J. Pluvius and the w. o. w.
Picnic.

Jupiter Pluvius played havoc with
the May Day preparations by the
Colfax Woodmen of the World, q tire
mendous down-pour of rain on Tues
day and Wednesday making it i'm
possible to venture into the woods.
The choppers had quite lot Of bread,
pickles, lemons. ice. ETC., in readiness.
but managed to dispose of every
thing to the merchants except ten
gallons Of ice cream. In order that
it might not spoil, however, Tummi-
nello Bros. delivery cart was brought
into play aud the cream peddled out
''freegratis" to friends of the W. o. W.
Messrs. Win. LaCroix and w. E. Fa-
RADIO acting as dispensers.
One thing the rain did not interfere
with was the smoker" at the camp
of the chopper Wednesday night,
which was to have been an afterpart
to the picnic, but which in fact con-
stituted the entire celebration owing
to circumstances. The coifax string
band WIS present, and the choppers
had fine time all to themselves for
about three hours, listening to ORA
torical efforts by some of their friends
and doing full justice to u couple OF
boxes of fine cigars, interspersing
every puff with an effort to tell big
ger yarn than the other fellow.

T see, Mrs. Tweezer, you don't seem to understand that it is the scarcity of thing that in- creases it's price. If we could lock up our crops in our ware houses, then we could make prices instead of Wall street spectators making them for us. ."
 If you think, John, that the scarcity of a thing makes high prices, why don't you give the boil worm a chance, I think they could trim your crop to suit you. "I
 Woman, it's not so much the scarcity, as it is the spectators. :"
 The intelligent speculator of unbiased mind is not worrying himself, John, he may make money whichever way the mar ket goes; it matters little to him. whether you sell or hold. think the farmer should sell his sur plus, which is a gift of God, and costs him nothing. If the farm CTS would try to make two ears of corn or two blades of grass to grow where only one grew be- fore they would deserve better of mankind and do more service to their country than they are doing by trying to hold cotton. My husband was always con sidered one of the best farmers in the country"
 Which one of your husbands, Mrs. Tweezer?"
 Oh, 1 meant my first hus- band, John. He used to say cot ton sold in the fall at $ cents, yields as much net cash as it would in the summer, if then sold at 10 cents, and the s cents obtained in the fall could be i'm mediately and protitably re employed. "
 II knew your first husband, Mrs. Tweezer, much better than 1 know you, and to my certain knowledge he never raised lock of cotton in his life, he made no thing but failures and Johnson grass on his farm
 He might not have made much, John, but he knew when to sell his truck to realize the best prices. He believed in "Expansion;" said it is the policy and destiny of our government and people, Resolutions and penalties will not change it."
 Expansion, the thunder; who in the world ever heard of any, thing expanding except a trust. I will see, madam, that this cot ton crop is not manipulated by women and spectators" howled Tweezer as he gathered up his bundle of letters and farm journals, and left Mrs. Tweezer to ponder over the prospects of a hard year

The Farmers Union.
e ,oHN TwEEZER SAW TT.

|
 Farmers Union, 1 get great
 4ocl,s of mail every day; here is
 ', invitation for me to take part In a debate. "
 CT don't understand, John, ,ow YOU ever joined the Union. i rover knew before that you was farmer.
 "Women are not supposed to know everything, Mrs. Tweezer. If there is anything they don't ,,row it is farming. Aman don t have to wear chin whiskers and follow a mule all day to be a farmer. Now, listen to this in yitation:
 MT. John Tweezer, Esteemed
 Granger,
 We are going to have debate next Saturday night at Staples School House, and want you to he with us, subject for debate: Resolved, That the boil worm is worse than the warehouse. lam on the side of the worm and want YOU to help us. c. Scraper."
 "The promoters of this debate, Mrs. Tweezer, have apparently awakened to a problem that is staggering the whole country. Whenever a man comes to me for advice. I first find out what sort of advice he wants and 1 give it to him, and he goes away thinking how he and 1 are the two smart est men living.
 'Now, in this case 1 think a little advice will help man and worm. Despite, however, the risk of being criticized, 1 cannot resist the temptation which this subject offers, to thrust myself upon the worm, not so much in self defense, but rather in the hope that 1 may re-awaken it to an appreciation of certain ele- mental economic truths which in the present situation may do it good.
 You see. Mrs. Tweezer, | have had a great deal of ex- perience with worms; there are numerous kinds of them. Jacob was worm, but his graft was spotted cattle, while the boil worm turns it's attention to cot ton. The government has offered large rewards for the extermina- ton of these pests, and have tri- ed everything from vermifuge to Paris green, but the worm dieth not.
 The worm is not all, Mrs. Tweezer, that we farmers have to contend with. There is that
 Bear that jumps upon our crops and squeezes the living out ot them, but we are going to fix" him, Mrs. Tweezer; we will hx him hard and strong"
 How are you going to 'fix' him, John?"
 We are going to build ware houses to put our cotton in; then MT Bruin will have to lie up and suck his paw"
 But, John, 1t costs something to build warehouses, to hold cot ton, besides you will have to pay storage charges, interest, and insurance upon it..
 Nonsense, woman, the ware houses will belong to us, all we nave to do is to get storage re- ceipt for our cotton, which will oe negotiable at any bank or store"
