A Ralny-day Party.
From Harper's Bazar.

From Harpers Bazar.
 For the rainy day, which all hostesses dread, a barn party Is great fun. clean, roomy carriage house is easily swept out and made empty and then the guests can amuse themselves a whole afternoon In decorating 1t for the evening. Corn stalks may be stacked in the corners, and ears of corn festooned across the ceiling. with punches of wheat and oats on the walls. For lighting, of course jack o'-Ianterns are the proper thing, and these are the funniest things in the world made oIt of summer squashes for long. quaint. dismal faces result from their narrow shape. These can be swung from the ceiling by strings so they will hang down over the heads of the dancers below.
 For music there should be nothing conventional of course. The very best things possible Is an accordeon, if that is obtainable. If not, there may be a fiddle to be had
 As to refreshments, doughnuts and cider--the latter served with straws-- and sandwiches of sliced ham and bread cut thick. and popcorn and molasses candy. and, above all. pie, are in keep ing with the spirit of the party.

more of the world Standing on the streets a few days ago a striking ex- ample of the peculiar relations existing between the newly married and those of wider experience in the matrimonial life was vividly brought to mind.
 They had been married probably ten years.
 q am completely exhausted and don't intend to walk another step" said the woman. "I have seen quite enough of this town, and am going to leave here on the first train
 But, dear, there are Just few more points of interest that I would like to see, if you don't mind,'' said the hen pecked looking man. Well, l do mind. and I am going" and with that she strode up the avenue, and he followed meekly behind.
 Dearest, Is there any place that yoy would like to see flrst?' he said, witl the love light still in his eyes.
 Just anywhere you want to go VII suit me exactly, dear" she said look ing up into his eyes and smiling. "But 1t Is you. and you first. I want to please. But haven't you some pref erence, some" And I passed on before the Gaston- Alphonse act had been completed.

Notice of Campaign.

What motive underlles the campaign of defamation need not here be discussed, but for all, friends and foes, and 1t Is re- iterated that the Standard oil company is carrying on a widespread business of great moment to the prosperity of the American people in absolute obedience to the soundest principles of business and to the spirit and letter of the law. Attacks upon 1t of the kind described are aimed at the nations industrial and mercantile life.
 "It is encouraging, amid the fury of the hour, which assails so many corporations, all organized industry and all wealI, to know that scores of editors through the country. on examination of the facts, have forcibly and clearly expressed their opinion that the greatest wrong has been done to the Standard oil company. Fol lowing their example. 1t is sincerely hoped that the editors who have passed nasty Judgment upon the company will also examine the facts and reach just conclusions. That our friends may know more fully how the truly independent arc upholdlng right and honesty, a few edi- torlal comments are appended following MT. Moffet's public statement on the All ton case. Each will repay reading"

GIRLS GET RAISE
 TO REMAIN SINGLE
PAPER COMPANY WARS ON MAR RACE To KEEP EMPLoYES, BUT YOUNG MEN ARE NOT EASILY KEPT AWAY. .iAA1lAfm

Appleton. Wis, August co-Is the per centage of marriages in tho Fox river valley to be lessened through the infiu- ence of the wealthy paper manufactur- | erB7
 It has often been asserted that the pa- per makers discourage their young lady employees intent upon matrimony, but the first direct evidence of thls came re- gently, when s. R. Wagg, superintendent of the Rox river paper mill of this city raised the wages of the cutter and finish ing girls with tho stipulation that they stay single.
 Fourteen girls employed in cutting pa- per struck and the wages they requested were granted Following this action MT. Wagg called tho ton finishing girls to his office. informed them their pay was in- creased 10 cents a day and that their hours should not be heightened
 Girls" said MT. Wagg, you have all been faithful employees and I want to show you I appreciate it. Now I like the work you are doing and I have in creased your pay. You can make enough to be Independent and can care for your | selves better than many mon can care Tor | you. Just when you are able to count or finish, well, I don't like to sec you go and | get married, so I hope as long as VIC make 1t an object for you to work here you will not be tempted to undertake married life" This in substance was the remarks of the paper maker. | Now 1t Is claimed five young men who have been waiting upon young ladies in- cluded in the advance in wages have de- serted the cause and arc looking else where for sweethearts.

WILL HOLD COTTON
 TO GET BIG PRICE
COTTON GROWERS OF TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA WILL NOT SELL THEIR CROPS FOR SOME TIME TO COME.

Guthrie, o. T., August 20.-The cotton growers of the new state and Texas are preparing "to fight the devil with .lre" They are reinforcing their "com- bination" to force up prices on the Got ton Buyers Trust" In other words. they are preparing to hold their cotton until the buyers offer Il cents.
 The idea is not new nor is the method of execution. A new feature is the union warehouses, some of which are now un- der contract, and more are decided upon. It will store his cotton and hold 1t until the buyer comes to his price.
 Heretofore union members have been loyal to the idea of holding their cotton until the stipulated price was offered. but when the man whose years living was wrapped up in the bales awaiting shipment saw them rotting in the open freight yard or his own barnyard he usually weakened and made poor bar gains with the buyer.
 This year the union goes Into the battlo with larger membership greater con fidence and an assured ability to loan money to the farmer who Is willing to store his cotton until the right price is offered. but cannot walt until that un- certain time for his money.
 The plan is to loan money at per cent on warehouse receipts for cotton stored, the same to be graded and valued by an experienced cotton man, who will be in charge of the warehouse. 1t is a method that has been employed for many years by the wheat shippers and grow CTS.
 The union now has warehouse at Houston, Tex. Its conduct was so profit able to the union last year that 1t has en- couraged the building plan. The inten- tion Is to erect warehouses at all large shipping points and when they are filled with cotton refuse to entertain bids from middlemen or brokers, but demand that the spinners buy the cotton thus held.
 The spinners have recognized the strength of the union by inviting a con ference with an object of buying the cot ton controlled by the union. The abil,.y of the union to store the cotton until the spinners need 1t is the point on which the deal hinges
 Another feature in connection with the warehouses will be cotton schools held during the farmers idle months. Experts will be engaged to teach the best meth ods of seed testing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, ginning and preparing for the market. Such a school at Houston last year had 100 students. all practical grow CTS, some of them of years experience; all admitted the benefits.

Berlin. August 20-As a result of many firms having been compelled to employ Americans and Englishmen the Berlin association of merchants and manufac- turers has directed petition to the minIs- ter of education, asking the educational board to make the study of the English language obligatory in the commercial high schools and colleges
 It has also recommended that an English college be founded in Berlin for the pur- pose of better fitting young men and women for commercial positions. At pres ent young men have a choice between French and English, and the great ma jority choose French
 The association lays stress on the fact that trade relations between Germany and English speaking countries demand better knowledge of English on the part of Ger man mechants

 This Manner CARMACK TO THE FRONT Former Senator Looms Up as Pos. slbIe Candidate for Governor on Prohibition Ticket Against
 Governor Patterson.
CARMACK TO THE FRON I

Chattanooga, August s0.--(Special.)- There may be held next year the first democratic primary for the nomination of all state officers ever held in Ten nessee. For some time there has been a great deal of discussion of the pri- mary plan for the nomination of & can dldate for governor, in democratic political circles. This Is largely due to the fact that the contest for this office is generally anticipated. and bear ing in mind the disorganized and fac tional condition of the party after tho bitter contest of last year, party lead CTS have been discussing some method which would effect a settlement of con- tests without disrupting the orsaniza- tion.
 It is generally admitted that al- though there was more interest in the senatorial contest last year than in the fight for governor the settlement of the former was much more satisfactory than the convention plan used for the nomination of governor, and did less harm to party discipline and to the in- tegrity of the organization. In other " OAuS IiSLO Wa5 iCS5 OlllCIu6SS d5 u result of the senatorial primary than resulted from the acrimonious and stubborn convention fight.
 It Is practically admitted by polii- clans who are in a position to know that ex-United States D. W. Carmack Is to be a candidate for governor on the prohibition ticket
 
 M. L. Semon of Birmingham is in Chattanooga looking after the opening of the Bijou theatre here. O. A. Neal formerly of the Biiou staff in Birming- ham, has been appointed local manager, but MT. Semon vii lremain here for about two weeks looking after the preliminaries incident to the opening. All of Jake Wells Bi1ou theatres will open tn eseason of 19G--08 with a Labor Day matinee.
 Hot Mayoralty Race.
 T. c. Thompson. a local capitalist, is being groomed to enter the race for mayor. Should MT. Thompson decide to enter the race there will be three candidates for the office. Excitement is at a fever heat over the municipal campaign which Is without doubt the warmest in the history of Chattanooga.

AdroIt Warfare.

"So persistent and aoroit has been the warfare waged with all the overpowerins authority of the federal administration against the Standard oil company, that it has been manifestly difficult to get fair hearing before the public or in a large portion of the press, the latter to it's great harm, swayed alike by socalis- tic outery from below and political pres sure from above.
 "As proof of the latter 1t may be noted that In the presidents message of May f. 1906, attack was made on the Standard oil company for the purpose of forcing the passage of the bill remitting the duty on denatured alconol--a measure in which the company was not interested. On May r, 1906. the issue of Commissioner Gar fields report on petroleum transportation, tissue of old msrepresentations. was timed to influence the Hepburn rate bill then before congress. On May 20, 1907, while Judge Lands had still under con sideration the judgment in the Chicago and Alton case, Commissioner Smiths H. logical and partisan report on pipe lines was made public. The commissioner second report on petroleum prices and profits, a wholly false deduction from in- complete facts was sent in advance to the press for publication on August in the knowledge that Judge Landis would pronounce judgment August B. Here sure- ly Is evidence of a combination infiuenc- ing sources of public opinion.

DEFENSE MADE BY STANDARD OIL CO. Pamphlet Says Verdict Was on
 TechnicaIity CHARGES AGAINST JUDGE President Moffatt In Ills Paper De. clares That It Is Difficult for tn Company to Get Falr
 Hearing.
CHARGES AGAINST JUDGE

New York, August 20.--The directors of the Standard oil company today Issued pamphlet to It's employees and 240,0 900 imposed on the Standard Oil company of Indiana. The pamphlet contained a statement from President Moffett, president of the Standard Oil company, of a number of editorial ar tioles favorable to the company. taken from various American newspapers. The especially noteworthy feature of the pamphlet is its Introductory statement which Is as follows:
 "The directors of the Standard Oil company in printing this pamphlet de- sire to emphasize for the half million people directly interested in its well fore the assurance of the company's absolute innocence of wrong doing in any of the prosecutions lateg tinstitu- ted against it in the federal z cts. Par ticularly is this so in the ' sent Chi cago and Alton railroad caf made mo- torious by the sensational fine of s2s,- 24o,000 imposed on the Standard oil company of Indiana.
 
 Tt should be known as widely as possible that this is no case of rebate or discrimination. but simply of the legality of freight rate. It should be known that the verdict was obtained by the government upon the most hair splitting technicality, aided by the rig orous exclusion of evidence that would have removed all presumption of guilt.
 "If the judgment in question be al- lowed to stand the company will be forced to pay $9o,o00 (that Is, fifty times the value of the oiD for every car load carried over the Alton road during two years at an open cent rate--a rate used over three compet- ing railroads for from ten to fourteen years. The trial judge refused to al- low proof that the cent rate had been filed by the Chicago and Eastern Illi- nois, and was therefore a legal rate" He refused to allow proof that linseed oil, for instance, was carried at cents and other bulk commodities as low as cents. He insisted that IS cents was the only legal rate for oil when no one had ever paid it, and when 1t was authoritatively sworn that 1t did not apply to oil. The case has been taken on appeal to the higher courts to which we must look for that calm Judgment which will rescue the rights of the citizen from the field of public clamor and from the domain of vindictive poll tics.
