Ia a recsut speech, delivered at Charl' ottetown, North Carolina, he handed some left-hsnded compliments to the Wcentleman from Nebraska," and then begged the South to come to the assist snce of the party and furnish leader. We'll, suppose the South should acqui- s,ce in the advice, whom would it of ferP Unless Gov.

One of the arguments used by those who are constantly urging higher sal aries for high officials is that they want to make the offices so remunerative that there will be no inducement for the officials to be dishonest.

Gaines, editor of the Advocate.
Topeka, Kan, addressed the con.
vention for about an hour on mat
tiers affecting the interests of the
order in general.
During the afternoon the draft
of practically new constitution
was taken up in detail, and the
same subject was debated at great
err length at the night session. 1t
is believed a vote on this new con-
stitution will be taken at this
mornings session. All the pro-
visions of the document are being
carefully guarded from the press
and public.
Several leading members of the
organization were asked what they
thought of the action of the South
ern Cotton Association at Hot
Springs today in placing the min
imum price of cotton ut ten cents,
and the verdict was unanimous
that the Farmers Union stand pat
for IL cents. The deterioration of
the general condition of cotton
during the last two weeks is suffi-
cient evidence to prove that the
Union has not placed the price
III cents too high.
THE MEETING ADJoURNs
Texarkana, Sept. 9 The meet
ing Of the National Farmers I'm

tically new constitution was adopt

THE NATIONAL FARMERS UNION
Fixes minimum Price on Cotton
at III Cents a Pound and
Seed at SIS Ton

alive Union was devoted almost
entir rely to routine business, in
Guiding the reports of officers and
committees, and the discussion of
the same.
What is regarded as one of the
most important reports was that
submitted by the Committee on
Education. This report recon-
mended that there be an increase
In industrial and agricultural in
stitutes in the public schools and
also suggests course of reading
OF economic and government af-
fairs, for all the members of the
organization. The report elected
much applause during the reading
and was unanimously adopted.
During the day resolution was
adopted recommending that the
conference held at Washington
last May between the cotton pro
ducers and the cotton manufacture
ers be repeated annually in the
future, and made permanent fea-
ture.
MINIMUM PRICE ON SEED
The committee on cotton seed
and cotton seed products submit
ted the following report which
was adopted:
We, your committee on cotton
seed and cotton seed products, beg
leave to submit the following re-
port: That, whereas. at present
mar et prices the approximate
selling price of cotton seed pro-
ducts from one ton OF cotton seed
aggregate about ST 30, as follows:
Meal, 500 pounds at 81 per ton,
$f0.80; oil, - gallons. at 27l cents
per gallon ST; Inters, so pounds,
at u cents per pound, s.. 25; hulIs,
$3.50 pounds, at St per ton, 81. %;
total $3.50
And knowing that the total
cost of producing the said products
from the raw seed will not exceed
S. per ton, We feel that the pres
emf prices paid the producer for
seed are far below what they
should be in view of the value of
the product.
Therefore, we recommend to
the members of the Farmers Ed
vocational and Cooperative Union
that ne seed be sold for less than a
minimum price of SO per ton, as
it is worth that price for fertilizer
or feed purposes. We earnestly
urge the farmers Of the South to
join us in our efforts to secure "A
fair minimum price for one Of our
principal products.
And as matter of public pol
icy, we make the further recon-
mendation that the attention OF
those public officers whose duty it
is to see that the antitrust laws
are enforced be called to violations
thereof and That they be urged, on
securing convictions, not to release
offenders by the mere payment of
a fine, bot that the provisions OF
these laws providing farimpvison-
ment penalty be rigidly enforced. :

INTERESTING DATA ABOUT
THE USE or MACHINE GUNS

Washington, d, c., April 1.-THE
military information division has been
accumulating much data concerning
machine guns, and has prepared a
general staff bulletin in the form of a
200-page pamphlet on the subject,
dealing with the tactical use of such
ordinance. The material consists, for
the most part, of translations, made
by army officers of foreign comment,
to which has been added information,
made by military attaches who ac-
companied the Russian and Japanese
armies in the field. It is interesting
to observe that the Russians have
lost confidence in the machine guns.
probably largely for the reason that
they sacrificed eight pieces at the
Yalu, while the Japanese, came into a
high appreciation of the weapon for
the damage the Russian guns wrought
in succeeding engagements, especially
at the battle of Nanshan Hill. The
results obtained with machine guns
have increased the military favor for
that ordnance, both on account of the
physical and moral effect in engage
ments.
