V . X X The editor of The Press and Stan dard acknowledges, with thanks the receipt of. k ewpy of a new book Just off the press—' r How' Farmers Co operate and Double Profits." Mr. Poe la editor of The 1 Progressive Farmer and one of the South's lead ing thinkers. * A practical guide-book »b the whole big subject of rural co-opera tion—that's what Dr. Poe'snew book is. And while ft Is as full of information as an egg is of meat. It Is at the same time as Interesting and readable as a novel. For It . Is essentially a book ojT -♦orles—-true stories of actual ex perience of farmers’ co-operative so cieties in our own West. South, and East, and also In Europe, notably Ireland and Denmark. '* And the author visited all these places and made a personal first hand study of the achievements he reports. Mistakes and failures are recorded aa well as successes, and farmers will find throughout the book danger signs showing paths to avoid as m4n as friendly guidance into roads thal are safe. • The chap ters on how to organise co-operat ive societies, what sort of by-laws, rules and regulations to. adopt, par- i llamentary rules, etc., will also be found Invaluable to most farmer readera—Information based upon the accumulated experience of manv separate groups. In short, we have here, is the era. not legitimate producers. Towns are the natural Evolution and our- gsowtb of necessity—places to store and distribute the world's surplus products through the channels • of confmerce. There is but one road to permanent city building—that roa.l leads to the farm. Business is «d sympathetic, so sensitive to crop production, thatnuhi forecast of a •oor wheat or corn crop affects the markets of th* world. . When the harvest fields smile, towns wax fat. and factories Increase the pay roll. Torn, wheat, hay. beef, pork, and poultry—these are the soil builders, the home builders, the builders of great cities. The old fashioned Chamber of Commerce, .with its cash bonoses and free factories. Is rapidly pass- <B ff away. Instead of grabbing bas- ‘“■s from each other, towns are be ginning to look to the country, out In the fields of growing corn and wheat anil hay.

DISOKDERI.V HABIT*. This newspaper has previously re marked on the common hahlt \ of throwing away on the street the paper bags in which fruit, candy, peanuts, etc., were purchased. An other slovenly and offensive trick Ir the ^abjjt. of tearing up letters and aratterthg the‘ scraps over the walks. Some one has to pick ' 'up these pieces bit by bit If the street Is ever to look clean. */ Probah)y the only way to get at this disorderly spirit Is iti the ~ long -Mu> through the schools. Every school room ought to have a regular t lesson each -spring, and perhaps several limes a year, on the public value of ntfktness. The children should be told that dirty street* make the town less attractive ‘o strangers, make people less likely to come here to live, that they depress the value Pf real estate, and-thtlk work against the prosperity and comfort of every family.. The above Is from The Eaaton. rPa > s're^ Presr. but fs wo antdion- Me to Walterberf* that we reproduce i along The Treatio.n Idea." .which says there Is no difference be tween the man who waiks a block for bis mall and the man who drives several miles. This organisation has' a motto: "Get acquainted with your neighbor—you might like him." - . * TO WHICH CLASS. The editor of The „ Press and •'Standard has been trying for some time to arrive si a satisfactory diag nosis of certain citizens of a town not a hundred miles away from Waltqrboro. especially those of one particular type. We shall try- to paint a word picture of this partlcu- lav type of citizen and If any of our readers should chance upon one. we trust they will not molest him. The citizen we have. in. mind is supposed to be fairly well fixed in so far aa this world’s goods Is con cerned. He is a "business man." though he might be a farmer or even follow a profession. ? He is a good fellow, and has thh reputa tion of being shrewd.’ This is about'the way he spends the day: He gets U up early in th«< morning having retired early | the Might before, eats breakfast and gets down to bis place of business early and there he stays till dir ner time, engrossed In business af fairs. The afternoon is a repetition of the morning, .except he may lea v > the rlerk in charge and go to drive or take his family automobile rid ing late In the afternoon. He eats supper and retires. The next day and the next, is but a repetition of the former days. He never visits the place of business of other busi ness men following similar lines. ^ never eten visits at the homes of his neighbors, he could net tell you how the inside of s half dozen homes in the town looks. He lives for splf—"me and my wife, my shn JohA and his wife." The peculiar and noticeable thing about this type of citizen Is that he does not .concern himself ~at nil about the welfare of his , town, county or state lie is not the least public spirited. Mention to him the •organization of the business nv'u of .the community fipp the purpose of-"boosting a bit,’’ he will te’.. you that'he w ould like to see such air organization and that there ate many things thev could do. Per- sonally he would like to cep th* business men of the ^oninxintt);. or ganlze but *T41 tell ymr hero h> | We are speaking now of that big hearted.
