Congressman Goodwin Would Have National
Marketing Commission Created
Congressman W. S. Goodwin of
this district, introduced in the
house a joint resolution calling for
the appointment of a National
Marketing Commission. The con -
mission is to be composed of seven
members appointed by the presi
dent. Provision is made for the
creation of county marketing
boards by the application of 25
producers to the national .commis
sion when one-third of the coun
ties of the state have secured their
charters. The state may apply for
a state charter and when 20 states
have their charters they may elect
delegates who will compose a
National Chamber of Agriculture
This chamber will then succeed
the national commission.
The duty of the national cham
ber, as well as state and county
chambers, will be to advise the
producers of the best methods of
marketing their supplies, and to in
form the consumer of the nearest
and best market.
While the principal work of the
national commission will be tq dis
tribute information and to inform
and instruct the various organiza
tions of the proper methods of or
ganizing the National Chamber
of Commerce, it will take up the
actual work of distributing produce.
This resolution is a revision of a
measure introduced by Congress
man Goodwin in the Sixty-third
Congress. It was introduced sim
ultaneously in the Senate at the
time by Senator Fletcher.

Insurance Policy for Uncertain Cotton Market
1. A home garden for every
family to provide vegetables as
near as possiole the year round and
additional ground for a plot of po
tatoes, either Irish or svtreet, or
both. Raise sorghum or cane
enough for the syrup of the family.
2. Produce the corn necessary
to support the family and the live
stock on the farm for a year with
absolute certainly.
3. Produce the necessary oats
or other small grain to supplement
the corn as food and for winter
grazing.
4. Produce enough hay and
forage to supply all your live stock

get the legumes, because they pro
duce hay and also enrich the soil.
5. Produce enough chickens
and hogs to supply the meat for the

stock gradually, but insure your
meat supply with these.
fame.
What is less enduring than the
fame of the “popular” man. The
world moves so quickly these days,
that it is only the trulv great that
can survive. A few years ago—
^ even a few months ago Lord
» Kitchener was the idol of the Eng
lish people. Today he is almost a
daily target for their wrath. The
world rang with the fame of Grand
Duke Nicholas of Russia. Today
his name is not on the lips of any
nation. Recently John Paul Jones
and Alexander Hamit'on were de
nied a place in the Hall of Fame,
although a niche was found for
Charlotte Cushman, the actress.
Who are our own heroes of today
and where will they be ten years
hence? __
Paper from Grass.
The department of agriculture
has been experimenting on making
paper from grass. This grass
grows on the Pacific slope and in ,
western Mexico. So far the re
sults of the trials have been very
good. The paper is a first-gr de, !
m ichine-finished printing paper,
satisfactory in appearance and feel
ing. The process is a simpler one
than making paper from wood pulp.
:>ne operation being omitted. It
takes a little more bleaching pow
fer than popular stock does.
If wire grass is used for paper
making on a large scale it will j
mean a big help in forest conserv- 1
ition. At present wood in the
Jnited States is being used about!

LETTER OF INTRODUCTION
Of Mr. and Mrs. Hinckley, the
New Managers of the

The Following is a. Clipping from the El Dorado News,
El Dorado Springs, Missouri:
PURYEAR-HINCKLEY.
“A very pretty home wedding cc
cured at 1 1 o'clock Wednesday
night at the summer cottage of
Mrs. Brasher on north Main street,
when Mrs, Clara Puryear and Mr.
A. L. Hinckley plighted their troths
and united their future fortunes.
“Rev. C. E. Hargis, pastor of the
M. E. Church South, officiated.
“The bride is a daughter of the
Rev. Doctor Wohlgemuth of Louis
ville, Ky. Mrs. Puryear comes of
a Southern family of exceptionally
high standing and is well known in
many states. She has traveled
abroad and is highly educated and
cultured, she speaks fluently sev
era! different languages.
"Mrs. Puryear has a son. Rich- 1
ard. in Wheeling, W. V.. who holds
a good position with Wheeling Cor
rugating Co.
"Mr. Hinckley, the groom, is a ■
musician of exceptional talent and i
ability playing seven different in- j
struments and seems well worthy |
of the lady of his choice.
"Only a few of the intimate
friends of the contracting parties
witnessed the ceremony. After
the ceremony Mrs. Brasher served
a dainty lunch to the wedding party
"The News extends hearty con
gratulations to the happy couple.”
In behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Hincklev Seaman &. Seaman wish to say
that the above people come to us very highly recommended both from

tion catch up with the demand.
The use of wire grass in paper
manufacture would not only save a
vast amount of wood pulp each
year, but by so doing would assist
in keeping down the price of paper.

People will think then that you can

cessful and so prosperous that you
can see only good in everything
It is the man with the petty griev
ance—the small man who knocks.
Remember that, and try to be
above small things. A good deal
of feudal idea still remains. The
ancient lords could afford to be
magnanimous. Their motto was
“Noblesse oblige.” Their nobility j
gavd them certain responsibilities
They were the leaders. People
looked up to them and depended on
them. That “Nobietse oblige" is a
good motto to adopt to
day, even when there are no here
ditary lords. It is a motto that the
everyday man can adopt and profit
by. if you keep boosting every

shore, and talked with Poe of Lost
Lenore. 1 gossiped wiln the famed

their freight from mundane scenes,
and left renown which passing ages
'annot down. I talked with
Shakespeare, Pope and Scott, and
all they said was blooming rot.
rhe Bard of Avon talked away of

monies at the Blue Boar Inn. and
ubricate his works with gin. The

tances he used to swim. At d

HOW MODERN YEGG WORKS 1
Up-to-Date Thief Would Scorn to Use
the "Jimmy” Employed by
His Predecessors.
In the American Magazine is an
exceedingly interesting story entitled.
‘‘A Fool and His Money," which has j j
been written by a sixty-year-old crook *
who has earned a dishonest but com- |
fortable living for 30 years. Follow
ing is an extract in which the author ;
describes a “gentleman burglar:”
“He was young and handsome, an
excellent dancer, and always dressed
to the minute. The women were only
too glad to get the chance to dance
with him. and ho made many appoint
ments of which their husbands or
parents at home knew nothing. He
did thing on an elegant scale, and
would escort his admiring dance part
ner home each night, using a taxi, of
course.
‘‘At the door he would take the
night key of the lady and open for
her. Generally there would be a chat
on the front stoop, and at its close the
admirable dancer would depart, tak
ing the key with him. If the robbery
of the house promised good loot and
the .lady was thoughtful enough to ask
for her key he would return it. hut
on the next night of appointment he
would make a quick Impression of the
key in soft wax.
“In evening clothes and opera hat
this burglar-dancer would ride up to
the house in a taxi in the early hours
of the morning, and before the very
eyes of the cop on the beat enter the
house and proceed about his business
of collecting the family silver atnl
cash. He robbed a dozen and more
houses and apartments in the West
side before he was trapped- He put
up a fight and was shot twice before '
be surrendered- His career made a
mild yellow Journal sensation for a
day or two.”___ .. —.1
