Farmers' ■
Educational and |j
Co-Operative Union L
of America ^
All over this country there seems
jo be a spirit of emulation as to who
san and will plant the biggest cotton
frops. In West Texas and in the Ter-
ritories thousands and thousands of
xcres are being planted In cotton that
have not been in cultivation hereto- 1
•ore, while the good prices obtained
tor the last two crops have stimulated
production wonderfully in the old cot-
ton growing sections There Is a limit
to the demand, nml this limit can and
will be reached one of these days.
Then some of the crop will not be
bought ut all. What will be the re-
sult? It makea no difference how !
many warehouses ure built, if a man
must sell to a man who does not need
any article, the price will have to be .
Ihe only inducement. Let the Co-Op-
rrators get busy and put tills matter
ap to the cotton planter. There is no
asa In being a fool. The warehouse is
the only system by which the right I
price can be gotte n for ns much as j
the buyer wants but it million ware-
nouses won’t make a price on what n
•nan doesn’t want, and all the fake
loctors of commerce can’t make it dif-
ferent. You get busy and raise a di-
versity of eiops, with a good sprink-
ling of pigs, poultry and cattle, and a
{ew mules and colts, and you won’t
have to worry about anything.
It is a solemn fact mat the Farm- ;
ers’ Union lias not perfected the art i
»nd science of farming; It 1ms not
made a success of every farmer who
has Joined iis ranks, and It has not J
made It possible for farmers to make
s living without wurlung like the j
Sickens. If any one 1ms become a
member of the Union under the im-
pression that the organisation would ;
do IIiIh work for him, he stands in
peed of some correction. The Union
Joes not stand for the getting of a liv-
ing without work; it does not stand
for the making of anything that is
Dot due the farmer us the result, of (
intelligence and diligence In business. >
It docs stand for the full pay for his
labor, and the full value of every dol- |
lar that he spends. If these planks j
are big enough and broad enough for j
you to stand on. you have the right I
ideas for making a good Union man. j
If you want to evade the Divine com- j
maud, “Earn thy bread by the sweat j
of thy brow,” you will have to look |
to some sort of a grafting scheme and
not to the Farmer’s Educational and j
Co-Operative Union.
If you lit ink that the farm is a good j
place for the boys to remain, it would j
be well for you to see that it is attrac- j
live to thorn. The easiest way to do j
this Is for you to give them an interest j
In it—a financial Interest. Of course,
no worse thing was ever done for n [
boy than for the parents to pay him !
for the work t at he ought to do to j
help support the family and pay for
his raising. There should bo some
other sort of way fnr the boy to make j
some /money of his own, and you
should see to it that he does make
some money and use it In such a way
that It will grow a^l the time. It is ’
the growing of things that makes life I
worth living. This is one of the things
that the Union should help every
(arming father to do. The Union j
should stand for the uplift and the i
magnifying of the calling of the farm-
ers.
You must not forget that because
your grand daddy made a success of
life as compared with his fellows
without an education that ho had
about as much as those fellows. Let
your boys have as good a chance as
their fellows. Their fellows—those
that are of any account—4re all iu
school. See?
In cotton sections, and that ta all of
the South, the special work of UM
Union has been along linea of better*
ment of the conditions appertaining to
that crop, but the Union la big euuugU
to go all round.
Co-operate in all the things that
will be helpful to your follow workera.
Do this iu work, talk and in thought,
and the ideal Unloa man is not far
from your own seif.
We are not hearing of enough farm-
ers’ picnics where only farmers are to
do the “spieling." It Is time that
farmers cut out the professional politi-
cal wind-jammers and put up some of
their own men to do the talking.
While you are planting cotton, re-
member that you are having some aw-
ful strong competition. When you
plant something for the family to eat,
or something for the stock to con-
sume, you have yttle or no competi-
tion. See the point?
Don’t lend yourself to anything that
you would not want the world to
know all about or that would make
the blush of shame mantle your cheek
if the world did know about it. Be a
man after the sort that you want the
other fellow to be.
We are hearing from our constant
pounding about planting trees in the
odd corners about the place. This Is
a good piece of news. There is noth-
ing that will so surely increase in
value as trees. 1’lant a trees under
the slightest provocation, and often
without provocation.
All work and no play makes Jack a
dull hoy. You old, hard-working dad-
dy, lake a turn and recall what your
dady ought to have done to have made
a better man of you. and yon get awful
busy treating yourbo y as good as
your father ought to have treated you.
DO IT NOW!
It Is queer how many good men who
would he n benefit to the Union, and
to whom the Union would also lie a
benefit, are continually saying that
they intend to come in some time.
They are in need of the same “moving
spirit” that many would-be reformers
n< cd—tho spirit that will set them
a-going.
Got the boys Into a debating society.
It is at one and the same time one of
the greatest fun-makers on earth, and
one of the greates Incentives to study
and learn something that will “swat”
the opponent. Get together at the
school house and ret tho Farmers’
Union Debating club a-going.
Tho most lamentable lack of com-
mon sense seen in some communities
is that shown in the division into a
number of weak little schools of a
community that should have one
strong, broad school. All over this
country the little schools are uniting,
building a few large, well-equipped
houses, grading and classifying the
students and giving a curriculum
broad enough to lie of real practical
benefit. Good roads are one of the
important factors in this matter, as
indeed they are in all real progress
among rural communities. Take these
matters up in your Union, and get to-
gether.
It Is only a few years since the rail-
ways learned that cutting rates would
not create business. The time has
been when a person could go from
Cincinnati to St. Louis for nothing,
and get a meal thrown tn. Now the
roads have learned the lesson that It
is Just ns easy for one of them to car-
ry for nothing as it is for another, and
they put a fair price on the service.
This is tlie spirit that is coining over
the farmer. The roads had to get
together on some sort of a common
sense bnsis and stick to It. Farmers
have not so easy and rapid methods
of intercommunication, hence they
have been slower about getting togeth-
er, but it is coming. Indeed, the time
Is right now when the day of coopera-
tlon among farmers is growing into
full brightness. Get into the Union’of
those who are “getting together."
The other day we sent a package
Of 50 note heads to a man at a town
where there is no express office. The
postage was 58 cents. The very same
hour we Hcnt the same sized package
of note heads, together with 250 en-
velopes, all wrapped In heavy shipping
paper, to another man, by express, for
25 cents. And yet a parcels post
would not lie self-sustaining, and
would be the ruination of the South! —
Farmers' Union Journal.
Somebody has to hold the cotton
till Ihe mill wants it. The man who
owns it at first hands has less invest-
ed tuan anybody else, unless he has
been fool enough to sell below cost.
With it at a lower cost than aybody
else, he ought to he tlie man who can
make the most money by holding it.
This is true of any business proposi-
tion, and should be true of cotton hold-
ing.

Cause for Indignation.
The little fellow Arvid is the son of
our coarhman ami Is so unwelcome a
caller around Jennie's kitchen that the
other day the girl slummed the door In
his face. A few minutes afterwards
the tiny Swede was heard telling the
luoident to a neighbor, Indignantly ex-
claiming; "Why, she shut the door
right in my looks!"—Chicago Tribune.
India's Great Problem.
To make India absolutely safe from
famine, at least .85 per cent of the land
should be brought under Irrigation.
This per cent would amount to an
area of 74,000,000 acres. Of course,
this presents a great and difficult prob-
lem, but what has been done gives
ample guaranty that the problem will
be solved.
The Best Age.
Every ngo is the best age. Every
land Is holy land. Every epoch is
great and divine. Either God is living
and worktng to-day, or there 1b no God.
Either the Interests of His kingdom
are as dear to His heart aa they were
ages ago, or God Is a dream and a de-
lusion.—Dr. M. D Shutter.

A cottage house 35 by 61 feet is
! given in this plan. This length is
; 'ufflclent to provide for good large
| rooms and to arrange them very
nicely.
The location of a bathroom In a
) rottago has always given architects
j i great deal of trouble. You don’t
want a bathroom near the parlor, nor
i the dining-room, ami it is not always
! .-onvenlent to have it open off the
\itchcn. Some architects solve the
problem by leaving out the bathroom
j I together, but most persons need a
•jalh occasionally, at least civilization
I las worked at the problem a hundred
| rears or so, and has finally decided
| :liat ft is better to take a bath once
n awhile whether you need it or not.
! \ good many Jokes have been sprung
:o illustrate the point, and they may
lave had some influence. It any rate
we seldom see a good house nowadays
without a bathroom, and we never
3ml a person who is willing to do
without one after having once en-
joyed the luxury. The bathroom in this
louse opens off from the kitchen, but
:here is also a door entering from the
jack bedroom, so that there are as
nany advantages with as few disad-
vantages as possible in a cottage
nouse.
Tliis plan is designed for a comfort-
able home for a small family. It may
je built in town or on a farm, and
ae thoroughly satisfactory for either.
1’here is a good cellar under the whole
jouse. It never pays to do loss than
this in the cellar line. The old-
Ing rooms with an extra bathroom
over the bathroom below.
A great many new houses have two
bathrooms, and it is noticeable that
euch houses are never vacant. If the
owner lives elsewhere some one is
always ready and willing to pay a
good rent for such a bouse. Build-
ers In cities are recognizing the fact
that two bathrooms make a profitable
attraction to renting property. The
men who muke money are the ones
who are quick to recognize the trend
of public opinion.
Modern civilization demands cer-
tain improvements In a house which
are commonly called “modern conven-
iences.’’ The term Is somewhat elas-
tic, but it means a good kitchen fit-
ted with a sanitary sink having taps
supplied with both hot and cold wa-
ter. it means a good bathroom with
wash-bowl, hath and closet, it means
a good cellar with a cement bottom
and a hot-air furnace, steam or hot
water heating plant, it means that the
rooms are well arranged for comfort
and convenience according to the cus-
tom of good society. There is a fur-
ther meaning implied, which is that
such houses are usually to be found
in a neighborhood where one would
be satisfied to live and bring up a
family of children.
There is a science in house build-
ing, a science that lias a number of
branches. The mere putting together
of lumber and other materials in
such a way as to make a weather-
proof habitation is but a small de-
tail. There are a hundred side is-
sues all of which have an important
bearing on the problem. The house
is built for a home, a mere shelter
will not meet the requirements any
more than a few raw vegetables will
make a dinner. This is an age of
aggressive requirements. We are
fashioned way of digging out for a
supporting wall to get below frost
has been out of fashion for a good
many years. It Is not economical or
desirable. It costs very little more
I to build a wall deep enough for a
cellar than to build a supporting wall
in a trench dug deep enough so the
stones won’t heave. Even the earth
necessary for filling around the new
house is best secured from the ex
cavation. Any house is liable to have
a furnace for heating whether it is
jnit in when the house is built or aft-
erwards. It is well enough to pro-
vide for it when building at any rate.
A very great advantage In a house
of this style is the opportunity to
build a first class fruit cellar under
the front parlor. A fruit cellar gen-
erally means a place to keep apples,
because this is the universal winter
fruit. Apples require a very low
temperature, one degree above freez-
ing is the most satisfactory when
J/TT'VC
| the barrels are kept in cold storage.
! You can't have a cellar very cold un-
der the main part of the house, but
you can partition off a cold cellar
l under this front room, leave the cel-
lar windows open and it will be cold
enough to keep apples in good con
dition all winter. This is especially
true If the bouse faces the north.
Not every kind of apple will keep
until spring under the best possible
conditions, but we have a number of
| winter varieties, any one of which
will prove very satisfactory up to
February or March in a cellar like
this. The unfortunate habit a good
many American families lisve got Into
of buying a peck of apples or a half
bushel of potatoes at a time would
he corrected if every family had cel-
lar accommodations large enough and
of the right kind. A supply on hand
r is not only cheaper but it is much
■ better and more satisfactory In every
| way. It points to thrift almost as
I sure as a savings bank account.
There Is considerable room In the
I roof of this house which may be fin-
I ished off If necessary. There is a
j good stairway leading up to It. and
j It may be used partly for sleeping pur-
I poses and partly as an attic, or it may
be finished up In good style tor sleep-
learning more all the time, and the
more we learn the more we are in-
terested in the ( fundamental princi-
ple of good living.
Shell of the Englishman.
There is no doubt about the splen-
did isolation of an Englishman, says a
writer in the Bohemian. You cross the
water first; then you stumble through
fog, and then you have to cut your
way through his shell. When you
finally reach the man he's all Anglo-
Saxon, from his backbone to the but-
tons on his coat, with a fist that, you
like to shake, but which you wouldn’t
like to see doubled up; and you’re
glad that you kept your temper and
persevered. His shell, by the way, is
invaluable. Not having one, I can’t
keep warm in this refrigerated Turk*
ish bath they call weather, especially
without steam heat or even an ordi-
nary furnace. The railway carriages
are ice boxes on cold days: there is no
way for a stranger to find out where
his station is, and the railway officials,
who at home will metaphorically slap
you in the face and then give you ac-
curate instructions, are exceedingly
courteous, and know absolutely noth-
ing. Every one takes time to be cour-
teous here. Even a telephone girl is
courteous when she tries to operate a
system that was antiquated years ago,
and which is so poor that you have
time to go to see your man before you
can reach him by wire. I shall miss
haring people say "Thank you!” when
I come home.
PAID TRIBUTE TO WASHINGTON.
English Journal Extolled Virtues of
the Great American.
The melancholy account of the
death of Gen. Washington was brought
by a vessel from Baltimore which ar-
rived off Dover, said the London Cour-
ier of January 24, 1800. Gen. Wash-
ington was. we believe, in his sixty-
eighth year. In voluntarily resigning
the magistracy which he has filled
with such distinguished honor he en-
joyed the unequaled satisfaction of
leaving to the state he had contrib-
uted to establish the fruits of his
wisdom and the example of his vir-
tues. It is some consolation amid
the violence of ambition and crim-
inal thirst of power of which so many
instances occur around us to find a
character whom it is honorable to ad-
mire and virtuous to Imitate. A con-
queror for freedom of his country, a
legislator for Its security, a magis-
trate for Its happiness. His glories
were never sullied by those excesses
Into which the highest qualities are
apt to degenerate. With the great-
est virtues he was exempt from the
corresponding vices. He was a man
to whom the elements were so mixed
that "nature might have stood up
to all the world and owned him as her
work." His fame, bounded by no
country, will be confined to no age.

PROCESS KEEPS GARMENTS IN
FRESHNESS.
Fatal Mistake to Allow Lines and
Wrinkles to Show—Proper Way
to Clean and Press Skirts—
Wash Frocks.
A clever girl with more taste than
money always puts away her ribbons
and laces to rest. This is not so much
to freshen them, though they are im-
proved by it, as to have something
which is apparently new to her friends
when she rewears them after their
"rest cure.”
Nothing induces sliabbiness in coats
md gowns more than the lines and
wrinkles which show that they have
been worn and reworn. Walking
creases make a garment old before it
has done it duty.
Men know this better than women
and this is why a man is well dressed
with a small wardrobe, because every
week or so lie makes a change of
suits, sends the suit he has been wear-
ing to the tailor and never by any
chance allows a wrinkle txj become
fixed in his garments.
Here Is a plan that has been tried
with success for cleaning and pressing
skirts; Brush them first, then whisk
off with a clean brush dampened in
ammonia and warm water. Any stain
can be removed if rubbed out at once
with a mixture of equal parts of am-
monia, alcohol and water.

TRIMMING FOR THE JUMPER.
JJf...... 1
After the skirt is thoroughly clean-
ed, brushed and dried lay it on the
pressing table or board, pin each plait
down In its proper fold, cover the skirt
with a piece of dark, woolen goods,
which had been previously dampened,
and then press.
After it is pressed hang It up care-
fully and leave the plaits pinned I
down until used.
To remove dust from silk skirts do 1
not use a brush, but wipe them with j
a piece of velveteen, which will not ,
wear the silk and will remove the dust
much better than a brush.
Silk or ruffled skirts should be fitted j
with tapes sewed on the lower ruffles, j
by which they can be hung upside |
down. This prevents the skirt from
sagging and the ruffle from drooping.
Gown of delicate material should be
put away in long boxes or bureau
drawers, each skirt being folded in the
plaits into which it should fall when
worn. The bodices should be stuffed
with tissue paper, the sleeves and
trimmings tilled out with tissue paper
also. ,
Wash frocks should always be put
away in trunks, boxes or drawers,
whether they have been worn or not,"
for in hanging they grow stringy, are
more easily affected by dampness and
lose freshness.
Suits and frocks should be carefuiiy
gone over and mended and repaired
before they are put away for rest. [
of us will welcome any departure
from its somewhat conventional lines.
The only thing that looks like a suc-
cessful rival of plaited skirt popularity
is the side-front-closing skirt. This
mode is to be noted in the latest cos-
tumes of several women known for
their cleverness in dress effects. A
yellow tan broadcloth had the skirt
so fastened on the left front, the fast-
enings being accomplished by broad-
cloth buttons set in black rims. The
little coat, a half-fitted effect reaching
just to the hips, was buttoned on the
side also, with buttons similar in style
but a size smaller. Still another side-
front effect was noted tn a buff Ians- I
downe costume in which the plain
waist was attached to a circular skirt, ;
and both fastened with large covered j
mold buttons of brown silk. Two
three-inch-wide bands of brown silk
trimmed the skirt, and one finished j
the loose sleeves.
Machine Embroidery Passe.
Hand embroidery and elaborate !
hand work of all kinds is still consid
ered the smartest finish to almost j
every style of dress, but, as all hand j
sewing naturally increases the ex-
pense of a gown, embroidery is kept j
for the most ornate frocks for after- :
noon and evening wear. Imitation— 1
or machine—embroidery is decidedly ]
out of favor at the moment, and this
makes the hand work all the more I
popular, for as soon as work can be '
well initiated in a cheap grade it
quickly loses its desirability.
White Lace and Light Embroideries
Cunningly Used.
Many of the new cloth frocks de-
signed with jumper bodices show a
tendency to introduce about the neck
and shoulders a trimming much dark-
er than the tone of the dress material,
but this is combined with quantities
of white lace and light embroideries
which, of course, are admirably set
off by the dark background of braid
of silk bands. There is no embellish-
ment, no matter how elegant, where
buttons do not fit in nicely, and many
tof the most successful decorative
schemes owe much of their merit to
the introduction of various little nov-
elties in the way of buttons.
Nothing is more effective upon a
dark brown or black dress than a
touch of yellow, and a good way to in-
troduce a little vivid coloring into the
fashionable Jumper blouse is to make
a little shield for the front, starting
at nothing on each side and gradually
broaden out until the greatest width
is in the exact center. The sleeve car-
ries out the same idea by the intro-
duction of a little colored embroidery
in the seam just at the wrist, the em-
broidery being carried round the
wrist.
Improvement on Plaited Skirt.
The plaited skirt, while smart in
the extreme and popular beyond the
dreams of even its most ardent advo-
cates, is so generally used that most
Try Changing Shoes.
Few women seem to know of the
rest that results from changing the
shoes as soon as one goes indoors.
There are two reasons for resting
power produced by changing the
shoes; one is that in the street are
worn heavier shoes than are required
for the house, the other is that a
slight difference in shaping permits
the pedal cords and muscles to re- ,
lax. Shoes for the street should never I
be worn indoors any longer than is
necessary to change them.

FOR PRESERVATION OF OLD LETTERS
Good Way Is to File Them In Alpha-
betical Order.
Several years ago it was quite a fad
for couples to be married kneeling on
cushions stuffed with their old love
letters. Whereat the cynic and the
victim of a breach of promise suit
alike ejaculated ’’Amen!”
Aside from such bizarre practices,
jioweve'r, many persons treasure for
years their old letters, love and other-
wise. As to business letters, this is
Undoubtedly a wise proceeding. It is
well to have documentary evidence of
every business transaction, no matter
jhow small it may be. In regard to
merely personal letters a dissenting
(opinion might be expressed. Often
they are of so very personal a char-
acter that the best thing for all con-
'cerned Is to destroy them as soon as
Ithey are read and answered. But
where nothing of this sort exists and
,the letter is merely a pleasant and fa-
miliar chat or a pleasant note of
thanks or good wishes It is often a
greater pleasure in the years to come
4B . .
than at the time of receipt. Especially
is this true of those rare letters which
are really literature and which, com-
ing from some persons, reaiiy const!- j
tute entertaining nr valuable essays, j
A good way to keep letters is to ar- I
range tjiem alphabetically, according
to the writer's name, and those of the
same writer according to date of re-
ceipt. Then if divided into equal piles
and securely fastened they are always j
ready for reference of any sort. It is
best, also, to keep all letters in one
box, as large as may be necessary,
plainly labeled and securely bound. I
For summer wear, many interesting
waistcoats are seen in regular vesting
materials such as are worn by men.
These are usually in white, often of
heavy pique, sometimes of figured ef-
fect. They are made both single and
double-breasted, and can be easily
laundered. The tan and chamola-col- !
ored waistcoats are also seen, being
particularly liked to give a touch of j
color to a blue or brown cloth or linen

KIDNEY TROUBLE
