The following generous letter from a
valued personal friend and Grange bro
ther is more than an offset to the coarse,
puerile attack of New Harmony Grange,
which was aimed at us through the col
umns of political journal, and to which
we gave place in a recent number of THE
PATRON. Bro. Lykes is the talented and
patriotic Lecturer of the Grange at Mof-
fatt, Bell county, Texas-one of the truest,
staunchest Patrons in the land:
Editor Patron. l have just read the
article of New Harmony Grange, DeSoto
county, Miss, finding fault with your
views upon the currency question. Be
not discouraged, my brother. Y our views
are endorsed by nineteen twentieths of
the Order in Texas, and only hurt few
capitalists: they are in defense of the great
mass of the toiling millions, and will re-
ceive their just reward at no distant Pc
Rod in the future. This is not the first at
tempt by the few to choke you from the
defense of the rights of the many. Let
all your efforts in the future, as in the past,
be for your country. your God and truth
Our cause is solidifying in Texas: nu-
n2eiically less, but in principle and spirit
growing stronger day by day.
Late fsu and open weather have in
creased the yield of cotton beyond expec-
tations.
THE PATRON is giving great satisfac-
ton here, and is much sought after, priced
and read by the brotherhood. Hoping for
full fruition in your untiring and able eff
forts to advance our cause, remain, fra
ternally, yours, w. h LYKEs.

Congress has already donated to rail-
road corporations an extent of our virgin
soil over three times the size of Great Bri-
tain. The Central Pacific Railroad has
received in bonds, land grants, and subsi-
dies, clear donation of over $Ieo,ooo,oo
It's land grants amount in the State of
California alone to "a, 56I 900 acres more
than the entire area of Scotland. Ac-
cording to "Poor's Railroad Manual" the
net earnings of this road from 1864 to
1873 were $4o,6S4, 1887. Of this sum
$S,422, 32o.27 was in the form of interest
paid to it by the United States Its vast
acres in California, which have been do
mated by the Government and State Legis-
ture, were kept in idleness, and exempted
from taxation, yet the Capitalistic journals
called the new Constitution, which pro-
posed to tax this great tract of unim prov
ed land held for speculation, "Communis-
tic and Revolutionary"

The Grange has been in practical ope-
ration about six years. That the period
has been six years Of continual progress is
evident to any one who will take the pains
to examine and compare. But there are
two things Patrons have yet to learn, and
the learning of which seems to come by
the harvest The one is the breaking
loose from long established custom, when
successful experiment, the most intelligent
judgment and applied science sanction the
change. The other is, confidence. Far
mers have for SO long time been accus
toned to paddle their own canoes-to take
no chances in cooperative schemes, that
they look with distrust and suspicion on
every proposition at variance with their
preconceiI ed notions and practices. Per-
haps this is all well enough. But one Of
the missions of the Grange is to build up
confidence when confidence is due, and
by getting out of the old ruts, improve
with the times Grange Bulletin.

What has become of the theory of the

receiving four petitions, eating fine din

FARMERS, DON'T SELL YOUR COT
TON SEED.

YIN
We continue to urge the farmers of the Cotton
States not to sell their seed to the oil companie,
at any price. 1t is the oIst policy they can pur
sue Every farmer should not only refuse to sci,
but he should buy the seed owned by his en- poya
and use every bushel for feed and fertiiizng DUP
poses. At $40 ton, it is the cheapest and best
fertilizer in the world.
The oil companies combine to put down and
keep down the price to SO and 81 per ton, which
is not fourth of its real value. Farmers should
combine to prevent its sale to the oil companie
under any circumstances.

A GOLDEN WEDDING. - Fifty four years
ago the lady who is now Empress of Germany
was present at a cermony exactly like that III
which she herself was one of the prime pal
parties 1t was the celebration of the golden
wedding of Karl August, Grand Duke of
Weimar, her grandfather, whose name has
been made famous by his friendship with
Goethe. She and her elder sister, the PrIn-
cess Marie, had been living with her mother
for about year at the Russian court but
they returned i'll time for the great event, and
it was they who crowned their grandmother
with myrtle. In the same year, 1873, the
Weimer court celebrated the tiftieth anniver-
sary of the day on which Goethe entered the
little town and on this occasion all the young
princesscs were among the most prominent
of those who offered their congratulations
The aged poet; deeply moved by their kind
ness, could not utter a word, but taking the
hand of each, placed it on his heart. He had
a considerable share Of their education, and
the Empress still recalls with pleasure the
days wnen she associated with HIM.

interesting evidence of the spread of education
in the German Empire. The conscripts num-
bering 40, 1917, it was found that of this whole

no State of the American Union, could make
