house men have told the planters
that they had unusual and remarka-
BILE advantages, as have the storage
house men told the planters the
same thing, but it is untrue. Even
as to freight rates, the same rate of
freight will be given to every point
along the L. & N. road, provided the
road is allowed to route the tobacco
to its destination. 1t is we'll known
that the association has many enc
mics in the form of selfish men, who
are strictly after graft, and who are
watching and hoping our members
will make mistakes that will embar-
rass the association. In order to
avoid any possibility of this, it is abb
solutely necessary that the level
headed ones of the association, who
cannot be steered by an oily-tongued
wolf in Sleeps clothing, think seri.
ously, and watch for these breakers,
by keeping those members informed
of the necessity for carrying out the
rules of the association to the very
letter.
If this is done, the CRATER will be
relegated to the rear and the associ-
alton will swim on to that success
which it so richly deserves, and
which every member is determined
it shall have. Remember, always,
the Importance of planters listening
to their leaders, and not to men on
the outside, many Of whom are seek
ing to ruin the association, and re-
member still again, that planters
must stand positively together.
Yours truly,
F. G. EWING,
General Manager.

General Manager Ewing has is
sued the following letter:
Glenraven, Tenn, Jan. %, 1906.
To the Executive Committee, Dis
trict Chairmen, Statesmen and Su-
pervisors.
My Dear Sirs:
cannot too strongly impress up
on you the importance of urging our
members to comply with certain
clauses in our circular letter of the
10th inst. Prizers and storage house
men, who have not signed the con-
tracts of the association as they are
printed, should not be considered for
moment by a member of the asso-
citation as a suitable party to do
business with. 1t will be difficult
for the association to properly sys-
tematize its business, unless this is
rigidly carried out, yet certain men,
bers (Iam glad to say a few, al
though staunch adherents to our
cause, have already blindly shipped
tobacco to storage houses with which
we have no contracts. l urge that
you Immediately take this matter in
hand and inform every member in
Your reach ofthe necessity for re-
quiring exactly the same thing of
every pricing house, and exactly the
same thing of every storage house
with which we have business rela-
tions.
This is business consistency, as
well as simple justice to ourselves
and the well meaning ones of them.
| would also call your attention to
the clauses, 8, 9, 10, II, II, Is in the
same letter, which read as follows:
81 think it very important to call at
tention to the rivalry between the
various prlzing houses, and the RI
valry between the various storage
houses. 1t is the full intention of
the association that no one market or
locality shall have any advantage of
another, and that tobacco stored at a
small town, on a railroad track,
would sell just as well as tobacco
stored at a larger town, provided,
always, the type samples are sent to
our sales places, in accordance with
the associations instructions.
We are aware that many prizing

DONKEYS TURN UP TOES.
Don't Know Enough to Get in Out
of the Rain.

The war department has learned
through experience that the American
donkey has not sense enough to live
in the Philippines.
Some time ago, more in the nature
of an experiment than for any other
reason, the bureau of insular affairs
sent a dozen American donkeys, COM
monty known as 'burros," to Manila
for use among the Spanish-speaking
people. The natives did not take
kindly to the new species, however.

of.
Seven died. Such was the news re-
ceived at the bureau recently. When
the torrential rains set in the little
animals were caught out in the open,
and not knowing how to shelter them
selves like the native beast Of bur-
den, seven dociles dumb beasts turned
up their toes.

department official who has a deep
interest in everything pertaining to
the Philippines; they ought to die

clined to follow up through the fue.
For this reason, some builders refuse
to put chimney ON an outside wall,
but the fact remains that some outside
chimneys work first-rate. A miner in
the foothills will build a chimney for
his cabin out of stone and mud and 1t
will work fine, while a high-priced
mason will spend considerable money
in constructing fine house chimney
that won't accept consignment of air
at any price. 1t is difficult to account
for some things.
There is as much difference in
CRATES as there is in chimneys and
mantels. From the old.fashioned and
irons to the closed-in chimney stoves
there are many variations. There is
also great variety of sizes. Some
CRATES are too small for any practical
use. while others are so large that
they entail great waste of fuel. Some
Of the closed-in stoves, those that
have revolving CRATES, may be little
cleaner and easier to take care of, but
they lack the charm Of the free open
crate. The fire never looks the same

lacks interest. 1t Is sort of cross
between the fire place and stove, II
Is neither one thing or the other.
Building fire place in any house Is
a mistake unless it is intended fol
use. A sham ornament of this kind
is a mere mockery and it is a disap
pointment. Shams are never satisfac
tory. A fire place that is never uset
Is sham. 1t does not look we'll and
should never find a place in a dwelling
house.
The architect estimates that thi:
house may be built complete, witt
fire place, fiues and registers for from
| $500 to $4,000, and this estimate Il
probably correct for most localities
OF course, wages and cost of materia
are very much higher in some places
than others, and this must be takel
into consideration in studying house
plans and estimates.

interesting feature of crate and

any one thing in house prominent

a thing as harmony in house construc-

One reason why open fires are not
