C00OPERATIVE CO By J. E. Trevathan, Cot in two preceding letters, which I have written to 'the farmers of Lau rens county, I have discussed briefly the character of organizations which have proved successful In California und elsewhere; and I also named six fundamental iprinciples upon nwhich the plan for the co-operativo cotton marketing organization is based. As a result of co-operative marketing in California, 80 per cent of the farmers of that state made a proflt on their farming operations in 1920 while about 95 per cent of the farmers of South Carolina were losing money by selling ;their Products without any definite :systoin. 'o-operative marketing has proved -successful through a period of years as app.lied to crops other than 1.t1 ton. The farmers very naturally wotld like to know m11ore definitely how co-opera live ma. k t-ing will help the ('attoni farminer, hefore ohe :i 'gns the legal hin d ing coltract to sell11 all lie Cotton le produces through a period of live years through a co-operative eetton market ing association. By a careful read ing of the following paragraiphs of I this letter. you will be able to get aIn idea as to what may be expected (roi a 0-Operative cotton markoting asso -iation. Organ izations liave 1been perfected in four states througlh which cotton is icing sold co-operatively. These stales are OkIahoma, Mississippi. Ar kansas and Texas.

FINA LSETTLEIEMNT Take notice tiat on the 4t day of October, 1921, 1 will render a final aIIotunt of my acts and doings as Ad Miinistrator of ithe estate of J. W. A. llollaid deceased, in the olliev of the Judge of Probate of LTaurens county, at It o'clock, a. Im. and on the satme day will apply for a final discharge from my trust as Administrator.

Mr. Williams states that their or ganization is selling cotton for its members for 2 1-2c per pound more than non-members can -possible get by selling through the regular chan nels. Since the Co-operative Market ing Exchange established headquar ters at Oklahoma City, fourteen big firms have opened oflices at Oklahoma City for the express purpose of buying cotton fromi the organization. Arrangements have been made by Mr. Williams and others whereby the C'o-operative Cotton Alarketing Asso (iations can borrow through the Fed eral Reserve Banks and otherwise as much as $00,000,000 or more as neced ed for the punPose of financing the gradual marketinig of the cotton con trolled by the organizations. The pres cut amount of cott on signed up uind Iin(er tite control of the four organiza tioss of Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas and Okldaloma, is 12 per eitt of theI total in the l'lited Sta tes. This seemsi like a siall proportion of the total crop for it to have anly effect On the cotton larket, yet cotton wenit tp 1c. per pound within two days after the trade journals carried reports of the arrangeime'nts haVintg been mttade With the War Finance Co;loration and New York Hlanks for borrowig the ne(ces sary money for a systematie ma rket ing of that eott 'm. This report was made August 2:1 and crop cond(ition was reported August 25. Of course cotton continued to rise after the crop report was miade. Co-operative marketing of cotton is no longer a theory, but it is some thing that is in successful practice in four big cotton states. DIetailed at rangenents have been worked out to finance the whole movement. The or ganization in Oklahoma lends 60 per cent of the value to the cotton on the day it is idelivered to the organiza tion, either at the warehouse or at the railroad. Detailed arrangements have been worked out tQ protect tite land lord, the cash renter, tie share-cro) per, the mortgagor, and the mortgagee. So that all persons interested in the cotton are fairly and adequately pro teeted by the organization, to the full extent of the sale value of the cotton in wih sich ipartles are interested. em All!i eats to everybody e of the pleasure >enefit It affords. gest-Iasting refresh possible to obtain. :ed tight-kept n Its wax-wrapped Ity'-proof package. 5C Flavor Lasts n9 - I KIDD NOT PIRATE And His Treasure a Fable, Sayi Archivist Massachusetts Authority Asserts Thai Lord Bellomont Was Arch Scoun. drel-High-Placed Adventurers. Song and story are wrong. Captair Kidd was not a pirate-and his fable treasure does not exist. Privateers, man he was, but of good repute. Hl hanging as a pirate and murderer or execution dock at London in 1701 was to satisfy the political exigencies ol the time. These are the findings of John H. Edmonds, state archivist for Massa. chubetts, as announced in a lecture at the old South Meeting house, Archivist Edmonds was discussing "Lord Bellomont and the pirates.' Bellomont, he said, was appointed governor of New England in 105 with a special mission to suppress piracy, "Before leaving England," Mr. Ed monds contended, "lie agreed with Capt. Villiim Kidd, a privateersman of good repute from New York, to procee(l against pirates in a shili called the Adventure, galley, on a 'no capture-no-pay' hasis. The adventurers incll(d Captain Kidd, Robert Liv Ingstonl, Lord Chancellor Somers, the earl of Oxford. ilrst lord of the nd nlraly; the earl of Romney, and the due of Slirewsbu ry, secretarvies of state: Bellonont and the straw men, to whom the king's grant of treasure was later made, did not contribute a cent. "On September 0, 166, with a 'crazy' vessel and a crazier crew, Captain Kidd proceeded on his MIis sion," the archivist sald. "lie picked up several pirates, Including "a 'Moorish ship -of 204) tons and a Ben gal merchantman of 500 tons, both having French passes and being law ful Prizes." ie came to New York and then to Boston "through the trickery of Bello mont, who promised him safe con dluct. With the remnant of his crew he was arrested, sent to IEngland, tried for murder and piracy, convicted and hung on E'xecution (lock Friday, May 23, 1701., to satisfy the political ex Igencies of the times. "It was either Lord Bellomont, the lord chancellor, the first lord of the ndmiralty, the secretaries of state or Captain Kidd, and under this circum stance lie had no chance. Collusion and perjury are plainly evident in his trial; the French passes which would have cleared him of the piracy charge, though produced in parliament, were suppressed in the Admiralty court The least said nhout Bellomont's ac tion in the 'matter the better. He fooled Kidd, he fooled his council, and the worst of it is, he allowed it in his letters to the lords of trade. "Tihe Captain Kidd of today is a composite pirate made up of all who frequented our shores from 1=37 to 1837. Propaganda of the worst kind blackened the reputation of a man of whom a recognized French author ity says: 'It may he well doubted whether any man in equrally trying circumstances has ever been truer to his trust.' "And yet the great American public persists in enlling Captain Kiod a pirate and in senrbing for his treas ure, which does not exist." "Boy" Behind the VoIce. A business man who was in a great hurry cal led up an establishment thati harl faliledu to deli ver' goods as ordered., A tiny hoylsh voice was heard at the other end of the line: "What is it that you wish?" "Alr. Jonies, boy, and hurry." "All right," arnd the receiver was hung up. In a f'ew minutes it was taken doiwn and the small v'oice re plied : "AMr. Jones is not in. Can I help you'?" "See here, boy," snappied the mari who was in a hurry. "I want to talk~ with some one who can (10 busIness. When I need the oflce boy I will call for him. The way for you to get along is to let the other things a lone arma attend to your own dluties." "That's what I nam trying to do,' nw'ekly said the snmall voice, "I an the president of the company"-Phil. ndlelpia I .edger. Isolated Police Post. 4. new farthest north Rloyal Cana, drgn mouhtedi police post has been established at Pond's inlet in the ex treme north of Bauli's land, Thi.1 is now the most northerly post held by the force of scarlet riders, th( nearest to it being those at Chester field inlet and Cape Buarwell, ait the entrance of hirrdson's straits.

Only a felv E~skimor are to be found there and it Is the occasional por't of call for traders. Logical. Six-year-old Neille came home fron the corner much excited. "Oh, moth. er," she l'egarn.
