Land Fraud Conference.
AS the result of conferences held at
the white house with President
Roosevelt, further developments in
land fraud cases in Oregon and Cali
fornia may be expected soon. Since
the first steps were taken looking to
the prosecution of the alleged offend
ers, the president has shown keen in
tereSt in the Investigations which have
been made and in the indictments
which followed. Those at the CONFER
ence with the president were Secretary
Hitchcock, Attorney General Moody
and Special Attorney Henry, who dis
cussed with him the evidence so far
gathered. Later in the day he held a
conference with Secretary Hitchcock,
Mr.. Henry and the secretary of the ser
vice, Inspector Burns, who was active
in bringing about number of arrests.
ir hot n II Of oti
was mapped out and the statement
was made that it would not occasion
surprise if further arrests are dered.
From reliable source the information
was cleaned that the president pro
poses to carry the prosecutions to a fl,
nal conclusion as vigorously as were
the postoffice cases.
Miles Wins in Conference.
/ The conferees on the army appropri-
alton bill perfected an agreement
which covers all the points off differ

ments in the bill in conference the
senate recedes from -four and the

THE COOPERATIVE BELT.

Across the Country From the N0rth
Atlantic states TO the PaciRc.
A letter from an attache or the bu-
reau OF statistics at Washington to the
editor OF the National Co-operator con-
tains the following interesting facts
concerning the cooperative movement
among farmers. He says:
THE magnitude OF the farmers CO.

sources OF United States government

tistics. The best that ono can do f. 70

say that the membership OF the farm
ers' cooperative associations IN this
country amounts TO not less than
o.OOOOO0 aud may reach 100000.
These numbers, however. contain du-
plic0tes. duplicates and quadruplicates,
because some farmers may and often
do belong TO n cooperative creamery
association. cooperative telephone
association, cooperative fair associa-
tion. Il cooperative elevator associa-
ton, cooperative insurance assocla-
lions OF four sorts and others. I have
had correspondence with farmers in al
most every county In the United States,
and In consequence II Is my rough
opinion that after eliminating duplI-
Gates, etc. about 100000 farmers, iu-
Guiding With them comparatively
small number OF farm laborars, are
members OF cooperative associations.
Only few OF these farmers live In the
south Atlantic and south central
states. 50 that the farmers co-opera-

the pipe is four or five inches from the

SOME NEW LACE STITCHES

TREAD In the new flet lace embroidery.
In this lace work the designs are woven
into fine or coarse mesh net by darn
Ing instead OF by the cross-stitch. as in
Russian serim embroidery. In fact. the
vogue for cross-stitch embroidery has
rather given way TO filet lace work,
which closely resembles filet-guipure.
The real filet lace is enjoying a decided
popularity for insertions and edgings on
table covers. center pieces and counter
panes. At large dinner given this
month by well-known society woman
the long table was covered with a mag
nihcent linen cloth. Oblong insets of

q dull-pointed needle and mercerized
cotton, silks or crewels IN seh-tone or
contrasting shades may be employed for
the dRrning. The needle is drawn over
one thread OF the mesh and under the
other, as in the simple darning process,
the holes being filled in by two or three
crossings OF the thread. Another meth
Cd OF filling the holes is to have the
threads pass diagonally over the tiny
square. crossing each other in the CEN
