Letter TO THE FARMERs.
From the Missouri Worlds Fair
Commissioners.
ST. LOUIS. Oct. 16. 1901.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 16, 1901.
10 the Farmers and Fruit Growers
of Missouri:
Our Legislature has provided
very literally for a presentation
Of the resources and products of
our great State at the coming
Worlds Fair, and it the intention
of this Commission that our Agri-
cultural display be second to none.
10 accomplish this we must have
the cooperation of the farmers of
the State, individually and collect
lively. We want you to help It's
get together the cream of the pro-
ducts Of the field, the orchard,
meadow, vinyard and garden; a
collection which will demonstrate
just what each county in the State
is capable of producing and does
produce when tarmcd inleIligently,
and an exhibit that will enhance
the value of every farm in the
State. We want every farmer to
be on the lookout for fine wheat,
fine corn, grasses, beans and in
fact everything produced from the
soil. If you have raised some
thing which you know will be Il
source Of pride to your county aud
credit to yourself, preserve it and
write rs what you have. If condi-
tions justify, we vii! try and ar
range with you for its proper stor-
age until needed, and for its dis
play at the Fair, with proper cred
it to the county and to the produc
er.
At least half bushel Of each
sample of wheat, bushel of corn
and half tusheI of potatoes, beans
ETC., Il good sized bundle Of the
various grasses, and where practi-
cal to preserve them, q half pushel
of apples, peaches, etc, should be
preserved.
This has been Il great wheat and
and fruit year in our State, and rs
we have but the crops Of 1901 and
1902 to select from, it behooves us
to preserve the best from this
years crop to guard against crop
failure next year: and we issue
this appeal with the assurance that
every farmer in the State will be-
gin at once to keep his eyes open
for something that will add to the
States display, and to this end we
earnestly invite your co operation.
Col. G. W. Waters, Institute
Organizer of the State Board OF
Agriculture, has been authorized
to represent the Commission at the
Institutes, in the matter of bring
before those interested the neces-
sity of prompt and vigorous action,
and your cooperation with him
and the Institute will be of value.
We will be glad to hear from
every farmer with any suggestion
that may be of interest.
Sincerely,
NJ. L. DAVIS, Pres.
b. H. BoNFoEY, Sec'y.

Mr.. Bryan IS Rash.

William j. Bryan, in his endea-
vor to fire the Demo Pop heart in
Nebraska, is saying some things
which had better. for his interests,
have been left unsaid. Thus, in Il
speech made IL few days ago in tina,
state, he remarked: Il hate to be
lievc that men will recant their be-
liefs because their material interests
are advanced by voting contrary
to their principles. l hate to think
that farmer who believes in sill
yer. in independence in govern
ment and is against Imperialism,
will vote the Republican ticket be-
cause hogs arc up and wheat is
high"
In this sort of talk Mr.. Bryan
goes far toward giving away his
case. A policy which advances
the material interests of Il commu
nifty, especially when that commu
nifty means nation of 10000, 600
inhabitants, must necessarily be
wise. In talking this waNto farm
ers that statesman incites them t.
ask themselves the reason why
''hogs are up and wheat is high.
This will lie fatal to Mr.. Bryan's
whole theory. When the farmer
gets to thinking of the reason why
the things he has to sell are higher
than they were a few ycals ago,
and why his general condition ha.
been greatly improved in the in
terval, he will quickly reach thu
conclusion that Republican su
prcmacy is accountable for much,
very much, of this Improvement.
MIR. Bryan is an eloquent man
but he cannot make anything, in :
political way, out of this prosperi
ty argument. He said in one ot
his recent speeches that ''the pros
perity argument defeated us les
| year, and when Il man admits tl,a
4 man who has profcssed belief il
onr principles votes the Republican
ticket, yon have to admit that b.
puts material interests above the
welfare Of his co,nsry-rrosperit,
Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1901-11-06

above principle.'' - There is dyna-
mite for the Democratic leader in
this sort of stump speaking. He
ought to leave the prosperity talk
to the Republicans, who alone are
in a position to profit by it. Mr..
Bryan comedies, what everybody
knows to be true, that the condi-
ton Of the country has been won
derfuIly improved since the Re
publican party came into power.
There is something more than CO.
incidence in this conjunction. The
intelligent men among the eloquent
Nebraskan's hearers will be apt to
see that the Republican sway and
the national prosperity bear, the
one to the other, the relation of
cause and cffect.-Globe Demo-
crat.

wealthy man in his own right, is
selling newspapers on the streets
of st. Lonis. MIR. How claims to
be a socialist, and his purpose in

to organize the newsboys into CO.
operative organization in which
each member will share equally in
the profits. Mr.. How is evidently
sincere in his motives to better
the condition of mankind, but to
attempt to bring about a social
evolution by beginning with the
newsboys is like shooting tiger

his efforts ut the newspapers.

who recently said that Providence
and Alaska had stepped in and ac-
con,plisled just what the Demo-

national prosperity through enlarge

We think it must have been these

the Republican party which has
really been bringing about the

4 Bonnet story.

Here is a story which should make every
man in New York-eXcept one, perhaps,
happy. The ordinary man is apt to speak
with scorn of the delight with which the
average feminine mind turns TO the Easter
bonnet. His feelings are apt to be, not of
scorn, but something more vehement, and
not so agreeable TO mention when he pays
the Easter bonnet bill. But that is because
he does not know when he is well off. Read
this, o man, go home humblX and tell your
wife TO order another Eastern bonnet as a
reward for her temperance in things mill

A woman who is fond Of good clothes and
clothes made of the best materials and has
the best modistes and milliners has just
started for abroad and taken with her six
teen brand-new Easter bOnnets, all of
which came from one F~ifth-avenue mill
liner and a milliner who never charges less
than $25 for her simplest little hats, and
these were chefs-d'oeuvres.

Foolish Homemade Trihes.

Good Housekeeping.
The trouble seems to be that our I'M
trained American workers devote more en-
ergy to devising ingenious and amusing
c~atchpenny triles than in attempting really
fine work. Our sense of fun overbalances
our judgment at times, and extraordinary
things are made. For instance, from a seri-
Gus newspaper article on Christmas fancy
work we see two strange suggestions.
founded IN bodyless heads of dolls. One is
utilized by being glued to the end of a
long. narrow cushion. hidden by a baby
dress tied at the neck, and pins are then
stuck into the completed baby. The other
head is to be fastened to a circular piece
of felt and dressed in dainty Quakeress
told to wipe our pens beneath the ker-
chief. In a magazine there was a design
OF thiStleS for a sofa pillow, which did not
sugges sleep, nor did another covered with
beads and %spangles. Whisk broOms dressed
like negroes and hung by the neck remind
one too fOrcibly of one national disgrace,
and the humOr of painting a COMMON house
peal to every one. We have all known
those relics of barbarism, ornaments made
of human hair, and we wonder why time
IS still spent in their making. ~ short
time ago a clergyman in a Western parish
was presented with a wreath one foot in
diameter, entirely made from the hair of
his Sunday school scholars, each cOntribu-
ting a lock. The m who carried out
the idea said with pride: There never
were more natural roses in a hair wreath.
