Cooperation a Money Saver.

Every intelligent farmer needs hIs OWL
local weekly newspaper and a good agri
cultural family publication. He can't run
his home or farm successfully without
either of them.
A combination Of the two, at cost not
far from the regular price of one, is CO.
operation which saves the farmer money,
and gives him two papers every week for
one year, filed with all news of local in

and successful farming

Convenience Of the Telephone.
DOES AWAY WITH UNNECESSARY LABOR AND
PLACES THE MERCHANT IN CLOSE TOUCH
WITH HIS PATRONS.

The first impulse of a man who has
been successful in business is to put out
the increment in an equally profitable
investment. 1t is this same impulse that
impels the business man to avail himself
of every opportunity to bring more Gus
toners to his store; to spend large sums
for advertising; and to do everything in
his power for the convenience Of his pa
irons.
1t is obvious, therefore, that every firm
or business house in Sealord that is using
telephone for business purposes has
found that it offers a greater convenience
to customers than any means that could
be employed at the same cost. It also
proves definitely, that a telephone in a
business house does away with unneces-
sary labor, that it places the merchant in
immediate touch with his patrons; that
1t is a most powerful agent in producing
new customers, and that it saves time in
the transaction of business.
The Diamond State Telephone Com
pany will install an American Bell Tele-
phone in your place of business and serve
you 385 days for S25. A residence tele-
phone with the same service costs Sl2 per
year. At these figures to the residence
or farm house a telephone is an absolute
necessity, to business house on busi-
ness basis it is Indispensable.

Seasons Tomato Pack.

The pri-State Gamers Association held
one of the best attended and most enthu.
siastic meetings in its history at the Clay.
ton House in Wilmington, last week the
object being to ascertain the amount oil
the pack of tomatoes during the past sea
son. The association members operate
about 400 canneries in Delaware, Mary
land and New Jersey, and nearly every
factory was represented Reports were
received from nearly all sections Of the
three States where the canneries are To-
lated, and arrangements were made from
repOsts from those sections which had
not sent in their'statistics.
According to the reports it was shown
that the pack of the past season was
only about go per cent. of that of last
year,the reason attributed being the fail
ure of the tomato crop in many sections.
The exact proportion has not vet been
ascertained, and it cannot be until the
figures submitted have been tabulated
AT the meeting the reports were made
by counties, and the figures showed that
those making the reports had made a
careful study OF the situation in their ter
ritory.
What effect this will have on prices
during the coming winter is not known,
as his matter will be regulated largely
by the demand. Members Of the associ. |
alton, who were spoken to on this point, |
SAID they were not prepared to give any
information at this time and they woald |
not know until they learned something
OF the demand

neglected by the boss buster crowd We

matter with Bent Murdoch? Is there
something s'on'' him that he should be
treated with indifference and scorn by
the Victors?
Atchiscn Globe: Every little while we

looked at him in the searching way q
man learns from dealing with bums,

Niedringhaus' Successor Fails to Sc
cure Enough Votes.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 14.-In the
ballot on United States senator most Of
the Neidringhaus strength was thrown
to Judge Seldom P. Spencer of St. Louis,
who was chosen as a compromise candi-
date last night in the Republican eau
Gus. The vote was not elective, as a
majority of 80 was necessary to a choice.
Seven pairs were announced The ball
lot resulted:
Spencer. 81; Niedringhaus, S; Cockrell.
&c; BarthoIdt, 2; Warner, /; Kerens, Il.
When the result of the ballot was an
nounced there was considerable excite

with spectators in the expectation that
the deadlock that has existed since jan
uary Is, might be broken. AS the ball
loting proceeded the Kerens supporters
held together for their candidate but the
Niedringhaus forces turned to the COM
promise candidate, Spencer, with the
exception of five.
No election resulting another ballot
was ordered. This resulted in a loss
of one vote for Niedringhaus and
gain of three for Spencer. Warner
dropped out and Kerens lost one vote.
However, the vote was not decisive.

GARFIELD IS COMING.
VIII Hold Star Chamber Investigation
of Oil Situation.

Washington, March Thames r.
Garfield, commissioner of corpora
lions, will be in the Kansas oil field
personally to direct the investigation
of his special agents in less than two
weeks time Mr. Garfield will leave
Washington tomorrow and after a few
days in New York. Ohio and Chicago
will reach Kansas City. From there
he will go into the oil fields. whatever
may be the desire of the oil producers
and their latest acquisition, Frank
Monnett. the discredited Standard Oil
trustee of Ohio. Mr.. Garfield will
not hold "open court sessions unless
he greatly changes his mind from
now on.
Mr.. Garfield will visit Topeka and will
confer with Governor Hoch and AttOr-
ney General Coleman and with Seth
Wells, auditor of state, who lives in the
oil sections, and is familiar with the
situation. The commissioner Of corpor-
atoms will then visit Chanute, hide
pendence and other points in the oil
field sending his special agents here
and there.
Mr. Garfield is not at all disconnected
by the resolutions of the Kansas senate
cation. He knows that in spite of the
effort made to convince Washington of
the contrary these resolutions never
were adopted by the house of represent
tatives He also knows that it was
Frederick Dumont Smith who was the
author of the resolutions and VIII re-
member this fact when he reaches Kan
Sas and meets some of those prominent
in their retention as attorneys for the
Oil Producers association. The presi-
dent has the fullest confidence in Gar
field and believes and conSt family asserts
that Garfield's investigation of Stand
ard Oil in Kansas. Indian Territory and
Texas will be full, thorough, far-reach-
ing and satisfactory.
