which have heretofore existed to some
extent at least among farmers, en-
abling them to realize that their in
terests are me-, their life one; that
when one farmer prospers all other
farmers prosper; that when disasater
impends all farmers feel the force of
it more or less. Heretofore isola-
ton was the bane of the farmers
life, and particularly so in a COM
paratiyely e country like the West
ern States, where, coming from diff
ferent sections, belonging t. differ
ent sections, belonging to different
churches, often speaking different
languages, there had been no time
for the bonds which should unite
.oped.
Why not go a little further now
and complete the work by the organ
ization of farmers clubs, having no
political ends in view but simply for
the promotion of good fellowship, en-
abling them to understand and sym
pathize with each other; the improve
ment of farm methods, and the study
of the principles underlying their
business? All other lines of business
have their associations of one kind
or another for their mutual benefit.
Why not the farmer? He needs them
more than any other because he is
isolated by the distance be-
tween farms, by the lack heretofore
of means of communication, and
that conservatism and self-reliance
which have always characterized the
farming community and always will.
1t is not necessary to draw up any
constitution or bylaws, at least at
first, for the organization of these
societies. All that is necessary to do
at the first is to have meetings of
neighbors at stated times for the dis
cussion of what seems to be most i'm
portant at the time of the year.
There must be something to bring
them together. Farmers, especially
in the summer time, have no idle mo-
ments to spare. 1t must be some
thing which will be more profitable
than working in the fields, and there
fore it must be something that bears
upon the work of the field and the
farm. Call it a local institute, or
club, or what you will, the essential
thing is for the farmers in a neigh
borhood, say a school district, or part
of a township, to get together at
stated times and talk over matters
which interest them in the line of
their profession. If no special ben
efts are received, getting together at
stated times and understanding each
other will more than pay in the end
for the time and trouble involved.
Why not interpret the word farmer
as meaning the farmers wife as we'll ?
In fact, we doubt very much the feas-
ibility of such a plan unless the wives
and daughters are admitted as well
as the farmers and their sons. We

They are perfectly at home in the ring where thousands change hands each day and where often the public's money goes up in the blue smoke that curls towards the roof from i the peneiilers' fat cigars. On a stool in the middle of the big betting pavilion sits a thickset, good-natured sort of chap with sharp little eyes are always on the alert. This is '-the counselor" or rather Sol Lichtenstein. lightning calculator, a heavy speculator, and one of the shrewest "bookies'' that ever handled a sponge. It is up to Mir. Litchenstein to make the prices. Tn other words, whatever odds he posts first are taken by the other bookmakers as gospel. Litchenstein is rich. He lives like nabob and is a typical man about town. Eddie Burke is wholly in Litchtenstein's class when it comes to figures and handicapping, but Burke is inclined to be less conservative as a. speculator. George Wheelock, another slick proposition in the booking line, is president of the Metropolitan Turf as- sociation. Orlando Jones, always with Vandyke beard, Joe Ullman, of Big Store fame; Leo Mayer, George Rose, Joe Vendig. Ike Thompson and other well known layers are always on deck.
 Of the plungers, the best known is Pittsburg Phil, or George E. Smith. From a cork factory in Pittsburg, where he earned a few dollars a week, this sensational player mounted the steps to affiuence. Pittsburg Phil is rich man. How much he is worth no- body seems to be able to guess But that he has many bales of greenbacks sewed up somewhere all the race track sharps are prone to believe. Whenever one hears of another killing by Pitts burg Phil" possibly the idea takes root that there is a general opening of wine, the lighting of many costly cigars, a banquet with dazzling lights and, in fact, high old time, but nothing could be further from the truth. Phil does not drink at all. neither does he indulge | ill night-hawk revels. He is quiet, stu dious and knows how to beat the horses, something that few can say i Joseph Villa in the Illustrated Sporting
 News.

MEN WHO MAKE RACING.

 Who are the men who make racing?
 From the members of the august Jock ley Club, which is all powerful in it's government of the turf in New York State. to the lowly but well-fixed bet ting commissioner in the club houses on the metropolitan tracks, long list Iof notable persons identified with the tracing of blue-blooded throughbreds lean be made up. One might go on. in endless chain fashion, naming men whose fame has reached from the At lantic to the Pacific, for there are turf pillars, so to speak, on every hand.
 Robert Pinkerton and John Pinker- ton has charge of the race track police and has has a busy time of it, with a
 daily crowd of from 10000 to 10000 peo- pie to look after, with from 25, 900 to 40,-
 900 on holidays as an additional press
 ure. But Pinkerton preserves order
 with little fuss and feathers, showing
 what real discipline will do when en-
 forced. Cavanagh is the man in the
 ring" He is the man to see in case
 there is trouble over bet. Being con-
 stantly in the ring Cavanagh must have
 become hardened, for there is the place
 where everybody lives on excitement.
 There it is that the greatest football matches between struggling teams of wonld-be bettors take place each day,

SETTLING UP IN THE SOUTH.
Primitive Methods in the Rural Dis
 tricts.

Primitive Methods in the Rural Dis
 tricts.
 T have just completed my first busi- ness trip through the south,' said a New York commercial traveller, whose territory heretofore had been the north west. Except in the larger cities, found merchants doing business by the old methods. In some of the mountain towns the old credit just how they do it, but I think the system still prevails. don't know is on some system of rec- iprocity.
 T was in a store in eastern Tennessee when an old family doctor came in to settle his account. The merchant owed him for professional services and he owed the merchant for dry goods and groceries. After they had com pared accounts the merchant owed the doctor something over dollar
 Shall we settle up now or let it go over on next years account?' asked the merchant
 "'I reckon we'd better settle now, was the reply. I have patient up the creek that needs some cod liver oil, and as haven't any and you have you can square by giving me the difference in the cod liver.
 t The cod liver is only a dollar, Doc, and still owe you something over. Do you think of any little thing you'd like to make it even, or how?'
 "The merchants stock was general merchandise, including druggists sun dries. The old doctor looked around for few minutes, and then said:
 "'You might make the balance in a porous plaster. I've got to put one on Jim Hoffington, who sprained his back yesterday trying to pry his wagon out of the mire.'
 "The merchant got out the article and handed it over. Then he figured and said
 That leaves me five cents in your debt, Doc. How'll you have it?'
 | You might give me nickeps worth of court plaster to make it even. I've got a case about a mile out here where it'll come handy.
 And so the account was squared.
 Another thing I noticed in the south ern towns that never saw in the north or northwest; most of the newspapers print a chapter from the Old Testament in each issue. If not chapter, they print a verse. I was told that in some of the settlements these chapters or texts were cut out by the subscribers and put into scrapbooks. They may have been stringing me about that. -" New York Sun.

processes, from the unginned cotton
to the best refinedI OF cotton seed
oils. The bulls, the cake and the
meal are shown, and then the oil,
from the heavy black grade, to that
clarified yellow which the Italian
magieians so easily transmogrify in
to pure olive oil.
Sugar is shown in the same
progressive way-from the cane to
the highest grade of granulated and
puIverized. Syrup and molasses,
also made in Texas ARE shown, too,
in this department of the exhibit.
Other of these glass panels are filled
with rice, from the rough to the rice
flour. There are in the neighbor-
hood of two hundred of these panels,
and every one of them is filled with
the various grains grown in Toxas.
Just outside the fence these same
grains are shown in sheaf, present
ing the appearance of wheat fields,
oat fields, rice fields, barley fields
and rye fields. The material for this
part of the lexhibit was taken from
this years crop, and this circum-
stance has already excited much
comment as showing how early
these crops mature in Texas.
THE base of the fence is formed,
on the inside, Of all the grasses
grown in Texas, while the outside is
made up of miniature cotton bales
The principal cotton exhibit though
is made mp OF three large bales wrap
ped in silk and with nickel-plated
ties. These are square bales, and in
addition there are ten round bales,
set in different parts of the pavilion.
All of this cotton is of the very finest
grade known to the trade and ii is
from various sections of Texas.
THE inside walls of the pavilion
are decorated in an ingenious man
ner with all the agricultural pro-
ducts of the state, and in the center
Of the pavilion, which makes a room
about twenty feet square, there is a
pyramid Of -four, made up of the pro-
duct of thirty mills. All this flour
is in silk bags.
con one side the pavilion stairs
lead up to the second floor, or rather
a gallery from which one may look
to the first floor. On the walls are
several paintings Of Texas agricul-
tural scenes"

some ASPECTS or THE LABOR pROBLtn

SOME ASPECTS OF THE LABOR PROBLth
Without doubt the question of
greatest menace to the peace of this
country today is that of the right to
labor. The right to labor is, and
ought to be, inherent, and that right
should not be interfered with by
any power, except duly constituted
courts of law. The proposition that
one man, acting as the agent Of
some mutual organization, can call
men from their labor and deny the
right Of any other man to take en-
pioymeut, is repulsive TO the basic
principles Of free government, if not
subversive Of the spirit and letter of
the constitution. The interference
of labor organic atoms with the right
IF nou-uuiou men to accept employ
meut is one of the meuacing prob
Eeus of this generation. Its spirit
Of intolerance is growing, and TAX

uons of capital, controlled by men
whose highest ambitions are the &C
cumulation of gold, it is beginning
so threaten the very existence Of
great manufacturing Industries and
she free movement of commerce.
The riots and disregard Of legal
authority Ia Colorado at the present
time is but an indication Of what
IS to come; a straw showing the
trend of the whirlwind OF disorder
Men have q right TO organize for

right to refuse to work unless they

40 man, nor any organization, has
right: either legal or moral, &C
