Look for Action from Senator.

According to general belief Mr..
Knox of Pennsylvania does not mean
to be a silent member of the United
States senate at the coming session.
AS a rule newcomers are rather ex-
pected to keep in the background for
time, but Senator Knox is tacitly
booked to take leading part in dis
cussion of the railroad rate measure.
For many years Pennsylvania sena-
tors have almost confined themselves
to committee activity. The Gamer
ons, father and son. we're silent men,
and SO to a great extent was Mr..
Quay. Mr.. Penrose, too, rarely opens
his lips, so the spectacle of Penn
sylvania senator active in debate will
be somewhat of a novelty.

BLACK HAIR THE STRONGEST
VIII Sustain Almost Double the

Weight of Golden Tresses.
Black hair is stronger than golden
tresses and will sustain almost double
the weight. Recently a German sci
enlist has been experimenting and
has found that it is possible to sus-
pend a weight of four ounces by a
single hair, provided the hair be
black Blond hair will give way at
varying weights dependent upon the
exact tint yellow hair will scarce
support two ounces, brown will hold
up three without breaking. while a
very dark brown will sustain an add
tionai half ounce.
The greater vitality of the black
hair is declared to be the reason for
the preponderance of blond bald
heads, and according to this expert
menter, a person with jet black hair
will still enjoy a full growth, while
the blond will have been bald for sew
en- and half years.

About Insurance on These Cement
Hollow Block Building.

About Insurance on These Cement
Hollow Block Building.
This bureau has been informed that
some designing men have circulated
the report (no doubt to discourage this
warehouse movement among farmers)
that insurance rates would be higher
on these houses built of hollow cement
blocks than on standard brick houses,
when in reality the reverse is the truth
in this matter.
Looking at it from the standpoint Of
the farmers side of this warehouse
business, there seems to be too much
doing by the large cotton warehouse
men to discourage farmers in building
and owning their own warehouses.
Now, we are of the opinion that this
Farmers Union movement has reached
that stage in numbers and strength
that we can safely say to all these in
surance agents and other henchmen
of the opposition to the farmers ware
house business, that we are not going
to have any more bamboosling and
tomfoolery in this thing. Farmers
will soon have enough Of these ware
houses to run a mutual insurance Of
their own, like the mill men are now
doing.
The Farmers Union warehouse bus
iness we trust will soon be in shape to
take care of itself in every other way
as well as take care of the price of cot
ton.

Pricing Our Own Products

The Farmers Union ought to feel
very proud Of their record in the mat
ter of setting their own prices on their
great money crop, cotton, and MAIN
tanning these prices as against all
efforts of both bears and bulls and
even a good stiff pull of Union men
who persisted in the attempt to follow
the speculative breach of trust by the
Cotton Association who made an effort
to jump from II cents to Is cents at
the risk Of their reputation for fair
dealing.
1t will be remembered that at the
cotton growers meeting at Asheville
there was hard pull made by
consumers and bears to set prices
lower, while the Farmers Union
stood firm at their original set price of
IL cents and won out on this price.
And again at New Orleans when the
Cotton Association jumped the other
way and named Is cents the Farmers
Union stood firm upon her pledge and
said no! our foundation upon which
our organization rests, our character
and reputation for fair dealings and
our good judgment as to what is q
fair price for our cotton.
In the face Of cents cotton in 1904,
the Farmers Union pledged them
selves to stand up for 10 cents, and
they who kept the faith got their
price. The Farmers Union made the
price of II cents for our last crop and
have stood firm at the stake. It made
no difference which way the wild cat
jumped, the Farmers Union stood
firm upon the rock bottom prices of II
cents and got all above this figure that
she could. This record for good judg-
ment, firm convictions and good faith
should drive confidence into all Union
men as well as all others that hereaf-
ter when the Farmers Union make
price for their cotton that said prices
are in the first place fair and reason
able price, and that the Oldest and
original price-makers for our cotton
The Farmers Union-have in their
power to maintain these prices even
under greater pressure than before,
because the Union Is now better forti-
fed than ever before with more ware
houses of their own, more homemade
supplies and more than six hundred
thousand members in our ranks and
still growing at rapid rate.

While our present crops are growing
we should diligently keep account Of
the costs of our cotton crop and figure
out to our own minds what would be a
fair profit to each County Union upon
the average, then let each State make
the average. Then aggregate the
average among all the cotton States at
one round UP meeting and then drive
down the stakes at fair average and
stand by these prices.
The following sensible clippings
from leading article taken from Cot
ton and Cotton Oil News should be
good for the minds of all cotton farm
ers.
IF the New England States had the
raising of the American cotton crop
instead of the South, cotton would be
selling at twenty-five cents pound"
1T is the custom of our people to tell
you that 10 cents is enough for cotton.
Moreover the great majority of our
people are 80 ignorant Of the proper
value of cotton and cotton seed pro-
ducts. If the man who raises cotton
says that ten cents is enough most
certainly no one will dispute it and
pay more if they can help it, though
we think no planter will say that ex-
cept the unwise one who has sold bis
crop In advance at ten cents onI the
board is now the most rampant bear
and crop liar in the world.
''If men in the grain belt went
around saying six bits is enough for
" heat, there would be tar and feathers
wasted. Ifmen went around saying
butter is high enough at Is cents a
pound in the dairy districts, there
would be q baptism in stale milk.
Hence it is with unspeakable shame
that we confess the South systemati,
cally runs down it's own wares, and
embarrasses both cotton and cotton
oil products With depreciation, denun-
citation, underated values and glosser
carelessness in preparing cotton for
market. Let us all turn over q new
leaf. Let US all contend for the su-
premacy Of the cotton and force the

on the market now to have q better
