All over the country the question of wrapping for cotton is being agi- tated. and not without some good re- suits. The Texas State Union, lately in session at Ft. Worth. decided that there must be a big bagging mill built in Texas for the manufacture of wrapping from the cheaper grades of cotton. The Geogia Union has de- cided to use burlap this season so far as possible, and to get to the cotton wrapping proposition as soon as pos sible. Cotton should be wrapped in cotton, and the ties should be cotton cords. That is the way to use lot or the cheap grades that now bring comparatively little on the market, yet which is worked over and made to take the place of good cotton in the manufactures.

MAcHlNERY Vs. HIRED HELP.

One problem tEat the farmers Of the West have been trying to solve during the last four years is whether machinery can be made to take the place of high priced and unsatisfac- tory labor and whether or rot ma chinery is the cheaper The old two
 man crew of pitching hay either on the wagon or stack has given place to the hay loader and stacker. H5th work satisfactorily, either one doing more than any two men c21 possibly dc. The two row e8ltiyatcr has taken the piace of one man in the corn field and the resulting work is JGst as sat isfactory. And so ia all lines of farm work. If @ farmer is willing to in vest a little his Of money in machin- cry instead of laGor he will get re- suits just the same. The too,s do not have to be fed. They do not have to have a bed made up each day and the washing that a hired man has in the weekly tub is lacking entirely. All this is an expense much greater than we generally figure on. We are too apt to think that all the expense Of a hired man is comprised in the S20 or S25 per month that we pay him, when if the truth was known, $10 month at least, should be added to that. Ma cfinery seems to tighten the work of the women folks greatly, but on the other hand, the farmer lacks the help in doing the chores This amounts to good deal in some cases and on some farms hired help is a necessity.

The good of diversifcation has nev- CT had finer illustration of it's benef- cence than it has had in the Panhan- de country of Texas Some twenty years ago, that was thought to be the original home of wheat" and wheat only was planted. We'll, the dry weather and the green bug came along, and all the stalks the drouth got, and the green bug dug up the roots. This happened three years to- gether andthe result was that the country was practically depopulated. The green bug and bad weather were as bad this year as they ever were, but the people of the Panhandle do not know that anything has happened to them. There are now great fields of as fine alfalfa as ever grew there are fields of great big cotton-yes, cotton in the Pandandle-there is milo maize, and the good Lord only knows what else, but these people actually don't know that the thing that happened to their wheat this year, and which they do not notice at all, happened a quarter of century ago and depopulated the land and beg gared the remaining few. Boys, di versify. But for goodness sake don't
 get it into your head that change oi crop is diversifcation. One sort o1 exclusive crop is about as bad as an other, if not a little worse. Plant
 above all, the things that you can use l at home.

elusive one crop man; oh, no; he has a variety of crops, and from these he wisely selects those that will be sure in the aggregate to yield him the best sure returns He knows that it will not do to depend on one crop. That plan is a loser all the time. He se- lects those things that are best adapt ed to his lands and markets, for the stability of an article has as much to do with it's value as it's production. This is the thing that the Union is emphasizing in all it's work.

Being an able lawyer, a deep thinker and logical reasoner, he has won the admiration and respect of his confereres in Congress by his indefatigable and faithful work in behalf of the party and the people he represents. He is one of those solid, substantial, far-seeing statesmen, one to whom the people can look to with security, knowing that he will be found at his post, doing duty at all times. The Demo- crats of the district are respect fully invited to consider his claims at the forthcoming pri- maries Marshall Wave.
 Elsewhere in this issue will be found the announcement ofJ. c. Floyd for re election to Congress. MT. Floyd is now serving his second term as representative from this district and no man has ever been given the high distinction that has made himself more deserving of the confi- dence of his constituency. He has been heard on every question of national importance, and at t!e same time he has looked after the interest of the people of his district in all legislation pertaining to their welfare, He should be and undoubtedly will be elected without opposition.-- Berryville Star.
 We take pleasure in announce ing this week Congressman J. C. Floyd, of Marion county, as a candidate for reelection. In every way, as worker, speak CT and a promoter of wise leg islation. he has more than met the expections of his friends, and won the esteem of all parties during the three years he has oc- cupied this high place. His po- sjtions on all questions of national importance have been wisely taken and ably maintained in every instance, and in the mean time he has found time to look carefully after every interest of his constituency. He will be re- tained by unanimous consent.- Harrison Times.
 Hon. J. C. Floyd, our popular and efficient Congressman of the 3rd Congressional district, made the Flashlight office pleasant call Tuesday. He spent thf ee days here consulting with his constituents and learning their needs. Floyd is one of those plain, open and frank fellows that is greatly beloved by his constituents, whether they be democrats or republicans. He looks closely after the needs of his district and is hard worker in Congress. We wish there were more Floyds in the national house of representatives reka Springs Flashlight.
 In this issue will be found the announcement of Hon. J. C.. Floyd as a candidate for re-elec- lion to Congress from this, the third congressional district. Mr. Floyd will doubtless be re elected without opposition, but should he have any his appointment on several very important commit tees will give him a favorable consideration and advantage that will not likely be overcome by any opposition.-Alpena Search light.

While the County, State a1 al Union are the creation of the locals, their actions must be absolutely sus- tained because of the very fact that the majority of the individual mem bers of the Union have made the Ma tional body to outline plan by which the entire army of locals can move as one, and the only way to attain sue cess is to obey the orde.s of yourself through the agent of your own ere ation.

The Sandal Question.

A college girl whose city home de- bars her from a trial of the Kneip cure for her negligee footgear the same style of sandals that children wear without hosiery. "They give my feet a good airing every day and my toes a chance to spread out square as Mother Nature intended they should, is her explanation. She does not carry her fad outside the limits of her own private apartment, but even so, the time of relief from hosiery and stylish shoes is great relief, she claims, to tired feet.

Hope For Insanity Plea.

New York, Jan. 5.-Eyelyn Nesbit
! Thaw and her mother Mrs. Charles
| j. Holman, are really estranged. A
| final effort j. to be made to induce
Harry Thaw to consent to plea Of
insanity being entered in his behalf.
These were two important develop
ments in the Thaw case yesterday.
A conference of the member: of the
Thaw family will take place In this
city within the next ten days. Word
has been sent to the Countess of Var
mouth, siste~ of Thaw, who is with
her hus band in London, that her pres
enco is desired
Contrary to statements, that Mrs
William Thaw has begged her sJn to
plead insanity, it is now asserted that
she has from the start upheld him in
his opposition to such a plea, So the
Countess will have to plead with her
mother as well as The prisoner in an
effort 10 bring about the defense that
The rest Of the family believes the
only safe one.
1t is said however, that the mother
may even risk the possibility of her
son going 10 the electric chair rather
than let the family name suffer the
stigma of an insanity plea.
Now Plans Revenge.
The news of the estrangement be-
ween Evelyn NesbitThaw and her
mother was contained in telegram
from Mr.. Holman in Pittsburg, which
read:
Newspapers say Mrs. Holman is
seeking revenge. She has never ex
pressed herself in any such manner,
nor has she had any communication
with Mrs H. X Thaw since her mar
Tiagc."
Coincident with the astonishing dis
closure in this message ii was learned |
that the district attorneys office Is |
holding Mrs Holman as a kind of
club, eli her to frighten the defense
into not calling Evelyn Nesbit-Thaw
as a witness, or to refute the wifes
testimony in regard to the "unwritten
aw" if she should take the stand.
Mrs. Holman entertains Il stong
hatred for the elder Mrs Thaw,
whose haughtiness is the real cause
IF the estrangement between Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw and her mother. Mrs.
lhaw gave her consent to her sons
wedding only with the proviso that
he former chorus girl should never
speak TO or communicate with her
mother again.
