may take the coal question at the pres- 

 ent time; the greatest problem regard- 

 ing the coal shortage is one of trans- 

 portation. Now, if this association was 

 thoroughly organized, would it not be 

 possible for it to go before the inter- 

 state commerce commission and present 

 its claims, that cars might be diverted 

 to those districts which arc now suffer- 

 ing through a shortage of cars? The 

 old proverb, "In union there is 

 strength," is just as true today as it 

 \v;is during the war. 



Another Growers' Local. 



In the •oursft of my investigation of 

 this subject, it was my privilege re- 

 cently to attend a meeting of about 

 thirty growers, every one of them men 

 who have mailo a success of their busi- 

 ness, but every one of them big enough 

 •■nid broad enough to recognize the fact 

 that they have reached the critical 

 I'oint, that if their success is to con- 

 tinue the tost of production must be 

 tirought to a mininmrji. So, at the sug- 

 gestion of the National Flower Grow- 

 ers' Association, they have organized 

 themselves into a local organization, 

 altliough they have not as yet affiliated 

 witli the national body. They are go- 

 ing to the bottom of the question of 

 cooperative buying; this was the only 

 'i'H'stion discussed at the meeting re- 

 tcrrcd to. Naturally, none of us knew 

 niuch about this question; we were sim- 

 I'ly groping in the dark. 



Before the meeting was over, how- 

 ever, we were favored with an address 

 ">' ri man who had had actual exjieri- 

 'nee, tft« prwident of a little band of 



Never Had 

 the Ance^ors 



Coming down from Hartford last week on the 

 diner, I asked the waiter if he had any ancestors. 

 "Ancestors, boss— Ancestors! No sir, I never 

 did have no ancestor. 



"Why, boss, I sure did have the mumps and the 

 measles; but thank Gawd I never did have the 

 ancestors." 



Which amusing statement would seem to point 

 that all of us have things that we don't know we 

 have. 



Yesterday, Tony, one of our sons from Sunny 



Italy, pointed out a point that is going to mean 



many a nimble dollar to us. 



All of us always knew it, but didn't know we 



knew it. 



But what good is knowing a thing, if you don't 



know you know it? 



Next time you are in New York, drop around and 



meet Tony and let him tell you what a dub I've 



been. 



It may put an idea in your head for more F. T. D. 



business.
