CHICAGO, May 18.—Leaders of na- | ;tional co-operative agricultural market- Mng organizations were urged by Presi- | ‘dent Edward A. O'Neal of the American Farm Bureau Federation today to cor- relate their efforts in a big drive to or- ganize the Nation’s farmers. 3 % “The time is ripe,” he said at the ‘opening of a conference to which heads or grain, live stock, cotton, wool, dairy #nd other organizations were invited. “We have made a fine beginning, but there is much work yet to be done be- | fore American agriculture becomes com- | pletely co-operative minded. And it must be done quickly if we are to pre- serve American agriculture. “It is highly important that all agri- ‘eultural groups unite for an aggressive militant campaign against those who are now waging war on co-operative or- ganizations; to tell the citizens of Amer- ica what we stand for, what agriculture z::h_ and to ask their hearty co-opera- Organizations invited to the confer- ence included the National Grange,| Farmers' Union, Farmers’' National Grain Corporation, National Live Stock | Marketing Association, American Cot- | tv?'go h tive Association, National WM Association, National Bean ‘Marketing Association, National | Pecan Marketing Association, National Beet Growers’' Association, Land O’ Lakes Creameries, Inc.; Dairymen’s League Co-0) tive Association, New land Froducers’ Association al California Grape Control Board. O'Neal estimated that the representa- tives of fully one-half of the farmers in ca would be present. The Farm Bureau Federation presi- dent suggested that the conference an- alyze the agricultural marketing act and determine the means whereby max- imum results could be obtained under its terms. O'Neal proposed thet governmental agencies, extension, - college, farmer bcard and others, be enlisted in the drive to organize the farmers and he soffered the machinery of the Farm Bu- reau, which he said had 45 State offices and 1,837 county units. | “It is not my idea,” he said, “that the gencral farm organizations should con- trcl the co-operative asscciations. Thc.!e' latter should be'charged with responsi- bility for marketing the farmers’ crops, ving to the general farm organiza- | tions the obligation to develop the or- ganizaticn work, maintain the field service and direct the educational pro- gram.” % 49 ALARMS ANSWERED Special Dispatch to The Star.

MANHATTAN Laundry Net Bags Save You Money CALL DECATUR ‘1120 ‘By Saving Your Clotles . 409-410 McLach - 10ih and G Sis N MODERN LAUNDRY EXPERT EXPLAINS “NET BAG SYSTEM” Tells How Manhattan Saves You Money By Saving Your Clothes Present-day laundry methods, which preserve clothes as well as clean them, are far superior to the old home method of rubbing and scrubbing, ae- cording to Mr. E. F. Wesely, chief of the Research Department of Manhat- tan Laundry, Mr. Wesely attributes a large part of the Manhattan Laundry's success to their Net Bag System of washing, Manhattan Laundry adopted the Net Bag for washing clothes six years ago. Clothes, they agreed, could be washed just as clean in net bags and would wear longer if rubbing and scrubbing were climinated. Manhattan's famous Net Bag Sys- tem of washing, described by Mr. Wesely, follows: First, the clothes are assorted according to their color and material and placed in individual net bags which bear the customer’s name and contain only that customer’s ar- ticles. Safe in the nets and protected from all metal or other hard surfaces, the clothes go into the washers. Here they are subjected to the gentle cleans- .ing action of swirling hot suds which penetrate cach garment and loosen every particle of dirt. Only the purest of Palm Oil soaps and soft, filtered water are used, after first having been inspected and fested by the Research Department. Many rinsings of fresh, clear water follow, removing every trace of dirt from the clothes and leaving the fabries refreshed and clean. They are then dried, starched where necessary and ironed by the most modern methods, That clothes wear longer and look better when washed in Net Bags has been proven by test after test. For instance, two shirts, exactly the same, are washed fifty times each, one in & net bag, the other by band. At the end of the test the net-bag washed shirt showed absolutely no signs of wear, while the hand-washed shirt had become a sad combination of rough edges, torn seams and broken buttons, Other tests on all sorts of wearing apparel are being carried on regularly and in every case show the Net Bag System to be far superior in preserving” the original sheen of the cloth. At Manhattan the Nets Get the Wear and the Clothes Get the Wash. Enthusiastic’ Customer Praises Net Bag System Tn a recent letter to the Manhattan Laundry Mrs. E. R. D. writes: “ . « « But the one actual fact that pleases me most is that the clothes do not show as much wear as they did when I had my laundry done at home. . . . Itis indeed a pleasure to recommend you. . . " This letter is typical of the many received by Manhattan from satisfied customers throughout the District of Columbia and Virginia. Such letters bear out Mankattan’s claim that “Net Bag Laundering Saves You Money by Saving You: Clothes.” Three-Day Collection And Delivery Service Quite another Manhattan feature which has found great favor with Washington housewives is their 3-Day Collection and Delivery Service.
