Kansas Solves Problem.
BUSINESS ON AN ECONOMICAL BASIS
One OF the First Successful Or
ganiEations Of Farmers Now
Doing Business in the
United states.

The fret attempt at effecting a business
organiza ton OF farmers in Kansas was on
August z. 1900. a meeting was, held al the
National hotel. Topeka, Kan, and con
| siderable enthusiasm was manifested.
The prevalent idea at that time was &c
effect the national organization and gel
various states of the union interested In
pushing forward such an organization
After working along those lines for several
months it was found that the plan was i'm
practical, that people would not invest in
or support such an organization.
The grain dealers of the west had com
| bined or formed pools at the various
stations. There was no competition among
them, for they agreed upon a division OF
| the grain that came to the station on the
| per cent plan, each dealer getting his pro
| portionate profit on the amount of Rrair
| handled at the station. This led up t.
exorbitant margins which were exactet
from farmers by the regular dealers. The
grain dealers being thoroughly organized
| they Joined i'm request to the various
railroads operating in the west asking then
| TO refuse to furnish cars to scoop-shove
dealers, which of course included farmers
This concession was conceded by the rail
roads.
Then the grain dealers, not being salts
| fed with what they had accomplished. they
! demanded of commission men and all re
| ceivers of grain in the central market a.
well as exporters, that they refuse L
| handle grain from parties who were no
regular dealers. They even went TO so fai
as to include those who operated elevator
independently, and who would not comply
with the demands of the trust. This PLACED
the trust dealers in a position to exac
margins from the farmers. limited onl!

THE FOURTH OF JULY AT HOPE
Big Crowd Sp|endidy Entertained By the Various
Amusements and Big Parade.

The Fourth of July celebration
in this city yesterday was de-
cided success. It is estimated
that there we're between 1000
and 5000 people in town. The
day was perfect and every one
seemed to have a. good time.
The day was appropriately
ushered in by the national salute
at dawn, and almost before the
echoes Of the booming guns had
subsidized loads of people began
to arrive, dressed in gala attire
and prepared to celebrate in the
good old way. The regular train
from the west arrived on sched-
ule time loaded to standing room
with visitors
At 9 O'Clock the city band
opened the days program with
a concert, after which it led the
crowd to the fair grounds where
the game of baseball took place
Immediately between the farmers
and citizens This was perhaps
one Of the most pleasing features
of the days enjoyment. If the

town team had formed the opin-
ion that they had a snap on their
hands they soon changed their
minds, for the horny handed sons
of toll gingered up from the start
and had the game coming their
way all the time. The work OF
Doc Fead behind the bat, Hank
Farris and Law in the pitchers

The following is the lineup of the
teams: Farmers Sullivan,

Citizens Fead, Warner, Shaw,
G. Danskin, Carpenter, Major,

The game resulted in a victory
for the farmers by a score of {
to 6.
Immediately after the game
the industrial and Calithumpian
parade took place. The floats
were magnificent and almost ev

was represented. Beckerjeck &

Charlie Hazlett took first in the
Calithumpian and Louie Jenson
second.
After the parade a short inter
val was taken for dinner. At
1:15 the city band gave another
concert, after which the patriotic
exercises were held in the town
hall. After singing America"
the Declaration of Independence
was read by Rev. Hitchcock. The
oration was then delivered by the
Hon. E. H. Wright Of Fargo
The races began directly after
the exercises at the hall were
concluded and lasted several
hours The free -for-all trot or
pace, with only two entries, was
won by Moores' Joe Hardin

Majors Billy the Kid" In the
farmers race, three entries, Wax

rance second, Lou Finn third.
Running race, Moores first, Pal

The next on the program was
the ball game between the reg
ular home team and the Fargo
Cathedrals. The game was hot
ly contested and good playing on
both sides made the contest in
teresting thruout. Result, 4 to
6 in favor of Hope. The visiting
team is composed of a fine lot of
fellows and Hope was very fortu
nate in getting them for this
game
Directly after supper the band
gave another short program, aft
er which it led the'crowd to the
race track, where the field sports
occupied the time until dark.
In the 100 yard dash Sabin won
first, Young second, Morris third.
The so yard dash was won by
Miller, Warner second, Tucker
third.
Boys race Laurence first,
Badger second, Roney third.
Relay race--In this race there
were three teams entered. One
represented the farmers, one the
citizens of Hope, and the other
was composed of Fargo boys. In
this race the farmers came in
winners, Hope second and Fargo
third. Time, 1855.
s High jump-HarWOod first, .
feet; Carlin second; Tosker and
Carley tied for third.
The program of amusements
was concluded by a grand display
of fireworks which was witnessed
by an immense throng.
Barring several minor acci-
dents, nothing occurred during
the day to mar the enjoyment of
the visitors, and it is the opinion
of all that a more enjoyable cele-
bration was never held in Hope.

The Art Of Handling Men.

Business men often fail because
they do not know how to handle
men. They can do their own
work all right, but they are fail
ures when it comes to directing
others. They lack tact, diploma
|cy. Many men antagonize 9th
ers; they lack patience, lose tenn
per, fly to pieces over little things.
And no man is a good leader who
can not control himself. A great
many business men seem to think
ghat 1t takes 4 deal Of driving,
scoIding, fault finding, to get the
best of others. 1t is, however,
just the opposite. Employees

sponse to forcing methods. ]
know young man who promises
to be leader IN his line who is
as quiet and gentlemanly in his
methods as modest woman. He
never raises his voice, never gets
angry. When an employee needs
correcting, instead of scolding or
nagging, he sits right down and
shows him or her just how to do
the thing. He tries to help them
out of their difficulty, not to con-
fuse them. He does not need to
|scoid, because everybody respects
him, and knows that he is always
trying to do the fair thing, to
give a square deal, that he wants
only what is just right, and there
is nothing arbitrary in his meth
DDS. The result IS, he does not
need to storm around his estab-
lishment and use abusive, profane
language. He knows there is a
stronger force, better way than
that. The result is that he has
perfect discipline. Not one
would think Of taking advantage
of him or try to deceive him, be-
cause he is so kind, square, true.

MARKET THE CROP SLOWLY.
Iiarvie Jordan Urges Planters to Hold
for Ten Gents.

/ Atlanta, Ca, Sept. l6. Haryie
! Jordan, president of the Southern
Cotton Association, has ISSUED d
Iletetr urging the cotton planters
Iof the South to hold their cotton
for minimum of 10 cents, and
Ipresenting statistical argument
to support the appeal. His letter
/ is as follows:
The recent meeting of the ex-
ecutiye committee of the Southern
Cotton Association held at Hot
Springs, Ark, fixing the mini
mum price on cotton, basis mid
ding, at interior points at 10
cents is as low a price as any far
mer could be asked or advised to
Ehold his cotton. Ten cents per
pound is practically the bread and
meat line and cotton sold below
that figure, however slight, bare
" represents the cost Of produc-
ltion.
There is no necessity and no
kind of sensible reasoning why
the South should sacrifice the
present maturing crop of cotton
at any price under 10 cents per
pound. There isno good reason
why this crop should sell for less
than that Of the last crop which
averaged a little over III cents per
pound at the ports. Since Sept
/, 1904, to Sept. /, 1906, there
have come into sight 25, SOC, 900
bales of cotton, and of this enor-
nous amount, all had been practi-
cally consumed except about
100000 bales.
Tine past two years, showing
the largest production both years
in the history of our cotton pro-
|duction, sold at an average price
of 10 cents per pound, or the
grand total of $1,250, 900, 600.
With the consumption Of these
two unprecedented crops selling
at an average of 10 cents, we still
find the demand for finished goods
enormous and the full capacity of
the mills unable to supply the
trade at very high prices for man
ufacture.
Since August /, heavy and
continuous deterioration has taken
place in the fruitage of the crop
over the entire belt. The splen-
did expectations Of an unusually
large yield, SO bright a month
ago, have now dwindled to antici-
pations of only a normal yield.
To meet the conditions which con-
front the cotton growers at the
present time, there is but one
thing to do, and that is to sell the
crop slowly and refuse to market
the staple rapidly during the next
three months. Every farmer who
can do so should store and hold
his crop off the market until the
priceof 10 cents at least is offered.
The present price of cotton is far
below the true value of the staple
and the people are hereby appeal
ed to not to submit to such an un-
warranted sacrifice of the product
of their labor. Prices are sure to
adjust themselves to higher levels
when the trade at large begins to
fully realize the extent of the
present and recent heavy dete-
rioration in the crop all over the
cotton belt.

THE BILOXI SOCIALISTS.
Some Facts Of Che SociaIistic Idea Can
didate for Congress IN Sixth
District.

The socialists Of the city, head
ed BY S. w. Rose, held a meeting
Eln the city hall last night to in

palgn. Mr.. Rose was the princi-
pal speaker, Mr.. Brash, the con-
gressIonal candidate not appear
ing. Mr.. Rose dweIt upon the
injustice of the courts of the land
in their determinations in favor
of the wealthy and powerful and
cited recent instances of where
HfaVoritism had been shown. If a
man should so much ais steal loaf
lof bread in the humber walks of
life, he would be declared thief
and go to jail, but the officers of a
pig trust company in Philadelphia
bad stolen millions and If they
went to jail at all they would be-
out in few months pardoned.
Persons, be said, had said to
him, " Aren't you afraid to come
out and express your opinion so?
Aren't you afraid it will hurt
your business2" To this he had
replied that when be could not
express his opinion without hurt
Ing his business he would 90 into
some other line. One thing he
would say for the South. He had
never been boycotted while living
here for expressing his views as
socialist, which be could not say
for the North. Mr.. Rose also
spoke at some length on the re-
cent exposures of conditions in
Packingtown and Of the horrors
as outlined in Upton Sinclair's
book, The Jungle book
which the publishers would not
publish until they had investigat-
ed to see if it was true, when they
found conditions worse than de-
sorlbed in the book. Even Presi-
dent Roosevelt would not believe
until he had sent a commission to
Investigate and they reported that
che book did not tell all. Sinclair
is a socialist, but people had lost
sight of the socialist idea in their
horror over the revelations as to
the packing of diseased and rotten
