A SUCCESSFUL CO-OPERA
TIVE ASSOCIATI
The Beaufort Truck Growers Asso-
‘ ’ 1 •'
elation.
(By N. L. Willett.)
It has been thoroughly borne intc
the public consciousness that where
large shipments are to be made
year after year from a given locali
ty and are to go into foreign place*
that this must be done not in an in-
ii^idualistic but as aco mmunity af
fair and properly in a cooperative
way. It is utterly impossible to be
gin with, for the individual to know
prices and markets. If a hundred
men are shipping a commodity from
one station it Would be the height
of absurdity for these men' not to
co-operate and appoint a business
manager to do the work.
A Successful Organization.
As an illustration of co-operative
community work I am going to tell
the story of the Beaufrt Truck Grow
ers Assj atnn. The foundations of
ihis asociatior. v ere laid in 1915. It
has recently enlarged its borders
and usefulness. Its membership in
cluded about 80 per cent, of the
truck growers of Beaufort County,
although the acreage was a little bit
less than this 80 per cent. Original
ly the stock was $5,000 but only $1,
000 was actually paid. It was not
ne ossary to call in the remainder
until 1918. On this $5,000 the stock
holders have been receiving ten per
cent dividends. The profits, how
ever, were more than thia ten per
cent. Today the Beaufort Truck
Growers Association amounts to a
totx' of $30,000 or more. Some in-
ves ments have been in an office
building. As a telephone was nec-
e sary, they took ovrr the Beaufort
Telenhone Company, reorganized and
enlarged it and today practically ev-
enr trucker in the county has a tele
phone.
S'wreaafully Managed.
xThe average fixed charge has been
four per cent. This four per cent.
I K^en more than the actual cost
of iHfc work and thia surplus or pro
fits has been given the above accu
mulation of $$0,000. Moreover the
profita have allowed trie association
to refund 50 per cent, to shippera—
thia profit accruing in apite of the
fart of a ton per cent, dividend and
of a big, constantly accumulating
fund. It would be probably hard to
Had in cooperative work a more bril
liant example of good management
a»d a bolter illustration, too, of the
fact that an association of this kind
bad a fine habitat and was badly
needed in the Beaufort section. The
association has had as its energetic
sale* manager Mr. A IV Hare Mr.
W. H. Hull has been its efficient
secretary and treasurur. As one
tflinks of the success of this associa
tion and the Urge amount of truck
that has been annually handled and
of the fine profit* that accrued to all
eoncemej and then turns, in his
thought, as to what would have re
sulted if all of the truckers of (he
county had tried to do this wors in
dividually—one in contrasting these
methods of doing business can see
the utter absurdity of trying to do
community marketing on the theor
em of individualism. It is generally
known that the a»*oeiution, through
its wise distribution of the lettuce
<7op fhis past season, brought a let
tuce profit increase to the county of
between $75,000 and $100,000. This
came because of a wise and proper
distribution of this crop.
Change of Policy.
The Board of Directors have re
cently authorized as follows: viz.,
that all future profits shall go not
into an accumulation fund but shall
be used as “service.” This means
still greater efficiency work on the
part of the association. New mem
bers are to be added. It will allow
more high priced men to work on
the job. Only recently added mem
bership has been made in Hampton,
Colleton and Jasper Counties and
this membership will be extended to
Allendale and Barnwell Counties. | X
The association will pile up no more “
accumulation but all surplus will go,
as 1 have said, into “service;" and
furthermore it will not bd a local
concern. The association hopes to

Navasota, Texas.—Mrs. W. M. Peden,
ol this place, relates the tellovringinterc-st-
ing account ol how she recovered her
strength, having realized that she was
actually losing her health:
"Health is the greatest thing in the
world, and when you feel that gradually
slipping away from you, you certainly sit
up and take notice. That is what I did
some time ago when 1 found myself 4n a
very nervous, run-down condition of
liealth. 1 was so tired and felt so lifeless
I could hardly go at all.
"I was just no account for work. I
would get a bucket of water and would
feel so weak I would have to set it down
before 1 felt like I could lift it to the shelf.
In this condition, of course, to do even
my housework was a task almost im
possible to accomplish.
“1 was . . - nervous and easily upset
1 couldn’t rest well at night and
just lifeless.
"I heard of Cardui and after reading
decided 1 had some female trouble that
was pulling me down, t sent for Cardui
and began it . .
"In a very short while after I began the
Cardui Home Treatment I saw an im
provement and it wasn’t long until I was
all right—good appetite, splendid rest,
and much stronger so that I easily did my
house work.
"Later I took a bottle of Cardui as a
tonic. I can recommend Cardui and glad
ly do so, for if more women knew, it
would save a great deal of worry and
sickness."
The enthusiastic praise of thousands ol
other women who have found Cardui
helpful should convince you that it Is
worth trying. All druggists sell iL
prices.
