The Union Pacific railroad COM
pany has commenced to floor all its
individual cars with monolith. This
is something new in car flooring and
is said to be the best thing in exist
ence. Monolith is mineral plaster,
which is mixed with sawdust and a
liquid preparation until it becomes
batter, when it is applied to the car
floor with a trowel. 1t sets in few
hours and becomes hard and as
smooth as glass. Over this is placed
coat Of paint. After car floor has
been thus treated the sound from the
car wheels is practically deadened

FARMERS To ORGANIZE.
KNIGHTS OF THE SOIL IEIIG
FORMED HFRE.
None But Farmers Eiigible-Mem-
bers Propose to Command the Mar
kets of Farm Products.

The Knights Of the Soil, new
lodge for farmers which started in
Iowa, has struck Kansas. B. II.
Barnes, the chief organizer, arrived
here today.
He has been a lawyer, newspaper
man and promoter in his day. and is
now what might be termed gentle
man farmer. He is man OF pleas
ant address, fair speech and q natural
organizer. He expects his scheme to
result in greater benefit to the agrl-
cultural interests of the country than
any scheme of The sort ever before
projected and he clothes it with such
an air Of plau 'ibility that the casual
listener is prone to agree with him.
The main object is to enable and
encourage all farmers to hold their
crops for market advances. The
loaning of money at high rates Of in
terest will be done away with. Money
will be borrowed by those wishing to
hold crops for advance in prices from
the order through the local lodges.
The promoters of the society hold
that it is certainty that if crops
can be held go days the money on
them can be doubled, and say they
are prepared to demonstrate this.
II a farmer has 1000 bushels of
wheat and wants money to hold it
with, he will 60 to his lodge, get the
money, pay no interest," but turn
over to the lodge 5 per cent OF the
increase on the price of the grain
between the date Of making the loan
and the date Of making the sale.
1t is claimed that it will always be
profitable to hold crops and borrow
on them, for the reason the organi-
zation will soon be the strongest pro-
tectiye association in the country.
The 5 per cent thus paid through
local lodges goes to the general lodge
fund as part of the loaning surplus.
No restrictions will be placed upon
the size of crops raised.
Organizers are at work in Iowa,
Nebraska and Minnesota and report
that many lodges are being formed.
