SAFE AS A BANK
Marketing Association Oper
ates on Same Principle
A commodity pool is besl
explained by comparison wihl
a bank. A bank deals in mon
ey as a commodity and its
stock is made up in the com
modity in which it deals—
money. The stockhloder no
longer controls the money
that he pays for the stock, but
has interest in the whole pool
—that is the capital of the
bank in proportion to the
amount he has paid in.
In our Cotton Association,
the commodity dealt in is cot
ton, the capital is paid for in
cotton. This cotton is no long
er under the control or owner
ship of the subscriber but be
longs to the pool and the indi
vidual has an interest in the
same in proportion to the
amount and grade of the cot
ton which he delivers to the
pool.
The stockholder in the first
case and the subscriber in the
second votes for directors who
elect officers and hire employ
ees to handle the commodity
in which the concerns deal.
Those employees and officials
are under bond and are under
the control of the board of di
rectors as a whole. Also
there are in the first case, and
will be in the second, auditings
by both private and public
auditors. This furnishes addi
tional security to the stock
holder or subscriber that his
interest will be protected at
all points.
At a meeting of the Magness

to form a Sweet Potato Grow

start was made in getting
pledges for acreage and sever

PROFIT ABLE MEETING
OF TEACHERS HELD
Meeting at Batesville Last Sat
urday Well Attended and
Very Interesting
The county teachers met at
the high school building in
Batesville, Saturday, Dec. 3.
for their second quarterly
meeting of the school year,
and had a day’s interesting
discussion of educational prob
lems confronting our county.
Despite the inclemency of the
weather, teachers from both
sides of the river were present
to the number of eighty four.
Probably the most far
reaching questions discussed
were those concerning the
compulsory school law, the
teachers reading circle work
and the organization of a
county athletic and literary
association.
County Supt. W. T. Jerni
gan had the support of all
teachers present in asking that
reports of non-attendance be
sent in to him promptly .This
is absolutely essential to learn
ing our status with reference
to percent of enrollment and
attendance, and all teachers
should cheerfully get up such
statistics remembering the
maxim “He who never does
more than he is paid for will
' never be paid for more than
he does.”
The County has been divid
ed into ten districts by the
• county superintendent for the
; purpose of accomplishing
• something definite in the way
■ of reading circle work. In
■ each of these districts a cer
' tain teacher selected by the
• County Superintendent will
have charge of the reading
circle work and will conduct
regular class readings and
• discussions. Supt. Jernigan is
now working out details of
this plan and he will notify
group leaders as to duties and
place of meeting.

might say that Mr. J. K. Raw
lings will be group leader for
all those who elect Newark
as their most convenient meet
ing place. Mr. Rawlings will
assign definite work to each
teacher of his group and will
hold each one responsible for
the report on such assignments
giving credit to all who do
such work astisfactorily. For
example, he might assign Mc
Kinley Huddleston, of Scott
School, the subject, “Mechan
ical Aids in Teaching Arith
metic.” Then Mr. Huddles
ton. after careful study from
some standard text and from
his own experiences appear
before the group of teachers
and make a report on his as
signment.
Through the organization of
athletic and literary associa
tions it is hoped to engender
a feeling of common denpen
dence and mutual helpfulness
between the many schools of
our county, both rural and ur
ban. Futrhermore it should
be instrumental in developing
that spirit of enthusiasm so
essential to good scholarship.
Moreover such associations
will be magnets to attract
bright boys and girls to school
thus becoming one great fac
tor in solving the compulsory
school law.
A Committee is now work
ing out the details of this ar
ganization project, the report
of which will be published
soon. If necessary a special
meeting of teachers may be
called late in January to com
plete this organization.
