STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT
NELL OF FARMERS UNION.
Advances in Reasonable Sums VIII
be Made to Those Whose Cotton
Cannot Be Properly Cared
For at Home.

suit OF the two days conference
here. President Neill of the Farmers
Union OF Texas tonight gave out
the following statement:
ID. j. Neill. the president of the Far.
mers' Union OF Texas. was recently
notified by +. A. Calvin OF the Far.
mers' Union Cotton company OF
Houston, a corporation chartered by
individual members of the Union,
but independent OF the Union,
that the Farmers Cotton com.
pany could not longer ad.
vance money .on cotton ship.
ped to said company, and that such
action was made necessary by the
existing stress in the financial
world.
Mr.. Neill realized at once that ac.
ton on his part as president of the
union was imperative, to the end
that the Interest OF the unions men,
bers might be safeguarded.
The farmers are holding their cot.
ton for better prices. and they be-
lieve conditions warrant them in ex.
pecting prices. Many of them are
holding this cotton in the open yards.
subjecting 1t to the great deteriOr-
alton In value from exposure, and
many OF them need an advance on
their cotton sufficient to meet their
actual expenses.
To prevent this cotton from deteri.
Grafton and at the same time to as.
sist the farmers in obtaining money
for their necessities, Mr.. Neill, as
president of the union, came to
Galveston, where the union once be-
fore accepted the services OF the
banking and warehouse interests, and
where most acceptable facilities had
been found to exist for holding and
selling cotton.
lie has arranged with w. l.. Moody
Co, bankers and cotton factors In
Galveston, to take care OF the cotton
OF the members OF the union which
can not be properly cared for at
their homes. When cotton is already
stored and financed In the interior
no necessity demands its removal. but
cotton which needs warehouse pro
lection, and upon which reasonable
loans are required, will be taken
care OF by w. l.. Moody & Co. In
Galveston.
The situation demands that the
members OF the union should call
for as small an advance as possible
keeping In mind that the less they
advance. the greater the amount
that can be stored and held for the
accomplishment of the great purpose
the union has In view, namely, that
of obtaining profitable and reasonable
prices, and of establishing their Rbil
| ity to always demand such prices
Mr.. Neill will therefore advise the
members of the union of his ar
rangements with w. l.. Moody & Co
and will caution them to keep II
close touch with w. l.. Moody & Co
and himself, when amounts are to be
shipped. w. l.. Moody & Co. SHOULD
be advised before shipments ar
made. so that preparations will b,
made for proper storage and proper
| advances.
Mr.. Calvin of the Farmers Unior
Cotton company approved OF thi,
arrangement with w, l.. Moody &
Co. made by Mr.. Neill, and wal
much gratlfied to feel that the mem
bers of the union who are holdlnl

Nature and Broken Bones.
New York Tribunc.)

In the splicing Of broken bones ma
ture can give the best surgeon point
ers. When a bone is broken the
splintered ends are surrounded with
cartilage until they are firmly held
in position. Then gradually layer
of bone is placed between them and
soldered together. All the physi-
clan has to do is to bring the two
ends Of the bones together so that
the point will be smooth and even.

ONE OF THE new METHODS.
Sleeping Outdoors.
Youths Companion.

Many persons with the best will
in the world to live in obedience to
the laws of health, make failure of
the open-air night, of which one now
hears SO much; and which is; in fact,
the chief dependence in the treat
ment of tuberculosis.
There are several reasons why the
attempt to sleep outdoors. whether
literally or in a wide-open room, re-
suits in failure. 1t is such a radical
departure with so many persons that
they do not have the first idea how
to start it. A great many of them
have at the back Of their minds sort
of lingering impression that discom-
fort is part of the treatment; that
to become hardened one must be
wretched, and that misery and virtue
are boon companions. AS comfort is
not expected, there are no pains made
to capture it. The would-be disciple
of health simply throws up all the
windows, gets into bed with the usual
coverings, perhaps lies all night with
the uncovered head in direct draft
of air, shivers in seniiwakefulness
for hours, and then on rising in the
morning chilled and devitalized, per-
haps coughing and sneezing, con-
demns the whole scheme as a snare,
returns the next night to the closed
window plan, and launches himself
upon society as the prophet of stuff
ness.
This is all wrong, and a little
thought will show why. If the night
air is to be breathed as it comes
straight from the outside, as it should
be, preparations must be made to
welcome it, and room in which the
temperature is twenty degrees or
thirty degrees Fahrenheit cannot be
occupied in the same clothing as one
kept at sixty degrees.
Down coverlets are invaluable for
these fresh-air nights, for they are
as light as they are warm. Many
persons are averse to heavy bed-cloth-
ing, and they are right. Weight does
not necessarily imply warmth, and it
is foolish to use up vital force in
holding up heavy weight during the
hours consecrated to rest.
The sleeping garment itself should
be of some light and warm material,
preferably woolen. Special thought
should be given to the protection of
the head. People, at any rate in
this part of the world, are not accus-
toned to going bare-headed in the
open air, so there is really no reason
why they should expect to do SO
with impunity for seven or eight
hours in cold weather at night. A
soft cap cut to cover the ears and to
hang down the back of the neck
should always be worn. This shape
closes the little space between the
cap and the bedclothes, and incident
ally prevents many a stiff neck.
A hot-water bottle is a good friend
on a bitter night, and is worth more
than many top spreads, for the
bottle generates heat while the
spread only retains it.

"Out of only two-ffths Of the pop

GREAT INLAND LAKE.
The Colorado River Has Turned Its
Course.
Golfers Weekly.

Imagine a cup-shaped hollow in
the earth. And imagine up along
one side of. the rim Of the cup great
tivtr running. How the river came
to be away up there, four hundred
feet above the valley, is story of
geology, too long and complicated to
| tell hsfa.
The cup-shaped depression was the
Salton Sink. At it's bottom it was
565 feet below sea level, and just 483
feet below the Colorado River. Men
walking in the valley used to look
wondel;ingly UP al tht rivtr es men
look at clouds. And all that kept
the river in its course, all that stood
between it and the Sink, was frail
bank Of silt.
There was never a drop of water
in the Sink; but there was fine, pow
derry black loan, marvelously rich.
Also the temperature was ITO. This
situation could not help but be sug-
gestive to reflective minds. With
water and that soil and that heat
you would have simply a hot-house;
with no expense for coal. Crops?-
So they tapped the bank of the
river high up the side Of the valley,
and ran an irrigation canal into the
Sink. Settlers poured 1000
families and $4,000 people. Such
crops were never heard of. Every
six weeks they harvested a crop of
alfalfa. Such fruitfulness excited
cupidity, and settlers came faster
and faster-so fast there wasn't
enough water-so they tapped the
Colorado, high up the valley side, a
little more. Then towns sprang up,
and the Southern Pacific laid a
branch in to carry the crops to San
Francisco. More settlers, n-ore
need for water, more tapping of the
Colorado.
Finally they tapped once too oftel!.
While they were at work a flood
came down the river. The work of
the tappers was like the finger-hole
in the dixie. The hole grew larger
and larger. Finally, the whole Co.
erado River just abandoned its old
course and turned right into the
Salton Sink-just as if the Mississip-
pi should leave its banks at Daven-
port and start cross country to
Springfield.
That was in 1904. The river has
been pouring into the Salton Sink
ever since. There is no outlet fer it.
The plain end of it is new lake big
ger than any within the United
States as big as Lake Ontario. AL
ready a space half as big as Rhode
Island is covered, some of it from 50
to 80 feet deep. The farms and the
wonderful alfalfa crops are sub
merged, and the slowly rising water
has compelled the railroad to move
back, and farther back, for 40 miles.
And all these two years men have
done their best to stop the river and
turn it back into it's old course. First
they drove piles and filled in with
brush and bags of sand. But, with
out going into details, there have
been six separate attempts, and all
unsuccessful. Lately, Congress has
appropriated two million dollars to
do the work.
