ADVICE TO FARMERS.
BY II. II. Carr 81 Co. the farmers Com
mission House.


We are in the midst Of an exciting
political campaign; the great cities
are stirred by monster demonstrations.
The great orators hold forth every
night in halls, wigwams, and tents. Po-
litical leaders are busy figuring out the
result in advance of the election. Thou-
sands of men in the employ of the ma
tional committees are ascertaining as
near as possible how each city ward,
how each branch of organized labor,
how each city will vote. One thing no
man, no set of men, no campaign COM
mittee. no political party can tell In
advance, that is, how the farmers OF
the country will vote. The one great
question to-day is: How do the farm
ers feel about it? We mention this
only to illustrate a point in practical
business matters.
Agricultural workers are learning
their power in politics. They can make
or unmake state legislatures They do
1t by initiating the methods of labor
In cities, by working together. They
do not need local unions They can
work in our grand Intellectual union
for their common good. They have
done it in demanding legislation. They
are doing it now in way that makes
leaders tremble They will act more
intelligently and united in the future.
They find other things than politics to
call fer their decision. They produce
what the world needs. They are study
ing new methods of giving the fruit OF
their labors to the world. Recently an
army of 100000 men marched through
Chicago's streets celebrating the twen-
ty-fifth anniversary of the great fire.
The farmers have for years fed much

between the farm and the worlds big

This independent action began with
this pioneer farmers commission house.
1t Is assuming proportions which make
the Easy money-makers professional
shppers) at the stations over dozen
states tributary to Chicago tremble.
The question: What are the farmers
going to do?" bothers not politicians
alone, but all those who have been
getting something for nothing. Farm
ers are going to ship their own grain
not a few or hundred, but an army
of thousands. They know how, they
have tried 1t. it pays. That is one
question answered by farmers.
See what few farmers say who
have tried shipping:

LONDON, Oct. 81. kilograms from

Ii Hung Chang as Chinese minister OF

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. The Turkish

CHARACTER IN WALKING.

s.
Quick steps are indicative of energ,
and agitation.
Tip-toe walking symbolizes surprise,
curiosity, discretion or mystery.
Turned-in toes are often found with
preoccupied, absent-minded persons
The miser's walk is represented as
STOPPING and noiseless, with short, ner
vous, anxious steps.
The proud step is slow and measur-
ed; the toes are conspicuously turned
out, the legs Strengthened.
Slow steps, whether long or short,
suggest a gentle or reflective state of
mind, as the case may be.
Where revengeful purpose is hid
den under a feigned smile the step
will be sinking and noiseless.
