He began his edu- , cation in the Mason City public j schools, continued his studies at Milton Military Academy at Milton, j Mass., and finished at Harvard in , 1911. Then for five years he worked , as a teller in his father's bank here. t MacNider went to the Mexican bor- ( der in 1916 as a first lieutenant in the \ Iowa National Guard. When the war , came, he resigned his commission witl , the National Guard in order to attend the firt officers training camp at Fort j Snelling in May, 1917. He was given a provisional second lieutenancy in , the regular army and assigned to the J Ninth Infantry, which with the Twenty-third, made up the regular army j brigade of the Second division. t Soon after arriving in France in < SeDtemhor. 1017 ? . , jLuavmuci WUi sent to the army candidates school at j Langres as an instructor.

Booker, secretary "of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative As-| sociation yesterday on his return from Atlanta, where he attended a| meeting of representatives of the state-wide association now being formed. Already associations have been formed and are handling this year's ^rop in Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi smd Arizona. The organization of the \orth Carolina association has been completed but no attempt was made to handle this year's crop since the minimum number of bales was not signed in time for that. ivir. Booker said that Arkansas ex ?ects to sign its minimum number of aies by January 1, 1922. Georgia ixpects to secure its minimum by \pril 1, nexf. The campaign is just etling under way in Alabama, Lousiana and Tennessee. In South Car>lina it is expected to sign the 400,)00 bales necessary to perfect the organization of the association by June I, next. "The officials of the Texas associa.ion which i3 already in business were .'ery enthusiastic over the results in bat state," said Mr. Booker. "They lave statistics to prove that the mem)ers of the association are getting on in avernge of from $8 to $15 more )er bale for their cotton than nonnembers. The result is quite naturilly that many who are not members ire now seeking to join the associa,ion and will sell their next year's :rop. The same is true in Oklahoma. 4ot only are the farmers of those itates enthusiastic over the workings if the associaion but the business men ind bankers are also delighted. So lelighted are the farmers and busiless men of Texas with the operaions of the cotton cooperative associition that they are now organizing ooperative association for their other arm products. Cooperative marketng is the dominant idea in that state. "Delight was expressed by the representatives from the other states are he progress being made in the South Carolina camnaiirn." low Beef Feeding Pays Better Than Selling Grain An investigation into methods and :osts of beef production in the corn >elt, conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture, covering three years, and 906 farms, shows interesting facts concerning the present status of the industry. The man who feeds cattle is marketing his crops as he feeds them, and, therefore, is justified in expecting a return equivalent to average market prices for the feeds. Even if he sometimes falls short of such a return, he has not necjssarily experienced a loss. The corn belt farmer who sells grain sometimes receives more for his crop than the one who feeds it to cattle, but on the average, for a period of years, ex:ept in certain limited areas, the man vho puts the feed into steers and returns the manure to the land is the >ne who comes out ahead. The contusion is based on feeding in Iowa, Trwl i o rt n TIIImaIO obo o r?rl \f t e* LiiuiwiiWf Aivwiniinn MIIVI IUIO* iouri. The figures which contain the results of this investigation were obained from a large number of farms ind from several agricultural experiment stations in the Middle West.

S3.?Recent decision at the polls on the part of Detroit voters to oust the Detroit Unite,! Railway from parts of Woodward avenue and Fort street, two of the city's most important thoroughfares, marked another step in the long fight for a eomp'ete municipal street railway 1 system. | Controversy between the Detroit United Railway and the city has been almost continuous for more than two decades the fight cropping out at all municipal elections in one form or another. This struggle reached its height some time ago when the voters approved a proposal for a municipal railway system to compete with the railway company. The approval was contested by the Detroit United, however, the company carrying the fight to the United States supreme court on the grounds of illegality in the election, but the city was upheld. The latest angle of the traction fight had its inception more recently, when the city offered the Detroit United Railway $383,000 for its tracks and overhead equipment on the Fort street and Woodward avenue lines. The company refused this offer, declaring it would tear up the tracks rather thnn disnnnp nf ftw ? -?>?* vnvtit xv?*. ouv.ii a num. Franchises held by the company on these lines had expired and Mayor James Couzens, champion of municipal ownership, submitted the ouster amendment to the voters at the recent election. The voters upheld the mayor by almost a two to one vote. The ordinance requires the company to discontinue service on the two lines in question by about November 25 and A. F. Edwards, the traction organization's vice-president, announced as soon as the results of the election became known that such action would be taken. Ninety additional days ai-e granted the company to remove its tracks and trolley wires. Although Mayor Couzens has not announced his plans for meeting the transportation problem that will arise if service is suspended, it is known the city expects to depend upon busses and jitneys during the period of several months" required to lay municipal tracks. Woodward avenue is described by local police authorities as the most congested city street in the world. Detroit has no rapid transit, depending upon street cars, motor busses and jitney busses to move its population. As a large number of street railway lines center in Woodward avenue the traffic congestion resulting has placed a burden upon the police department's! traffic department. To overcome this j congestion the proposal has been made that the city lay its municipal tracks on avenues near Woodward and thus leave the city's chief thoroughfare free for vehicular traffic. No definite | decision has been made regarding this matter, however. The Woodward avenue street car lines at prsent extend through Highland Park, an exclusive Detroit suburb that also contains several important automobile plants. That part of Fort street from which the Detroit United Railways must remove its tracks extends from Artillery avenue to the heart of the city, a distance of approximately four miles. Several automobile plants are located in the Fort street district beyond Artillery avenue. The Detroit United has announced it would attempt to reroute its cars on the Woodward and Fort street lines, bringing them into the downtown district over roundabout routes. Ousting of the Detroit United Rail ways from these two streets will add about seven miles to the municipal railway system, that now comprises approximately 100 miles of tracking. Franchises on other Detroit United Railway lines will expire within the next few years. Nearly 28,000 Miles of Road Constructed Road building has recovered from the setback received during the war, and prospects are bright for the fu ture. Approximately 14,000 miles of road have been constructed during the present season by the states in conjunction with Federal aid, according to the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, and probably an equal amount inde pendent of Federal aid. More miles of improved road have been built than during any other year. Costs of road grading and construction with local materials is down practically to the 1914 level. Some reductions, also, have been made in freight rates on road materials. The importance of this item is shown by the fact that in some cases it has been estimated that increased freight rates have added 10 per cent to the cost of a road. Prices of manufactured road materials tend downward; the present level is materially lower than that of a year ago. With the new appropriation by Congress of $75,000,000, added impetus will be given to new road construction. Many of the states are considering enlarged amounts of state aid, and the new law will have a tendency to encourage this policy. It will also secure the construction of a system of interstate and hazard selection of roaafl as in some cases in the past. The meeting of the Asociation of State Highway Officials to be held in Omaha, Nebr., December 5 to 12, will be devoted largely to the discussion of ways end means of complying with the new law and getting construction | under way. \ Prominent Younjf Men Enter Politics ? New York, Nov. 24.?The recent J elections started two members of noted New York families on political careers. ' N One was Frederick Trubee Davidson, son of Henry P. Davidson, Morgan partner, and the other John Griswold Webb, whose grandfather, the late John A. Griswold, Troy capitalist, furnished the money with which John Ericsson built the Monitor during the Civil War. Davidson was elected to the Assembly from Nassau County to till the seat occupied by Theodore Roose\clt, now Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He was opposed by Fontaine Taliaferro, a war veteran who, like himself, possessed an enviab.e record. Webb was also elected to the Assembly, but from Dutchess county. He is a nephew of Dr. Will am Seward Webb, who married one of the daughters of the late William II. Vanderbilt. He was graduated f o.rt Yale in 1913. Both young men have a keen ta3te for politics. Davidson, who is the son-in-law of Rev. Endicott Peabody, headmaster of Groton School and once his mentor,, recently announced that he would much rather enter politics than become eventually a member of a banking firm. The United States is now using one half of the world's supply of white paper, amounting to 5,500,000 cords of pulp wood annually. Land Sale % State of South Carolina, County of Union.
