onstration. People Of any given
section who think they have a soil
that will produce tobacco will do
we'll to write to me, and | will visit
their locality as soon as possible
and make the necessary investiga-
tons. regard right now as being
the great turuing point in the agrl.
cultural condition of East Texas,
and especially with reference to
the future money crop of the farm
ers; to use a homely phrase, the
bread and meat crop. The pres.
ence of the genuine boil weevil in
this section makes it absolutely inn
perative upon the farmer to turn
from cotton.raising to something
safe and at the same time more re-
munerative. A great many are
already giving some attention to
diversification in the way of fruit
and truck farming. In my opinion
tobacco-raising is the industry
upon which the future agricultu-
raj prosperity of East Texas must
ultimately depend. 1t may there
fore, after all be more a matter of
providence than a calamity that
the boil weevil has arrived and is
forcing the people to turn their at
tention to other pursuits than that
of raising cotton as the sole money
crop. As a substitute, in every
way better and more remunerative,
| suggest that we all turn our at
tention to the marvellous undeyel-
loped possibilities contained in the
soil Of the East Texas country,
principal Of which is tobacco pro-
duction.
| Mr.. Shelter at this point pro-
duced copy of the Gladsden
County Times, published at Quincy
Fla. which contained the following
statement with reference to the
business enterprises OF Quincy;
"In Quincy are a number OF great
tobacco. packing warehouses. They
are mammoth three story brick
buildings, reminding you Of i'm
mense cotton factories. Here the
tobacco goes through all the yari.
Gus stages of preparation for the
markets of the world. A tobacco
packing house is worth more to a
town than a cotton factory, As IL
employs more people. These es'
adjustments employ upwards OF
I 1000 people, mostly negroes.
They are paid their wages weekly,
from which source Sl5, 900 is dis.
tnbuted in the town every Satur-

Now, | wish to emphasize the
| point" said Mr.. Shelter, "that the
production and manufacture Of to-
bacco gives employment to class

Very Remarkable Cure Of Diarrhosa.

severe attack of diarrhoea, says
Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Tex

been cured by it. The case was so
similar TO my own that | concluded

wonderful. | could hardly realize

long, but that one bottle OF medicine,
costing but few cents, cured me.

On the kronprinz Wilhelm one
moonlight May night, young man
and girl were discovered making
love. The news of this discovery
spread among the passengers and
many joke was crooked. But Sen

said in the smoking room
There is nothing 10 laugh athere.
Innocent love-making is natural in
the young. This fact was well
brought out by an adventure that
happened to friend Of mine, years
ago, in the mountains of West Vir-
ginia.
The young man was hunting.
He came to a lonely cabin, and, be,
ing thirsty, he knocked at the door
and asked for a drink. The drink
was handed to him by a girl SC
charming that, with a smile, he
said
Would you be angry il | should
offer you a dollar for kiss p
No, sir, the girl answered with
little blush.
So my friend took the kiss. and
then he gave the maiden the dollar.
She balanced ii in her hand a mo-

Some years ago there was an old

ty, whose decisions, in consequence
OF numerous reversals, did not al

One day, in case in which he was
sitting, one of the lawyers lost pa
tience at his inability to see things
in certain light, and in the heat of
the moment remarked that the in
tellect of the court was SO dark a

Judge showed disposition to be
very severe with the offender, and
1t was only after much persuasion
by friends OF the latter that he Weld

Cooperation is the secret Of these re-
markable economic conditions. BY
combining. exercising thrift. discretion
and a good deal Of self-denial the Ave
cents daily expended purchases enough
to keep each Ruskinite robust and

might living in the open air and exer-
cising vigorously. In any case they
are proud of having demonstrated
something. They are living on the low
est daily expenditure that is possible,
and that is a triumph OF sort
Here is an outline OF the fashion in
which this economic miracle is accom-
plished:
All provisions are bought at whole
Gale and in large quantities. They are
then cooked in the community kitchen
and cooked, of course, by the colonists.
Socialists do not employ. servants.
When cooked, the food is served In the
community dining-room. whore tables
are set for 300 persons.
Vegetables are the chief article OF the
Ruskinite diet. and as they are raised
by the community itself they are abun-
dant and cheap. In seasons when fewer
vegetables are produced the daily cost
OF living Is Increased from five to seve,
