FARMERS WOEFUL WASTE
Cotter Courier Points Out Where
Many Dollars are Lost Annually

One of the unexplained myster-
les we would like to have made
plain, Is, why will a farmer let
hundreds of dollars worth of APP
pies, peaches and other fruits lay
and rot on the ground while he is
monkeying with a few dollars
worth of cotton! Plenty of farm
ers are doing that very thing right
today. have done so for years past
and will probably do the same
thing in years to come. Apples
when too poor or the price too
low to market proftably, can be
made into cider, vinegar, apple
butter and many other things that
could be sold at nice profit. Take
the one item of vinegar alone.
Every household uses it, and ev-
cry user knows how all but impos-
sible it is to secure cider vinegar.
The local merchant retais it at 40
cents. 1t can be made on the
farm at less than ten cents. In
the place of good cider vinegar
the merchant is forced to sell a
very inferior article made of cheap
acids, while thousands of bushels
of nice apples are rotting in the
orchards of the country. When
the fruit grower learns to let cot
ton alone and utilize the fruit and
other products he is daily wasting,
he will have dollars where he now
has dimes. -Cotter Courier.

KILLED HER SON-IN-LAW

Gray STRIPPING, who lives with
his wife's parents near Chapel
Hill, Sewer county. was killed by
his mother-in law, Mrs. Alexander
Cox, few days ago. A dispute
arose between STRIPPING and his
brother-in-law over the use of a
pony belonging to Alexander Cox,
Stripling's father in law. Strip
ling proceeded to vent his anger
by shooting holes through the
walls of the room. It is said he
threatened his wife, his brother-in-
law and his mother-in- law. His
wife took the pistol from him, and
after threatening her she was
about to return the weapon when
Mrs. Cox seized the shotgun and
fired both loads into STRIPPING, in
flicting wounds from which he
died three hours later. An inquest
was held and the coroner's jury
returned a verdict of justifable
homicide.

Jesse Evans, a negro living over

himself in the head with an axe a
few days ago and split consider
able cash in his skull.
He was in the yard chopping
some wood and in making an over

causing it to rebound and strike
him on the head. The axe was a

with such force that his skull was
split and a part of his brain ex-

He didn't think he was hurt
much and walked down to neigh

The neighbor advised him to have

BRAIN LEAKS.

From Bryan's Commoner:)
Only the foolish measure life by
length of years.
The man who loves his work
seldom wants job.
The man who boasts of his par
tisanship exposes his narrowness.
The easiest man to deceive is
the man VINO thinks he knows it
all.
The father who is not hero to
his children should hasten to re-
form.
The average man does not have
to go far from home to find place
to begin reform work.
Good citizenship finds better ex-
preston at the ballot box than in
the street corner discussion.
The young man who tries to be
lone of the boys" may succeed at
it but he is pretty apt to be fail
ure at everything else.
The man who is always boast
ing of his willingness to fight for
his rights is usually the man who
wants more than is coming to
him.

Derivations.
From St. Nicholas.

from st. NlcnOtdS
There are some funny stories told about
the derivations OF words. since people are
likely to twist their language into strange
forms. Thus. the pope is even today called
by the name "pontifex," which boys In the
Latin class all know Is taken by him from
the title of the old Roman priests Now.
"pomtifex.' meaning maker of cere-
is true that the Roman priests in the
early days of the republic were in charge
of bridges: but scholars tell us that
the word "pontifex" probably should be
"opmptifex." meaning maker of we're
MONIES" Many of you have wondered what
the priest had to do with bridge-building.
and this little change of mt to mp,
makes the whole matter clear.
An astonishing derivation Ia that Of the
word stranger" which, we are told, comes
from the Greek word Tex or out OF. Alb
surb as this seems. 1t Is easy to UNDER
stand. Eek" means out from or away,
the same word as the Latin EEK hence
comes extra. Then comes the Latin lex
traneus" which means outside. The old
French word. from this, estrange, means
an outsider. but estrange gave us the word
stranger by dropping the s. and stranger
byJ dropping the e.
After this serious example. we shall not
be surprised at the @old Joke that derived
the town name "Middletown" from Moses
by dropping the 'iddletown" and adding
"oses.'

A Woman Harvester.
From the Chicago News.


Work Of women largely has served to

There is a great scarcity of farm help
not only near Chicago, but>m the west and
northwest. In most of the railway stations
letns giving the number of hands required
to handle the wheat harvest in the north
west. All the way from 100 to 800 hands
are needed at single stations. All Of this
has helped to dep!ete the ranks OF farm
workers near home and as result women
have hocked into the fields. and in many in
stances have done as much work as a man..
One Illinois woman. farmer who does all
her own work Is Miss Elizabeth Condeli
She has sixty-five acre farm within an

waukee electric railroad. Miss Conden lives
alone and works alone. She takes care of

FLOWER OF THE RESURRECTION.
Reported to Have Been Discovered by
Russian Botanist in Arabia.

From the London Globe.
That mysterious blossom of which only
one specimen has ever been found. and that

in nature named ''the flower Of the .Resur-
rection." 1t will be remembered by those of

to Europe by DR.. Deck. who had gone to
Nubia on shooting expedition. He be-
Queathed 1t to his friend Lannion, who be-
slowed on Humboldt one of the two flowers
on the plant which DR.. Deck brought back.
This flower possessed the remarkable
power of coming to life again. though APP
parently dead. when mosstened with a little
water. blossoming afresh as IL just at its
apogee OF beauty. This was not variation
of the Indian mango tree trick. for not only
did DR.. Deck frequently make the flower
obey his awakening touch. but humboldt
constantly performed the experiment before
the German Academy. 1t Is this mower,
eagerly sought for but lost to knowledge
since the days of the Egyptians. which
Russian botanist. Serge. Lostoukof. claims
to have discovered growing In an isolated
corner of Arabia. The news Is greatly in
teresting the botanic world. and further in
formation Is anxiously looked for.
The manner Of its originally reaching the
hands of DR.. Deck ia not without a certain
interest and Is more than tinged with ro-
nance. The sportsman found himself,
through an accident unable to continue the
hunting expedition, and wandered into upper
Egypt with the intention Of looking for that
Aladdins palace. the emerald mines of the
ancients. He. fell in with an old Arab,
whom he carefully nursed and cured of
terrible illness. The Arab was poor and UNI
able to pay in coin; he offered his savior,
however. gift which he said no emperor or
king could bestow. a magic mower that
would bloom at command.
