same proportion, is a question that he
cannot answer. The fact that there
are also good and bad cotton years is
also a matter that cannot be disputed,
and no matter what the fertilization
and cultivation, it is out Of the ques-
ton to expect as good results In a
''miss' as in a Shit" year.
Although Major White is a man of
large means and an enthusiastic farmer,
let no one take up the idea that he
farms for fun. He is thoroughly
practical, and he recognizes that above
all things else, the most important
feature Of any crop is the margin Of
clear profit. He works on the wage
system alone, requiring his employees
to obey his orders with strict precision,
and in proportion to the amount OF
actual money invested in his opera
tions realizes as much profit as is real
lied by any other business man in the
county. This fact is especially men
toned because so many farmers will
be disposed to ignore the lesson that
the major is teaching on account OF
the inequalities occasioned by the
means at his disposal. 1t is true that
this is an advantage; but in this case
it seems that it is not an unmlxed
one. As he has been situated for
years, Major fhite is able to give
only about one-third of his time to
farming, other business interests take
up the balance of his time. Having
accomplished this under the circum-
stances, what could he do if he could
give his entire attention to his farm?

A lawyer in Ireland sent a letter
to a Chicago mechanic, informing the
latter that he was heir to an estate
worth fifteen million dollars. In a
postscript the lawyer asked for a fee
Of two hundred and fifty dollars, to
investigate further. The mechanic
directed the lawyer to sell the estate,
and keep a million for his fee.
French women often collect all
the fruit stones that come in their way
during the summer-cherry, plum,
peach and apricot stones. They are
washed and boiled in clean water,
dried in the sun, and put into chintz
or printed linen bags. When hot ap-
plications are required for tooth or
earache or rheumatic pains, one OF
these bags is made thoroughly hot In
the oven and laid on the affected part.
A bag of fruit stones, thus heated, is
good for cold feet. The stones give a
pleasant, spicy scent, and retain the
caloric for a long time.

How the States Have Grown

The treasury department has just
brought out it's statistical abstract of
the United States for 1855, a valuable
book that is full Of tables upon all
sorts of subjects.
Among the tables is ore that savors
of ancient history, but a glance at it
reveals some curious facts respecting
the growth of the States that are worth
a moments attention. The first five
States in population, according to the
census of 1890, were the following in
the order named: Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania, North Carolina, Massachusetts,
and New York. In 1900 New York
went to third place, North Carolina
to fourth and Massachusetts to fifth.
In 1910 New York went to second
place, and Pennsylvania to third, the
others remaining unchanged. In 1920
New York displaced Virginia at the
head of the list, and Massachusetts,
dropped out to give way to Ohio.
Virginia stood second, Pennsylvania
third and North Carolina fourth. In
1880 Pennsylvania moved up to second
place, Virginia was third, Ohio fourth
and North Carolina fifth. In 1910
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
ranked one, two and three, and they
held the same relative positions until
1890, when Ohio was semitic the fourth
place by Illinois. The fourth and
fifth States in 1910 and 1850 were
Virginia and Tennessee in the order
named. In 1860 Illinois made it's
appearance in fourth place, and Vir-
ginia went to fifth. In 1870 Virginia
dropped out and Missouri took it's place.
The only change since then is the
shifting of Illinois and Ohio in 1890.
North Carolina, which persisted in
holding a good position for four de-
cades, has now dropped to the six
teenth place, and Virginia, which
held out until 1860, has gone 10 the
fifteenth. Massachusetts is just out
side the pale. 1t has ranked as seventh
add eighth, but is now back to sixth
place again. Tennessee, which made
q good showing in 1910 and 1850, is
now No. 10. The table gives {. very
clear idea of the gradual decline of the
Southern States in relative strength.
By 1890 Tennessee had dropped to
tenth and North Carolina to twelfth.
Indiana was sixth, Massachusetts,
seventh, Missouri eight, and Iowa
eleventh. In 1890 the first dozen
States were: New York, Pennsylvania
Illinois, Ohio, Missouri. Massachu'
sets, Texas, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa.

Long before another issue of this
paper, the Teton county republican
convention will have become a
matter of history.
The delegates from this end of
the county are all staunch Nc
hinley men. The coming conven.
tion is expected to voice the senti-
ment of the party in this county.
1t should send none but well known
Nc Kinley men to represent US in
the state convention.
There is not, there cannot be in
the very nature of things. such
thing as Bryan republican A
republican, it is true, may support
Bryan. In doing SO he must lay
aside every principle which the re-
publican heart holds dear He
must be tacit supporter of free
trade, state rights, and con tempt
for our judiciary. In upholding
free silver he must also uphold
these other things. In supporting
these other things. he cannot, by
any possible means, be considered
republican.
We are all silver men. We are
bimetallists. But we are not
silver monometallists.
The cry of free silver, which is
now heard throughout the land. is
but false alarm to cover the real
issue at stake. 1t is only molasses
with which to catch flies. What
does it matter to US how much
money there is in the country,
what the rate per capita is, as long
as we cannot get any of it2 If we
have nothing to sell, If we cannot
get days work, what does it
matter to Us whether we have free
silver or free gold or free iron?
The first thing for America TO
do is to set all our idle men to
work. A busy man is contented
man; an idle one is a dangerous
citizen, TIL, Sc who earn their
bread by the sweat of their orows
are coming to the conclusion that
every dollar that is sent out of the
country, to buy foreign made
articles, is a dollar that they
ought to have. So long as we get
our work done in foreign cour tries,
and rob our own lahorers Of q
chance to do thai work, just 5,
! long will We have hard times

The following are extracts from
speeches from Hon W. J. Bryan,
of Nebraska, delivered in the
house of representatives from
March 16, 1892 to January 20,
1894. They are taken from the
Congressional Record.
81 want TO state, as emphatically
as words can state, that l consider
it as false in economy and vicious
in policy to attempt to raise at a
high price in this country that
which we can purchase at low
price abroad"
iCoal is another raw materia!
placed upon the free list. The
duty on coal is indefensible."
81 believe in free iron ore."
81 think the duties ali the way
through this bill-Wilson bill
are higher than necessary, and I
favor the bill, not because Of It's
perfection, not because the duties
are brought down as low as they
might be, but because it is a step
in the right direction"
"Speaking for myself, it is i'm,
material, in my judgement,
whether the sheep grower receives
any benefit from the tariff or not"
81 am most assuredly opposed to
state or national protection to the
beet sugar industry
ga tariff Of 10 per cent, levied
for protection, is just as indefensi-
BILE as tariff of thousand per
cent"
81 will say this that, speaking
for myself, I shall be glad to put
on the free list not only the ma
chinery for man ufacturing binding
twine. but for manufacturing all
things"
"Rough lumber has been placed
on the free list. We found rate
of 81, y per cent on planed aud
groved boards and left a rate of
23, 65."
And SO OH ad infinitum, ad-
nauseam. Why the American
laborer can or will support a man
who wants all our work done in
foreign countries, is harder
question to answer than the famous
one relative to who it was that |
struck Billy Patterson. Will we
ever take tumble to ourselves,
and our interests?
