This book is the first Of q Series
that will Chronicle the Progress OF the
HOMECROFT MOVEMENT
and inform all who wish to cooperate
with it how they may do so through
the formation of local Homecrofters'
Circles. Clubs or Gilds to promote
Town and Village Betterment, stimu-
late home civic pride and loyalty to
home institutions, industries and trade,
improve methods and facilities of edu-
cation in the local public schools, and
create new opportunities "At Home
that will go far to check the drift OF
trade and population to the cities.
The first Gid Of the Homecrofters
has been established at Watertown,
Massachusetts. The Gildhall, Shops
and Gardens are located at 143 Main
Street, where the Garden School is
now fully organized and over one
hundred children are ut work in the
Gardens. The departments for train
ing in Homecraft and Village Indus
tries are being installed. The Weavers
are already at work at the looms.
1t is not designed to build here an
isolated institution, but to make a
model which can be duplicated in any
town or village in the country.
There is New Hope and Inspiration
for every Worker who wants a Home
of his own on the Land in the
CREED AND PLATFORM OF THE
HOMECROFTERS' which is as fol
lows:
"Peace has her victories no less re-
nowned than war"

Twenty shares of Merganthaler changed

WOULD GROW COTTON HERE.
Lancaster Spinners suggest Estab-
fishing of Plantations in SOuth.

London. Oct. ia private commission
sent by the Lancashire cotton spinners to
examine the methods of the production of
cotton in the Southern United States has
issued "a report which condemns the anti
quated and unscienti6c processes followed,
for which it blames the gin trust, the
Farmers Union, and the Southern Cotton
Association.
It recommends that the sDinners them
selves acquire suitable land in the cotton
belt and raise their own supplies. The
committee believes that now Is an excep-
tionally favorable opportunity for such an
undertaking.
Il points out how a greater yield can be
obtained and tie economies that can be
effected. and quotes one authority as stat
ing that the crop on the present acreage
yield could be doubled in eight years
merely by seed selection.
The report remarks that the wave of
unexampled prosperity that is sweeping
over the Southern States, the immense
wealth accumulated by the planters, and
the constant efforts Of various associa-
tions to control the production and prices
have set England a problem the solution
Of which demands the greatest care.

Brokers who narrowly watched the
buying Of Pennsylvania for circumstan-
tial confirmation of the report Of an in
crease in the dividend rate failed to get
it, and came 10 the conclusion that talk
was better than the buying. They ad-
mitted, however, that they were at
loss TO account for the unmistakable
strength in the stock. Those whose buy
ing has always attracted attention in
Pennsylvania did not seem TO be repre-
sented at all, yet il was hard TO figure
out how the movement could have been
carried on, as II was without their as
sistance. The more the situation was
studied the more obscure il became. and
it was certain that there must be a great
underlying force the nature Of which
was not disclosed 1t was argued that
substantial interests, although appar-
emily passive. were really active In ac-
cumulating stock, probably in the ex-
pectat ton of favorable dividend action
but possibly in anticipation OF some
large financial plans which it is believeC

San Francisco, Nov 1.-THE Chron.
icle says:
A new investigation is progressing
in the course of developments in the
local graft scandal. 1t now appears
that many sums of money, large and
small, that were sent from different
states to San Francisco for the re.
lief of the sufferers from the calamity
never reached the relief committee
Some of these amounts, which aggre-
gated a large sum, were mailed tc
the care of Mayor Schmitz. F. J.
Heney, Detective William Burns and
abolt 100 government agents have
been making investigation.
President Roosevelt is the moving
spirit behind the inquiry and he de.
clares that no man guilty Of divertine
the. relief funds shall escape justice
The cases come within the jurisdic-

of the interstate character of the

american Express Company Increases
Wages Of Employees.
New York. Nov. 15.-The wages Of
employees Of the American Express
company who are paid less than 5000
I month have been increased 10 per
cent. The announcement Of the in
crease was made at the Office Of the
company. An official of the company
said that the increased wages should
be paid to all employees who had been
IN the service of the company for
more than year whose wages had
lot been increased within twelve
months and who were not already

The increase, the officer said, af-
fects~ 5000 to $4,000 men throughout
the country-the bulk of the rank and
file of the employees outside of what
are called the officials. 1t will cost
the company about 100000 to $780,
600 to pay the increased wages.
