COOPERATOR COGITATIONS.
We once heard a cotton buyer of
the scalper class commenting In a
vein of ridicule on a tremendous mis-
take a certain fanner had made in
trying to calculate the per cent of re
ductlon In cotton acreage. It was
very funny to the cotton buyer, and
he laughed over It. Now, It's dollars
to doughnuts that this same farmer
spent his boyhood days saving In the
cotton fields while this same cotton
buyer was In school learning how to
"finger." And, sud to say, the chil
dren of this same farmer are now
slaving In the cotton fields Just as
their father did before them, while
the children of other classes are in
school learning how to "Agger." And
yet there are farmers who won't Join
the Farmers Union!—Farmers Jour-
nal.
The time is near at hand when all
the producers will know that If they
would be free, happy and Independent,
they must have a perfect underst. nd-
ing
You never hear of wagons and oth
er manufactured implements going In-
to a slumpy market I have been
shown "new" wagons eight years old.
They will be kept until there Is need
of them. Then they will be sold at a
proper price to the maker. Coffee is
not dumped into the market. It U
sold according to th*. demand. Oil la
haudled so that It Is taken out at the
nil man's price —President Calvin, be-
fore the Cotton School.
It is an evolution. Ever onward
and upward.
What a great thing It will be to
have a perfect understanding.
Indeed, we are our brother's keep-
er Help and receleve help in re-
turn.
Not only is It light to help a broth-
er producer with his distressed pro-
duce, but by doing so, you help your
self.
Let us make conditions such that
there- will be more time for thinking,
rest and recreatiou. This can be done
by the proper understanding.
If the producers would have a Jubi-1
leee, if they are to be free, they must
have an understanding everywhere.
The other fellow has done our thinking 1
long enough.
To side with truth when In the ml- j
norlty Is the bravest act a man can !
do. We may share her wretched i
crust, but the day always cometh j
when the truth will prevail.
The National Union Is soon to be
In session. It will be the greatest
body ever assembled in the world, I^et
us all hope that every proper thing
will be done.
Who Is going 10 lose his nerve and !
be a dumper this year? Are you*!
You are afraid the other fellow will j
not stick? Be sure of that before
you accuse your brother.
Don't get frightened this year. The ,
battle will be won easily If none fall j
out of the ranks. Let the other fellow
be the first to break ranks. Of course |
it will not be you.
The Cotton School has been a suo-
cess. There will many taught in j
tho future It will be a permanent (
feature of the organization. If we ara
to attend to our own business we 1
must have our people qualified.
New Element in Commerce.
Ramie, a species of gigantic nettle
which produces, directly beneath Its
outer bark, a fiber that can be woven
I alone or in conjunction with either
' wool or cotton, and gives to the cloth
into which it is woven a beautiful
; silky finish, is being produced In
; China at the present time to an extent
J that promises to make it an Impor-
tant element in the world's commerce.
Unlike cotton, it is not an annual
crop; once planted It will produce
for a dozen years It does uot ripen
evenly, and as soon us one crop Is
pulled the pkint goes on producing I
again; occasionally. In tropical coun-
tries—and It Is only In a very warm
climate that It can be grown—one
plant will give four crops In a year.
A good stand of plants will run from
two to three tons of fiber per acre.
Close Second to American Tramp.
Tho American tramp must look out
for his laurels in the matter of steal-
ing rides. A Roumanian recently sue-
I ceeded in lodging himself on the pipes
underneath a dining-car of the Orient
express at Costanza, on the Black
sea. these pipes affording a sort of
shelf about 20 Inches wide. Ho left
his bed In Paris 53 hours later. It
Is remarked that at the end of the
Journey he was very dusty, hungry
and thirsty, and possessed a capital
amounting to five cents.
BOY'S TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
—Hands Pinned Down—Miracu-
lous Cure by Cuticura.
"When my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sore* extend-
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called In tho doctor.
Wo then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and In our
despair we went to u third one. Mat-
ters became so bud that he had regu-
lar holes In his cheeks, large enough
to put a finger Into. The food hud to
be given with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened tho
mouth they began to bleed und sup-
purate, us did ulso his eyes. Hands,
urms, chest und back, in short tho
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, wo
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and mako
an open sore. I think his face must
have Itched most fearfully.
"We finally thought nothing could
help, and 1 had made up my mind to
send my wife with tho child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ-
ently, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made 11 trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided Improvement. Just us quickly
as tho sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white
as never before. F. Hohrath, Presi-

A scandal has developed In the
Southern Cotton Association. Certain
officials of that self declared bulwark 1
of southern agriculture stand charged 1
with crookedness in connection with
bucket shops and speculation In cot j
ton futures while managing the af-
fuirs of the association." Such as that ;
is why the Farmers Union demands
actual farmers for officers.—Farmers

Johnson and Boswell Exponents of
Different Schools.
It is an Interesting fact in tho his-
tory of literary genres that two of
the great examples of biographical
writing occur almost side by side.
Less thuti a decade separates tho com-
pletion of Johnson's 'Lives of the
Poets"—happily honored In tho new
edition of the late Dr. Mlrkbeck Hill
—from the publication of his own life
by Boswell. Yet with the latter book
a new type of biography came into
being Johnson. In the main, had,
like most of his predecessors, fol-
lowed a simple narrative and exposi-
tory method, prefixing a plain story
of the poet's life to a systematic ac-
count of his character and u critical
estimate of his works; he gathered
his fac«s and impressions together
and spoke for the author and for him-
self Boswell, on the other hand,
making use of a more dramatic
method, succeeded In his aitempt to
let the author reveal himself, and, in-
stead of an exposition of character,
painted a picture of personality, to
which his own comments were sub-
ordinate What w-o see as a typo of
mind and character In Johnson's work,
we see as a living man In Boswell.—

I do not know what would speak bet-

pride in making so'.' We should
make our homes attractive by plant-
ing some of the many kinds of shrub-

varieties that sometimes wo are at a

rule for this is to plant the kind we

THE BEST TIME *OR PLANTING
CURRANTS.
Currants are about the cheapest
I and easiest crop of fruit to product
( requiring \er> little time and labor as
' compHied with many others, states
j American Gardening For tillers or
I what might be termed a catch crop,
| 1 hey are Indispensable, when grown!
! between plum, pear, peach, efferry and
I quince trees. They can be grown In 1
an orchard of any of these fruits with-
out retarding or Injuring the trees.;
When currants are fruited in this way
it is merely a (juestlon of more manure
or fertilizer. Every intelligent fruit
grower will understand this at once.
Under this system of intensive garden
lug you have a nice income from your
<■1..'rants, while jour fruit trees are d<-
\eloping and getting ready for fruit
ing
It depends entirely upon yourself an
to how long these bushes will bear
large, marketable fruit.
No mutter how great n sacrifice It
may seem, you should remove two-
thirds of the new wood each season
Failing to do this yon will soon have
n lot of overgrown hushes on your
hands, and the fruit will dwindle in
size and be Imperfect In many wavs
On the other hand. If you prune hull-
ciously spray as often as Is neces
sary. mariny well and cultivate thor
oiighly, you tTin keep jioii plantation
of currant 111 pe fi ct onb-i for at
least ten years and one vear with an
