Three men were working together,

There were three charges, and but two
were expected. Thinking that the

Rev. Irl r. Hicks 1903 Almanac.

TO say that this splendid work of science and
art is finer and better than ever, is stating it
mildly. The demand for it is far beyond all
previous years. To say that such results, reach
ing through thirty years, are not based on
sound sense and usefulness, is an insult to the
intelligence Of the millions. Prof Hicks,
through this great Almanac, and his famous
family and scientific Journal, Word and Works,
is doing work for the whole people rot APP
preached by any other man OF publication. A
fair test will prove tl;is to any reasonable per-
son. Added to the most luminous course in
astronomy for I9o3 forecasts of storms and
weather are given, as never before, for every
day in the year, all charmingly illustrated with
nearly two hundred engravings. The price Of
single Almanac, including postage and mail
ing is thirty cents. Word and Works with the
Almanac is $I.oo year. Write to Word and
Works Publishing Co., 22oI Locust Street, St.
Louis, Mo-, and prove to yourself their great
value.

A NEW FARMERS ORGANIZATION.

new society of farmers, to be known as
the National Society of Equity, has been in
corporated. Its headquarters will be at 1ndi.
annapolis. One of its aims is to get better prices
for farm products, and another is to secure
equitable transportation rates. 1t will also en-
courage the building of elevators and cold
storage houses and warehouses in the principal
cities or localities where necessary, so that farm
produce may be held for advantageous prices.
1t will oppose the adultertion of food. 1t will
endeavor to open up new markets and enlarge
old ones. 1t will encourage the establishment
of institutions of learning where farmers sons
and daughters may be educated i'll scientific
farming, and for the general advancement of
agriculture. 1t will encourage the improve
ment of highways. 1t will advocate the settle
ment of disputes without recourse to law. 1t
will also endeavor to establish similar organic
atoms in foreign countries. This movement is
truly Socialistic in its nature, and, although
many of the farmers who are, and will become,
interested in it would be frightened to death at
the mention of Socialism, the movement will
prove forceful factor in the advancement of
the doctrine of Socialism.

ONE day last week, the miners before the
arbitration commission put upon the witness
stand the fathers of two little girls who had
testified that they worked all night in the silk
mills. The operators had submitted wage
statements showing that one of these men and
his laborer received 81, 6S1, and the other man
and his laborer received 81 400, last year. Jno.
Demko, father of one of the girls, said that
four, and sometimes six men figure in the d.
vision of the 81, 400. The other man claimed
that four men divided the 1861. Everett
Warren, one of the operators attorneys, tried
to show that this was not the case. After the
witnesses left the stand, Chairman Gray asked
for an explanation from the Pennsylvania Coal
Company, which is controlled by the Erie road,
regarding the wages of the men. The wage
scale was handed tc the commission some days
before, but did not indicate that more than two
persons figured in the distribution.

bound to be bitterly fought
THAT ''the whole contest over the election

pie that the government was again in the hands
of the POLITICALLY sane" now that the Popu-
lists were disbanding. little crankness, or
even what the General would call "insanity,"

THE allied powers are aiding the rebels in
Venezuela who have been making war on the
government for some time. If the claim of
Germany and Great Britain, that they are try
ing to collect debt from Venezuela, is true,
what can they expect to gain by harrassing the
little republic and aiding the rebels in an inter-
nal war? 1t looks very much like fish story.
1t is evident that Germany and Great Britain
are simply endeavoring to gain foothold in
the western hemisphere. Their claims are
merely buncombe.
