NEWT GRESHAM DEAD.

The announcement of the death OF
Newt Gresham at his residence IN
Point, Texas, Wednesday evening"
April IL will be READ with regret by
the membership of the Farmers Union
the organization of which he was a
prime factor in originating and push
ing into prominence in the Industrial
world. Bro Gresham was in the prime
Of life, having just passed the forty
fifth year of his age. For more than
wear he has been afflicted with com
nlicatiOn OF Ills, but his friends were
| hOpeful that he would soon be himself
again and be able to take up the work
In which he so vigorously labored IN
| the past.
The immediate cause of his demise
was appendicitis and the attack was or
short duration. He was buried in the
family burying grounds at Point by the
Woodmen of the World and local Far
mers' Union, of which orders he was
q prominent and active member. he
was a man of considerable energy anC
determination, and during the infanc!
of the order spent year in the organ
izing work. In February, 1904, %heI
the State Union was formed at Min
cola. he was elected Secretary-Treas
urer, a position he occupied up to tn
time of his resignation at the Wac
meeting. He was raised in kaufmal
County, Texas, and In the AIlianc
days did organizing work in Texas an
Alabama. For several years he pull

SLEEP REQUIRED BY CHILDREN
Ten Hours Necessary for the Growing
Youngsters.

Oliver Wendell Holmes said that a
child upon awakening in the morning
from a healthful sleep il a bad humS
needed a spanking. He thought 1t
very beneficial, promoting a good cir
culatiOn of the blood; but he added
that a child who was unreasonable
and willful after a busy day was SIM
ply tired and should be put to bed.
Nature is the genuine healer and
sleep the true restorer Of all our pow
ers. Parents who realize this can
save themselves many anxious mo-
ments, many heartaches, many doctor
hills and establish habits Of regular
living that will bring forth good re-
suits through a long line OF offspring
and generations to come. Every child
requires at least ten hours of sleep,
and it is a good practice for him to
continue sleeping the full ten hours
all through the school life. Work
would thus be rendered easier, health
would be better and youthfulness pro
longed many nervous tendencies anc
diseases would be wiped out ant
clearer, brighter mentality would b'
aintained.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Let us tell you exactly what you Will
see when you inspect the manufacture OF

and barley possible to buy. Ihese
grains are carried through long convey
ers to grinding mills, and there convert
ed into -four. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities of this
-four in the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into a general foul
which passes over to the big dough mix
ing machines, there water, salt and III
tie yeast are added and the dough knead
ed the proper length of time.
Remember that previous to the barle!
having been ground 1t was passe'
through about one hundred hours o
soaking in water, then placed on warn
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase in the barley, which change

down in Texas a weed called
Loco" Is sometimes eaten by a
steer and produces a arrangement
OF the brain that makes the steer
"batty" or crazy. Many OF these
editors are "Locoed" from hate OF
anyone who will not instantlyobey
the demands" of labor union,
and it is the universal habit of such
writer's to go straightinto a system
of personal vilification, manufac-
turing any sort Of falsehood
through which toventtheir spleen.
We assert that the common citizen
has right to live and breathe air
without asking permission of the
labor trust and this has brought
down on us the hate Of these edi-
tors. When they go far enough
with their libels, is it harsh for us
to get judgment against them and
have our lawyers watch for q
chance to attach money due them
from others? (For they are usual
ly irresponsible.)
