Raise more stuff to the acre, and
thus avoid the necessity of having
your business so widely scattered.
Do not let a day pass over your
head in which you do not help some
man or woman to be a better person.
So long as the merchant is buying
his goods at the cheapest place he can
get them, he should not make any
complaint of other people doing the
same thing:
* The Farmers' Union, founded as a
defensive institution can be made an
Institution to take the offensive when
necessary, and this modern commer-
cialism has about called the turn.
' Along with the rural delivery of the
mall comes the rural telephone, and
a|l can have a phone at a small cost,
In fact no cost, for a phone will soon
paj for itself, and they will have the
phone left
80 long as no principle is at stake,
ft is well to compromise most any
sort of matter. It is not your privi-
lege to be a man and at the same
time compromise any principle.
' The parcels post is not as Import-
ant as many think it is, but it will be
mighty handy to the farmers, and it
will have a tendency to make the local
merchant keep within bounds of de-
cency in the prices of many articles.
Look around you and pick out the
sort of props that have paid beat this
year, and from them select a few that
are best adapted to your land and
your conditions, and get ready to do
something along the diversification
lines. Sensible people do not car-y
alt their eggs in one basket any more.
When your boy goes to school lot
It be a schol that teaches him that
this country is as badly In need of
brains on the farm as it Is elsewnere,
and that the returns are as good from
the farm as elsewhere. That Is the
sort of farmers that it is going to
take to make this country what it
ought to be.
The best way to discuss a question
that may be brought up before the
local Is to not discuss it at all when
it is brought up, but to set it for dis-
cussion at some future meeting, giv-
ing all mpmbers time to r* jd up, and
be in a position to take in all the dis-
cussion, and to take an intelligent
part in the talk.
It is about time that the idiotic
pride of building such costly court
Houses for the U3e of the lawyers was
over for all time. Build good sub-
stantial buildings and let it go at that.
Put the money into good roads, and
quit hauling things through mud belly,
deep to the mules to get money to
pay off Eastern mortgage on a fine
court house that you will have but
little fop.
Do not for a moment forget that
the purpose at the Union is to co-op-
erate and educate. When other things
come.in, they are extraneous, and can
not but result in harm. The wily pol-
itician Is busy all the/ time trying to
get in his work, and it will take eter-
nal vigilence to keep him out, or suffi-
ciently subdued to be harmless.
The Souhern Railway is doing its
best to fill up all the Southeast with
any and all sorts of foreign - immi-
grants, and the Southern Pacific is do-
ing the same thing in the Southwest.
The great growth of the South and the
Southwest has been attained without
he assistance of these elements, and
ft looks like a mighty poor plan to
•wap off a horse that has already dis-
tanced everything else on the road.
The way that new members are
coming in in some of the more newly
organized states is a caution. It will
not be long until all over this coun-
try the Farmers' Union can do busi-
ness without the^aid of the banks afad
bankers who have been the main
itandby of the farmers heretofore—
yes a standby and take all the profits.
When the "gabfesters "stand up
befor* the farmers and tell them that
they are the salt of the earth, and
that no other class of people are so
much oppressed and outrageously
treated by everybody else, it is a good
thing to remember that it is to the
interest of these sajne "gabfesters' to
•kin the farmer, and everybody else,
as for that, out of every cent they can
get, and that no politician or lawyer
is lettng any grass grow under his
feet on the road to the dollars. Some-
how our old friend Solomon seemed to
have a knowledge that was not only
good for all time, but good for etemi*

.If you are not in sympathy with the
movement of some of the Southern
railways running over this country
with Greeks and other sometimes un-
desirable foreigners, It would be well
to chll a stop to the matter.
Now, that the prices are set for the
products of the farm, let there be no
side-stepping. It is all labor lost if
the members of the Union do not
stand by their own proposition. With
about a million members—the biggest
thing on earth—it looks like it would
be an easy thing to do business.
The enthusiastic Union man, and
they all get that way sometimes, jean
hardly restrain himself when he reaus
of the progress of the order in the
newly oganized States.
It is the duty of the Union to ecc
to it so far as is practical that ever.'

no bond. Manhood is the prime mat-
ter in this life after all.
If ever you were a friend you will
be able to keep quiet as to the weak-
nesses of your old friends, to remem-
ber that confidences given you when
you were close togethfer are to be re-
spected more than ever now.
Do not be so cruel as to put a lot

your prisoners, and they deserve good
treatment. But they are are more
than your prisoners, they are your
helpers in getting on in the world,
and for this tney deserve good care,
and for the thoughtless, it is not In
appropriate to mention the fact that
they are more profitable when they
are comfortable.'
The real Union man is above all
else a reasonable man. He is willing
to give and to take from his oppon-
ent. He has sense enough to realize
that it is conditions and not theories
that make up his environment, and
that it is to the conditions as they
are that he must adapt himself, and
not to things as they ought to be, and,
let us hope, some sweet day, will be.
He is selfish as to hiB class, and he
must be to meet the conditions. He
is generous, however, not taking a
"tooth for a tooth," for If the day of
right conditions ever comes, it will
be through concessions all round, and
he Is the man who is willing to go
his full distance and a little further.
When the financial organs of the
country announced that the dividends
declared in September were $65,00,-
000, they declared that the profits
made off of the business of the farm*
ers was Just that sum.

the natural tb'ne to do.

IDEAS FOR THE HOSTESS.
Two Novel Entertainments—With the
Children on Sunday.
■v
An interesting affair which always
takes place in August at the summer
home of the commodore of a seashore
yacht club is the luncheon given to
the members on the club's birthday.
The centerpiece this year is to be a
sailing boat flying the club pennants;
a long table mirror will make a fine
sea and birch bark • canoes at each
place will hold the salted nuts. The
place cards are to be tiny anchors and
dolls dressed as sailors, holding minia-
ture cpils of rope, and oars are to stand
in a circle around the mirror which is
to be edged with shells and pebbles.
The menu is to be as nautical as
possible; seafood in most attractive
forms will be served, ami the piece de
resistance is the dessert, which is to
be a large rowboat of ice cream with
the name of the club done in candied
fruits. Sailor songs will be sung and
all the guests are to wear yachting
costumes. A sail by moonlight with
coffee at ihe clubhouse at 11 will finish
this delightful occasion.
A Brain Tea Party.
Here is a tea party to exercise the
mind, after which the hostess may
serve whatever refreshments she
thinks the inner man may require.
The following beverages are either
one suitable for "this and any other
occasion. Allow ample time for solv-
ing the questions.
RUSSIAN TEA. .
Cover one cup of preserved straw-
berries with three tablespoonsful of
rum; let stand one hour. When ready
to serve the tea put an after-dinner
coffee spoonful of the mixture in each
cup, add one slice of lemon, pour the
tea into the glass. Preserved pine-
apple or cherries may be used instead
of the strawberries.
TEA PUNCH.
One quart of freshly made tea, one
pint^ strawberries, one bunch of mint,
juice of three lemons and two oranges,
one pint of apollinaris water. Make a
sugar and water syrup, add to ffuit
and juices. Mix with the tea and mint.
When time to serve, dilute to taste and
add the apollinaris.

Children's Haircut.
While the bobbed style of haircut
for children has become quite com-
mon, it is still the most sensible way
of arranging the little one's topknot.
The bowl cut keeps all the hair of*
the same length, so that it grows
out nicely and without being particu-
larly unbecoming.
It is a mistake to fancy that cut-
ting the hair causes it to bleed. If
that were true men wouldn't have any
hair dt all.

Alligator skin seems to be coming

SENATOR STONE FOOT ON AMER
ICAN SOIL AGAIN, DISCUSSES
TOUR OF THE ORIENT.
EMPEROR'S POLICY IS PEACE
People Are Cocky, However, and Ex-
pect Consideration as a First-
Class Power—Attention
Turned to Trade.
San Francisco, Sept. 5.—United
States Senator William J. Stone of
Missouri arrived here on the
steamer Hongkong Maru from a
tour of the orient, accompanied by
Mrs. Stone and daughter. They left
Seattle last May with ex-Senator Chas.
A. Towne, formerly of Minnesota, and
in their travels visited the principal
coast cities of China, Philippines,
Korea and Japan. Senator Stone is a
member of the senate committee on
the Philippines, and the trip was
for the purpose of acquainting himself
with conditions in the archipelago.
"Governor General Smith told us we
had covered the islands more thor-
oughly than anybody else from con-
gress," said Senator Stone. We trav-
eled all about the islands, that Is cer-
tain, and gathered much information,
afterwards going to Korea and Japan.
This much i observed in Korea—that
that country is owned absolutely o;>-
Japan. as absolutely as we own th^
Philippines. There is a very settler1
purpose in high circles oJE Japan to
make the Japanese dominant over the
orient.
"The Japanese, too, are eager to be-
come a great manufacturing country.
The government is getting behind and
supporting Industrial enterprises, even
loaning money to corporations at a
low rate, granting subsidies In money,
giving special rates ifi transportation,
owning, as she does, the railroads of
the country aud, as far as she has.
taken possession of them, the" rail-
roads of Manchuria and parts of
China. Japan has also imposed a pro-
hibitive tariff wherever necessary, and
means to dominate the situation In the
orient. The question for we Ameri-
cans to consider in the future is not
what we can get in the orient, but
what we can hold in the Occident.
Japs New Kindly Disposed.
"While in Japan we were permitted
to have an audience ^ith the emperor,
whom we found very sociable and
agreeable. Our conversation with him
was commonplace and had no especial
significance. All over Japan we heard
only the kincfrest expressions regarding
the United States, but we understood
the feeling had softened. Previous to
our vi«it there was evidently a feeling
of resentment over wnat they consid-
ered ill-treatment of some of their peo-
ple In San Francisco, but the reports
received there were later believed to
have been exaggerated. But the Jap-
anese are pretty cocky, and think they
are entitled to every consideration giv-
en to a first-class power. It is a matter
of common knowledge that the country
is in poor financial condition, and real-
ly embarrassed, so I don't believe
there is any disposition on their part
to bring on a war, even though they
were not so friendly with us . They at-,
tach no importance to the proposed
coming of our big battleship fleet to
this coast, and show no suspicion of us
in any way so far as I can see. The
main purpose of Japan is to make her-
self a great commercial country. She
is now busy with that idea."

Lexington, Ky., Sept. 5.—Alleging

ington, New York and Baltimore,
