RUBA1YAT OF SUMMER KHAY-

Wake! For the summer scatters into
flight
Your wife before you to some Coun-
try site;
She'll take the children with her and
she'll leave
The Parlor Furniture done up i'm
white .--...
The Cook indeed is gone. The Wait
ress goes
Tomorrow. Their returning no one
But still there are cafes where one
may dine,
And some Roof Gardens have attrac-
tive Shows.
All, make the most OF what we yet
may spend,
Before we, too, down to the Shore must
wend;
Cramped in small rooms, fed on dis
tressing food
Sans wine, sans song, sans dinner and
sans Friend.
Yesterdays Roast this Breakfast did
prepare,
Tomorrow's Soup or Ragout still is
there;
Eat for you know not whence it
came or why,
Eat, for you know not when you go
or where.

BUTLER HAS A SCHEME.
Wants to Hold Cooperative Con-
gress in the West.


James Butler. the Kansas co-opera-
tive man, and formerly secretary of
the Kansas cooperative shippers as
ISOLATION, is trying to start a co-opera-
tive congress to be held at some place
in Kansas or Missouri on october p.
The congress will probably be held
in Topeka, Wichita, Kansas City or
St. Joseph Mr.. Butler says:
There are hun dreds of co-opera>
tive telephone companies, Insurance
companies and elevators owned by
farmers, and we expect to unite on a
plan which Will permit all of these
companies to work in harmony There
are in Kansas alone any number of
telephone companies owned and oper-
ated in the rural districts The far
mers don't work together enough to
have these connected with telephones
to terminal markets, and we can
unite such interests with the other
interests Of the farmers in a way that
we make them all pay. If we can get
the reports Of these companies in the
north and the reports of the cotton
gins and warehouses in the south and
the exchange and clearing house re-
ports from all parts of the country to-
gether we can select committees com
posed of the representatives of each
interest and have them agree upon
plan for the cooperation of all in
terests.
IL We COulQ 40 no more Inan get
the farmers of Minnesota, South Da-
kota and Kansas to hold their wheat
for a, good price we would save them.
millions These states raise as much
wheat as the country exports each
year and the farmers could get a bet
ter price for their grain than they do
The farmers are now doing the best
they can a organization in a hap
hazard, slipshod way. without meth
Cd, system, experience or well defined
uniform plans A cooperative con-
gress consisting of hundreds of ex-
perienced representatives in session
for a week or longer with experienced
committees in the definite lines would
no doubt formulate from the many
plans submitted a splendid plan for
future work in each line. There is
no way to estimate the value of such
action to the cooperative movement
TT therefore seemed to me that
we could expedite matters by holding
farmers cooperative congress in
which all these interests could be rep
resented. and it appears to me to be
the proper thing to do. The cooper
alive elevators in the grain states are
following the same system generally
speaking, but no uniform terminal
market plan has as vet been adopted
by any considerable number of them.
The weakest feature of all farmers
past attempts at organization was
their lack of business system business
rules. uniform plans and disciplined
methods. Such a congress would in
my judgment. attract the attention of
farmers all over the United States

Nashburn Isn't Trying to Have Cap
tain Donald Disqualified.
Il don't think that there is anything
in It," said DR.. John Outland, head of
Washburn's athletics, when told of a
report that Washburn was endeavoring
to place a charge of professionalism
against Prentice Donald captain of the
K U. football team. I hadn't heard
anything of it." continued Outland Il
don't think that Donald would take any
money for playing in a game and en-
danger his chances of playing on the
team. I can't imagine either who the
member of the WaShburn team is who
could have made such q statement
The lola Register prints a rumor to
the effect that both Washburn and Mis-
souri, universities are after Donald's
scalp. Here it is:
1T is the report on the streets of La
Harpe that both Washburn and Mis-
souri, university are at present or have
been at work trying to gather informa-
ton to prove that Prentice Donald cap
tain and star tackle on the K. U. team
accepted money for playing with La
Harpe in the Chanute-LaHarpe Christ
mas game.
Add Bremen while at CoffeyvilIe met
one of the members Of the Washburn
college football team who told him that
Washburn and Missouri were both at
work gathering information which they
tnOuEnt would keep Donald from play
ing football this year with the universe
ty team and that they at least Intended
to try and keep Donald out of the game.
THE manager of the La Harpe team
is willing to swear that Donald did not
receive one cent of money for his ser
vices in the football team and that the
money he received from the game has not
been divided but is still in the LaHarpe
football fund Some of the players who
took part in the game wanted the money
divided among the players but this was
never done nor will it be done at any
future time. The people of LaHarpe
have no fear but that Donald viii play
with K. U. Notwithstanding the efforts
Of Washburn and Missouri to keep him
out of the game
