LOVE OR DEATH
He had to choose between the love
of a beautiful queen and death on
the scaffold!
Such is the choice given Rod La
Rocque in Pola Negri’s latest star-
ring picture, “Forbidden Paradise”
which Ernst Lubitsch produced for
Paramount.
La Rocque plays the role of a
young army officer in the kingdom
of which Pola Negri is Czarina. He
loves Anna, a lady-in-waiting to the
Czarina, but the eyes of the queen
fall upon him and she desires his
love. Rather than lose him, *he
threatens him with death if he dis-
regards her favors.
“Forbidden Paradise,” which Ag-
nes Christine Johnston and Hans
Kraly adapted for the screen from
the stage play, “The Czarina,” is
placed in a Balkan kingdom.

Show mo the man who fa a gooc'

tions, I will show you a good citizen
It was said by Napoleon, one of tin
greatest military geniuses of his age
that “An army travels on its stomach,
meaning of course, that it must be fet
and provided for or else It would noi
travel.
So It is in all walks of life, and thal
calls for individual economic hide
pendence. It calls for man to firsi
provide for his own securely, but not
selfishly. Individual economic inde
pendence creates good citizens, and
upon good citizenship government de
pends for Its existence.
If typical of its title, this organlza
tion’s membership relies upon sales
manship as a means of maintenance
There are many kinds of salesmen:
hardware, grocery, dry goods, lumber
steel, oil stock, cigars and cigarettes
pen and paper, peanut and pop-corn
vendors, but how frequently do we
ever see or hear of a real “farmer
salesman.” And so I have chosen
FARM MARKETING SALESMAN-
SHIP as a theme kindred to this or-
ganization and occasion.
No class of people throughout this
broad land enjoy less economic inde-
pendence than the farmer—the biggest
business of all businesses—producing
annually more new wealth than any
other single business. It provides,
generally speaking, poorer standards
of living, less opportunity to enjoy the
luxuries of li than any other single
industry, and yet is the very heart,
soul and backbone of the nation's pros-
perity.
The farmers’ method of production
may be unscientific and wasteful, but
cost is variable—up or down, by effi-
cient methods on the one hand, or in-
efficient on the other—to only a small
degree. One single item of Texas
farm products—cotton—within a peri-
od of less than five years, has ranged
up and down in price more than 300%.
I distinctly recall in one swift fluctua-
tion it dropped from 36c per pound at
high point down to 11c per pound at
low point. Make the cost of produc-
tion what you will, no business on
earth can withstand such violent fluc-
tuations and downward depredations
on its income. The law of supply and
demand is ever present and active. Its
influence may be minimized by co-
ordinated efficient salesmanship. By
the same token, speculative raids upon
the farmers’ income can be averted.
So long aa the individual farmer,
with sample in hia hands, peddleB his
crops from door to door, his individual
economic independence will be de-
structively violated and ruination
wrought to his business—the greatest
business of all—the business of farm-
ing.
Salesmanship has become a science.
In its most modern and advanced form
it is a science of co-operation through
corporations. The stockholder buys
stock in a corporation—banking, manu-
facturing or otherwise and immedi-
ately becomes g co-operative unit deal-
ing in some particular product and
represented bv scientific salesman-
ship. The agricultural producer is the
fundamental basis upon which the suc-
cess of all such enterprise depends
and upon whom your success likewise
depends. We are so much concerned
with establishing our own economic in-
dependence that wo are apt at some
point to exchange success for selfish-
ness and forget the very basis of our
prosperity—the farmer.
But economic L 's work unerringly,
and will destroy the basis of all pros-
perity—the farmer—if we continue to

forget. In his own mad fight far a
footing in life, the business man neg- 1
lects to shower the farmer’s thirsty
field with drops of bis business ex-
perience. Farm marketing salesman-
ship Is the silver lining to the cloud.
Farm co-operative marketing organiza-
tions are fighting their feeble way to
the front. They are a nucleus around
which efficient scientific salesmanship
may be established for the farmer. He i
is fundamental to our success and we |
ghoul; contribute to his.
.He :an succeed by controlling 50%
of the flow of his production, and by
the same means control the sale of his
output. Financing is the first essen
tial to such control. Create control
through co-operation in financing and j
production. Control farm production I
and sales control of output will follow. 1
Legislation can aid, but not cure the
farmers’ ills.
Co-operation of the farmer and the
business man, whose interests are one
and indivisible, will make the farmer
salesman a familiar figure in the marts
and markets of the world, and bring to
the farmer much needed economic in-
dependence. The world’s welfare lies
in being your brother’s keeper in this
needed evolution in the marketing of
vhe nation's agricultural products.
