Diversifcstion, am glad to say,
has reached a practical stage, and
is now the rule rather than the ex.
ception. The principal factors in
bringing this about, | believe, are
the uncertainty Of making corn

Examples Of Diversiiieaiiou.
To show you what a wide range
diversification is taking, We will
call your attention to what some OF
our farmers are doing, and con.

Mr.. G.. s. Foster of Providence

pork raising, and is sanguine in
his expectations Of success. At

is much better situated for hog.

farmers. The fertility of the soil
of old Brazos is well known and is
AS sure to produce a good crop of
corn each year as any portion of
the state.
Mr.. Hensraling, near Wellborn,
has eight or nine acres Of ribbon
cane, from which he will press a
goodly number OF barrels of juice,
that will make the best grade Of
molasses, and find a ready sale at
SOC per gallon.
Mr.. +. W. Yeager, below Mill.
can, is preparing to set ! acre o
more to strawberries. He says
that with proper care and cultiya-
ton some soils of Brazos will pro.
duce as fine berries as the Alvin
fields. MIR. Yeager is an expert.
enoed truck grower, which should
add weight to what he says.
}. ID. Steele Of the same communl.
ty believes that Brazos was made
TO grow sweet potatoes, and is prov
ing it too. His crop this year will
be 500 bushels or more for which
he will find a good market at near.

LOGANSPORT, Ind, Feb. 19.-Lo-

Inspector Kilc and six robbers. Seventy
five shots were fired, and Kile chased
the robbers into Illinois, finally arrest

his abdomen. Monday night he died
from the wounds and exposure. He had
lain on the frozen ground for fourteen
hours when found. While dying he said
he had been shot by a brakeman of Il
train on which he was beating his way
from Danville, Ill.,, to Toledo, o. But
the overcoat he wore when found had
no bullet holes. In the pockets were
found some postage stamps No rela-

elusive evidence that the dead man was
not shot by trainman as he said. or
by fellow tramps is in the fact that
although bullet wounds were found
in his arm, the shot had not penetrated
the coat Sleeve This fatty contradicts
the story that he had been shot in a
fight with a trainman. The quantity of
stamps found in his possession was
small.

WORDS OF WISDOM
!"
BY HERBERT G. CASSON.

There Is more truth than fancy in
this remark, and it is safe to say that
any body OF workers who care more
Tor beer, horse racing, prize, fights and
the latest murder than they do for the
success of their union will always be
badly Differed and poorly paid.
Empty heads make empty pockets.
What can be expected of.a union that
will generously o. X. every bill for free
cigars; c1ambakes and picnics, and yet
will haggle for an hour over a small
account for trades union literature?
What can be hoped for from unions
which will turn: out five hundred strong
to dance and" only fifteen to lec-
ture? These are the vital questions
that trades unionists must answer.
these point out the weak places that
must be, made strong.
When corporation holds an i'm
portant meeting every stakeholder is
in his place. That is why corporations
are. ruling the country. When a trades
union holds an important meeting only
40 per cent Of its members are in their
places. That is why trades unions are
not ruling the country.
Years ago Carlyle said: ''This CUES
ton of the Organization of labor is
the greatest problem in the world"
To-day even the professors Of political
economy are realizing this to- be true.
Unionism is growing and developing
in many directions. In score or
more Of cities the unions already con-
troll questions, therefore, that relntes to
good citizenship and practical politics
must be studied. Uuicnism should be
taken INFO. every political contest in
the country. Every strike shows the
necessity If having mayors, sheriffs,
governors and congressman who are:
not the PUPPETS Of the trusts.
Up-to-date' >utiionism will unite it's
votes. It will bend all energies to
elect all officeholders from pathmasrcr
to president. 1t will build up tn, cir
culation Of it's trade papers until the
daily press will be compelled to echo
| their editorials. 1t will choose as it's
leaders men who can hold their own
with the lawyers and capitalists large
minded, masterful men, who will
everywhere command respect. 1t will
attract to it's cause all that is sound
and sensible in the middle and pro-
fessional classes and carry on it's war
| agaisnt the exploiters and parasites un-
til industry and government are both
purified from special privileges and
every form Of Justice. Then, when
everyone works, the labor union move
ment will become another name for the
| whole American nation.

1t Is not so many years since It was
a crime in the eyes of the law to be-
long to a trades union. Unionism. ar
SON and counterfeiting We're supposed
to be three of kind. Since those days
trades unionism has fought and won,
says Herbert G.. Casson. To-day g.
union is as legal as a bank, and much
more necessary.
The wageworker who does not be-
long to union to-day is regarded
even by his employer, as d stupid dolt.
With more than 100000 unionism
has become the strongest industrial
force in the world.
The mOnOpolist has behind him mil
lions and millions of money! force
that is obedient to the hand that con-
trolls it. The labor leader, on the other
men Of large proportion Of who are
new recruits in the army of unions,
and as. fractions are obstinate as a
team of bucking bronchoes. 1t is
much easier to handle organized money
than organized men.
The fierce glare Of publicity is turn
ed upon the modern labor leader. If
he makes the slightest mistake it is
telegra Pied to every city in the union
A single hasty word may cause him
to lose his case and bring poverty upon
the men who placed him in his pos
ition.
The labor leader of to-day must
have principles Of Steel There are
hundreds of millions at stake in the
! great industrial battles in which he
is a general. He must he not only
above dishonesty, but above the least
suspicion of it.
The leadership of trades union,
therefore, depends on the Intelligence
and stamina Of the rank and file. 1g-
norant men will always choose ignor-
ant leaders. This is why democracy
and education must always go hand
! in hand, else democracy will lead to
! corruption and decay.
| A mob Of men who spend tens of
! thousands year on beer, and yet will
rot support or even read their own
trade paper, cannot secure capable
! leader, except by accident. No clever,
efficient man will, for very long, al
low himself to be ground between two
millstones-the power Of the capitalists
and the ignorance of 1.-the workers
whom he represents.
! Havelock Ellis says that just as we
recognize the Egyptians by their pyra-
mids, the Grecians by their statues,
the Romans by their roads and the
/ Indians by their flint arrow heads,- so
the civilization Of to-day will be recog-
nized by the beer bottle.
