Monday,
when for the first time she saw the
green parks and big buildings in a

Louisa, stared in amazement at
the automobiles, grass and flowers
and the big buildings, or “casa grand

MOTHER’S THRONE
A great deal is being said and
written about woman’s position.
Superficial men and women are talk
ing about the broader field for wo
men, about woman’s opportunities,
about her equality with man, and
about her rights. It would be most
difficult to find a series at subjects
more disgusting, more superfldsl
and inimical to woman's position.
It may be that some poor, neglect
ed, long-suffering end over-burdened
wife bss listened to the siren’s song
of the larger liberties of woman.
She no doubt longs for tbs day when
she can open the front gats and
stroll the sidewalks of unimpeded
female liberty.
It may be theee sentiments wens
born In the brain of some mascultas
ly inclined women. They have
watched their poor degenerate
brothers marching forth as prodigal
sons, and wondered why they could
not have the same rights.
Whether these subjects are dis
cussed seriously or frivolously, all
will be compelled to arrive at the
conclusion that the highest, broad
est, deepest and grandest place on
earth is woman's indestructible
throne —Home, sweet Home.
Tou cannot send women to the
fields without neglecting the front
door of God's mansion—Home, sweet
Home. You cannot put women in
the positions of masculine competi
tion without turning the children
over to the juvenile court and the
cold charity of the state. You can
not put women in competition with
men and continue to populate the
earth. You cannot find a substitute

The hour is the whole thing. For

may invite the boy in whether her

the other hand, they have gone to

STATISTICS ON AUTO
SHOW BIG GROWTH
Atlanta, Ga„ August 6.—ln the
automobile and moving picture indus
tries the present generation has had
the privilege of seeing the most
amazing development recorded in
the industrial history of the world.
According to figures compiled *by
a national organization, now in pos
session of the Atlanta chamber of
commerce, 2,561,000 automobiles
were produced in the United States
in 1922 and 100J)00 more passenger
cars and trucks were turned out in
the Canadian plants owned by citi
zens of the United States. This pro
duction tops the previous high fig
ure, reached in 1920, when 2,205,197
American passenger and commercial
vehicles were produced.
It is estimated that in 1922 there
were in U3e in the United States
10,386,389 passenger automobiles.
There was, in other words, one pas
senger automobile to every eleven
pers'-ns living in the United States.
There were 3,200,000 passenger cars
on the farms, which amounts to an
average of one ear to every two
farms.
These figures repeal the universal
use of the automobile in this coun
try. At the present rate, automobile
men say, it will be only a few years
until the proportion at passenger
car 3 in the United States will have
stepped up from the present one to
eleven, to one to four nr five. That
would mean an average of a motor
car for every family in the country.
A good idea of the growth i:f the
automobile industry may be had
from the fact that only five years
ago the proportion was tone motor
car to twenty-one of population. Ten
years ago it was one to 100.

CROP CONDITIONS IN GEORGIA
TOR WEEK ENDING AUGUST 7
Atlanta, Ga., August B.—During
the past week temperatures were not
excessively higji in Georgia, there
was considerable cloudiness and very
irregularly distributed showers,
which were too frequent in the south,
especially in scuthwestern Georgia,
and insufficient in northern
counties, where drought may be said
still to prevail. As a rule, however,
over much of the state the week was
favorable, and moderate improvement
in most crops took place.
Cotton made fairly good vrowth n
the contral-northern portion, where
it appears generally to be fruiting
very well; weevil activity also is net
great in the central-eastern portion;
in the southwest there has been de
terioration in cotton and much shed
ding due to the frequency of showers,
with weevil activity on the increase.
Cotton is now opening in the south
ern division, and the first bale of
Georgia cotton was marketed August
4. Cotton as a rule is in a fairly
good state of cultivation, except in
the southwest.
Early and upland corn is nearly
mature; the crop was injured by
drought in a good many njo-herr.
counties, and there are still many
sections where showers would be
beneficial for this Crop: late and
lowland corn now in silk and tassel
and earing fairly well would be im
proved by showers in the north and
drier weather in the south.
Cures of tobacco continue good and
tobacco markets are very active.
Rice, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and
cane have more or less improved
where kept well cultivated. Planting
Irish potatoes and fall truck con
tinues. Hay crops are doing well
where not too dry. The bulk of the
peach shipments have been made and
the season is approaching the end.

PRESIDENT HARDING WAS
HIGH DEGREE MASON
Washington, D. C., August 9.
'“The passing of President Harding is
a national calamity,” said Hon. John
H. Cowles, grand commander, Scot
tish rite, southern jurisdiction. “His
death at thi s time of crisis fn inter
national affairs is bound to have far
reaching consequences, the full effect
of which time only will reveal.
“As Masons we are primarily in
terested in a man’s character, and
while citizens honestly disagree con
cerning national policies, there is a
unanimous conviction that in all
those qualities of heart and mind
that constitute sterling manhood,
the late president was pre-eminent.
Of unimpeachable integrity, of no
blest patriotism, of gentle and kind
ly personality, President Harding
stands out a typical American, of
whom the nation may well be proud.
He is the example of high principled
manhood we like to hold before our
boys for emulation.
“Such men as he reflect honor up
on the Masonic fraternity, and fur
nish an inspiration to us who remain
to be truer to our ideals and more
worthy of the privilege and obliga
tions of the Master Mascn.”
President Harding was raised a
Master Mason in Marion, 0., August
27, 1920.
In the following year he received
the degrees of Mark Master, Past
and Most Excellent Master and Royal
Arch Mason in the Marion bodies of
the York rite.
The Scottish rite degrees were
conferred upon him by Scioto Con
sistory, Columbus, 0., on January 5,
1921, before a large and distin
guished gathering of Masons.
Vhe supreme council of the north
ern jurisdiction elected him to re
ceive the thirty-third degree .on Sep
tember, 1921, the actual investiture
to take place in September, 1922.
The illness of Mrs. Harding prevent
ed the fulfillment of these intentions,
and plans had been completed for the
investiture at the meeting of the su
preme council in New York next
month.
President Harding was a member
of Aladdin Temple, Mystic Shrine, of
Columbus, 0., and was <the recipient
of unusual honors upon the occasion
of the Shrine convention in Washing
ton last June). The president en
tered heartily into the festive spirit
cf the gathering and not only par
ticipated in the formal meetings of
the convention, but joined the
merry-makers in the evenings on
Pennsylvania avenue, mingling in a
most happy and democratic manner
with, the throngs of fellow-Shriners.
Albert Pike Masonic lodge, - No. 36,
of Washington, D. C., made him an
honorary life member on April 4,
1921, and presented him with a gold
card of membership.
Banks Meet Legitimate Demands.
If every eligible state bank in the
Sixth Federal Reserve district were
a member of the Federal Reserve
System, no responsible farmer or
merchant would ever suffer through
lack of credit to meet his legitimate
demands.
The foregoing opinion was ex
pressed by leading Atlanta bankers
in discussing the agricultural out
look with agriculturists.
“Let us see to it, therefore, that
the farmer is put in a position where
he can borrow money at reasonable
rates, and that the means for em
ploying thi s vast reservoir of credit
is put at his disposal,” was the ad
vice of ,cne leading banker.
U is pointed out that the farmer
musts necessarily obtain his credi?
from what bankers might term the
point of contact or the point cf dis
tribution—that is—the country bank.

Federal Reserve banks—and the Fed
