thoughts IOr Tobacco tarmeTS
Messrs. Editors: would prefer to write on my
experience a farmer with fruit. wheat, or other
farm products If L were not more interested In
tobacco and in sympathy with the growers as l
know from experience of lifetime of about
sixty years, that tobacco cost the average farmer
more hard and constant labor, more outlay of
money than any other crop, and margin at
present price, unless you are so fortunate to
be fdvorablv situated, and owner of kind of land
that will produce the finest type. Even In this
case the profit is small while the average of all
the tobacco sold on the largest loose tobacco
ket in the world falls below the cost of produc-
tion caused by the A. T. Company holding the
situation and keeping back "the marginal part of
the price, of the raw material that the farmers
ought to Justly have to build up the waste places
on the farms, and bring about better feeling
and prosperous condition to all directly Or IN
directly connected in the growing of tobacco.
Brother tobacco grower, why is 1T we are reap
ing nothing on an average for investment!
/ say it is our fault. We should have organized
immediately after the organization of the A. L.
Company and controlled the price of the rlghtful
part of the raw material stop the production
This is day in the progress OF time that Or
ganized capital should be met by similar organ

branches of organization in agriculture and hor-
ticulture and fall in line with the Tobacco Grow
ers' Protective Association, and let us unitedly
work for better prices? The proceeds Will be dis
tributed over larger area, and reach more needy
destitute persons.

THOUGHTS FOR FARMERS.
The Food Question.

Very few of the intelligent farmers know how
much it costs to furnish their table one year:
Nearly all of them use and waste much more food
than is necessary Our Southern people have in
berited a liberal hospitality If the editor of The
Progressive Farmer should visit the home OF any
of his well-to-do readers, he would find enough
food on the table for twice the number to be fed
1t falls to the lot of the writer now and then to
eat with tenant on the farm. With no servant
to feed We have seen fried ham ON the table sui
fcient for the breakfast of five six people, when
there were only three to eat. Ii the family mas
pig or two, the surplus go to them, but 1t is
a bad habit to cook extravagantly. Children get
erroneous ideas of economy. We knew woman
once who would have two three kinds OF meat
on the table and for desert several kinds OF pre-
serves pies and cakes. The whole layout was IN
exceedingly bad taste and far from appetzng.
Every mother of family should study rigid econ
omy in cooking. At the same meal there should
be no vulgar variety as though one was trying TO
make display. Cook just enough for the need OF
the family and no more. Better be a little snort
rather than have lot of food lett over. buC
even with care there will be cleft overs, but the
careful manager will have savory hash or meat
pies out of the scraps of meat and biscuits and
loaf bread will go into toast
What Does Food Cost?
Mrs. Alice Brice kept the mess hall at Ersklne
College, Due West S. @. She received salary.
The charge for students 800 a month With
that she hired cooks and walters, bought 1000 ana
-
surplus $235OO, which was divided amongst the
81 students. There were complaints as to
quantity or quality of food. The cost was about
$3.50 month. In the home where fuel Is not
bought and the cook not hired and a good cow or
two kept the table expenses will be brought down
pretty low, provided the farmer makes his own
bread garden truck and potatoes The thrifty
housewife can furnish good table every day
and SUNDAY at $3.50 to $500 month, provided
they raise supplies at home. 1t would be good
lesson for children, especially the girls to study
kitchen economy The French women are SAID to
be experts in that sort of work. and they can take
the cold odds and ends of meal, usually wasted
IN the South, and get up excellent dinner or
supper. We saw young professional man start
ing out in the right way few days ago. he
bought a soup bone He said we will cook that
and get meat enough for hash for breakfast and
the balance with the bone will give US fine SOUP
Tor dinner. Nothing will be wasted in that home

If they pursue the same plan few years they will
be buying or doing without milk and butter. Fresh
milch COWS bring $4,000 to $4,000. These
same calves sold to the butcher at $3.50 to $3.50,
if fed well would bring $1,000 to $500 when a
year DID, Every farmer should endeavor to raise
surplus COW two every year. 1t does not cost
as much to raise mich COW as bale of cotton.
A few acres of land set in Bermuda grass and
few acres of sorghum will feed several cattle
year, especially if a little pea vine hay and cot
ton seed meal are added.

 an economic equilibrium. There are more people than there is work for them to do. And the government Is unhappy because she has no colonies of importance to which she can send them hence they have to renounce their flag and their home and own allegiance to some other ruler.
 In a personal way, the only strong impression made on MT. Day was the diminutive appearance of everything. It all seemed so much smaller than 1t did when he was a boy, and it was small enough then. The houses and farms and in fact the whole countries themselves seemed so small and cramped and crowded, after living in this great big west where people think nothing of thousand mile journey to transact a little business, that there was continually a sort of a feeling of restraint and depression; a lack of the freedom he had grown accustomed to. Six and 2 half millions of people in the one city of London, that could be dumped down in this valley without pumping anybody on the edges; more people than could be scraped together
 in dozen of the western states.
 MT. Lay ana lTdNeleU ny ll- North German Lloyd line. sailing from Galveston on the Wittekind and return ing on the Hanover They went from Galveston direct to Bremen where they stayed three days. then went to Lon don which they made headquarters and had rooms during the summer. making visits from there to Bedford, Cam bridge, Huntingdon, Oxford and other counties. MT. Day was born within six miles of Bedford, John. Bunyan's home. While there he visited with two sisters of his father, one aged seventy eight and the other eighty years and he was surprised to find them as smooth faced and as active as he was.
 He was in London in May at the opening of what is known as the Kings Way, a new and beautiful street that was formed hy the tearing down of the old rookeries that had existed for centuries between Holborn and the Strand. It Is a magnificent street and 1t was on this occasion that the Day party got a good view of royalty from an excellent and near point of want age King Edward as everybody knows is a very well fed looking gen. tleman of striking appearance but his consort is not quite so familiar to the eye of the common people, her picture being less frequent in the public prints However. MT. Day is authority for the announcement that she is a handsome woman and appears much younger than he had supposed she would. As the royal carriage passed by she bowed continuously in acknowledgement of the plaudits of the multitude. It was also during his visit to London that

REISS' CARNIVAL
Will be One of the Attractions of the
 Territorial Fair.

After all Nat Reiss with his South ern Carnival company is to be in Phoenix during fair week. but as q part of the big show rather than a counter attraction. The carnival ag- gregation is now showing in southern California and P. A. Tharaldson in stead of going to Texas as was at first intended, left a couple of days ago for Riverside, California, for a conference with MT. Reiss. Last evening he wired J. c. Adams that he had closed contract with MT. Reiss
 That is all the information received of a definite nature but it is assumed that the contract calls for the showing of the carnival company on The Has sayamp. or funny street of the fair grounds. The efforts of the carnival people to show in Phoenix were op- posed at first for the reason that Mr. Reiss desired to have the show on the streets or somewhere in town where he could hold nightly performances. It was believed that would detract a great deal from the interest at the fair grounds, or to a great extent di- vide the crowds. Later there was an effort made between the fair manage ment and MT. Reiss' representative who was here at the time, to come to some agreement whereby the carnival company would show at the fair grounds in the day time cutting out the night performance for the reason that it was thought that with con- tinuous entertainment from early morning until evening, during the en- tire week. 1t would be taxing the strength of the people to keep them up all night, or more likely would de- tract from the forenoon crowds at the fair grounds.
 Just what kind of an agreement has been made by MT. Tharaldson now is not known but whatever it is it is most likely a harmonious compromise between Mr. Reiss and the fair man. agement.

ADJUSTMENTS

The next attraction coming to the Hardwick theater will fill Hong felt want" a good up-to-date minstrel show. Gus Suns American Minstrels will make their third annual visit to Phoenix next Wednesday and Thurs day, Nov. 29-30. This minstrel com pany is too well known here to need much local advertising. Many of the old favorites have been retained this season and some new minstrel head liners added so that altogether they will be able to deliver the goods to the fullest measure, and as the ma jority of theater patrons never fail to aattend the minstrel SHOWS good au- diences are an assured fact for next Wednesday and on Thanksgiving night, Thursday, Nov 29 and 30.

Mir Day got peep at Alfonso of Spain.
 He said the young man is tall and ap- peared to very good advantage. espe- cially when 1t was considered that only the day before he had dodged a bomb that some murderous individual had thrown at him, an incident not calcu- lated to quiet the nerves of an auto
 crat who tarried among six and a half millions of people who once upon time had whetted their dag gers for his ancestors.
 Among other places visited was Tor quay where he had lived for a few years when q boy. This is a coast re- zion with southern aspect, and shel- tered by high limestone cliff. It was here he saw his only glimpse of the tropics while in England, which all summer long was chilly and damp, so much so that there was not a week when a fire in the room was not neceS sary At Torquay he saw palms, cen- tury plants, eucalyptus trees and other things that made him think of Arizona. Another place that gave him a thought or home was Dartmoor, a section of Devonshire. He took in that country on foot spending a week walking around the moors. The reminder Of the west in this case was the fact that the cattle there range the country somewhat as they do here and are branded as they are in this country. The same Is also true of the Dartmoor ponies a small breed of horses similar to the Shetlands and very popular in England.
 Leaving London finally the party crossed to Dieppe and Paris and trav- eled through Belgium and Germany back to Bremen and Bremenhaven again They did not stay long in the German cities for they could not speak the language and were at a disadvant- age. Leaving Bremenhaven for home they crossed the bay of Biscay and touched next at Coruna, Spain. They were given about twenty hours ashore there while the ship was taking on board about 800 passengers for Ha- Vana. Their next stop was at Havana but no one went ashore save those routed to that port on account of the yellow fever which was supposed to be still quite epidemic. Landing at Gal weston, they made a short visit in Fort Worth, then came home via Trinidad Colo. where they also stopped for 3 brief time.

BUCKEYE RANCHMAN'S
 TOUR OF EUROPE
Visit of James 5. Day to His Old Home
 After a Generations Absence.

MT. and Mrs. James s. Day and their nine year old daughter, returned yes terday morning from a seven months tour in Europe, having left Phoenix on April 26. There is a little bit of T lesson to be drawn from the mere fact that they made the trip, for MT. Day is a Buckeye rancher and there are few countries outside of Arizona where the farmers can make money enough to take thn.r families for a summer trip half way round the world and travel ir comfort all the time. And that is what Mir Day and his family did. MT. Day was born in Bedford, England, but left there thirty-three years ago. He took the triu for . variety of reasons but mainly because he wanted to see his many relatives who still live there and because ke wanted to compare Ameri- ican fife with conditions in the old world, now that he was able to do so with a full knowledge of the facts on both stdas Of the water.
 He says the trip was one continuous round of pleasure as he was not sick fifteen minutes during the whole seven months and Mrs. Day only had the very lightest kind of an attack of sea sickness for a couple of days while
 
 never missed a train or a boat. They saw many old world wonders, includ ing the king and queen of England and the king of Spain, and had delightful visits with MT. Days many relatives. On one occasion he sat down to dine with two cousins, both having his own name exactly. It was three of kind and therefore a good hand. The only comment he has to make is that he IS more than ever contented to remain an American; not because the people are any better but because of condl- tions. In the old country people gen. orally are either very well to do or very poor and if the latter, there is but small chance to improve ones condi- tion. In England agriculture is on the wane rather than the increase because of over population and inability to pro- duce crops at prices that will compete with the imported products. Many of the former farms have been turned in to deer parks. He says there are in cultivation . million acres less land than ten years ago. In Germany he was told that it is actually necessary for the nation to dispose of a million

Going through the hospitals in our large cities one is surprised to find such a large proportion of the patients lying on those snow-white beds women and girls, who are either awaiting or recovering from serious opera tions.
 Why should this be the casep Sim ply because they have neglected them selves. Ovarian and womb troubles are certainly on the increase among the women of this country-they creep upon them unawares, but every one of those patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at left or right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, leucorrhea, dig ziness, iatulency, displacements of the womb or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an un- healthy condition of the ovaries or womb, and if not needed the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation. When these symptoms manifest them selves. do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hospital and sub init to an operation -bu remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved thousands of women from surgical operations

 The following letters cannot fail to bring hope to despairing women.
 Mrs. Fred Seydel, 412 N. 54th Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 q I was in very serious condition when l wrote to you for advice. had 6 serious womb and ovarian trouble and 1 could not carry a child to maturity, and was advised that an operation was my only hope of recovery. l could not bear to think of going to the bospi- tai, so wrote you for advice l did as you in structed me and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; and l am not only well woman to-day, but have beautiful baby girl six months old. l advise all sick and suffering women to write you for advice, as you have done so much for me-"
 Miss Ruby Mushrush, Of East Chicago, Ind, writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 "I have been great sufferer with irregular menstruation and ovarian trouble, and about three months ago the doctor, after using the X-Ray on me, said 1 had an abcess on tho ovaries and would have to have an operation. My mother wanted me to try Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound as last resort, and it not only saved me from an operation but made me entirely well"
 Lydia E. Pnkham's Vegetable Com pound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best.
 Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. Her advice and medicine have restored thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass.
