HISTORIC ALAMO in DANGER.
Place Where Travis and His Little
Hand Made Their Famous stand.

The old Alamo in Texas is in peril.
The historic monastery fortress, dear
to hearts of all Texans, around which
so many tragic and romantic tradi-
tons, true and fanciful, are woven. is
doomed, the victim of an iconoclastic
commercialism.
An association of eastern capitalists
are planning the purchase of that part
OF the building not at present owned
by the State and tlse inclosing of the
grounds around the old mission. 1t is
not known for just what purpose the
place will be used, but it is Y Y well
understood the main object will be the
advertisement of some commercial
scheme.
The plan leaked out a few days ago
and Immediately the Daughters of the
Republic of Texas banded together to
save the old relic, and issued an APP
peal for financial aid.
OF all the many places In San An

Alamo is the most important. Here

The Alamo ruins stand right in the
center of the town at one corner of the
military plaza. The mission was or
iginally built by the Franciscan monks
in 171S, and it became a military garri-
son in 1888. At this time the name
Alamo was first attached to it. Col.
Travis and his men took refuge in the
place during the war for Texan indie
pendence, and on Feb. %, 1886, the
Mexican force surrounded them and
began to lombard the old mission.

THE WORLDS BREAKFAST.
The New Cereal Industry Represents
an Investment of Hundred Mil

Battle Greek, Mich, helps to digest
food for millions of people scattered
over the world. Every day the rail-

vators, from the Western farms
thousands of bushels of wheat and
corn, and every day a long train load
of cooked cereal foods leaves the city
for the worlds markets. The stream
of raw grain, as it flows through the
mills, is converted, by various cook

A TYPICAL LONDON EVENING.
Crowd at Private establishments and
Sometimes Visitors Cannot Get in.

We mad recently a typical London
season evening. We dined at Lady vi

as there were two big parties-Lady

Salisbury's in Arlington street. We
drove down Piccadilly with much diff

spite of our white card" but finally
did arrive at Lady Derby's. The stair
case was a mass of people struggling
to get in, an orchestra playing, and
aboue 1900 people in the rooms that
would hold comfortably about half.
OF course on such occasions one
doesn't talk. We spoke to our host
and hostess, were carried on by the
crowd made tour of the rooms, and
got down again with much waiting
and jostling, as there were two cur

we did finally get our carriage, and

FARMERS 10 COMBINE.
Plans Perfected for a National CO.
lucrative Associatiou.

Plans Perfected for a National CO.
operative Association.
Organization of the farmers of the
country into vast cooperation associa-
ton was successfully effected in the first
meeting of the advisory board" APP
pointed by the convention which held a
session in the Grand Pacific Hotel Chi
cago. The board, which at present con-
sists of six members, representing three
societies devoted to the agricultural in
terests of different sections, will begin
recruiting campaign among other organ
izations of a similar character planning
to enlist every farmers society in the
work.
According to the motion under which
the advisory board was appointed, each
organization which throws it's interest
with the cooperative association is en-
titled, while maintaining its distinctive
individuality and membership, to two
representatives upon the central body,
called for the present the advisory
board" Since the announcement of this
intention nine other organizations in the
middle West have applied for member
ship.
The headquarters of the board will be
in Chicago during this preliminary stage,
and the work of enlisting the sympathy
of the nations farmers with the move
.nent will be continued, with Chicago as
a center, until the first of December, at
the opening Of the annual live stock show,
at which time every society which has
manifested its intention of joining will
send two delegates as members of the
board. From this number an executive
committee will be elected which will take
IN hand the working out of the details of
cooperation. Fifty farmers associations
are expected to be allied to the move
ment by that time.
The avowed object Of the association is
to regulate distribution, placing this func-
ton in the hands of the farmers them
selves instead of the "middlemen." This
will make necessary the construction of
elevators and warehouses throughout the
country. Discussion of capitalization so
that this would be possible, occupied
much of the time of the convention.
State representatives or correspond
ents have been appointed by the adj
visory board in every State in the coun-
try to assist in the task of enlisting the
farmers as individuals and the farmers
associations in the movement.
