back of the wagon and from there
to the ground. When he got up
Mr. Kahanek was lying about 25
feet away close to the fence

The second car of watermelons
were shipped from here yester-
day. The car was made up • by
Karl Schauerhammer, Tex
Dairy, Frank Lyons and Jim
Steadbam. It was billed for
Wichita, Kansas, and contained
1154 melons, averaging 25 lbs.
This being late in the season, the
price obtained was not so high as
earlier in the season, but was
f
still vefy satisfactory to the ship-
pers, who are enthused with
their first year’s experience in
the watermelon business. Sell-
ing melons at an average of 5
cents per melon, an acre will
yield from $100 to $125. It is
hoped th£t the average will be
increased next season, so that
local buyers will be attracted.—

On Co-Operative Marketing Plan
The Farmers’ Union is the pioneer force in the cam-
paign for cheap money, warehouse facilities and a finah-
• cial system adapted to the business of farming. • The
Union has always stood fof the best interests of the
farmer and' realizing that the task was so monumental
as bo require the combined effort of all forces, the Farm-
ers’ Union, some four years “ago, blew the horn and
called all hands together to build more warehouses
and supply cheap money, and as a result the farmers;
* the business men and the statesmen, are now shaking
hands over a bale of cotton. While the work has only
begun, sufficient progress has been made to fully justify
the policy of co-operation adopted by the Union^and on behalf of the Texas
plowmen I-want to thank all agencies now engaged in assisting the farmers
in solving the cotton marketing problem.
We have made reasonable progress in the plan now under way, which con-
templates that the business men and farmers build the warehouses; the State
supervises the storage and validates the receipt and the banker provides the
money at a low rate of interest. Th& State announces ready- and the "ware-
house commission, with an able corps of assistants, has. its problems well
under1 way, and the bankers have declared^a willingness to advance money
at a rate not to exceed six per cent.
Many warehouses now existing have gone under State supervision, .and
others are being constructed, but no warehouse system can be made a com-
plete success without sufficient storage capacity to handle the crop.
The present warehousfe system is swung around co-operation and it is
up to the Texas farmer to assist in constructing warehouses and to patronize
them after they are built. No warehouse can succeed unless the farmers
organize around it, for no business can prosper without patronage. The
farmers and business men must -come to the aid of the system and I make a
special plea to the farmer, for he is the beneficiary of the movement.
We have just passed through the greatest slaughter In crop prices ever
known in the history of the cotton industry. The loss to the Southern planter
last year was greater than that of the freeing of the^latfes during the Civil
war, and the Europdhn conflict is by no means oveK The phantom of low
prices that hover around every cotton field in Texas ought to encourage the
fanners to deeds of commercial valor. Look upon the face of your babe in
the cradle; look upon the woman who stands by your side, then look your
own destiny squarely in the face. Lay aside the petty differences that so
easily beset you, awaken from the lethargy of indifference that steeps your
senses in poverty and arouse thoughts from their dumb cradles and he up and
doing with a determination that wins, and rally around the Ubion, for there
is no other road to success except through organization.

and down—but he had never begun to
make his fortune.
On the fifth night the camp- doctor
shook his head.
“The -crisis has arrived,” he said.
“He is not so ill, hut he dees not want
to live.” •. ., /.
“It’s that woman! ” said Harry, hotly.
“There’s no hope,” said the doctor.
“He’s slipping downhill.”
Harry went into the sick man’s room.
Jim Sayres lay motionless among the
pillows; his face was deathly white
and his thin hands almost transparent.
It was evident that he was sunk in the
final stupor.
A file of natives appeared along a
forest path that led down from the
mountains. It ,was a small party
of hearers, proceeding toward the
camp. ’’
The natives, grunting, deposited
their loads in the clearing. Four*
bearing a hooded stretcher, came to a
halt and set down their burden. Out
stepped.a white woman—Ethel!
She threw herself Into Harry’s arms.
“I thought I would come on from
Lima, Harry,” she explained. “They
told me that you might be delayed here
for’ an indefinite time, and I didn’t
want to wait, Harry.”
“I should have started a day or two {
ago, only there is a sick man here—a
stranger, poor, fellow, and I couldn’t
leave him.”
“Where is he, Harry?”' asked Ethel.
“In that tent." But I am afraid it is
all up with the poor chap. He is dying
of jungle fever. His name’s Sayres—
Jim Sayres.” ^
The girl released herself from her
lover’s embrace and, when she spoke,
her voice was curiously restrained.
“Let me see him, Harry. Perhaps I
can do something for him.”
“The doctor says there Is no hope,”
answered Harry. But already Ethel
was walking quickly toward the tent.
Harry waited.
But after a half hour, he became
alarmed. Ethel was still in the tent. 1
He went softly toward it. He heard
the sound cf voices, and stood outside,
not venturing to raise the flap.
And it was Sayres who was speak-
ing.
“I shall live, dearest,” he 3aid, “be-
cause I have! seen your face again.
Ethel, how I have loved you all these
years!”
“And I you, Jim,” Harry heard her
answer, and the man’s face turned to
a graven mask.
“But why did you become engaged
to—you have not told me his name.

When the State of Texas established a warehouse
commission it gave the marketing side of agriculture
recognition and when it based success of the law upon co-operation the legis-
lature paid a tribute to the intelligence and patriotism of the farmers, bank-
ers and business interests. .
Mr. Joe Hirsch, .president of the Texas Bankers’ Association,-when asked
to define the position of the Texas Bankers on cotton warehousing and
financing, said in part-. *
- “As a result of the vigorous cotton warehouse campaign now being under-
taken, the Texas Bankers’ Association, backed up by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Dallas, will endeavor to market the Texas cotton crop gradually and
to obtain for the farmers of Texas a reasonable price above the cost Of
production.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas is urging the bankers to assist in
financing the Texas cotton crop and is offering to rediscount, for its mem-
bers, notes secured by cotton warehouse receipts; giving preference to cot-
ton stored in bonded warehouses. 'With this powerful backing for the first
time in the financial history of^the state, Texas bankers are prepared to
finance ou-r cotton crop, but the success or failure of-this movement depends
entirely upon the Construction of adequate warehouse facilities, upon the
willingness of farmers to store their cotton and upon the co-operation of

“You didn’t write,

“I had no right to write to you,” said
Sayres in a quiet voice, subdued by
weakness. ”1 only hoped your love
was true.”
“Cfc, it is true, dearest*’ sobbed the
girl. “I never cared for him. But
when I theught you had ceased to care
I did not care what happened to me.
And now 1 am bound in honor.”
“In hrnor?” questioned Sayres,

“Jim, you do net know how good

Softly Harry crept away from the
tent. He called the headman tc him.
“You will stay here with six men
