A HOMEMADE HAMMOCK.
How to Make q Good Strong One ~
Very Little Expense.

How to Make q Good Strong One ~
Very Little Expense.
If you can afford to pay not less
than S. for q hammock don't try to
make one, for it requires much pS-
tience and several days of honest
labor. If, however, you don't see your
way to such extravaganza as paying
this amount for garden hammock,
don't buy one, for unless you are eX'
ceptiOnally lucky your money will sim.
ply be thrown away. For those who
care to take the trouble there is q
simple manner Of procuring a home
made hammock which, when properly
done, will be far superior to any fac
tory product, no matter how much 1t
glitters, how long the fringe may be or
what it costs, says a writer in the
Washington Post.
A homemade hammock can be made
forty five inches across, which will
give a sense Of security and restful-
ness that cannot be obtained in the
commercial article. The cost for ma
terials is very small; it is the time and
labor which go to make up the home
made hammock. You must buy
long needle, say seven inches, with a
big eye; two iron rings for each end
Of the hammock, two long, smooth
sticks on which to knit your hammock
and two pounds Of strong cord or
Irvine. The whole should cost about
60 cents. Then, with due labor, you
can produce hammock that will
prove a dream Of oriental luxury, in
which one can sleep under the trees
without dread of falling.
First take your threaded needle, tax
ing it in the left hand and using the
thumb to hold the cord in place while
looping it over the tongue. Pass the
cord under the needle to the opposite
side and catch it over the tongue. re-
peating until the needle is full. Next
make loop Of a piece of cord two
yards long and fasten this to the door
knob; then tie the cord on your needle
three inches from the end of your loop.
Place the small fid, or mesh stick, I'M
der the cord, the beveled edge close
to the loop.
With your thumb on the cord to hold
it in place while you pass the needle
around the mesh stick, and with its
point toward you, pass it through the
loop from the top, bringing it over the
stick, and this will form the first half
of the knot Pull this tight, holding
it in place with your thumb while
throwing the cora over your hand.
which forms the loop; then pass the
needle from under through the loops,
drawing it fast to fasten the knot.
Hold this in place and repeat the OPP
GRAFTON. When thirty Of, these knots
are made push them off the stick.
The next row is done in the same
manner, being added to the first row
by passing the needle first through each
of the thirty knots already made for
the first row. Knit thirty rows OF this
and then tie the last loops to the other
iron ring. With cords through the two
iron rings you will have a hammock
that for strength and comfort cannot
be surpassed, and all for 60 cents.

Pomeroy Business Man Tells Of
The Frisco Horror.
RIVED AT WALLA WAlLA
FROM STRICKEN CITY.

W. J. Schneckloth, a prominent bust
ness man of PomerOy, arrived in Walla
Walla this morning from San Francis
CO, having been in that city when the
earthquake took place. In relating his
experiences to a Statesman reporter,
Mr.. Schneckloth said this morning:
81 thought my time had come, when
1 was suddenly awakened in my room
at the Ascot hotel at 40S Ellis street,
when the earthquake began. I was
aroused by the noise Of buildings tum-
bling down and 1 jumped from the bed.
The room was swaying up and down
so heavily that 1 could not stand up
and 1 sat down on the bed. The pict-
ures on the wall fell to the floor and
the chairs and other furniture Of the
room were overturned AS soon as the
vibrations had ceased, 1 hastily dressed
The entire back and front walls had
fallen in the street and a portion of
the roof had caved in. Strange as it
may seem there were about 200 guests
in the hotel at the time of the earth
quake and not a soul was killed or In
jured. AS soon as I got out of the
building I went to the ferry building
and went over to Oakland on one OF
the first boats. The boat was crowded
with frightened refugees, mostly wom-
en- and children. Many Of them were
only attired in their night robes while
others were about half dressed.
Aided In Work.
when 1 reached Oakland I went at
once to the new track where l had
several race horses. After finding
that my horses were all right, 1 re-
tuned to Oakland and for several days
assisted the relief committee in find
ing quarters for the refugees from San
Francisco An information bureau
was established at the ferry landing
and 1 remained there several nights
registering people from San Francis
co and directing them to places where
they could find shelter.
This was my first earthquake ex-
perience and / don't care to go through
another one. The scene of destruction
followed are indescribable. 1t would be
impossible for me to picture the scene
it have not been exaggerated in the
least"

Experiment With Aldrich SJ stem on
Farm: OF j. G. StrihIIny.

Out of eight comparative tests the
'Aldrich system of planting two rows
OF corn and two rows of cotton alter
mating IN this plan with solid crops of
each cotton and corn, we made less
crops of each.-.by actual measurement
and weight under the Aldrich sys-
tenn than where solid crops of each cot
ton and corn were planted, excepting
in n test where we used 400 pounds
crushed cotton seed per acre! The
gain in this instance was IL l-S BUSH
els OF corn and 1850 pounds of stalks
per acre in favor of the Aldrich sys
tenn.
In Consideration of the fact that a
large number of practical farmers have
endorsed the Aldrich system, al
though they have done 80 without
putting the test to actual weights and
measurements, We are of the opinion
hat there must be some advantage in
the system where early field varieties
of corn is used along with late malur-
Ing varieties of cotton. Thus by
planting the corn as early as possible
we may remove the corn eff the land
in time to give the cotton more sun
light and the use of all the land which
may be very beneficial to a late ma
turing variety of cotton that has been
left rather thin on the land. In the
foregoing test cotton and corn were
planted the same day.

---If you think that you are a little
too good, too smart, too rich or too
insignificant to join in with your
neighbors in the Farmers Union, do
60 and join the Cotton Association or
some other Organization that is doing
good your Southern country.
Many of us Farmers Union men be.
long to the Cotton Association, and we
enjoy sitting in council with these
bright business men of the South. We
learn something every time we meet
with them; and it does the farmer
good to hear these big, rich men the
farmer that every interest of the whole
South is dependent upon the prosper
ity of the farmer.
After rubbing up against these
shrewd business men in a Cotton AS
ISOLATION we feel mighty proud and
rich for a long time afterwards; but
when we are in deep trouble about
the every day affairs of the farming
interest, and are seeking out a frater-
nal friend that is in it with you in ev-
erything, and that should be loyal to
his own. we just naturally want to set
right along by the side Of the old far
mer and whisper the pass word into
his ear.
The Cotton Association is no more a
farmers organization than it Is a BUSH
ness mans organization. You cannot
build a stone mansion out of wood.
A farmers organization must be made
of farmers.

D q sir: 81 me think we take q
good deal of risk in inviting COM
pplsints of Devoe lead-apd-zinc-we au-
thorize our agent to sell it under this
guarantee. -,
IF you have any fault to find with
this paint, either nov in putting it on,
or hereafter in the wear, tell your deal
err about it.
1--WE authorize him to do what is
right at our expense"
The following story tells how little
the risk Is;
!. II Asher & Co, hardware dealers,
R%hinebeck, N Y, have sold Devoe
from '76 to now; have sold thousands
of gallons and have had just one COM
pIaint in all this time.
Three sides of a house were perfect;
the fourth was as bad as the three
were good. -,
Explanation-It rained the night
before the fourth side was painted;
and the painters did not wait for the
wood 10 dry.
What is done in such a case? What
ever the dealer, who cold the paint,
considers it fair to do. We leave it to
him . He may not do exactly what we
should do if we were there: but we
are not there; The best we can do IS
to leave it to him.

How Do You Like 1t

AIVN Do "
Well, how do you like the idea of
our Farmers Union column?
If our farmers column is not as good
as you think it should be, suppose you
chip in and make it better.
A good, practical farmer is sure to
know something which, if told will
benefit his neighbor.
Usually the man that knows things
has no trouble in telling what he
knows, and then lie stops talking.
Men that really know little, or moth
ing, talk long trying to tell something
they don't know.
Farmers Institutes are good schools
for both old and young farmers, but
they don't come your way but once a
year, while our Farmers Union col
umns visit you each weeK--that Is, ii
you subscribe for your home paper.
If all your neighbors---fOr the want
Of better knowledge of business sell
their cotton crop for what it costs to
make 1t, or less, then you are compelled
TO take the same price for yours. You
see that, in order to get profitable
prices at the beginning, you must go
out and bring in your neighbors with
you.
Where is the profit or sense of max
ing three bales of cotton grow where
two grew before if that little 244 cot
ton speculator comes in for that extra
third bale?
Better come across. boys, and join
the Farmers Union and learn to grow
the right size crop and then sell 1t
right.
The Farmers Union is standing this
hot battle against cotton spectators
and winning some advantages in
every skirmish.
If you think you have a better plan
to organize farmers and keep them Or
ganized than the Union, why let's
have it, and we will join right into it
with you, for We can never maintain
profitable prices to the producer with
out organization and loyal co opera
ton.
