SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1922 SWEET ADVERSITY The southern farmer may be said to have arrived somewhere in the economic development of his business when he has awak- ened to the value of a system of co- operative marketing of his crops. Nothing more eloquently tells of the chamge which has come over the industrial life of the south than the working out of the plan by which the small farmer may find a market for his crop and send it there under the best finan- cial conditions for himself. It requires some imagination to see in the depredations that have been made 1n the cotton fields of the southern states by the boll weavil a blessing. Its disguise has been fairly perfect, even to those who have been most inti-| Per-' mately concerned with it. haps more effective there than for those who see with a wider perspective and hence a more comprehensive view. . The encroachment of the enemy of the cotton over greater and yet greater territory of the south has worked the wonder that noth- ing else would have accom- plished in the same 'length of time. It has made the farmer "#urn his attention to other crops which were suitable to the cli- matic and soil conditions that ex- ist in his locality. It has devel- oped the varied farm industries of the south and made imperative the consolidation of interests that has taken the form of the co- operative marketing society. "Sweet are the uses of adver- sity," indeed, when the loss of the main crop, to which a whole sec- tion of the United States has been devoted, productive of such potential gain. { ng . SPRING Consolation, for those who en- joy the making of gardens, lies in the brightly printed cover of the flower catalogue. What joys in anticipation of the beautiful rows of plants heavily laden with bloom! What pleasure in seeing in the mind's eye the stately stalks of hollyhock standing guard over the lesser flower folk within the fold of the garden wall! Spring may come with halting tread to those who have no such means of anticipating all the things that Spring brings. But to the student of the flower cata- logue there is always the hint of the budding leaf and the unfold- ing flower, no matter how the blizzard, untimely though of annual occurence, may blow. & > > > > - A net in which to catch swind- lers of the too trusting in the gen- eral public would have to be ingenious, indeed, in its propor- tions and omnipresence if it is to be effective to protect those who seem always to be waiting for a chance to contribute their little all to the vendor of blue sky and his variations. Every catch that is made, however, in the effort that is being put forth to find the "Ponzis" in the country, will be so much gain. Provided, of course, anything is done with them to discourage others, who see an easy way to wealth in that course, from entering upon such a career. FEMININE FINANCE The women with her bank book has been the subject of many a successful joke. From the fair possessor of a check-book who refused to credit the polite notice from her bank that her account was overdrawn because she had "a lot of checks left in her book," to the one who could see no harm in absent-mindedly writing her husband's name to her checks when the banks knew that her checks were blue and his pink, the feminine financier has afforded immense entertainment. But the most feminine of the women who fail to grasp the sys- tem behind the checking account is a creditable example of the able financier compared to the men who sit in Washington seeking to It Fits Your Arch When you buy a pair of shees, you tell the clerk, or he discovers, the length and width of your foot. Do you ever have a chance to feel that the shoe is fitting exactly to the shape of your arch? : Usually not. And yet the arch is one of the vital parts of your foot.

One of these makes, the leader in its class, is the Cantilever Shoe. The shank is flexible in this type of shoe, the arch is really arched just like the arch of your foot. Examine your foot and your shoe, and see if the shoe is shaped around the instep like your foot. When you lace a Cantilever Shoe, the. flexible shank rises and conforms to the undercurve of your foot. When you walk, the muscles have freedom to exercise and strengthen. So you walk with increased enjoyment. Your feet, being free, do not tire so quickly. The circulation being unrestrained, you feel a healthful glow which adds to your appearance. If you have weak arches, the nat- ural and healthful support afforded by the Cantilever Shoe, with its self- conforming arch, offers you the best opportunity to strengthen the arch muscles, without resorting to artifi- cial appliances. Light and flexible, comfortable and good looking, the Cantilever Shoe will please you as it has so many others. Sold on North Shore only by NORTH SHORE BOOTERY 529 Davis St., cor.
