Wash,
United States Consul General A. W.
.Thackara of Berlin thinks the farm-
ers of the United States could study
with profit the agricultural conditions
in Germany. He points out that the
German league is effective in aiding
the membership financially, the loans
aggregating over $300,000,000, in im-
proved culture through traveling ex-
perts, in selling farm products and in
purchasing supplies which amount to
many million dollars annually.
The largest of the German organi-
sations has been known since the
year 1903 as the Imperial Union of Ag-
ricultural Societies. The second or-
ganisation, known as the General
Union of Agricultural Societies, was
founded in 1871. These two agricul-
tural organisation^ were united in
1905 for all administration purposes.
The local societies making up the
organisations were founded for vari-
ous purposes. Many of them may have
a single activity, others have their
functions so intermingled that it is not
always possible to distinguish them.
In general, however, one may make
the following classification of groups,
namely, savings and loan societies, so-
cieties for consumers and societies for
the sale of farm products. This latter
group la often subdivided according
to the character of the products sold.
▲t the close of last year, the Im-
perial agriculture organisation em-
braced 6f onions, made op of 18,333
local societies. The total membership
of these societies was then 1,575,000.
The local societies were divided into
groups, in accordance with their prin-
cipal purpose of union. There were
12,684 saving and loan societies, 2,128
cooperative purchasing societies, 1,960
dairy societies, and approximately
1,591 societies devoted to various oth-
er objects.
The general agricultural organiza-
tion has a membership of 5,172 local
societies. Of this total number 4,298
are saving and loan societies. These!
locals have a total membership of
405,819 persons. The fee for admis-
sion as. a member of either of these
groups is a nominal one. The coop-
erative purchasing society is the sec-
ond in number and in importance of
any of the group of the Imperial orga-
nization. It baa a membership of 216,-
000 persons. The value of goods pur-
chased through it last year exceeded
by approximately $4,284,000 the pur-
chases of the previous year. The prin-
cipal articles purchased by the farm-
ers through their organization are fer-
tilizers, food stuffs, seed, coal and ag-
ricultural machinery. The' working
capital of the cooperative working
societies is a little over 810,000,000.
The consol general at Berlin points
out that the function of these great
farmer organisations Is mseb broad-
Everybody who had known old
Henry admired him for the charity of
his tongue when he spoke of his
neighbors. It was his most marked
characteristic—except the Independ-
ence which manifested In his po-
litical affiliations. It made a young
man who was visiting in the neighbor-
hood curious, and one day he man-
aged to lead up to the subject and
ask the old man what had taught him
to keep such a good watch on his
tongue.
“It was my father,” replied the old
man, quietly. “A splendid man, as I
remember him. He always disliked
to hear folks gossipplng unkindly
about each other. I’ve seen him, when
they began It, get on his feet, just like
a cow grazing and gradually working
toward a hole in the fence, and be-
fore any one knew it he’d be out of
the room, bo’s he couldn’t hear ’em.
"He talked to me about it. ‘Henry,’
he’d say, ‘when you’re of age never
say anything about a man if you can’t
say good of him, and always vote the
straight party, ticket'.” --«»
"But you don’t vote that way.”
“Well, sir,” said Henry, "you see
my father said the straight party tick-
et, and when I came .along to vote,
the pesky thing had got so crooked
that F don’t believe he’d have recog-
nized it

used Doan’s Kidney
Pills in my practice
for years and they

THE BEST OF ITS KIND
Is always advertised, in fact It only pays
to advertise good things. When you see
an article advertised in this paper year
after year you can be absolutely certain
that there is merit to it because the con-
tinued sale of any article depends upon
merit and to keep on advertising one
must keep on Belling. All good things
have imitators, but imitations are not ad-
vertised. They have no reputation to sus-
tain, they never expect to have any per-
manent sale and your dealer would never
-sell them if he studied your interests.
Sixteen years ago Allen's Foot-Ease, the
antiseptic Powder for the feet, was first
sold, and through newspaper advertising
and through people telling each other
what a good thing It was for tired and
achfng feet It has now a permanent sale.,
and nearly 200 so-called foot powders
have been put on the market with the
hope of profiting by the reputation which
bfis been built up for Allen’s Foot-Ease.
When you ask for an article advertised
In these papers see that you get It. Avoid
substitutes.

What They Did With Them.
An American who spends much of
his time In England tells of a cockney
who went to a dealer in dogs and thus
described what he wanted. “Hi wants
a kind of dog about so 'igh an’ so long.
Hit's a kind of gr’y’ound, an’ yet it
ain’t a gr’y’ound, because ’is tyle is
shorter nor any o' these 'ere gr’y’ounds,
an' ’is nose is shorter, an’*’e ain’t so
*Um round the body. But still 'e’s
a kind o’ gr*y*hound. Do you keep such
dogs?” “We do not,” said the dog man.
”Wa drown ’em.”
*1 had eczema on my hands for ten
years. I had three good doctors but
none of them did any good. I then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent
and was completely cured. My hands
were raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before I had used one
bottle, together with the Cutteam
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and toy the time I toad
used the third bottle, I was entirely

or blood disease I would honestly *d-
vise them to fool with nothing else,
hut get Cuticura and get well. My
hands have never given me the least
hit of trouble np to now.
V"My daughter’s hands this summer
became perfectly raw with ecsema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment and in two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used Cuticura for other members
of my family and ft always proved suo-
