TO GO ON STRIKE

The farmers of the country are
ALWAYS considered the most con-
eervatiye of our citizenship. we
naturally look TO them to holo In
check many of the abuses that are
rampant in other businesses But
now they, too, have been drawn
into the push for ''prOtecllon
and such other combinations as
come of them think will make tsr
their betterment.
A report comes from Indiana
that two hundred thousand far
mers, composing "The American
Society Of Equity, will go on a
"strike" March 1st. The "strlke"
is announced to consist of with
holding from the marketing Of
any agricultural products exceps At
prices that are satisfactory to the
officials of this organization. Inc
growers of wheat complain that
they have for many years been the
victims of spectators and nave
not received an adequate return
for their labors. They claim that
they should receive at least one
dollar a bushel for wheat, and II
that price cannot be obtained they
say that no wheat will be sold.
Farmers and agriculturists In
the past have tried similar organ
izations, which have resulted dis
astrously from the fact that un-
wise leaders were allowed to dOml-
nate the policy Of the enterprises
At no time, however, have the
chances of success in such move
ments been more favorable than
the present. Quick cOmmunlca-
ton and rapid transportation are
conducive to the accomplishment
of the undertaking, and if the pro-
moters will steer clear Of sharperi
and trickstsrs, good may result
from tho organization. The OBJ
iect of controlling all the markets
for grains will not meet with sue
cess, but much benefit will no douo'
accrue the farmer.

eIffff COfTcsYS"ee"tt
FKB, 20 AS noticed in your last
wesFs Psphine correspondence,
Thursday, the 22nd, was set spart as
patrons Day" at Raphine school.
The teachers, Mrs. Bratton and Miss
Rlcheson. sent invitations to the pat
rons to come, With lunch prepared.
They responded literally with their
lunch baskets and at one o'clock
most bountlful repsst was spread in
one OF the school rooms, which was
highly enjoyed and appreciated by all
present. There was not that response
on the part Of the patrons In being per-
sonslly present that should have been.
After the lunch was over Rev. j. A,
Trostle pastor,of Timber Ridge church,
delivered most excellent address,
which was followed by short address
o. by Rev. A. II. Hamilton and Mr..
]. A. Parker, all OF which were good
and appreciated by all patrons an d
pupils present. These teachers have
made a good start In trying to create a
greater interest among the patrons
and others In their school work, and
we wish them the success their labors
entltle them to.
On Friday night the pupils OF the
school had an Ice cream and oyster
supper at the school rooms, which
WAS quite success; quite a number
attended and the universal testimony
80 far as heard was that all had q good
time. The objecl Of the supper was to
raise morey to help mako some needed
repairs to the school house and
grounds,
Miss Mary Rlcheson and Miss Wills
OF BuenA Vista, were visitors In our
community for several days last week
The young men were 10th to see their
leave and hope they will repeat their
visst at no distant day.
The lovely weather continues and
those who are not done blowing as Is
the case with some few, are speeding
the pillow to the utmost extent.

POLITICS ONLY DISCUSSED
Developments Over Sunday Considered
of Minor Weight.
LONDON WAS GENERALLY FIRM
in Pennsylvania and
Reading Furnished q Large Per-
centage Of the Total Trading.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 6.-Trading was
in somewhat reduced volume during the
greater part of the days business session
upon the stock exchange, but the markets
tone was generally firm, practically all OF
the more extensive movements being to-
ward higher figures The political situation
and outlook again constituted the sole topic
of discussion and were apparently the con-
trolling influences in the general course OF
the market. Aside, in fact, from the &C.
currences of one sort or another In political
affairs, there was little Of general I'M
portance in the developments over Sunday.
The London stock market was generally
firm. and the American department showed
some substantial advances due to the same
incpelling motives which were effective In
the local trading.
Operations here for foreign account were,
however, restricted to the purchase OF
about 600 shares Of stocks. The most
striking intelligence relating to the status
of any particular security was that with
regard to the controversy over the control
of the Illinois Central property. It might
be said that a rather disagreeable impress
sion was produced In consequence, al
though there were nothing more than nomi-
nal transactions in Illinois Central stock.
The most conspicuous features of the rail-
way list were Union Pacific and Reading.
the transactions in which furnished. indeed.
a very large proportion of the days total.
There was at the same time no news or
gossip of novelty in connection with the
special animation showing In these two Sc
curities.
Most Active Stocks.
Other firm features in this quarter were
Rock Island. Southern Pacific, Great
Northern preferred and Northern Pacific.
although the fluctuations in the two last
named were somewhat erratic. The local
traction shares were firm and active with
substantial advances showing in the Inter-
borough-M Metropolitan shares, the dealings
in this direction being presumably based
upon the prevailing views as to the issue of
tomorrow's elections. Transactions In the
industrial and miscellaneous issues pre-
sented the same general characteristics
which were noted elsewhere in the market.
The most active issues were the United
States Steel stocks. American Smelling and
Amalgamated Copper. Rather smart ad-
vances were scored by American Cotton Oil
and Virginia-Carolina Chemical on very
light dealings Rather f1rmer conditions
were reported In the money market
slight premium being exacted on loans for
four and six months periods. Money on call
ruled between and per cent. The mar
ket for sterling exchange was firm. The
London money market showed no substan-
tial change in conditions and the Bank Of
England secured the whole Of the 81 200
600 gold which arrived from South Africa
