In Front Of Tunnel
Train.

Of MacFadyen & Co. bankers, whose sus-
pension was announced Saturday, COM
mitted suicide within an hour after posting
the notice of the failure on the door Of
the bank. by throwing himself before
train in tunnel about half mile away
from his place Of business.
Mr.. MacFadyen appears to have gone di-
rect from his bank TO a station Of the City
& South London railway. to have entered
the tunnel unobserved and deliberately
laying down in front Of an approaching
train The engineer reported having re-
ported running over an obstruction in the
tunnel and a search revealed a shoolSingly
nutiliated body. which today was identl-
fed as that of Mr.. MacFadyen. It IS ru-
mored that the failure Of MacFadyen &
Co., the London house Of Arbutnot & Co,
bankers Of Madras, was connected with the
cotton market. but as Mr.. MacFadyen was
the sole partner in Europe It is difficult to

Cooperative Business congress, with a large
attendance OF delegates from the western
and southern states. met here today. c. w.
PeclSham of Haven. Kan, president Of the
Farmers Elevator association of Kansas,
speaking of the congress said: Our pur-
pose in calling this kind Of meeting is to
more closely unite the agricultural inter-
ests Of the west and south. It is not our in
tention to organize trust OF the farmers.
IT has been said that we propose to increase
the price of wheat stated amount This
we intend TO do. but not by organizing
and demanding that the consumers pay
more for our produce. II we can sell our
products to the southern associations at a
higher price than we receive from the mid
dlemen and can enable the southern pro-
ducers to hold their produce. We will work
out a plan whereby the price of farm pro-
ducts win naturally work higher"
C., S. Barrett Of Georgia, president OF the
National Farmers union, in an address
said.
In the south we have raised the price of
cotton to II cents, we have built ware
houses and hold our cotton until the price
is right. We gin our own cotton and have
cotton mills, woolen mills and canneries,
all owned by the farmers. The farmers in
the north can do the same with their
crops"

Luck VS.. Management.

The Inland Farmer talks interesting
ly about those farmers who never seem
to thrive, even when they have no
bad habits We have seen an item on
the same subject which called it luck
VS.. pluck, but probably management
is a better word
The farmers who most need our
sympathy are those who believe that
with different environments they
could achieve great success; while
under existing circumstances they
have never experienced anything but
direct hardship.
They seem to believe that Divine
Wisdom has placed them in this pO-
sitiOn, and it is useless to struggle
against it.
Every item they find in print about
the IMAM with the hoe being brother
to the OK is laid to heart, and an
account of farmers who have come
from nothing to owning every COM
fort and luxury, with large bank ac-
cOunts, only serve to render them
more dissatisfied with their less ia
yOred lot. They go through life

During the first two or three years
l had practically a monopoly of the
early tomato business, but soon the
novelty of the thing wore off, and
New York buyers began to look around
to see if they could not secure early
tomatoes at a lower price. Then l
had some competition. but the demand
was so large. and all I have shipped
to New York has been taken up
so eagerly, that believe there is room
for as many as desire to raise them.

Is He a Coward?

ages to get along with some very try
ing people without hint of harsh
measures. Is it because he knows the
people are very likely to strike back,
while the animals will not? That
sounds like the position of coward

is a strong flavor of both in the make

He wants to move to another state.
Now let him go to work to fix it up

management. it will be worth $1,000,
